By Rebecca Lo in Hong Kongsundayed@chinadaily.mini storagecom.cnWong Nai Chung Road is known for being the path to happiness: It surrounds Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Happy Valley racecourse where, every Wednesday, punters try their luck at a ticket to financial freedom.Many people on their way to watch the races are oblivious to the four cemeteries along the western side of Wong Nai Chung. Here, in the Muslim Cemetery, St. Michael Catholic Cemetery, Hong Kong Cemetery and Parsee Cemetery, the history of the city is written across crumbling gravestones and mausoleums, forever hushed next to all the racing action.Walkin is hoping to change that by bringing locals and visitors seeking in-depth knowledge of unusual sites. Founded this summer by four friends who love and know their city well, the group offers 120- to 150-minute themed and district-based walking tours.All the founders double as guides and have day jobs throughout the week. Walkin is currently operated only over the weekends, with a rotating schedule of different tours.From Monday through Friday, Paul Chan works in finance; Chow Chung-wah writes for travel publications, including Lonely Planet; Dora Choi is a television producer; and Haider Kikabhoy is an editor and translator.Once Saturday dawns, the team turns into walking and talking vessels for obscure facts and did-you-know commentaries, unveiling hidden corners of the city to budding history buffs. In just a few short months since their inception, Walkin has risen to become TripAdvisor’s number 12 of 98 activities in Hong Kong.I joined Walkin’s inaugural cemeteries tour, held on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Our group assembled in the lobby of the Cosmopolitan Hotel at the very end of Queen’s Road East, and Chow was our guide.“Happy Valley isn’t happy because of the racetrack,” she begins. “It is a euphemism for our final resting place.”Our group consisted of tourists, expats and locals who trouped after her as she led us to Ho儲存g Kong Cemetery’s entrance. Once within its gates, the sounds of nearby traffic along Wong Nai Chung and Canal roads receded and we were surrounded by the peace and tranquility of its well-manicured gardens.That couldn’t be said about the actual grave sites. Many of the older ones were sadly neglected, as the cemetery housed expats including tai pans and missionaries from Hong Kong’s infancy. There were women who died during childbirth or who fell during the plague of 1894. I spotted a few familiar names like Pottinger and pointed them out to Kikabhoy.“It’s an unusual surname, so he was most likely related to our first colonial governor Henry Pottinger (1789-1856),” agrees Kikabhoy.“The Hong Kong government takes care of the cemetery’s grounds, but it is up to the deceased’s descendents to take care of the graves themselves,” Chow notes, as she continued the walk. “You can see that many of the headstones have eroded over time — many of these people probably don’t have relatives who live in Hong Kong anymore.”On another tour, the theme was urban myths and aimed to expose some of the city’s most popular legends. “We use the term myth loosely,” Kikabhoy says, as he proceeds to tell tall tales about how popular culture relates to each of the sites we’re visiting.We started at the Hopewell Center and moved onto places like the 1937 Wanchai market with The Zenith, a new residential tower, grafted on top of it. We moved onto the neoclassical 1920s Grade 1 historical building Blue House before climbing up the hill to Pak Tai Temple.“This temple includes a chamber that pays homage to Bao Zheng, an 11th century Chinese government official who still stands as a symbol for justice,” says Kikabhoy, drawing connections between the architectural gems we were looking at to how we live our lives today. “As recently as last night, he was being depicted on TVB serials.”if you goCheck Walkin’s website for upcoming tour dates and times. .walkin.hk.迷你倉

Survey finds that even those who are less trusting are keen to volunteer or donateMost Singaporeans do not trust others easily, but their levels of involvement in volunteer work and charity-giving do not differ much from the rest who feel that most people can be trusted.倉These were the follow-up findings by two dons from the National University of Singapore Business School based on a previously released 2011 survey.Close to 70 per cent of respondents believed they "can never be too careful" when interacting with others, while the rest thought "most people can be trusted", according to the analysis conducted last month.From the group of respondents who were less trusting of others, 35 per cent of them often donated money to charity, while a quarter of them (25 per cent) often volunteered.In comparison, the figures for the group who said most people can be trusted were 40 per cent and 30 per cent, respectively - a margin of difference of just around 5 percentage points.Some studies in the West have shown that those who are more trusting of others tend to have higher levels of civic engagement such as doing volunteer work.Associate Professor Tan Soo Jiuan, who co-wrote the report, told The Sunday Times: "These findings were intriguing to us at first, as it showed that despite a low propensity to trust, they were not that different from those who are more trusting, when it involved giving in terms of time or money."She and Dr Siok Kuan Tambyah had previously conducted a mini storageurvey of 1,500 Singaporeans in 2011, in areas ranging from perceptions of their well-being to the values they find important.In their latest findings, they also found out that those with a religion or are more satisfied with their lives tend to give their time and money to charity more often.For instance, 38 per cent of those with a religion often donate to charity, compared to 21 per cent of those without a religion.Also, 34 per cent of those with "high" levels of life satisfaction said they often find time to be involved in community work, compared to 25 per cent and 12 per cent of those with "medium" and "low" levels of life satisfaction, respectively.Prof Tan said the link between life satisfaction and civic engagement could also apply the other way around. She said that those who volunteer or donate regularly are more likely to be satisfied with their lives.Her comment is supported by the conclusion of a separate survey commissioned by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre.Singapore Management University professor David Chan, who was the consultant for the survey, said in October: "Happy people are more likely to give, but people who give also tend to become happier."Prof Tan agreed. "Our findings suggest the overall well-being of Singaporeans could have a positive impact on our society."She added: "Social organisations could take this into consideration when designing campaigns to promote more charitable behaviour among Singaporeans."goyshiyi@sph.com.sg迷你倉

美國啟動退市機制，迷利倉港股偷步沽貨連跌三周，惟有一批趕尾閘上市的新股依然搶鏡，上周四便有5隻齊齊掛牌，到周五再有6隻上市，包括多次只聞樓梯響的光大銀行（06818）。按會計師行安永指，今年共有96家公司在本港上市，共集資一千六百多億元，較去年大幅上升八成。新股連珠爆發，個別抽中的股民有錢賺，惟短暫「燦爛煙花」過後，這批勝在無蟹貨的新股，便到短兵相接、實力比併的時候。今期《投資動向》找來四個不同行業新股作比較，一齊箇中尋寶。今年上市集資額較大股份鳳凰醫療憧憬併購三中全會決定啟動社保和醫療改革，現時公立醫院幾佔體系逾八成半，私人醫院佔比只為小數的醫院市場，未來增長潛力巨大。鳳凰醫療（01515）十一月底上市，是現時上市公司中唯一一隻純醫院概念股份，以北京為業務基地。截至六月底共有11間綜合醫院、1家中醫院及28家社會診所。內地新一輪經濟改革，鼓勵民間資本進入包括醫療在內的市場，鳳凰已有經營私家醫院的經驗，是內地最大民營醫院，集資所得將用作網絡擴展，在北京以外的地方找尋落腳點，未來或有併購進行。醫療需求增加內地消費力提升，國民對醫療等基本需求，國營的公立醫院未必能完全滿足，尤其是一班有消費力的中產或富有階層，質素、管理較佳，而收費又高的私人醫療市場實在大有可為，佔整體醫療市場的比例有機會提升至兩成以上。鳳凰醫療上市首日勁升35%後，續試高位，最高升至12.82元後橫行整固，現價估值高，但未來市場步入高增長階段，併購壯大，有望再穿上次高位。耐世特業務料轉佳耐世特（01316）是汽車轉向及動力傳動產品供應商，轉向產品排全球第五大。一直依賴出口市場，著名車廠通用汽車、福特、快意、佳士拿及標緻雪鐵龍皆是其客戶。近兩年公司業績倒退，上半年盈利再跌1.2%，似乎未受惠北美市場汽車銷售復甦，其中一個原因是車廠為求谷銷量提供優惠，影響到毛利率，但隨經濟進一步復甦，車市復甦持續下，上游供應商業務將見好轉。耐世特前身於百多年前成立，早年收歸於通用汽車名下，輾轉迷你倉手落在太平洋世紀（北京）汽車零部件公司手上，太平洋世紀其後又被國企中航工業子公司購入，變身為國企一員，是既具歷史又有技術的汽車零件商，因現時中國市場佔其業務份額僅5.5%，未來增長空間大。海螺創業估值仍低海螺創業（00586）上周四上市，是一家投資控股及節能環保解決方案的大型綜合供貨商，透過間接持有海螺集團而持有海螺水泥（00914）約23.1%，亦持有15.7%在內地上市的蕪湖海螺。野村估計，未來三年單是持有這兩隻股份，便可為每股盈利帶來複合年增長13%。水泥生產餘熱發電供貨方面，公司是內地第二大，佔市場份額21%，海螺水泥是其最大客戶。由於內地不斷收緊環保要求，海創正計劃豐富節能環保解決方案品類，開始綠色建材、如CCA板及木絲水泥板，是環保且成本低的建材，並計劃引入歐洲生產設備。按其市盈率，上周五收報16.82元，約為一二年市盈率17倍，較同業股14.5至39倍相比，屬下限水平，未反映公司背景及規模，仲有上升水位。IGG耐心等候上車IGG（08002）是全球網絡遊戲開發商及營運商，截至今年十月底，共提供30款遊戲。4G落實，智能手機的功能發展加快，手遊市場持續高速增長，今年上市的雲遊（00484）、博雅互動（00434）都是遊戲商，IGG選擇創業板上市，近兩年錄得虧損，但具新加坡背景，又引入DYNAM JAPAN（06889）為基礎投資者。另外，在策略股東名單上有淡馬錫及光大證券。上市時表示今年已推出9款手機遊戲，未來計劃每年開發20至30隻遊戲，每隻遊戲研發費用50萬美元。手遊具競爭力擁較強的研發團隊，手遊支援多種語言，具競爭力，其中所開發的「城寶爭霸」在香港Android遊戲收入排名第四，是最受歡迎的遊戲。市場相信，手機遊戲等科網概念繼今年熱炒後，明年隨新技術及新遊戲推出，料可延續升勢，投資者可繼續留意，惟內地文化部現正整治手機網絡市場，涉及賭博或誘導用戶付費及未經批准擅自經營的企業，消息不利，投資者要耐心等候時機，搵位上車。自存倉

Source: Philadelphia Daily NewsDec.mini storage 20--IKE REESE, the former Eagles Pro Bowl special-teamer and now the smarter and better-looking half of WIP's "Mike & Ike Show," was talking the other day about Chip Kelly's decision not to kick the ball to the Vikings' dangerous kickoff returner, Cordarrelle Patterson, in the Birds' 48-30 loss last Sunday.On the Eagles' first five kickoffs, Kelly had Alex Henery go with shorter squib kicks and mortar kicks. Patterson never got a return opportunity, but the strategy gave the Vikings a short field.They started three of those drives at their 34-, 38- and 46-yard lines, and the Vikings' average starting field position for the game was their 39. It was the second-best average starting field position against the Eagles this season.Reese, who played for the Eagles for seven seasons from 1998 through the 2004 Super Bowl year, vehemently disagreed with Kelly's strategy, as did most everyone else in Philadelphia.He said that if John Harbaugh, who was the Eagles' special-teams coordinator back then, ever had suggested doing that, he would have marched into Harbs' office with some of the other special-teams leaders and pleaded with him to kick the ball deep and give them an opportunity to stop Patterson the old-fashioned way.Yesterday, I asked Eagles special-teams coordinator Dave Fipp if any of his players had done that last week when he informed them that they weren't going to be kicking to Patterson, who was averaging a league-best 33.9 yards per return and had two touchdown returns."I won't talk about what we talked about behind those doors," Fipp said.Safety Kurt Coleman, who is one of the Eagles' top special-teams players and a guy with 29 career starts, said he didn't really have a problem with the decision not to kick to Patterson."You want to play aggressive," he said. "But you also have to understand that this guy was leading the league in kick-return yards."It's just a strategy, like anything else. Like double coverage or having somebody over the top [on a pass play]. I don't see it being a bad call. It was all about, let's not let him win the game. Make somebody else beat us. And that's what it came down to."Which brings us to this Sunday. The Eagles will be facing another prolific return man: the Bears' Devin Hester. This time, they'll almost certainly be without Coleman, who is out with a hamstring injury, and another of their top coverage people, Colt Anderson (knee).Which is to say that there's a pretty good chance we'll be seeing more mortar and squib kicks this week."Everything's on the table," Fipp said.This probably wouldn't be an issue if Henery could get more of his kickoffs through the end zone. But he has the ninth-lowest touchback percentage (.446) in the league this season."Any time you kick off the ball, you have to weigh all of the conditions and situations," Fipp said. "How far can your kicker kick it? What are the [weather] conditions? Who is the returner you're kicking to? There's a multitude of variables that you have to play out. That's how we develop a game plan."Hester, who has 18 career kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns, is fifth in the league in kickoff-return average (28.6) and sixth in punt-return average (12.2)."He's a great returner," Fipp said. "He's arguably one of the best in the history of the game. We have a ton of respect for him. We have a huge challenge ahead of us. We'll see what happens."The Eagles also hope to limit Hester's punt-return opportunities. Punter Donnie Jones has had just 33.3 percent of his attempts returned this season (25 of 75). That's the fourth lowest in the league."You want to try to eliminate those guys from the game," Jones said. "We did that the entire game last week. Australian-rules punts. It worked pretty well except for the last punt, which I kind of mishit."Cary ventsCary Williams longs for the NFL of yesteryear when the rules of the game were based on common sense rather than the potential for punitive damages.Like most defensive players, the Eagles cornerback hates what the league is doing to the game in the supposed name of safety. Last Monday night, he watched in disbelief as Lions safety Louis Delmas was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a sideline hit on Ravens receiver Marlon Brown. Brown and Lions cornerback Bill Bentley were entwined just as Joe Flacco's pass arrived. Delmas, coming over from his safety position, tried to break up the pass and collided with both Brown and Bentley. The officials called him for illegal contact to the head and neck area on a defenseless player."That call was horrible," Williams said. "Those types of [calls], they make me upset. It kind of grinds my gears a little bit. It's one of the things that frustrates me as a defender."You're taught from [when you're] a young kid to jar the ball away. Especially when they have it close to their body. You're supposed to put your body on his body."Back in the day, you put your helmet on the shoulder pads or helmet on the helmet. Doing whatever it takes. Now, you've got to let the guy catch it, then he has to fall down. If he's not looking at you, then he's a defenseless receiver. I just don't understand what a defenseless receiver is."If you're out there, you know you're going to get hit when you catch the ball. Receivers, that's what they signed up for. They're going to catch the ball and they know people are going to try and hit them."I think the league is just covering their tails for the concussions and all this other junk, if you really want to be honest. It's a cover-up. [They're saying], 'You're not going to get any money out of us later on in life. No. Concussions? No."I don't like the calls at all. We might as well just let receivers catch the ball across the middle. Put a soft pillow down for them to lay on after they catch it. It makes no sense, man. It's frustrating."The longest yardIn the Eagles' first 13 games this season, LeSean McCoy was money in short yardage. He converted 15 of 18 "and-1" situations and 27 of 35 situations of 2 yards or less.Which is why it was so shocking Sunday to watch a Vikings defense that was ranked 22nd in the league against the run at the time, stop McCoy on consecutive third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 plays midway through the third quarter."If we get the first down there," center Jason Kelce said, "maybe that game turns out differently. I don't want to say it was the turning point because we were already losing [24-9] at that point. But it would have been a turning point in our favor if we had gotten that."Kelce's breakdown of what went wrong on the two plays. First, the third-and-1:"It was a pulling play for me and [left guard] Todd [Herremans] designed to hit right off the tight end. When I pulled, there was a down block [defensive tackle Letroy Guion] that ended up getting some penetration. I got picked off on that, so it slowed me down on my call [blocking assignment]."What happened then was Shady got out in front of me. When Shady gets out in front of me, he sees my guy [linebacker Chad Greenway] in the hole and he has to bounce it outside. When he bounces it outside, you never know what's going to happen. It wasn't the way it was supposed to hit. And that'sself storagewhat kind of killed that play."On fourth-and-1:"It was an inside zone play to the left. Me and [left guard Evan] Mathis, because it's short yardage, we want to start off with a double team [on Guion] to get good vertical push. But because of the way their linebackers were playing, playing downhill so much and so wide, the reason they do that is to get you off double teams."So Mathis comes in hard initially and then he has to come off [Guion] quick. So I'm on only half a man [with Mathis]. Then Evan leaves [to block linebacker Audie Cole] and I have to try and push the guy [Guion]. In hindsight, I think we would have been better-suited if I would have let Evan go straight to the 'backer and manned [Guion] up myself. Because I would have been able to get on top of him right away."If we would have done that, I think Shady right away would have cut behind me and cut behind what was a pretty good push from our backside tackle and guard [Herremans and Lane Johnson]. That's what we wanted to do. That's the part of the play that gets the best push -- the backside tackle and guard. And that's kind of where most of them have been hitting in short yardage."This and that--The Eagles have won the opening coin toss in eight of their 14 games. The first five times they won the toss (the first Redskins and Giants games, Chargers, Bucs and Cowboys), they took the ball. The last three times -- against the Raiders, Cardinals and Vikings -- they deferred.--Bears right guard Kyle Long played for Chip Kelly at Oregon last season. Says he's like an uncle to him. During a media conference call this week, Long was asked for a favorite story about Kelly's coaching style. "Chip made blocking on a screen play very easy for me when he explained it," Long said. "He called [former Oregon tight end] Colt Lyerla and me over once. We had botched a screen in practice. He took out a piece of paper and drew a square with a circle in it. He said, 'Look, this is a pizza box with a pizza in it. I'm about to cut the pizza into two slices.' He said, 'Colt, this is your slice. Kyle just ate it. What are you going to do? Are you going to complain about it or are you going to take Kyle's slice?' That's how he explained blocking to me. The most-dangerous-man concept. If I block him, then you pick up my guy. That's just a small example of [wondering], how the hell does he think about this?"--When the Eagles have faced bigger receivers the last few weeks, such as Lions' Calvin Johnson and the Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, defensive coordinator Bill Davis frequently has had linebacker Connor Barwin line up across from them and delay their entry into their route. He is expected to do a lot of that again against the Bears' 6-4, 230-pound behemoths, Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall. "They're big, physical receivers," Barwin said. "You want to try to slow them down at the line. It takes them a little longer to get going [than smaller receivers]."Figuring the Eagles--LeSean McCoy, who leads the NFL in rushing with 1,343 yards, is on pace to finish with 1,535 yards. That would be the lowest total to win a rushing title since LaDainian Tomlinson did it in 2007 with 1,474 yards, and the third-lowest winning total in the last 21 years. Fourteen of the last 20 rushing champions made it to the playoffs. Five made it to the conference championship game. Four made it to the Super Bowl: the Seahawks' Shaun Alexander in 2005 (lost), the Broncos' Terrell Davis in 1998 (won) and the Cowboys' Emmitt Smith in 1995 (won) and '93 (won).--The Eagles have accumulated a league-high 14 defensive pass-interference penalties, including two by Bradley Fletcher and Roc Carmichael in last week's loss to the Vikings. The 200 yards they have been penalized for those 14 infractions is the second most in the league (Houston has 263). Fletcher has a team-high five of those 14 penalties (for 50 yards). Carmichael and Cary Williams each have three (for 54 and 27 yards, respectively), Brandon Boykin has two (62 yards) and DeMeco Ryans has one (7 yards). Check out the chart on this page for a club-by-club breakdown of pass-interference penalties.--The Eagles are 26th in the league in third-down defense (41.3 percent). In the last 3 years, just five of the 36 teams that qualified for the playoffs had a higher percentage than that.2-minute drillFROM THE LIP--"He's never asked for that. He's never intimated any of that. And it's easy to say, it's easy to speculate, 'Well, he was in college and he had full control and he wants full control here.' That sounds great until you actually get to reality. And Jim's never really ever asked for that." -- 49ers CEO Jed York on a report that coach Jim Harbaugh wants more control over personnel decisions--"There's no excuse for it. Because he's such a good player, we're all going to make excuses for him. But what he did was wrong. They were a little lax on him when he first came in as a rookie. Maybe they let him do things they shouldn't have, things that they have to live with now." -- Hall of Fame coach John Madden on Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant going to the locker room before the end of Sunday's loss to the PackersTHE WISDOM OF CHIP--"I'm smart enough to know what I don't know. And there's a lot that I don't know. So I'll defer to the guys who really do know it." -- Kelly on dealing with injuriesBY THE NUMBERS--Teams have combined for 1,190 touchdowns this season. That's the most TDs at this point in the season in league history. Of those 1,190 TDs, 722 have come on passes, which also is the most ever through the first 15 weeks.--Lions receiver Calvin Johnson has 5,094 receiving yards since the start of the 2011 season. He's the first player in history to notch 5,000 receiving yards in any three-season span.--Four teams that were in or tied for last place in their division last season -- the Eagles, Saints, Panthers and Chiefs -- currently are in or tied for first place. If any of them win their division, it will be the 11th straight year that at least one NFL team has done the worst-to-first thing.--The Broncos are averaging a league-best 38.2 points per game this season. That's the second most in history. The only team that averaged more was the 1950 Los Angeles Rams (39.8).--There currently are 11 quarterbacks with a passer rating of 90 or better. Last year, there were 10. In 2003, there were just four.Domo's rankings1 Seahawks 12-2 (4 last week)2 49ers 10-4 (5)3 Broncos 11-3 (2)4 Chiefs 11-3 (7)5 Panthers 10-4 (8)6 Patriots 10-4 (1)7 Saints 10-4 (3)8 Ravens 8-6 (9)9 Cardinals 9-5 (11)10 Colts 9-5 (12)11 Bengals 9-5 (6)12 Bears 8-6 (14)13 Lions 7-7 (13)14 Chargers 7-7 (16)15 Eagles 8-6 (10)16 Dolphins 8-6 (17)17 Packers 7-6-1 (18)18 Steelers 6-8 (19)19 Cowboys 7-7 (15)20 Rams 6-8 (20)21 Jets 6-8 (21)22 Vikings 4-9-1 (25)23 Jaguars 4-10 (22)24 Titans 5-9 (23)25 Bucs 4-10 (24)26 Giants 5-9 (26)27 Falcons 4-10 (29)28 Bills 5-9 (30)29 Browns 4-10 (28)30 Raiders 4-10 (27)31 Texans 2-12 (31)32 Redskins 3-11 (32)Email: pdomo@aol.comOn Twitter: @PdomoBlog: ph.ly/Eagletarian.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Philadelphia Daily News Visit the Philadelphia Daily News at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

商報訊(記者李彥琴通訊員張若虛)“爸爸去哪兒”，mini storage12月17日，一出心酸版“爸爸去哪兒”的尋找行動在蘭州客運段列車上展開。一個出生僅百天左右的男嬰被家人抱上列車後，家人不見了蹤影。列車工作人員和旅客一同在列車上為男嬰尋找“爸爸”最終尋找無果，列車員精心照顧之餘，將孩子移交給車站警方。孩子在座位上抱娃的男子卻不見了當日，旅客王先生從嘉峪關乘坐蘭州客運段擔當的K9662次列車準備去蘭州，列車從酒泉開車後，他旁邊座位上來了一名懷抱嬰兒的男子，上車後不久，男子將嬰兒放在座位上便離開了。起初，王先生並未在意以為男子去上廁所了，可近半個小時後仍未見男子的蹤影，看到座位上孤單的嬰兒，王先生找到了列車員，希望能幫助尋找嬰兒的家人。接到列車員的報告後，列車長高虎迅速和乘警趕到了嬰兒所在的17號硬座車廂。打開一層單薄的繈褓後，大家發現是一個男嬰，目測身體並無缺陷。全車尋找原來孩子他爸已經下車列車長立即通知列車廣播，按照李先生所提供的男子體貌特徵在全列車進行找尋，並發動列車員逐個車廂尋找該名男子。列車長和乘警則對車廂旅客走訪瞭解。然而，半個小時過去了，並沒有發現男子的蹤跡和線索。高車長沒有灰心，他和乘self storage繼續對車廂的其他旅客進行走訪，希望找到有關線索。在走訪中一名旅客的回憶引起了大家的注意。該名旅客告訴列車長，列車到達清水站時，有一名形色匆匆的男子下車，而這名男子和李先生所提供的抱嬰兒男子的體貌特徵極其相似。考慮到多方尋找無果，高車長決定先將男嬰抱到餐車照看。在列車餐車，高虎車長和乘警一同打開男嬰繈褓，希望從中再尋找線索，這時 ，從繈褓的夾縫中露出了200元錢，大家繼續尋找再未發現其他物品和線索。至此，大家已經能確定這名男嬰就是一個棄嬰。天冷繈褓單薄，必須想辦法保暖，列車工作人員找來被子將嬰兒包裹起來，並從餐車準備了糖水給男嬰喂服，幾名女列車員還輪流抱著孩子用體溫為其取暖。當晚11時34分，列車到達張掖站，列車工作人員和乘警一同將男嬰移交給了張掖車站派出所，並辦理了交接手續。作為流動人員集中的公�場合，近年來，列車上頻現被遺棄的嬰兒。來自蘭州客運段的消息是，僅2013年一年中，該段擔當的列車上已發現了3名棄嬰，列車工作人員除了精心照顧外，只能按規定向公安機關移交，為此，鐵路部門在呼籲社會各界共同關愛嬰童的同時，也希望所有父母樹立正確家庭價值觀，切實承擔好撫養 子女的社會和家庭責任。迷你倉

○二年七月電盈（00008）為減債忍痛賣斷CSL，mini storage兜兜轉轉十一年後終於可以「回歸」母公司，而當年的香港電訊品牌和架構亦重新「歸位」。科網爆泡 賣仔減債話說○○年盈科數碼動力（電盈前身）以總代價2,900億元，「鯨吞」香港電訊，當年在時任盈動主席的李澤楷之名牌效應下，令這隻「八號仔」股價一度創27.8元的歷史新高，市值升至2,500億元。惟盈動以蛇吞象進行併購導致債台高築，兩家公司合併後的電盈儲存債估計逾100億美元，加上當年科網股泡沫爆破，令公司借貸利息成本急升。為應付債務，電盈先於○○年起引入澳電訊（Telstra）「泵水」，包括將Reach的50%，以及CSL的60%股權售予Telstra。鑑於當年本港電訊市場開放不久，競爭者少，CSL在流動電訊業務曾領導市場，每月每戶平均消費（ARPU）在業內稱冠。其後在○二年七月，電盈以4.75億美元將CSL餘下的40%股權悉售予Telstra。迷你倉

再過幾天就是聖誕節，mini storage南台灣的高雄，聖誕氣氛濃厚，除了世運大道約900公尺長的燈海、以及聖誕主題區藝術創作，全港都175處教會、機關也同步點燈慶祝。百貨商場更上演薑餅人襲擊巨蛋的戲碼，小朋友還有旋轉木馬可坐，南台灣節慶感十足。報導╱賴佳昀 攝影╱張世平 相較於台北、台中，南台灣的高雄聖誕氣氛可也一點兒不遜色。今年高雄市政府大手筆在世運大道布置了綿延900公尺的燈海，以藍、白色系為主，璀璨而不失質感，拍照時即使調到最大景深，看起來卻一點都不雜亂，不論是走過或開車經過，浪漫無敵，真的很美。相較之下，在世運主場館的29公尺高LED主燈，卻沒那麼令我驚豔，百貨商場、精品店或飯店裡的任一棵樹都比它還像聖誕樹。周圍大片燈海已走冷色調，主燈卻還是同色系，孤單立於空曠的場館上，看起來竟有些寂寞。 玫瑰堂 耶穌在裡面 不過，市府團隊在世運大道人行道上的各種聖誕布置，可見用心，其中一座借用天主教玫瑰堂外觀、以木板搭建的臨時展館，裡頭陳設大幅耶穌3D地景畫作，有8種方式拍出最佳3D效果，互動性高，我覺得很有趣。此外，今明兩天(12/21、12/22)在世運主場館晚間都有節目表演，12/24則有愛心園遊會，有空就來去逗熱鬧吧！另一個我很喜歡的是漢神巨蛋今年耗資370萬所搭起的北歐小村莊，場景拍來超有FU，還附送故事。話說，聖誕節同時也是禮物節，人人都期待得到好禮，心急的薑餅人以為聖誕老公公忘了準備他的，一氣之下變的超巨大，成為帶刀疤的薑餅壞人，還大膽綁架聖誕老公公。真糟糕，這下禮物誰來送？難不成要去找花媽(陳菊市長)要？村民唯一可以擊敗他的武器就是彈弓…啊結果咧？就像看電影先知道結局那電影就不好看了，欲知薑餅壞人後事如何，敬請親自揭曉。有錢出國到北歐度聖誕那是很理想啦，但如過沒錢又沒閒，來巨蛋拍拍照，效果也差不多差不多！ 百萬木馬 小孩超愛 漢神大手筆的不只巨蛋，在本館門外另有一座百萬旋轉木馬，小朋友都超愛的，不過，媽媽可能不愛，因為要消費滿2000元才能搭1次。聖誕節的意義除了全家團圓、互贈禮物，最重要的是幫愛世人的耶穌慶生，再替祂把愛心送到大街小巷家家戶戶，這個月在高雄可參觀飯店、百貨商場的精巧裝置，而全高雄教會聖誕月同步點燈，更像愛的種子一般，伴隨悠揚聖樂，在冬夜裡發光發熱，溫暖著每一個人。 【風味美食】澎湃聖誕餐 海陸到位 歡慶聖誕，全台飯店皆推出特製套餐搶客。12/24選在高雄君鴻39樓大廳酒吧用餐(每人1680元+10%)，參加聖誕趴免費，飯店除找來樂團現場開唱，並準備了國標舞、聖誕舞、互動迷你倉戲等節目，前50名訂餐另贈白麝香乳液。主菜2選1，牛排使用最高等級(Prime)的菲力牛，6盎司煎約3~5分熟，中心猶見美麗的粉紅色。不吃牛，可選海鮮，肉質結實、油脂豐富的藍斑魚加上煎明蝦，一盤雙享，紅醋栗醬汁充滿節慶感，其中還摻入水果醋，酸甜清爽的確跟海鮮頗對味。前菜清蒸澳洲龍蝦口味也很讚，醬汁以檸檬汁、奶油、白酒、紅蔥頭、蝦夷蔥、番茄製成，濃郁而不膩口。而馬賽海鮮湯也是料好實在，裡頭匯集日本干貝、北海道帝王蟹、淡菜、草蝦等海味，作為節慶湯品澎湃夠格。甜點是松露巧克力慕斯蛋糕，巧克力甘納許灑上金粉，外觀高雅討喜。 【旅遊資訊】 ◎開車 ★世運主場館聖誕主燈、世運大道天主教玫瑰堂展館、星雨大道：國道10號下左營端，接台17線轉世運大道可抵。 ★漢神巨蛋：台17線轉明誠三路，接博愛二路可抵。 ★五福三路天主教玫瑰堂：台17線轉五福三路可抵。 ★鹽埕長老教會：五福四路轉瀨南街可抵。 ★漢神百貨：台17線轉新田路。 ★高雄君鴻：台17線轉三多四路。 ◎搭車 ★世運大道天主教玫瑰堂展館、聖誕主燈、星雨大道：搭高雄捷運至世運站下。 ★漢神巨蛋：搭高雄捷運至巨蛋站下。 ★五福三路天主教玫瑰堂：搭高雄捷運至後驛站下，轉搭高雄市公車33路至高雄女中站下。 ★鹽埕長老教會：搭高雄捷運至鹽埕埔站下。 ★漢神百貨：搭高雄捷運至中央公園站下，轉搭免費接駁車。 ★高雄君鴻：搭高雄捷運至三多商圈站下。 ◎相關資訊 ★世運大道天主教玫瑰堂展館 10:00~22:00 無休 ★世運聖誕主燈、星雨大道 點燈至2014元宵節，17:00~00:00 無休 ★五福三路天主教玫瑰堂 (07)282-3860 09:00~17:00，周日不開放 ★鹽埕長老教會 (07)561-1315 ★漢神百貨 (07)215-7266 旋轉木馬平日18:00~21:30、假日13:30~17:00、18:00~21:30 消費滿2000元+超集卡過卡1次，即可免費搭乘旋轉木馬1次，平日限300人，假日限600人 ★漢神巨蛋 (07)555-9688 11:00~22:00、周五11:00~22:30、周六10:30~22:30、周日10:30~22:00 無休 ★高雄君鴻 (07)566-1161 12:00~01:00，聖誕套餐12/24、12/25供應，楓糖聖誕薑餅屋即日起~12/25供應 無休 聖誕套餐每人1680元+10%，楓糖聖誕薑餅屋300元 楓糖聖誕薑餅屋宜預約文件倉
