The campaign has drawn significant praise from the scientific and medical community across Europe for promoting the lifelong benefits of quitting smoking.The ELF Award will be presented at the opening ceremony of the ERS Annual Congress (7th - 11th September, 2013), an event which gathers around 20,000 healthcare professionals to discuss the latest advances in respiratory medicine. 'Quit Smoking With Barca' has been recognized specifically for its contribution to improving European lung health.It was a unanimous decision to honor the campaign with the award, according to ELF Chair Monica Fletcher: 'What impressed us most about this campaign was its unique approach to reach people who have previously not been successful at quitting smoking, or hadn't even tried to quit. The campaign has helped these people quit for good, making a significant impact in our shared quest to highlight the importance of good lung health.'A major catalyst for the European Commission and Barca working together is their shared commitment to protecting people's health, says Paola Testori Coggi, Director-General for Health and Consumers, European Commission: "We are honoured to be here alongside FC Barcelona to receive this award for the 'Quit Smoking With Barca'campaign. I am pleased that the positive impact we've made through this partnership has been recognised by the wider health community. 70,000 Europeans have signed up to 'Quit Smoking With Barca' and nearly 400,000 are trying to quit with the wider "Ex-Smokers are Unstoppable" campaign's smoking cessation tool, iCoach .

We are proud to stand alongside the EC, especially here in our city of Barcelona, to collect this ELF 儲存ward. It shows that thankfully our message is being noticed and that our combined efforts are making a positive difference.

Source: The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, IowaSept.文件倉 06--Pressure can crush rocks, but it also can create diamonds.Ryan Blaney has handled big expectations for a sparkling start to his NASCAR career.Blaney will look to repeat his performance last September at Iowa Speedway when he returns to the Newton track for the NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series Fan Appreciation 200 presented by New Holland on Sunday, beginning at 1 p.m. Practice and qualifying are Saturday.Blaney became the youngest winner in series history at 18 when he reached victory lane at this race in 2012.The 19-year-old from Concord, N.C., was recognized as one of NASCAR's future stars, being selected to the NASCAR Next 9 in 2012. He also has to contend with being the son of NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Dave Blaney, but he doesn't shy away from the challenge."I never really felt it as pressure as much as opportunity to make the best of the situation," Blaney said. "I found it as motivation to do better. If they aren't supportive, prove them wrong. If they are, show I can do it."Actually, it's always been a confidence booster for me."He doesn't mind the comparisons to his dad. After all, the older Blaney has more than 450 Sprint Cup starts and more than 100 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. The third-generation driver strives to be the best in his family, and overall."I just want to keep progressing and get better, and hopefully exceed the level he has," said Blaney, whose late grandfather, Lou, was an accomplished sprint car driver. "That would be incredible."Auto racing has always been a shared love for the family. Blaney said he spends 90-percent of the NASCAR season with his dad, split between their home and the race track. It means a lot to have someone to talk with about auto racing every hour of the day and each day during the week, even though their opinions occasionally clash."It was huge," Blaney said. "Not a lot of families can do that. I've been fortunate to 存倉ave a dad who knows what is going on and help me out, working on the car. We've had a lot of late nights working on the cars."As much as his father has influenced and assisted in his development, Blaney has moved into a beneficial situation, racing for Brad Keselowski Racing, owned by the defending Sprint Cup points champion. Blaney said it is "cool" racing for Keselowski and that he picks Keselowski's brain about racing as much as possible, gaining advice applied on and off the track."I'm lucky to say that it's the best to have an owner that is also a driver," Blaney said. "He knows what is going on and the behind-the-scenes things. He's very involved with the team."Blaney sits seventh in the points standings before this weekend. He has five top-five finishes and eight in the top-10. Blaney earned his second career victory at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway to open August, winning the same weekend Keselowski won the Nationwide U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway. The weekend, and his first win after switching from Dodge to Ford manufacturers, keeps providing a boost."We're still rolling on that Pocono win," Blaney said. "The confidence level is still up with our team."Previous success at Iowa Speedway helps as well. The combination a good truck, a solid driver and things playing out in their favor produced a memorable performance last year. Blaney said a repeat is possible, despite a less successful performance here in July."I was already very comfortable with the race track. I had a really fast truck right from the start of practice," said Blaney, who has raced at Iowa Speedway in different circuits, serving as a last-minute replacement in June's Nationwide race for Team Penske. "We're going to start close to how we were last year. I think we'll have a really good shot."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) Visit The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) at thegazette.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

Toyota's Asian Avanza takes you on an austerity drive down memory laneStop press.迷你倉新蒲崗 Toyota has invented a time machine. It is called the Avanza, a vehicle that will turn back the clock for up to seven people at a time.Step into the Indonesian-made MPV and you will be transported back to the days when hard, hollow plastics dominated car interiors.And when air-conditioning controls were completely manual, gauges were lit by yellow incandescent bulbs, calibration for switches were mere stickers, and the steering wheel could be adjusted only for tilt (and there is no steering lock).Quite easily, the Avanza takes you to the 1980s, when you could peek into the sleeve of the handbrake lever and see what is underneath, or pop the bonnet by pulling a T-shaped lever that reminds you of the choke of old.Really "retrolicious", man.Also, if you leave the headlights on after leaving the car, there is no chime to warn you. You will discover that only the next morning, when you try to start the engine.The car will, however, make all kinds of beeps - when you lock, unlock the doors, open the door, close the tailgate or do the hokey-pokey.And they are very loud, piercing beeps, which were the rage back when disco was the rage.The Avanza is a basic utilitarian seven-seater targeted at emerging markets in South-east Asia. In most of these markets, it is selling like tie-dye T-shirts in the 1970s, largely because of preferential taxes accorded to locally assembled products.But in markets with more sophisticated vehicle tax structures (such as ours), the Avanza faces an uphill task. At about $130,000, it is by no stretch of the imagination a budget buy.It is nevertheless among the cheapest new MPVs you can buy here, now that cars such as the Kia Carens and Honda Freed have bowed out because of prohibitive COE prices (the latter is Indonesian- made too).And if you take the car for what it is - a functional, no-frills vehicle that seats seven - it is not half迷你倉出租bad.It is best, however, with no more than six onboard. The middle seat in the second row is really not all that comfortable.The Avanza's tallish, boxy stance also means it has adequate headroom for all, and good visibility for the driver.It is surprisingly driveable, thanks to a lively 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine paired with a humble but effective four-speed autobox. You would think such a modest naturally aspirated power plant would be anaemic, but it is not.While its century sprint timing of 15 seconds is nothing to shout about, it has enough low-end torque to make city driving relatively breezy. Gear changes could be smoother, but the ratios are spaced intelligently.The car goes around corners with more body movements than a pregnant hippo, but steering response is otherwise nifty and direct.It is not entirely unpleasant at the helm. In fact, the Avanza delivers better driveability than its modest bearing suggests. It has a tight turning circle and is sprung to handle the varying quality of roads in the region.The Asian Toyota is also reasonably refined in the noise-vibration-harshness department. And it offers a decent amount of versatility as an MPV, with second-row seats that can be folded and flipped. Third-row seats can be folded but do not collapse to form a flat cargo area.While the car is generally austere, there are two features that surprise nearly as much as a Coke can in an archaeological dig. First, rear air-con blowers with fan speed controls. And next, a USB port.The car is also fitted with two frontal airbags, anti-lock braking system and electronic brake distribution.Even so, it is still not a thriller of a carrier. For $19,000 more, you can get a Toyota Wish, which is better-looking, better built, more versatile and appeciably more efficient despite its bigger engine.Or if you want to go budget, go all the way with the Suzuki APV, another Indonesian-made multi-seater. It costs about $122,000.christan@sph.com.sg迷你倉

女子毆打保安。警車視而不見。（視頻截圖）本報訊（記者薛長明 張宇 實習生張瀟暉）9月6日上午，迷你倉價錢一輛車號為甘A·59***的奧迪轎車在進入甘肅省人民醫院後，試圖將車停在應急通道，此舉遭到醫院保安的阻攔。事後該保安好心為奧迪車找到了一個停車位，但該車女司機不但不領情，反而叫來兩名男子對保安進行毆打。其間，女子不停地狠踹保安下體，致使該保安下體受傷，目前正在醫院接受治療。中年女子發狠 猛踹保安下體當日上午10時許，記者趕至省人民醫院時，打人的女子已經離開現場，被打的保安還躺在地上不斷呻吟，而在其身後就是打人女子當時駕駛的車號為甘A·59***的奧迪轎車。談起剛才的一幕，一位目擊者稱：“真是太過分了！”該目擊者告訴記者，大約在9時40分，他路過省人民醫院應急通道時看到，一名中年女子正對著一名保安撕扯，其間該保安為了自身安全只是用雙手不斷向外推擋該女子，以防該女子踢到自己。就在此時，附近又跑出來兩名男子，兩人和該女子將保安圍在中間，女子連續兩次用自己的膝蓋猛撞保安下體，保安應聲倒地。在醫院的監控視頻上記者看到，保安倒地後，女子並未收手，而是沖上前去，再一次用所穿的高跟鞋猛踹保安下體，疼痛難忍的保安蜷縮在地上不停地翻滾。此時，醫院的另外兩名保安趕到現場勸架，打人女子乘勸架的保安不注意，再次上前腳踹倒地的保安。視頻顯示，在整個過程中，女子用膝蓋撞了保安下體兩次，用高跟鞋分別狠踹保安下體和腿部各3次。其間，另外兩名男子則不停地攔阻其他上前勸架的保安。警車揚長而去 難道是沒看見從監控視頻中，記者注意到，在該女子毆打該保安期間，一輛車身印有“公安”標示的迷你倉車行駛至此稍作停頓後，避開打人的女子揚長而去。據醫院保安張先生介紹，警車路過此處時，因為該女子正在毆打保安，一些站在道路中間的圍觀人員將道路堵住，導致該警車無法通過。見有警車過來，其中一名保安大喊：“警察，有人打人了！”但是沒想到的是，該警車不但沒有停車阻止女子的暴行，反而是等人群分散後，徑直駛離了醫院。由於監控視頻的角度問題，記者無法在監控視頻中查出警車的車牌號。但是對於警車遇到此種事情時，裝作沒有看見的舉動，許多目擊者表示無法接受。好心反而遭打 同事氣憤難平究竟是何原因引起這場爭端？醫院的一位工作人員向記者道出了事情的真相。據其講，當日上午9時20分，該女子駕駛車輛將車停在醫院120急救車應急通道上，此舉立刻遭到醫院保安陳先生（前文所述被打保安）阻止，其間雙方就此發生爭執。隨後，陳先生見該女子是駕車帶自己的父親來醫院看病，多方調停下，為該女子挪出一個車位。沒想到的是，該女子不但不領情，反而認為保安故意找茬，所以才發生了後面的事情。“這個女人太過分了，如果不是醫院有規定，我真想當場將她揍一頓。”醫院的另一位保安告訴記者，當時他看到該女子的暴行，上前阻攔時卻遭到該女子的謾罵和撕扯。由於醫院規定所有工作人員在遇人挑釁時，要做到罵不還口、打不還手。鑒於此，雖然當時趕到現場的有多名保安人員，但是大家都只是盡力勸阻，並沒有對該女子實施強制措施。隨後，記者通過該女子所駕駛的車牌號查詢出，該奧迪車為私家車，車主姓魏，家住城關區南河灘。經醫院診斷，被打保安下體直至目前依然有淤青現象，至於是否存在後遺症，尚需進一步觀察治療。目前，警方就此事已介入調查。儲存

Is Hong Kong suffering a brain drain? The question is being asked as more citizens are said to have left for good, while fewer foreigners come to live in the city.迷你倉 The latest census figures seem to suggest the ebbs and flows go beyond usual fluctuations. Between mid-2012 and the middle of this year, 4,000 more people left than settled here; a similar situation pertained a year earlier. The number of emigrants rose 8 per cent year on year to 3,900 in the first six months of this year. The figure maybe a small drop in an ocean of seven million people; it is nonetheless a phenomenon that warrants closer attention.Arguably, there is nothing wrong when people come and go. The two-way traffic has been part of a free and open city like ours. Being the gateway to mainland China means there are always foreigners who come for new opportunities; and there are locals who leave for greener pastures for various reasons. It may therefore be premature to say a brain drain is under way; and even if there is, it appears less serious than the exodus sparked by the uncertainties in the run up to the handover. However, if the trend continues, it will be a cause for concern.That people are perhaps looking at better options elsewhere is unsurprising. As reported in this newspaper, immigration consul文件倉ants and academics attribute the current outflow to the usual factors such as high living costs, worsening living environment and an oppressive education system for children.The perception of intensifying political bickering is also said to have played a part. Admittedly, the way the city is evolving is worrying. There appears to be more confrontations than co-operation; the performance of the new government and legislature still leaves a lot to be desired. Officials are facing growing difficulties in securing support from Legco and the public. There are fears our core values and freedoms are eroding. There is, indeed, a growing sense of frustration and helplessness; and a big question weighs heavily on some people’s minds – is this the Hong Kong we used to know?It remains unclear whether another exodus is looming. Although we are nowhere near the gloom and doom forecast in the run-up to the handover, analysts say the outflow this time could be due to a perception the social and political environment is deteriorating rather than mere uncertainty. If so, the government has every reason to be concerned. Politicians also have a responsibility to ensure Hong Kong remains a good place to live. The public looks forward to their constructive suggestions rather than stunts and rhetoric.存倉

TSX/NYSE/PSE: MFC SEHK:945?WATERLOO, ON, Sept.self storage 6, 2013 /CNW/ - Manulife Financial is the first Canadian company to be issued a license to administer federal Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs), a new financial solution which many Canadians want and need.The company was issued its license to be a PRPP administrator by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI).In December 2012, the Government of Canada finalized the Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPP) Act regulations, marking the creation of a brand-new workplace retirement savings plan - and an innovative opportunity for Canadians who currently do not have access to a retirement savings vehicle through their employer.The OSFI approval is the first step in enabling Manulife Financial to introduce its new and easily-administered PRPP aimed at helping more Canadians to save for their future."The one thing employers, employees, government officials and industry experts agree on when it comes to our retirement savings system is that many Canadians are not saving enough," said Sue Reibel, Senior Vice President, Group Benefits and Retirement Solutions at Manulife. "As a leader in providing group retirement solutions to Canadian business, Manulife is committed to helping to close that gap. PRPPs have been designed to make it simple and easy for Canadian small businesses to provide a cost effective retirement savings plan to their employees.""I congratulate Manulife on being the first out of the gate to receive official approval to administer PRPPs," said Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State for Finance. He added, "Our government encourages those provinces that haven't tabled PRPP legislation to do so quickly. All Canadians should be able to take advantage of this new and innovative low-cost savings option. PRPPs will help address a gap in private savings and leave more money in the pockets of savers."Important first step Once final registration of Manulife Financial's PRPP product is received from OSFI and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the product can be offered to federally-regulated businesses across Can迷你倉da, and to any business or self-employed individuals within the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Employees of businesses in the Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are also eligible to participate in a PRPP, even if their employer has not yet implemented a formal plan. The provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta have also passed their own Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPP) Act. The next step for these provinces will be to develop the regulations necessary for the legislation to be implemented. Once other provinces release their own PRPP legislation, Manulife will offer plans to their residents, businesses and self-employed individuals."Today's approval marks an important first step in enabling many more businesses to help their employees put money away for their retirement," added Ms. Reibel.? "We are hopeful that the federal government's efforts will serve as a model for all provinces to move forward with their own PRPP legislation, in an effort to provide more Canadians with access to workplace retirement savings plans."About Manulife Financial Manulife Financial is a leading Canada-based financial services group with principal operations in Asia, Canada and the United States.

Government watchdog will look into claims of influence-peddling in DPP lawmaker’s caseTaiwanese Justice Minister Tseng Yung-fu resigned last night after internal investigators accused him of using his influence to quash criminal action against a prominent opposition legislator.迷你倉The special investigation division under the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office said in a news conference that Tseng and the head of the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office, Chen Shou-huang, intervened to stop prosecutors from appealing against a not guilty verdict in a breach-of-trust case gainst Democratic Progressive Party lawmaker Ker Chien-ming.Even though no money or bribery was involved, investigators still viewed the alleged act as improper, and said the irregularities should be subject to impeachment and disciplinary action by the authorities.“For this we have referred the case to the Control Yuan” to see if Tseng should be impeached, said Yang Jung-tsung, a spokesman of the division.The Control Yuan is the island’s top government watchdog responsible for censuring or impeaching senior government officials. Neit文件倉er Tseng nor Chen would be charged with bribery nor other crimes because they did not receive any financial rewards, the investigators said, adding that Wang and Ker as legislators also enjoy immunity for statements they make.Prosecutors did not file any appeal against Ker’s not guility verdict.As a member of the prosecution authorities, Yang said the division had asked the Justice Ministry’s prosecutor evaluation committee to see if Chen’s alleged actions required a disciplinary response.The investigators said that wiretaps on Ker’s phone in a separate judicial case in June revealed that Ker sought help from Chen and Tseng through legislature speaker Wang Jin-pyng. Tseng and Chen yesterday sternly denied the allegations, while Wang was not available for comment. Tseng later offered his resignation in a meeting with Premier Jiang Yi-huah, who accepted his request in a bid to facilitate further probe in the case, the cabinet said in a statement.The allegations have dealt a blow to both the administration of President Ma Ying-jeou and the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party.存倉
