作者：丁華乾武隆縣平橋鎮群�自發投工投勞為渠道清淤武隆，存倉是蜚聲中外的國家級旅遊大縣。它的美似乎都與水有關，如芙蓉江，綠如翡翠、倒映藍天；仙女山雪，銀裝素裹、融冰化水；烏江畫廊，水中有畫、畫中有水；高峽平湖，碧波萬頃、水波瀲灩……可以說，武隆之美，既離不開山、峽、洞、樹、草，也離不開江、瀑、泉、雪、水。正是水之清澈、水之碧藍、水之溫柔、水之深邃，才讓山有大氣、江有靈氣、地有瑞氣、人有生氣。水給了武隆旅遊以魅力、以神韻，水給了武隆人以思想、以創意。然而，水給予武隆，又是吝嗇的。高山深谷、喀斯特地貌，呈現大大小小的“漏斗”，讓水滲進岩層、潛進地縫、流入暗河，讓武隆人有水難聚、有源難尋、有河難豐。千百年來，武隆人的貧乏很大程度在於水資源的貧乏。興修水利、廣聚水源，就成為武隆人世代的渴盼，成為惠及武隆百姓的一項民生工程。做好找水、蓄水、保水、治水這篇大文章，事關武隆的民生、發展和旅遊，也檢驗了武隆縣委、縣政府的執政能力和全心全意為人民服務的忠誠度。“水通則百業興，水豐則城鄉活”。水是生命之源。抓水，則抓住了本、抓住了源。這些年來，一屆屆武隆縣委、縣政府視水利為“生命線”，傳承“大禹治水”的精神，把“治水”當做民生“頭等大事”來抓，充分利用好國家和重慶市關於“三農”和發展水利的優惠政策，圍繞“旅遊富民、工業強縣”的戰略，加快水利基礎建設進度；同時，突破山區“水瓶頸”，解決居民飲水難，為山區群�掘井蓄水、淨水引水，形成了惠民富農的水利發展格局，為新農村建設奠定了堅實基礎。改變水資源貧乏現狀，關鍵要有一支忠誠為民、作風過硬、艱苦奮鬥的水利建設、管理隊伍。這些年來，武隆水務人心系發展、情系百姓，制定了科學的找水、保水方案，深入山區、訪貧問苦，查水源、找准水脈、開源節流，實施了大投入、大開發的水利建設計劃。“十一五”期間，武隆縣各類水利項目建設完成投資13.9億元，創歷史新高。“十二五”期間正高起點、高標準、高強度攻堅推進水利建設，計劃完成水利投資62億元以上，掀起了新一輪的儲存利建設高潮，勢在結束“小水利———小打小鬧”的歷史，開創武隆發展新局面。如今，武隆大型水庫發揮了蓄水、保水的主體功能；中小型水庫星羅棋布、苑若明珠、晶瑩剔透；自來水家家入戶、歡快流淌……基本形成了全覆蓋、立體化、多層面的山區水利新格局。這一格局的形成，徹底改寫了武隆缺水少源的歷史，為實現武隆超常規發展，建成區域中心城市、做強中國旅遊大縣提供了可能，提升了武隆人的幸福指數。古往今來，“治水”都是驚天地、泣鬼神的大事，都是改天換地的壯舉。它是人類運用智慧和汗水，向大自然索取的過程，是人與天鬥、與地鬥、改變宿命的過程。大禹治水，採用了“治水須順水性，水性就下，導之入海。高處就鑿通，低處就疏導”的治水思想，變堵而疏，疏通河道，拓寬峽口，讓洪水能更快的通過，讓咆哮的洪水馴服聽話、造福于民。他“三過家門而不入”，至今傳為水利史上的佳話。李冰“掘離堆，鑿鹽井，不僅嘉惠蜀人，實為中國兩千年前卓越之工程技術專家。”（郭沫若語）都江堰至今還在為�生輸送汩汩清流，帶來風調雨順，水土滋潤。有了它，旱澇無常的四川平原成了天府之國，每當我們民族有了重大災難，天府之國總是沉著地提供庇護和濡養。因此，可以毫不誇張地說，它永久性地灌溉了中華民族。“武隆治水”，與大禹治水、李冰父子治水、紅旗渠修鑿，雖不可同日而語，但意義也不可小視。隨著社會的進步，水利事業的外延不斷擴大，包括防洪、排澇、灌溉和城鄉供水的需要，都屬於“大水利”範疇。在艱難的施工條件下，武隆水利建設者們奮戰于高山深谷、懸崖絕壁，逢山鑿洞、遇溝架橋，砌石壘堰、固基築堤、截流成庫，出現了許多可歌可泣的感人事跡。它探索了一條在山區興修水利、保水蓄水的新路子，書寫了山區蓄水、保水、用水的現代奇跡，推動了武隆由傳統農業向現代農業的轉型，為武隆高山、深洞、峽谷、雪景特色旅遊品牌融入了靈性，彰顯了武隆人氣壯山河、改天換地的豪邁氣概，為地質條件複雜的西部山區“治水”豎立了標杆。可以相信，“武隆治水”必將彪柄于史冊！（作者系《重慶日報》首席評論員）迷你倉

Source: The Columbian, Vancouver, Wash.迷你倉最平Jan. 05--The turning of the calendar page from Dec. 31 to Jan. 1 is no different from any other moment. Yet many of us use that moment, and the days that border it, as a time of serious personal reflection that sometimes leads to positive change.Because the start of the new year arrives just after the shortest day of the year, the period of reflection seems hard-wired biologically as a way to cope with the long nights and short days of winter. The gradual expansion of daylight that brings the earth's awakening signals a time for renewal of mind, body, and spirit. Many people launch diets or sign up for gym memberships to improve their health, and they give more generously. Businesses and nonprofit groups tap into those instincts by selling diet plans and gym memberships, and offering an opportunity to make tax-deductible charitable donations.In the spirit of the season, The Columbian decided to ask some local business leaders about their resolutions for the new year. We asked Kelly Parker, president and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, to suggest names, and we followed her recommendations to recruit participants in this admittedly random exercise.The six people who responded offered resolutions for their personal lives and for their businesses. And in recognition of the many divisive community conflicts in 2013 over transportation, oil transport and political priorities, we asked these leaders what their wish would be for our community in 2014. Their answers, edited for clarity and brevity, are offered inside this section.A happy new year to all!Ben HoskinsBob Hoskins is a Vancouver franchise partner of 1-800-GOT-JUNK and You Move Me.--Personal ResolutionSummer is our busy season for moving and junk removal, but this summer we are going to take a two-week road trip to visit friends and family. Our daughter starts kindergarten in September so our previous system of traveling in the fall isn't going to work anymore.--Business ResolutionIn 2014, You Move Me is resolving to bring all our clients a cup of coffee or tea the morning of their move. We try to make the process of moving as pleasant as possible -- almost as if your friends were helping out. When people move they've often packed their coffeemaker and a friend would offer to bring them coffee, so in 2014 we will as well!--Community WishI hope that in 2014 community leaders focus on opportunities for improvement in areas of agreement or shared goals. Small improvements compound. I hope we continue to experiment and tweak with the goal of continually becoming more efficient and effective in how we allow the economy to grow, how we educate our children, and how we help our most vulnerable. Also, if I never have to hear the word "bridge" -- from either supporters or opponents -- that will be OK.Erika DonaldsonErika Donaldson is a digital marketing consultant at Fringe Media Web Design in Vancouver.--Personal ResolutionOur New Year's resolution is to further our collaborative, positive work environment for all employees. This will begin with furnishing our brand new office in downtown Vancouver. We are excited to now be fully immersed in all that Vancouver has to offer, and we look forward to adding our Fringe charm to the downtown area. We will also accomplish this by hosting networking events where we can all get together and strengthen the unity that is already flourishing within this area.--Business ResolutionWe are ready and excited to be an active part of our Vancouver community. We plan on strengthening our alliances with our business partners which include WSU Vancouver, the Greater Vancouver Chamber, the Portland Business Alliance and many others. We are going to make it a point to educate local small businesses about the importance of digital marketing and how to engage in successful marketing campaigns. We will give to charity and do everything we can to help growth and awareness of the importance of technology in our current society. We will grow our business and establish our brand in Vancouver and Portland. We will also help nonprofits, such as the Sunshine Division in Portland, strengthen their digital presence through targeted volunteer work.--Community WishOur wish is for everyone to pay it forward. We encourage everyone to go out of their way to do something nice for a stranger each and every opportunity they get. By doing this, we can make Vancouver into the perfect place we all would like it to be.Jim WestJim West is a real estate broker at Coldwell Banker Commercial, Jenkins & Associates in Vancouver.--Personal ResolutionSeveral factors influence my thinking for a 2014 resolution.1. I'll turn 60.2. Last year I became a grandparent for the first time.3. Last July I was in an accident with a car while riding a bicycle. (My good fortune -- I had minimal injuries.)It seems I'm entering a new stage of life, and I realize none of us know how long we have. So I have outlined a series of activities to make sure I am spending more time and reaffirming and strengthening my relationships and time with my wife, Betsy, our kids and granddaughter.--Business ResolutionI am starting my sixth year in commercial real estate. I've had some successes and feel I am on the right track to continue to grow. Entering this industry in late 2008-2009 was a bit frightening and there were times I wondered if I'd made a good choice.Of course for 2014 I have some marketing and networking plans for creating new opportunities and relationships with prospective clients. However, one area I want to significantly improve in my business is communications with, and appreciation for, the client base I've developed and served these first five years. I've created a simple action plan to raise m迷你倉 game in that arena.--Community WishI attempt to stay plugged into the activities of our community in a number of ways. In non-profits or service clubs I find people of all political persuasions working together with no bickering, sniping, or nitpicking. Yet somehow that often seems to dissolve when we get to the political arena. I had some experience running for office in 2012, and speak with many folks in both parties regularly, and I find there are many subjects you can't even have a discussion about. The real problem with all that is that we aren't actually dealing with the long-term issues that are the most important.So my wish would be that Clark County becomes a community that changes that trend. Listen more -- understand what drives peoples' actions and look for common ground.Kim CapelotoKim Capeloto is executive vice president of Vancouver-based Riverview Community Bank.--Personal ResolutionI am hoping to be able to focus on keeping a balance between my "personal life" and my "professional/community life." That line can get blurred easily and I am lucky enough to have an amazingly supportive (and patient) wife and family that have always backed me. Spending even more time with my wife and children as we all continue to "grow up" is my main focus. This does not mean a reduction in community outreach. It simply means continued effort to keep the balance.--Business ResolutionRiverview celebrated its 90th anniversary this past year. We asked many of our employees, clients and our board what they felt was missing from banking these days. Frankly we expected to hear that we needed more technology solutions or more locations, or ...What we heard loud and clear was that people want banking to be more fun! So that is our resolution for 2014 ... to put more fun in banking. We are not 100 percent sure how we'll do that, but we are fairly sure that it has something to do with money!--Community WishMy wish for our community is that we sincerely all work toward making this a better place to live, work and raise a family. That will mean that not all of us can get exactly what we want all the time, but that when decisions are made and leaders are picked and causes are identified and needs are uncovered, that we set aside our personal agendas and REALLY do what is in the best interest of our communities and their citizens.Donald RussoDonald Russo is an real estate attorney in the Vancouver office of regional law firm Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt.--Personal ResolutionThat all of my family and friends stay healthy during the coming year, for when you have your health, you have virtually everything.--Business ResolutionI hope that our law firm, Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt, and in particular the Vancouver office, continues to grow its business and that every attorney in the office continues to stay involved in helping to make our community a better place to live.--Community WishThat our local (and state) leaders choose to guide our community forward with a positive vision, to place the needs of our citizens, including the unemployed and the homeless, ahead of personal agendas, and to take positive nonpartisan action to help grow our local economy.My New Year's wish for our global community: as Eleanor Roosevelt wrote: "When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?"Veronika "Ronnie" NoizeVeronika "Ronnie" Noize is the founder of the DIY Marketing Center in Vancouver.--Personal ResolutionWhile appreciating the idea of resolutions, I find that for me, making a commitment is far more powerful. A resolution is often nothing more than a good idea that I want to do, but a commitment is what I am honor-bound to do.My personal commitment for 2014 is to enjoy 365 days of gratitude. I have done this before, and it had a profoundly positive effect on my life, so it has become my top commitment for the new year. The way it works is quite simple: Every morning when I wake up, I write down 10 things for which I am grateful in a small notebook, which is kept in my bedside table. The only rule is that nothing on the list may be repeated within seven days. The process is simple, fast, and starts my day with a smile on my face, and gratitude in my heart. It reminds me how very lucky I am, and, even in the face of fear or tragedy, how much good there is in my life to appreciate.--Business ResolutionFor 2014, I am committed to perfecting the systems in my business. About a year or so ago I received a book in the mail from Sam Carpenter, the author of "Work the System." The book dazzled me because of the absolute clarity with which it presented one of the key issues for small-business owners -- the swirling confusion and overwhelming nature of a business when one is a solo entrepreneur. The solution to this confusion is creating systems that provide the structure to achieve strategic objectives (and my entrepreneurial dreams!).One of my goals is to expand this business to become its own entity, and not just something that I do from 9 to 5; to make it a "real" business that can be duplicated in other markets and help millions of people requires a systematic approach that others can follow to achieve the same results. 2014 is that year for me.--Community WishMy wish for our community in 2014 is full prosperity, based on this definition from Wikipedia: "Prosperity is the state of flourishing, thriving, good fortune and/or successful social status. Prosperity often encompasses wealth but also includes other factors which can be independent of wealth to varying degrees, such as happiness and health."Copyright: ___ (c)2014 The Columbian (Vancouver, Wash.)

Source: Tulsa World, Okla.迷你倉Jan. 05--When Mike Peace would blow out a reed on his harmonica, he would usually just toss the whole thing.The rest of the 19 reeds would usually work fine, but hitting a bad reed when Peace was on stage could ruin a song."I figured out that was stupid because those things had gotten expensive," Peace said.So he opened it up. With help from some colleagues and the Internet, Peace pieced the instrument back together and fixed his instrument, good as new. And cheaper than buying a new one.With that, Peace, 68, started repairing his friends' harmonicas and then harmonicas from professional musicians across the country. Peace, of Tulsa, became one of the few people in the country who repairs and builds custom harmonicas.What some see as a kids' toy, Peace sees as a delicate instrument that is essential in folk and blues music. It's what got Peace interested in the first place."Anybody can play the harmonica. That's the reason it's always been considered a kid's toy," Peace said. "A kid can play it and make noise with it. But it's a difficult instrument to play well, like a lot of instruments."He played in several bands in the '70s and '80, running in the same circles as Tulsa musicians such as J.J. Cale, David Teegarden and Jimmy "Junior" Markham. Now as a harmonica repair guy, many see his services as invaluable."He's very good at what he's doing," Markham said. "It's great to see somebody take that on. It's a lot of patience and a lot of work."But when Peace first picked up the instrument, it was more of a prop than a future.Peace was 22 in the Army in Alabama in 1968 when he started to pick up on guitar techniques. It was the folk music of the era that really connected with him."I thought I wanted to be Bob Dylan -- I got a harmonica with a rack around my neck," Peace said. "The first time I ever heard Bob Dylan I was a freshman in college, and that was the beginning of the civil rights movement. Some of his lyrics just blew me away. I thought that was really cool."The harmonica ended up getting in the way more than enhancing the sound. He focused on his guitar work but still didn't see it as a way of life. So after the Army, he found and kept a day job.Peace settled in Tulsa and was one of the first people in the area to sell the large satellite dishes that were so popular in the 1980s."I've always been an experimenter," Peace said. "I've always liked something different."One of Peace's bands was The Dinosaurs, which had two guitar players already in the band. Peace decided to revisit the harmonica to see what it could bring to the group.It turns out, a lot. Harmonicas work by the player blowing out or sucking in air through holes on the front of the instrument. The air passes over small reeds that vibrate to make a sound. The length and width of the reed determines its pitch.Simple enough. But hidden in those reeds are more notes. One harmonica can't play a full scale. It takes practice to find those hidden notes."I have to bend that on the draw, and I do that with technique," Peace said. "That real bluesy sound, thatself storages how you get that: by bending the notes."That's easier said than done, though. Peace's best advice to bending a note is practice, knowing the instrument. Once it's achieved, it takes the small metal instrument from a toy to a tool, a sound that makes a rich contribution to blues, folk, rock or any genre if played right.But Peace can help players get to that point of bending notes. It's all in the guts of the instrument, which he discovered after repairing and building his own harmonicas."If you modify these and make them more airtight, it's a whole lot easier to get that," Peace said. "I equate that to buying a cheap guitar with the strings high up off the neck or having a nice guitar with nice low action to hit the notes and bend the notes."Peace uses a tiny scraper and a huge magnifying glass to carefully scratch the brass innards of a harmonica. Each scrape changes the delicate instrument's sound, so one too many could ruin that reed. It takes some trial and error, but using a tuner, Peace can find the sweet spot.For those who play professionally like Markham, Peace's work makes the difference."He can rebuild them and/or hot rod them. It's not your everyday normal specs," Markham said. "In the hands of someone that does play professionally, there's a difference. To the everyday ear, it probably wouldn't be noticeable."Now that he's retired, Peace has a lot more time for the harmonicas. Peace's services have been used by harmonica players across the country. He's had work from players in Chicago, Alabama, Arkansas and locally, including jazz and blues singer Cindy Cain.Peace still enjoys playing the instrument whenever he can. He regularly attends the Route 66 Harmonica Club meetings in Tulsa, which includes a monthly jam session with several area harmonica players. His workshop behind his house doubles as a professional recording studio where several have made albums, including Tulsa blues guitarist Little Joe McLerran.He also has been a part of the Harmonica Summit, a day of workshops and lessons for all ages to learn the ins and outs of the instrument as well as concerts that stretch into the night with several area bands and harmonica players. The fifth year of the summit is coming up March 1 at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame, Peace said. It's open to anyone interested in playing or learning about the instrument or music, all experience levels welcome.With a resurgence of the folk music genre and blues' perpetual presence, Peace said he sees more people looking at the kids toy a little differently."If me and some friends go to a jam session and there's umpteen guitar players coming up and jamming, to get people's attention, you whip out a harmonica and start playing," Peace said. "It brings another element to it. It's not the same old same old. If it's done right and done well -- or even if its done badly -- you get people's attention."Jerry Wofford 918-581-8346jerry.wofford@tulsaworld.comCopyright: ___ (c)2014 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)

○記者黃夢佳報道陳程程攝影新報訊根據春運火車票預售期，mini storage今天起可購買元月25日的車票，也是春節前一周出行最集中的車票。記者昨日瞭解到，20至24日長途熱門方向如云貴川等地的車票基本告罄，並且出一天票便以“秒殺”的速度賣光。據悉，本周下半周短途方向車票也將趨緊，建議購票的市民提早計劃，避開高峰。長途熱門方向車票被“秒殺”根據預售期安排，昨日互聯網和電話開賣1月24日的火車票。記者查詢上海-成都K696次火車的網絡售票情況，得知僅開始搶票40秒，就只剩下300多張票；2分鐘後火車票基本全部售出。下午查詢時，僅剩下2張“回籠”的硬臥，包括無座票在內全部賣光。而成都方向所有列車，除了L256和K351分別有1張無座票外，全部售罄。經過查詢，記者還發現往哈爾濱、西安、長沙等熱門長途方向線路的高鐵動車票十分緊俏。昨日11時08分，系統顯示，上海虹橋開往哈爾濱西的G1204列車二等座已售完，特等座、一等座也銷售一空；到下午15時30分只剩下1張特等座，其餘全部賣空。而上海開往西安方向的各趟列車，包括D306從20日至24日幾乎全部售罄；上海開往長沙的三趟動車票也都售完。“根據預售期，目前已經賣到春節前一周了，這也是春運出行最集中的時期。”鐵路上海站相關人士告訴記者，尤其是長途方向，要趕在除夕前到家吃年夜飯的，必須在這一周內上路。因此上述熱門方向列車除了偶爾有取消訂單退回的車票外，基本上是“賣一天賣完一天”。因開通了多趟高鐵，前往沈陽、大連等方向的車票較往年寬裕不少，高鐵尚有足量余票，但快速、特快列車的臥鋪票多已售完。此外，記者登錄12306儲存詢後，還發現預售期為25天的臨客經過5天的“挑揀”之後，大多已僅剩“無座”；而前往緊俏方向的圖定列車(指固定日常開行的列車)一經放出，便被很快“搶”光。“動態驗證碼”招批評後變臉由於旅客集中搶購，12306網站這幾天開始不太“給力”，無論是登錄還是查詢和購票，都出現明顯卡頓，影響時間在30秒以上。比如登錄時，記者在輸入賬號密碼和驗證碼後，顯示“網絡繁忙，稍後再試”的提示，好不容易點擊登錄後，系統仍出現明顯的延遲。12306相關負責人近日也表示，由於集中訪問人數過多，網站可能會出現短時擁堵現象，不過相比去年已有極大改善。今年春運售票開始以來，12306網站運行基本正常。截至上周六，春運火車票通過12306網站售出4000多萬張。記者同時發現，從之前彩色動態碼到後來掃描統一色碼，12306近日又將動態驗證碼更換為增加了底紋或干擾線的新版靜態彩色驗證碼，一定程度傷降低了旅客的識別難度，同時也保持了對自動識別軟件的有效防控。假身份證購票不能退換針對12306網站存在無法識別身份證信息真偽的漏洞，近日出現“黃牛”利用虛假身份證號購票囤票找到買家後再退票回購轉賣的說法。鐵路部門指出，12306網站實行購票實名制，如使用假身份證號購買車票，在車站窗口、鐵路客票代售點、自動售取票機等均不能辦理換票、退票手續；對通過12306網站退回的車票，12306網站均採取計算機隨機處理的方式進行處理，系統會根據距離車票開車時間的遠近，在確保每一張車票都有充足時間再次售出的前提下，自動隨機地將車票再次放出。鐵路部門提醒旅客，不要從票販手中購票，以免上當受騙。迷你倉

A5~A16 改革元年　　在國務院發展研究中心研究員吳敬璉看來，迷你倉中國目前的經濟體制仍然是一種半統制、半市場的混合體制。在這種體制下，中國在實現高速增長的同時，各種矛盾也逐漸積累。特別是在多方面的改革出現停滯甚至倒退的情況下，“現在各種矛盾已經積累到一個臨界點。”　　顯然，如果不能建立現代國家和市場經濟條件下的政府，不但經濟不可能平穩發展，而且難以擺脫民權不彰、規則扭曲、秩序紊亂、官民關係緊張的狀態。再加上國際形勢的變化，一些激進主張開始萌動，如果某些梟雄式的人物利用這種情勢，用“打土豪、分田地”一類極端“革命”的口號誤導大�，就可能發生“進化受到壅塞時的潰決”（顧准語），危及甚至中斷中國的現代化進程。　　最近30年，中國在正確的方向上有了歷史性進步，但是改革仍未過大關，未來的道路也不會平坦。吳敬璉說：“在繼續完成市場經濟改革任務的同時，積極而慎重地推進政治改革，既是未來中國改革的主題，也關係到中華民族的興亡和每個公民的根本利益，在這樣的問題上，容不得有半點猶疑。只有打破阻力，奮力過關，才能實現幾代中國人的夢想，把中國建設成為一個富裕、民主、文明的現代國家。”B1~B8 財富的戰爭　　隨著中國金融管制的放鬆、金融混業化經營和利率市場化的推進，金融脫媒將會加速，各種各樣的財富管理機構和各種期限結構的金融理財產品將會湧現，中國百萬億存款將面臨著期限轉換和信用轉換，財富管理大幕將會正式拉開。　　但儲蓄轉移、金融脫媒是有先後順序的，比如活期存款會最先轉換為貨幣市場類和固定收益類的理財產品，隨著市場風險意識的培育，各類期限的存款會逐漸轉向相對高收益的中長期產品，一般銀行理財產品吸納和提供的都是短期資金，很難發行貨幣市場之外的產品，而公募基金、券商、信托等又可以提供中長期投資的產品，保險則可以提供更長期限的產品，理論上各類金融機構都有優勢可言，完全可以差異化競爭，但隨著金融混業化的發展，資金結構差異化配置將很有可能在同一家機構展開，單一類的行業優勢就變得不明顯，將會迫使銀行、保險、信托、基金等金融機構互相滲透、相互介入，金融業的競爭格局也將會從幾類金融機構之間的火拼演化至金融控股集團之間的鬥爭。C1~C8 區域新動力　　2014年,被視為全面深化改革元年，也是中國新型城鎮化元年。2014年乃至今後五六年時間文件倉中國區域經濟發展的新動力在哪裡？在於進一步深化改革開放所釋放出來的動力。　　中國新型城鎮化涉及到一系列的體制機制的改革，包括戶籍、土地、投融資、行政、社保等等。只有逐步破除這些領域內的一些阻礙，才能真正推動新型城鎮化的發展。而只有推進新型城鎮化建設，才能推動中國大中小城市協調發展，推動中國“兩橫三縱”城市群的發展壯大。在這“兩橫三縱”城市群中，其中長江經濟帶和絲綢之路經濟帶，則是兩大重點，也將形成中國經濟增長新的增長極。D1~D16 市場的力量　　當我們認真研究什麼是市場的力量，市場能發揮什麼樣的力量時，我們就會發現，給市場的力量下一個準確的定義要比人們想象的困難得多。臨近年底，盡管這一年經濟形勢起伏不定，但人們還是希望這一年能在平穩中收官。　　可2013年12月20日銀行間市場突然出現一輪利率沖高，質押式回購隔夜升至9.9%，開盤利率3.63%，暴漲627個基點；14天期利率沖上12%。“錢荒”一詞再次出現。而在同年6月，中國銀行間市場隔夜拆借利率一路狂飆，最高瞬間沖至30%，平均在13%上下,中國錢荒事件轟動中外。E1~E8 創新與創業之美　　大企業雖然也有創新舉動，但終究是“粗線條”的。本期專題中，我們也關注了一些處於行業巨變中的領軍企業，比如萬達、五糧液、學大等在2013年都遭遇了前所未有的困境，他們也試圖通過內部變革和業務創新來走出低谷，但殘酷的現實卻是：“船大掉頭難”，變革的成本和風險巨大，充其量只是改良而已。　　為什麼大企業沒有辦法完成創新？富士康原CEO程天縱的分析不無道理：大企業承受著來自股東更大的壓力，每年必須有高速的增長，因為基數大，即使有5%、10%的增長，也是不得了的數字，所以大企業只能關注大�市場；同時，大企業在大�市場上碰到的都是強力的競爭對手，創新的機會更加渺茫。在他看來，真正的創新多來自長尾市場，大企業無法涉足這一市場，這就給中小企業在小�市場上造就了“彎道超車”的機會。F1~F8 彷徨與改變　　毫無疑問，中國的社會與文化正經歷著有史以來最大的碰撞、爭執與改變。在實現“中國夢”的宏大語境下，如何解讀每一個現實與夢想的差距，就成了讓學者們乃至全體國民為之頭疼的命題。2013年，中國在這種彷徨的情緒中度過，然而改變，不可阻止的改變，卻已經落在了我們的身邊，我們的身上。存倉

日前，迷你倉《2013年度中國網上零售市場形勢分析報告》在2013中國網上零售年會上發佈。數據顯示，2013年上半年中國網上零售市場交易規模達到7542億元，同比增長47.3%，預計2013年將突破1.8萬億元。根據預測，2013年中國社會消費品零售總額為24萬億元，預計2013年中國網上零售交易總額占社會消費品零售總額的7.7%。預計占比達到7.7%，使得2013年中國電子商務行業呈現一片繁榮景象，這一年中，淘寶和天貓的350億元銷售額，讓電商老大阿里巴巴站穩腳跟；京東猛推POP平台，讓大家看到了盈利希望；蘇寧不僅將商業帶上雲端，還玩兒起基金、做起金融，並將開出銀行；騰訊則攜微信利器，殺入移動購物這一新興市場。同時，手機端支付功能的開�，也顯示了含有"社交"概念的移動互聯網的高增長潛力。去年電商巨頭們在移動端的布局也如火如荼地展開。網易旗下的"易信"和阿里巴巴旗下的"來往"紛紛以"免費流量"吸引用戶。去年8月，微信推出的5.0新版本中新增了支付功能，並與易迅網全面接入，已全面實現微信下單、支付閉環，"雙11"當日斬獲1號店、易迅等電商超過10%的下單量。移動IM已經成為不可小覷的移動電商入口。回首2013年，電商移動化顯然成了中國電子商務行業這一年的發展趨勢。互聯網商業評論人金錯刀認為，移動互聯網在全面深入地滲透進我們的生活，我們幾乎已經可以用手機找到任何我們所需的服務，顯然，移動電商終將取代傳統電商。阿里"造節"意在移動化淘寶天貓"雙11"單日350.19億元的交易數據，令行業內外為之側目。而更惹人注意的是，"雙11"當日，手機淘寶的單日用戶使用次數1.27億次，成交金額達到53.5億元，與去年"雙11"相比增長了457.3%；據騰訊電商透露的數據，"雙11"全天，易迅微信賣場下單量突破8萬單占易迅全站訂單總量的13%；在京東"雙11"當天680萬訂單中，移動端訂單量占比15%，單日引入訂單量達到去年的6.4倍，交易額的絕對值增長優異。面對去年"雙11"時天貓網購成交額創下的350.19億元驚人數據，馬雲的回應是"不關心數字"。在傳統電商模式已死的壓力倒逼下，350.19億元的成交額數據，確實已經不是馬雲最關心的事。他最關心的是轉型--阿里系電商的移動化、社交化轉型。正是基於此，已鮮少露面的馬雲卻一次次激動萬分地為"來往"站台，目標就是對抗微信電商模式的挑戰。正是轉型的戰略目標下，記者注意到一個細節："雙12"時，阿里系的唱戲主角淘寶，為了吸引用戶向移動平台轉型，竟砸下3600萬元把"雙12"當天開獎的雙色球所有彩票組合買斷，作為紅包發給消費者，但前提是彩票只能從淘寶手機客戶端領取。從這個細節上看，"雙12"則成了阿里系電商移動化轉型的營銷窗口。據瞭解，"雙12"當天，通過手機淘寶客戶端實現成交的賣家為145萬，占總成交賣家的55%，而平日手機淘寶支付賣家約為80萬左右，"雙12"當天無線成交增長了81%。在支付寶成交筆數方面，今年"雙12"支付寶無線成交筆數達到了整體交易筆數的23%，相比于去年手機淘寶支付寶成交筆數只占全網的6.8%，這一增速更是驚人。而對於此馬雲表示，"造節"的出現是新經濟、新商業模式與傳統商業模式的大戰，他說："要讓所有製造業貿易商們知道，今天形勢變了"。騰訊掀起"微信效應""微信支付1分錢預約小米3"、"1分錢開通愛奇藝會員"……隨著電商的助推，"微信價"成為最近幾個月來最火熱的詞匯。2013年8月，易迅網率先接入微信支付。2013年10月，大�點評在移動端接入微信支付。2013年11月，愛奇藝接入微信支付，當當網在PC端、移動客戶端以及當當電子書APP等項目中也全方位接入微信支付。11月，小米與微信合作在微信上預售小米手mini storage，試水移動電商，微信用戶可專享"微信價"，將"微信價"抬到炙手可熱的地步。"當企業願意主動為微信推出'微信價'，其背後的意義其實是商家對這種模式的認可，也說明瞭微信的電商潛力和平台價值。"《商業價值》主編張鵬認為，微信為電商企業提供了一個建立用戶連接，並提供長期服務能力的全新系統，"微信價"在本質上可以理解為企業在"付費鼓勵用戶主動建立連接"。"雙12"當天，騰訊電商旗下易迅網宣佈將其運營的微信"精選商品"正式升級。全新的"微信精選商品"在原有的基礎上新增了"一日一品"、"品牌特賣"、"數碼極客"、"非吃不可"、"樂活家居"、"寶貝計劃"等六個頻道，按照不同購物主題進行了商品品類的豐富，意味著其購物平台再次從易迅網向微信移動平台轉移。在電商追趕移動化大潮的背景下，傳統電商爭先恐後搭船微信。目前，微信已經向大�點評、蘑菇街、當當網開放了支付接口，同時將向更多電商開放，引入更多應用場景。"隨著微信用戶規模的進一步擴大，微信支付便捷的操作將使它如同拍照、GPS定位一樣，成為手機的一項基礎能力和最為普及的手機端支付方式"。互聯網實驗室副總裁張靜向記者表示，隨著移動支付在人們生活服務領域的覆蓋面越來越深，以微信支付為代表的移動支付也不應該只是一個工具，而是一種更有效觸達用戶和提供服務的平台。"微信支付不是一個純粹的支付工具，它是為移動支付提供的一套完整的解決方案"，微信產品部助理總經理曾鳴接受記者採訪時表示，支付如果作為一個工具，發展到最後，一定與其他同類產品比較雷同。所以微信的思路是，在工具能力基礎上，整合微信的優勢，比如微信在移動端的用戶基礎能力、社交能力和開放能力，形成一種更有效觸達用戶和提供服務的平台。曾鳴表示，"與傳統的電商服務相比，微信多了四大能力，即微信賬號登錄、微信支付購買、微信通知互動、基於SNS的消費者主動傳播分享，我們一直在思考和探索，在電商與微信支付之間如何形成一個良好的閉環"，他說，"這四大能力為商業場景在移動端閉環提供了一種全新的解決方案"。移動化激起轉型浪潮無論是阿里的"雙12"戰略還是騰訊的"微信價"戰略都證明瞭，經過一年的培養，用戶的交易習慣正在向移動端快速轉移，移動端將替代PC端成為用戶接觸電商企業的"主屏幕"，已經是業界公認的趨勢之一。中國電子商務研究中心助理分析師吳立品表示，2013年，無論是世界範圍，還是在國內，大多數的傳統互聯網業務都提供了移動端的服務，傳統互聯網用戶消費習慣的日益移動化，移動電商正在瘋狂的崛起成為必然。數據顯示，2012年中國移動電子商務市場交易規模達到965億元，同比增135%；去年隨著盤子增大，增幅雖然有所趨緩，但移動電商增速依然遠高于整個B2C領域。天貓、京東、易迅等主流B2C網站提供的信息顯示，目前移動端交易額或訂單量占網站整體比例多在20%-30%之間，與此同時，大�點評等一部分與線下企業關係密切的O2O電商，移動端使用率占比早已超過PC端。有業內人士坦言，拿到移動互聯網的"門票"已經成為各大電商都在努力完成的任務。如此讓其他電商企業眼紅的巨大交易額數據的背後，是互聯網創新轉型驅動下的產業革命。京東商城CEO劉強東也忙碌在轉型的路上，在電商格局初定中卡住一個不錯的位置後，2013年年初定下"休養生息"戰略，而後電商業務步入"以休待戰"期，而劉強東則將工作重點轉向京東的金融與數據兩塊新業務拓展，以推動京東轉型；蘇寧雲商集團股份有限公司董事長張近東則在2013年對蘇寧進行大刀闊斧式的互聯網化轉型；騰訊董事長馬化騰則推動旗下電商業務在微信的助推下耐心地尋求彎道超車的機會。由此可見，2013年的電商江湖，表象上阿里、騰訊風頭出盡，其他電商價格戰風平浪靜，但冰山下面則在演繹著一場重構式的轉身大戲。儲存

By Martin Banks For China Daily Few people realize that China has the world’s second-highest number of United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture-listed World Heritage sites.儲存倉 Only Italy, with 49 to China’s 45, has more monuments and historical buildings on the World Heritage List, which features 981 in total. Despite great achievements in preserving its cultural relics, problems still exist in China. According to statistics from the latest national archaeological survey, more than 40,000 immovable cultural relics have vanished in the past 30 years, with half of them destroyed by construction work. Earlier last year, two centuries-old temples in Beijing — Songzhu Temple and Zhizhu Temple — were transformed into two upmarket dining clubs. Recently, Liu Xiang Mansion, one of the cultural relics under protection in Chongqing, the metropolis in the nation’s southwest, was quietly turned into a luxury restaurant. It now boasts a notice board that proclaims, “Exclusive Club. Enter upon invitation.” While such moves have again raised concerns about the protection of cultural relics, China continues to strengthen its position at the top of the world’s cultural heritage “league table”. In June, UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee added China’s Xinjiang Tianshan natural site, one of the world’s largest mountain ranges, and the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces to the World Heritage list. Of China’s 45 sites, 31 are cultural heritage sites, 10 are natural heritage sites and four are mixed sites. The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces are the subject of a major new photographic exhibition in Brussels featuring 15 of China’s UNESCO world heritage sites. The exhibition, which runs until Jan 10 at the Brussels Press Club in the heart of the European Union quarter, received the support of Liao Liqiang, China’s ambassador to Belgium. The exhibition, which opened on Dec 11, includes award-winning photographs of some of the best-known sites, such as the 5,000 kilometer Great Wall, which in 1987 became the first Chinese site to be included on UNESCO’s list. Also featured are two other tourist favorites, Beijing’s Imperial Palace Museum (the Forbidden City) and the Summer Palace. Badly damaged during the war in 1860, the Summer Palace, also known for its collection of 40,000 cultural relics, has been listed since 1998 when it was placed under State protection. But jaw-dropping phot迷你倉最平s of lesser known relics such as the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu, and Mount Taishan in Tai’an, Shandong, are also included. The sheer beauty and majesty of all the featured sites have already drawn glowing praise from visitors, who have included senior officials from nearby EU institutions. A diplomat at the Chinese Mission to the EU in charge of cultural affairs, welcomes such international exposure of China’s cultural heritage. “We are glad to see that at the moment, there are 45 UNESCO heritage sites in China,” he says. “Recognition by UNESCO is very helpful in raising people’s awareness of those places and enhancing China’s soft power. “Ever since joining the World Heritage Convention in 1985, China has been very active in protecting its heritage sites. Yet it will remain a challenge for us to have the best expertise in an extensive range of fields so we can better manage those sites for future generations.” These comments are echoed by a UNESCO source. “The world’s heritage needs to be preserved and handed over to future generations. UNESCO and its member states play a crucial role in this task. “Through these photos, we discover the diversity in China that constitutes a priceless heritage for humanity.” Further recognition of the importance of China’s cultural contribution to the world came a few years ago with the launch of a new Chinese edition of the UNESCO World Heritage Review magazine. It publishes feature articles on China’s imperial sites and gardens, ancient Chinese cities and towns, sacred monuments and religious grottoes. To be included on the World Heritage List, sites must be of “outstanding universal value” and meet at least one of 10 selection criteria. China, of course, is a country richly endowed with culture. The Chinese economy was transformed by Deng Xiaoping’s economic reforms that began in the late 1970s and it has not looked back since. Modern Chinese cultural exports have been a mainstay in homes across the world over the past few decades. Pop culture icons such as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan are global figures. Chinese action movies are popular all over the world. The discovery in Xi’an in 1974 of the Terracotta Army — sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang (260-210 BC), the first emperor of China — highlighted the depth of Chinese culture. The sculptures were buried alongside the emperor to protect him in the afterlife. 迷你倉
