Ideas to shape train passengers' behaviour, such as queueing up, will be put to the testThe first stage of the Downtown Line opens on Dec 22 and will test ideas to make riding the train more pleasant for everyone.迷你倉樂器The platforms at the six stations will have two new types of queue lines to nudge people to enter trains in a more orderly fashion.At Telok Ayer and Promenade stations, the lines will be drawn parallel to platform doors, showing clearly where to queue. This is similar to queue lines at some Taipei metro stations.The Chinatown, Downtown, Bayfront and Bugis stations will have a modified version of existing queue lines, with markings spaced wider apart, forming a bigger "funnel" for entering and leaving the the trains.Other measures to be tried out include playing soft music at platforms to soothe frazzled nerves, and painting reserved seats with eye-catching designs.Senior Minister of State for Transport Josephine Teo told The Sunday Times the idea is to apply "design thinking" to shape commuter behaviour.The initiatives followed a study of 1,000 commuters conducted by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) from February to July.Mrs Teo had mooted the study and wanted to know how important it was to address the issue of graciousness on the trains, and what would work to improve people's travel experience.The study found that bad behaviour - such as not queueing and crowding the area near the train doors instead of moving in - had the str迷你倉西貢ngest influence on whether commuters had a pleasant or unpleasant ride.Passenger behaviour mattered more to those surveyed than factors such as station design and how crowded the train was.Mrs Teo said: "Our instincts were correct. We always knew that commuter behaviour was a big influence on the commuting experience, but we didn't have a measure of the extent."She noted that the LTA is already doing a lot to improve reliability and inject capacity into the MRT network, but it was equally important to think about shaping commuter behaviour.The new schemes will be tested at the first stage of the Downtown Line - the DTL1 - and if they work, they could be extended to other MRT lines.To encourage more commuters to move into the carriages and away from the doors, the DTL1 trains will feature three rows of handrails instead of the usual one or two.Mrs Teo said the LTA is also considering installing TV screens in the middle of trains to encourage people to move in.Commuters got a first look at the new queue lines and reserved seat designs during an open house yesterday that featured free train rides, music and activities. About 40,000 people turned up.Polytechnic student Chris Selvakumar, 20, thinks the new parallel queue lines will make boarding and alighting more orderly.He said: "The lines are designed so there is one way into the train and one way out. This makes it easier. They should experiment with this in other MRT lines."roysim@sph.com.sg迷你倉將軍澳

湖北日報訊 陸俊峰 周姍姍車在路上走，迷你倉人在畫中游；身在雪上飛，心在畫中醉；一路一景，路景相融，林海雪原，追風逐雪。冬天來了，到神農架滑雪去！12月7日，神農架第九屆滑雪節暨激情天燕滑雪邀請賽�幕，預計當天有近千人參加。浪漫又刺激的滑雪運動，正以其獨特的魅力，逐漸走入尋常百姓家。滑雪是人類冬季親近大自然的一種運動方式。久居都市，長年生活于鋼筋水泥建築中的現代人，緊張工作一年後，常常渴望在歲末年初尋找一處遠離都市、空氣清新的場所，休養放鬆。如今，越來越多的人願意嘗試在冰清玉潔、銀裝素裹的滑雪場，馳聘于茫茫雪地，即使沒有一流的滑雪技術，但從山頂穿梭于樹木之間，騰空飛翔的快感，正是冬季滑雪運動的妙趣所在。體驗這種魅力，不必再去北方，就在湖北，位於神農架林區的天燕滑雪場是最靠近南方的高山滑雪場。四周群山環抱，山巒起伏多姿，溝壑縱橫交織，天燕滑雪場集奇、險、秀、幽于一體，是以旅遊戲雪、滑雪、賞雪、休閒體驗為核心的新型高山滑雪場。這裡，距神農架旅遊明星小鎮木魚48公里，從木魚鎮出發至天燕滑雪場全程約1小時15分鐘，全程交通為國道線，路況、安防設施都非常完善。海拔1800米，地勢平坦，面積約4萬平方米，滑雪場冬季月平均溫度為-4℃，全年積雪時間90天左右，可一次性接待遊客2200人。除了滑雪，這裡還有雪地摩托、雪圈、單板、雙板等雪上運動，場內還設有練習場、初級滑雪道2條，中級道1條，雪道總長度1200余米。3條總長度達700余米的魔毯，將使滑雪之旅變得更輕鬆愜意。不論你是雪上運動新手，還是資深發燒友，長達5公里的越野滑雪道，2條初級道、1條中級道、1條越野道的不同設置，都能讓你各取所需，如飛燕般在林海雪原中追風逐雪、風馳電掣。冬天到神農架，除了熱門項目滑雪之外，還可以去其他景區欣賞美妙的儲存景，甚至可以與金絲猴親密接觸！大龍潭金絲猴科研觀賞區位於神農頂景區的東北部，接近自然保護區的入口。大龍潭因一處泉眼深潭而得名，這裡有全球首個金絲猴野外研究機構——中國神農架金絲猴保護研究基地。藍面仰鼻、身背金色長毛的神農架金絲猴在原始森林里追逐嬉戲，盡情打鬧，清脆的”咦、哦”叫聲不時回蕩在山谷。神農架在國內率先通過人工補食的舉措，實現對野生金絲猴的成功招引，使這裡的金絲猴克服了對人的恐懼心理，大膽走近人類，它們可以爬到人的肩膀上，伸手摸鏡頭……種種情態，演繹出人與動物、人與大自然的和諧之美。　　小資料早在幾千年前，人們的生產條件還很落後，為了在惡劣的自然環境中生存，人類發明瞭可以代替行走的滑雪板，它的應用使得人們可以在浩瀚的森林中任意馳聘。如今，滑雪已經成為世界上最流行的冬季運動項目，它與高爾夫、馬術、台球並稱為四大紳士運動。在歐美等國家，冬季的周末，汽車上架著滑雪板出游是一種時尚，而這種時尚之所以能夠經久不衰，正是源於滑雪運動的獨特魅力。滑雪是一項回歸自然的運動，老少皆宜。在滑雪場，人的心靈與自然合一，清淨透徹，輕鬆愉悅。滑雪是直接與大自然接觸的過程，在這個過程中，滑雪水平是漸進的。從一開始不停的摔倒到能從容滑行，從初級學道蹣跚起步到高級雪道飛馳而下，滑雪者由此產生的成就感、愉悅感是其它項目無可比擬的。這種感受在高山滑雪中體味的更加透徹。高山滑雪起源於歐洲北部的阿爾卑斯山地區，故又稱阿爾卑斯滑雪，是在越野滑雪基礎上逐步形成的。滑雪並不難，初學者如果身體平衡能力好，或有輪滑或滑冰等運動基礎，在1小時之內便可以掌握平衡、走路和爬坡，幾個小時便可以學會簡單的滑行、減速、停止和轉彎，膽大且身體素質較好的，1天內便可以在高山上自由地滑行了。本版圖片除署名外，均由湖北神農旅遊公司提供。mini storage

kjcheow@sph.com.sg在這個年代，迷你倉尖沙咀相信幾乎每個人都是銀行的客戶。渣打銀行的客戶資料被竊，雖然被盜竊的資料是非常富裕的私人銀行客戶的賬單資料，但也無可避免地讓我們這些普通的銀行客戶，對於銀行的系統和安全感到擔心。金融管理局和各家銀行都表明這是一起孤立事件，並沒有對整體系統造成威協；盜竊也是通過第三方伺服器進行而並非銀行本身。然而，這起事件引出了一些重要的�示和仍待解答的問題。首先，這批資料是警方在11月逮捕黑客“彌賽亞”占姆士·拉傑後，在他的手提電腦上發現的。換言之，若非占姆士涉嫌入侵多個網站，而被警方逮捕的話，大家至今都不會知道這些資料已經流出，甚至可能永遠不會發現。接著引出的其他問題包括：這批資料是如何跑到他的電腦上？是他還是別人竊取的？2月份的賬單，他已經持有多久了？他的動機何在？資料是否已經外傳給其他人？這些都仍在調查中，我就不去妄自揣測了，但難免心中不安。其次，偷竊並非通過渣打銀行本身的系統進行，而是通過提供賬單打印服務的第三方服務供應商富士施樂的伺服器所進行的。雖然不是銀行內部的系統被侵入，但對於一個銀行客戶來說，這樣的說辭有意義嗎？一個木桶能夠裝多少水，是取決于最低的那一塊木板。如果客戶資料被泄露，我相信他關注的不是通過什麼途徑泄漏的，而是它確實泄漏出去mini storage。英語也有一句諺語，“一條鏈的堅固程度取決于它最薄弱的環節”，即使最核心的環節很堅固，但是別的環節如果出現了問題呢？畢竟，銀行通過第三方服務供應商提供各種銀行服務已經是普遍的做法，包括郵寄服務、收債服務、信用卡壓印，甚至使用數據中心。在這種情況下，強調核心環節沒有被妥協，並不能夠擔保整體環節的堅固。到目前為止，資料遭偷竊的客戶，戶頭都尚未出現未經授權交易，這勉強可算是這次事件中不幸中的大幸。然而，銀行客戶資料的價值不應該只是限于可能出現的未經授權交易所帶來的金額損失而已。銀行客戶對於自己隱私權的重視，可說是無價的。就上述提及的，偷竊這些資料的人的意圖何在，目前仍然未知。對於這些擁有超過200萬美元資產的私人銀行客戶而言，這無非是一個無法輕易放下的心頭大石。他們畢竟不能夠將錢都放在蘇打餅罐里，藏在床底下，希望不要被別人發現。當然，公道地說一句，這類資料竊取事件並不是新加坡獨有的，大家對於新加坡的監管制度，依然是非常有信心的。不過，這次事件反映了大家對於銀行的依賴性，銀行對於提高與強調客戶資料的保密和安全性，更是責無旁貸。網絡威脅是一個日益重要的課題，這起事件在這時候給大家敲了一記警鐘，希望所有金融機構接下來都能夠提高警惕，無論是銀行本身或是服務承包商都要做好防範措施，避免再後知後覺。迷你倉

To deter trolls and encourage better discourse, the Government's online feedback arm, Reach, will require posters to register.self storage Insight looks at the ramifications.GOING online after work for some relaxing cyber-engagement can turn into a trial for lawyer Yeoh Lian Chuan.Mr Yeoh enjoys posting comments on local sites but sometimes this unleashes vicious replies from others.He has been called a bunch of nasty names and wrongly accused of being paid to post his views.Ironically, he uses his real name to post, unlike the name- callers who hide behind the cloak of anonymity.Yet Mr Yeoh, 44, is unfazed. To adapt to the fast and increasingly furious world of the Internet, he simply makes sure he posts sparingly on forums dominated by those out to upset or anger others."I only post if I feel strongly. If I post a lot, I'll invite a lot of trolls," he says, using the Internet slang for such people.Trolling - and how to deal with it - came under the spotlight two weeks ago when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong rallied Singaporeans to fight back against this problem. Trolls can ruin the tone of online discussions and deter serious participants.The fightback will start with the Government's feedback arm, Reach. From Thursday, a user will have to log in with his Facebook account in order to post on Reach's online forum. Before, no such registration was required.This will widen the space for constructive discourse for Singaporeans, as PM Lee put it.However, while its reach may be limited - Reach admits to having on average just "over 2,000 feedback inputs" a month - the move is seen by some as yet another step by the authorities to rein in speech in cyberspace.It also raises issues of whether other Singapore sites will follow suit, if this will reduce online participation or drive traffic elsewhere, and whether people's privacy will be compromised. Insight logs into the issue.Real names, other solutionsWEBSITES around the world are dealing with the issue of trolls in a range of ways.The extreme reaction by some is to ban comments altogether. Science and technology news website Popular Science did so, saying discussion of topics from climate change to evolution had become too polarised.A more moderate approach has been to require some identification to provide accountability. This includes having to register for an account with the site (news blog The Huffington Post), or having to log in with a social media account like Facebook (sports site ESPN.com) and Google+ (Google's video channel YouTube).In Singapore, other sites have been urged to follow Reach's lead. These would be "responsible, respectable sites which recognise that sensible, hard, tough discussion can take place", said Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam at a forum last week.While Mr Shanmugam and other political leaders have not specified which Singapore sites or online forums could follow Reach's approach, one indicator is the 10 news websites that fall under June's licensing regime changes.Such sites come under the licensing law umbrella if they have a significant reach, attracting at least 50,000 unique visitors from Singapore in a month; they are also required to take down content that breaches certain standards within 24 hours of being notified, and put up a performance bond of $50,000.The 10 sites comprise seven Singapore Press Holdings sites such as straitstimes.com; two at MediaCorp, and Yahoo Singapore.Sociopolitical blog The Online Citizen is not on the list, although in 2011 it became the first website to be gazetted as a political association, with requirements to declare donations.Separately, two websites - The Independent and Breakfast Network - have been asked in recent months to register under the Broadcasting (Class Licence) Notification, which prohibits them from accepting foreign funds.While some of these sites do require Facebook log-ins to post comments, others allow posters to be anonymous or not use their real names.Research in the United States makes a case for removing total anonymity in order to tackle trolling, says Professor Tan Cheng Han, chairman of the government-appointed Media Literacy Council.Earlier this year, the University of Houston found that 53 per cent of comments on sites that allowed anonymous posts were what it termed "uncivil", nearly double the 29 per cent for those that insisted on real names or Facebook comments.Problems with requiring IDBUT requiring identification raises several problems. One concern is that being stricter on identifying commentators could drive users to other sites that are more lax.Another is that people who would in fact add to the discourse may be put off posting if they cannot do so anonymously.On the ramifications of being stricter about identifying posters, The Straits Times editor Warren Fernandez says: "ST websites already require that you give your name and e-mail before you can post a comment. Of course, some might use a pseudonym."We are considering whether to raise the bar and require a slightly more detailed registration process, as some other reputable news sites have done."Yes, this might deter some people from airing their views. But we also know that many people are put off by trolls, and so chose not to join in the discussion. That's unfortunate, as we do want them to feel free to speak their minds, and for our sites to be places for meaningful discussions."We are now gathering feedback from our readers and will decide on how best to proceed when we are ready."One overarching problem is that of safeguarding privacy in a world of hackers and stalkers.This means better security on the part of sites that hold the information, and greater savviness of users about the information they make available online.A related issue is that of people dropping out of commenting because they do not want to risk being identified, perhaps because they still have business dealings with civil servants they are criticising, or they fear losing their jobs if they fault their employer.Also, communication experts such as Singapore Internet Research Centre director Ang Peng Hwa note that people posting without anonymity might risk the ramifications of being misunderstood, in a high-context Asian culture where people tend to read more into what is left unsaid.Institute of Policy Studies research fellow Carol Soon notes, too, that "anonymity may embolden others, who for different reasons do not want to be identified, to speak up against objectionable behaviour".Additionally, sites abroad that have put in place tougher identification policies report an initial drop in the number of comments.Poynter.org, the website of a journalism institute in Florida, reported ESPN.com as saying that when it tried out adding Facebook commenting to a baseball section of its sports website, the volume of comments dropped by a quarter. But the civility of the comments greatly improved, with fewer flagged as inappropriate.The site also saw growth in the number of users extending the conversation into Facebook, creating "a halo effect of bringing traffic back to our site", an EPSN spokesman said.Indee迷利倉, there are other unexpected pluses. An added benefit of driving trolls away by requiring identification is that there will be less need for a posse of dedicated and adroit moderators to sift through offensive comments, either before they are posted or after readers have flagged them.The resources could be better spent on improving reader experience online, engaging them and building community.For Reach's small team of moderators, this would be a plus. Its chairman Amy Khor, who expects an initial drop in comments as people get used to its new log-in policy, is optimistic that more people will join in when they see its online forum as a safe harbour for robust discussions.Crackdown?AMID all this, a larger concern among some netizens is whether the Government, in the wake of the Reach move and its call for other responsible sites to follow suit, is signalling that it will be clamping down on political discourse in cyberspace.The political context matters in Singapore's case because of recent changes such as June's licensing regime changes for news websites and other announcements.The Attorney-General's Chambers is charging blogger Alex Au with contempt of court, for an article he wrote on his blog, Yawning Bread, which the AGC said "contains allegations of wrongdoing by senior judicial officials".Political leaders reject suggestions of a clampdown, saying, for example, that Reach's move does not foreshadow a law to make everyone register; that the Government has always had the legal power to demand the removal of posts; and that only the $50,000 bond that news websites have to put up is new.MP Baey Yam Keng has reckoned that the problem may be more one of how measures are signalled by the Government, and netizens' subsequent perceptions of its intent.He also suggested that an underlying concern of political leaders is to tilt online discussion away from what they perceive as an anti-establishment bias to one that is more balanced.It is not just to make the online space friendlier for people, but also that "those who want to say good things about the Government will feel comfortable enough to say so", he has noted.It will be a tough balancing act for officials who want to receive honest feedback, promote their position and also deal with criticism - unfounded or not.Dr Soon notes that critical but unbalanced opinions still need to surface, as they may shed light on people's concerns and doubts.She says: "Views and opinions occupy a wide spectrum, and the same can be said for critical comments. Some are more objective and others seemingly one-sided, but can be insightful nonetheless."But a line must be drawn and action taken when there is incitement to hurt, a clear breach of a civil right or criminality involved."Associate Professor David Tan, who teaches a course on freedom of speech at National University of Singapore's law faculty, notes that netizens cannot claim an absolute right to freedom of speech on the Internet and express their opinions with impunity, but also cautions about the Government's actions on this aspect.He says: "The ongoing and unenviable challenge for the Government is to find the right balance between encouraging active political participation and chilling citizen engagement in the political process."Some observers argue the Government must be more confident that it can win people over by the merit of its arguments and resort less to measures that could have a chilling effect on political discourse. This will set the political climate for people to participate in online discussion.The Media Literacy Council's Prof Tan says: "Certainly there are those who view that anonymity can promote free and open exchanges. But it can also be abused."Each society will have to decide for itself where and how to draw that balance. Governments also have a role in setting the right tone through their responses to their critics."The importance of the issue can be seen in research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison which suggests that those who read online discussions with "uncivil" language tend to judge the issue based on their pre-existing values rather than the objective information at hand."This could lead to polarised perceptions on issues among different audience segments which hold different values," Prof Tan says.That is cause for concern for governments like Singapore's that place a premium on harmony in a multiracial and multi-religious society, among other things.Educating the communityANOTHER concern is the effectiveness of identification measures. Take Facebook log-ins. Some simply might set up bogus accounts.Duplicate or non-human accounts (such as pets or brands) reportedly make up as much as 10 per cent of all Facebook accounts.A more sustainable way forward, given how quickly technology changes, is to build a community of users who are savvy online and hold others to responsible behaviour.As communications professor Jude Yew of NUS sees it, "the trolling problem is essentially a problem with the design of discussion spaces", an area, he says, in which Singapore sites lag behind others abroad.He cites two websites with anonymous contributors that are viewed as successful discussion spaces: Stackoverflow, where individuals can ask for help on programming problems; and reddit, where individuals can post news items and links of interest.He says: "Some of the interesting and successful features of these discussion sites include cultivating an active community that both moderates discussion and mentors newcomers, voting up posts viewed as meaningful and hiding posts that are not."What I find lacking on many Singapore discussion or comment spaces is the cultivation of an invested and accountable community that is willing to moderate its own discussions."Dr Soon suggests a more sustainable approach of giving people the skills to navigate the online space."People have the power to ignore, speak up, report and if necessary, leave (the group) when they encounter offensive material," he says.Indeed, much online discussion in groups takes place outside of forums, such as among friends on social media platforms, but which could have a wider impact than mere coffeeshop talk.Manager Firdaus Abdul Samad, 37, recently took part in a discussion on his friend's Facebook page about the debate over Malay women not being able to wear the tudung or headscarf at some places of work."I said there's no point to swear at each other and say vulgarities; you must take it positively and be more mannered in your comments. It's about adab," he says, referring to the Islamic term for etiquette and code of conduct.Whatever the solution to trolling and encouraging constructive online discussions may be in Singapore, it is especially important to the nation, given its unique society.Indeed, in an interview on Tuesday with SPH print media including The Straits Times, Communications and Information Minister Yaacob Ibrahim said: "We do not want more pro-establishment views. We want more honest views. And people must be responsible for the views that they give."Few would disagree with that.chinlian@sph.com.sg迷你倉
