Ballooning sheriff's costs shock smaller Weber cities
Source: Standard-Examiner, Ogden, UtahDec.迷利倉 21--OGDEN -- Rising rates have roused rumblings among several of the eight cities that contract with the Weber County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services."It's our biggest issue out here," said Hooper Mayor Korry Green.An estimated 7,722 people reside in Hooper, a largely agricultural community that encompasses 27 square miles of ground. In 2012, the city paid $279,867 for law enforcement. That figure jumped to $350,000 this year, and the proposed rate for the coming fiscal year (2014-15) climbs to $456,035."Moving to $350,000 stretched our budget to the max. I don't know where we can find another $100,000," Green said, noting that city officials have begun exploring alternatives."In theory, they're providing us a full-time police officer around the clock. Maybe we could contract for half an officer, or maybe we could do our own police force."West Haven, with an estimated population of 11,069, now logs the most service calls among the contract cities -- fueled to some extent by two full interchanges for Interstate 15.West Haven's law enforcement costs increased 89 percent -- from $354,000 to $670,000 -- over the past three contract years.Outgoing West Haven Mayor Brian Melaney, who did not seek re-election in November, said the city explored other options last year before accepting the $670,000 contract.Now officials brace for another bump in 2014, to $886,460, a 150 percent increase over four years."They've explained their method of assessing those costs, so we know the reason why," said incoming Mayor Sharon Bolos. "But there is some concern because we have to figure out where the money comes from."West Haven enjoys a robust commercial hub, is debt-free, operates without a city manager and does not levy a property tax, Melaney said.Sheriff Terry Thompson said the county's general fund had been subsidizing law enforcement service to the contract cities for quite some time. That subsidy meant that Weber County taxpayers residing in cities with their own police departments were essentially paying twice, he said."It's taken a lot of years to get worse, and we're trying to fix it in a short time," Thompson said. "At some point, you've got to pull the Band-Aid off."When Thompson took office in January 2011, he set out to revamp the system."The rates had been arbitrary in the past," said Chief Deputy Klint Anderson. "Now they're based on a hybrid formula of population and numbers of calls."In addition to raising contract rates, Anderson said they also trimmed expenses so the county could lower its property tax rate and in hopes that would offset any tax increases the contract cities would have to impose.Thirteen positions were eliminated through attrition, cutting $1 million in personnel costs and trimming the sheriff's law enforcement division to 74 full-time employees.The state average for police coverage is 1.5 officers per 1,000 people, Thompson said, and his law enforcement division now operates with 1.33 officers per 1,000.When next 迷你倉ear's rates kick in, Thompson believes, the contract cities will finally be covering their own costs. But those rates are subject to negotiation as smaller communities wrestle with how to fund their rising public safety needs.In tiny Uintah, where an estimated 1,334 people reside and as few as 420 homes provide property tax, incoming Mayor Lawrence Flitton voiced his concern."We are a very small city and don't have much tax base from businesses," he said. "They have put us in a bind, and we have not been able to work effectively because of their contract."Two years ago, Uintah paid $68,267 for the sheriff's services. That cost rose to $105,336 this year and is expected to increase to $113,990 in 2014.In August, Uintah city officials trimmed their own pay and cut back on maintenance for the community's iconic mountainside "U" to avoid raising taxes to fund public safety.Farr West -- population 6,122 -- had to bite the bullet and hike taxes 166 percent this year to fund increased law enforcement costs, along with a new pedestrian bridge over 2700 North to serve junior high students.Two years ago, the city paid $270,122 for sheriff's services; that cost rose to $333,000 in 2013. Next year, it climbs to $433,813.Sticker shock over the 61 percent bump led Mayor Lee Dickemore to float the idea of creating a metro police department with neighboring communities."It's just in the talking stages," Dickemore said."Personally, I don't have problems with the sheriff, but the prices have escalated."Nearby Marriott-Slaterville, a city of 1,727 residents, is also exploring its options, having seen rates jump from $190,927 in fiscal year 2011-12 to a proposed $243,968 for 2014-15."The council is concerned about escalating costs of law enforcement," City Administrator Bill Morris said, noting that officials had conversed with Farr West about ways to address their mutual dilemma.Alternatives include forming their own police departments, joining with nearby cities or asking the sheriff's office for lower service levels.Like West Haven, Marriott-Slaterville does not levy a property tax.One city, Washington Terrace, saw its contract costs decrease under the new system.It will be paying $749,815 for fiscal year 2014-15."We were already paying the amount that was in line with population and call volume," said City Manager Tom Hanson, "so we ended up with a little bit of a reduction."Anderson touts the sheriff's costs as cheaper per capita than any other police agency and said the department works hard to give each community a tailored menu of service. But Thompson said he has been urging cities not to take the department's word for it."We've encouraged them to do their homework, go through the process and check all the options out there."Contact reporter Cathy McKitrick at 801-625-4214 or cmckitrick@standard.net.

Ayala High father: 'Never any harassment' of cross-country coach
Source: San Bernardino County Sun, Calif.mini storageDec. 21--Chino Hills -- The Ayala High father blamed for driving off a veteran cross country coach denies ever bullying or harassing her."I made zero demands of anybody," Jason Tullai said Thursday. "There was never any harassment of her or her staff whatsoever."Dawn Staab, who had coached cross country for the high school for 16 years, bringing home 11 league titles and taking either the boys' or girls' teams to the state championships eight times, announced her decision at the end of the season. Her two assistant coaches quit as well.Staab said school administrators did not help her or the coaching staff in the face of bullying, harassment and stalking by the parent, which Tullai vehemently denies."I didn't do any inappropriate behavior to anyone at any time," he said.Tullai's daughter Sydney, a sophomore at Ayala, has competed in national championships in track and set the world record time for an 11-year-old running the mile."I had been warned about this parent for five years before he came into this program," Staab said Thursday. "I choose to be neutral with everyone and start fresh."But as a freshman runner at Ayala High, Sydney hit the wall, burning out after a five-year running career."She's seeing her running career plateau," Tullai said, "which is frustrating for her."That's when the trouble began, he said: Tullai reached out to Staab, wanting to discuss Sydney's training regimen, but said he was ignored and he eventually went to the school's athletic director for help.Staab said Tullai was a demanding parent, constantly wanting her to adjust the team's training regimen."He was just 'no, she needs to do this, she needs to do that,'" she said. "It was every day, he had a breakthrough idea. ... I was just getting these emails that were 10 pages long, once a week."According to Tullai, he sent Staab 54 emails in a 12-month period, he said. In that same period, he said, Staab sent him (typically on mass emails to other parents) 406 emails, including seven in one day. He averaged one phone call to Staab a month, he said, many of them simple calls about where a meet or practice was occurring, or letting her know when he was running late."It was an everyday thing all through track and then all through the summer," Staab said.But this fall, things deteriorated further.Tullai pulled up alongside the team as they were running back during practice, he said. He and Sydney were late for a flight to visit his alma mater, the University of Notre Dame, and he called for his daughter to get in the car so they could get to the airport.Staab remembers it differently."One day, he got so angry and he was asking everyone 'Where's Sydney?'" she said Thursday.And that was the day she'd had enough, she said: "Everybody was really shaken up. I went in to my athletic director and said, 'This is crazy, something has to change.'"Under California law, as a coach, Staab is required to report suspected child abuse to the police. Soon, Tullai found himself and his daughter being interviewed by 儲存olice doing a welfare check on his family.Things just got more contentious between the father and the coach after that."He just got more irritated by the minute and demanded meetings every single day," Staab said. "I had 120 kids on the team at that point and he wanted to have meetings every single day."Tullai had a complicated divorce from Sydney's mother, he said, and his part-time custody makes it impossible for his daughter to participate on a club cross country team, rather than the high school team."You can't be a half-time runner," he said.But that messy divorce is also why he can't have bullied Staab, he said: The stakes are too high if he ever steps over the line."I'm the last guy, because I went through child custody (battles), to bully anybody," he said.Tullai denies he stalked anyone involved with the team. With three kids in different schools and different activities, he often finds himself driving back and forth through Chino Hills, he said, crossing paths with the members of the cross country team who are running along the city's streets."You can't avoid that," he said. "That's not stalking."Staab said school officials ignored her pleas for help and told her to call 911 if she was approached by Tullai or felt threatened in any way. She asked for the written complaints she'd previously filed against him so she could turn them over to the police. Administrators no longer had the complaints, she said, and Staab and her assistant coaches were on their own."Suddenly, we were the pariah on campus, because they didn't know what to do and didn't have a plan," she said.At the end of the season pizza party for the team, Staab announced she would be stepping down at the end of the season, citing her relationship with an unnamed parent and the district's lack of help in dealing with him. Although Tullai wasn't named, he said his daughter called him in tears, asking to be picked up as soon as possible, as everyone believed Staab was talking about him and were blaming them for Staab's decision to step down.Tullai denied doing anything wrong."There was never any loud talking with her or the staff," he said. "No aggressive, threatening conversations -- zero."A job listing for a new cross country coach at Ayala High will be posted "early in the new year," according to Chino Valley Unified spokeswoman Julie Gobin on Thursday.Staab has no intention of returning to the role, she said."I don't leave just to be asked back. I'm not coming back," she said.But that doesn't preclude her moving her program to another high school: Staab said she's been approached by several other schools."I just want to take a step back and think about what it is (I want) and where I'm going from here," she said.Tullai hopes the school and cross country team can start over."I'm hoping for all the best, for the kids, for my daughter," he said.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the San Bernardino County Sun (San Bernardino, Calif.)

成渝直飛澳洲航線“聯姻” 打造西部赴澳最佳通道
昨日,迷你倉將軍澳川航開通重慶直飛悉尼航線。該條直飛澳洲航線,將與成都直飛墨爾本航線一起,改變以往赴澳洲借道“北上廣”的局面,從而打造中國西部地區最佳赴澳通道。同時,為了方便成渝兩地旅客享受到最佳赴澳通道,川航恢複開通了成都至重慶航線,每周往返各兩班,單程機票票價為50元。據瞭解,川航昨日開通的該條航線,結束了西部地區飛悉尼借道“北上廣”的歷史。重慶至悉尼航線每周二、五各一班,首航航班採用空客A330機型執飛。航班北京時間01:05從重慶起飛,當地時間14:00抵達悉尼,全程約11個小時。航線將使往返兩地旅客無須在國內外其他城市中轉,最大程度節約旅客的時間和費用,當地時間14:00抵達悉尼後,旅客當天便可進行商旅活動。今年2月底,川航率先開通了成都至墨爾本國際航線。川航有關負責人稱,由於成渝之間往來便利,成都至墨爾本航線與重慶至悉尼航線將形成互補,旅客可以選擇任意一條航線進出澳大利亞。川航將發揮自身在西部地區的航線網絡優勢,帶動四迷你倉尖沙咀、重慶、雲南、貴州、陝西、西藏等地區的赴澳商旅市場,將成都至墨爾本、重慶至悉尼兩條航線打造成為西部地區飛往澳大利亞的最佳通道。為了方便成渝兩地旅客選擇乘坐成都至墨爾本、重慶至悉尼航線,享受到赴澳的快捷通道,川航于本月19日恢複開通了成都至重慶的航線。這是成渝航線停航4年後再次複航。早在幾年前,成渝動車介入兩地之間的客運交通市場後,兩個多小時的動車交通時間和較低的動車票價,逐漸使成渝兩地空中航線失去競爭優勢。在成渝動車和成渝大巴車的兩重衝擊下,成渝航班客源上座率一天比一天低,成渝兩地空中航線于2009年11月正式停航。恢複開行的成渝航線,每周一、四各往返一趟,由空客A330執飛,與飛悉尼的客機為同一客機,該航班實際上是與飛悉尼的航班套飛。22:10從成都起飛,當天23:05抵達重慶;返程,早上6:45從重慶起飛,7:35飛抵成都。單程飛行時間不足1個小時。成渝航線的單程票價(不含稅費)僅為50元。蔡超 高昂 本報記者 楊富mini storage

省17億成本 券商指妙�
【拆局】李澤楷斥189億元收購CSL,mini storage證券界認為不算十分便宜,但交易除可令他即時擁有逾100MHz的頻譜外,更可省回明年競投頻譜的資金,及消除2016年向政府交還頻譜的不明朗因素,在商業角度看是妙�。「同政府打官司都慳埋」港府明年擬向每電訊商收回10MHz的3G頻譜重新拍賣,由於富可敵國的紅色資本中移動早表態有意競投,香港電訊要投得頻譜成本肯定不輕;再者公司另外20MHz的頻譜亦需於2016年續牌,最高成本達17.2億元。self storage業界人士形容,香港電訊透過收購CSL,以一個可以計算的成本,大幅增加頻譜資源,絕對值得,「做生意最忌計唔到數,?家佢(李澤楷)連同政府打官司�錢都慳埋」。由於少了一個對手,仍然「在場」的四大電訊商都是贏家,要數輸家應該就是澳洲電訊商Telstra(見圖),當年公司收購CSL後大幅減值,即使Telstra昨表示今次出售錄得6億澳元盈利(約41.43億港元),但有關盈利只屬非現金性收入,公司在港多年,最終歸於平淡撤離。《蘋果》記者迷你倉

《蘋果》抽驗後勁溪魚 重金屬未超標 專家仍呼籲暫勿食用
【吳慧芬、陳宏瑞╱高雄報導】日月光K7廠污染後勁溪風暴未歇,迷你倉消費者對後勁溪沿岸的農產品及下游、出海口一帶魚穫都抱持疑慮,《蘋果》本月12日分別從魚市場、出海口及附近魚塭採集4條魚送驗,結果顯示,部分魚種檢出微量的汞、鉛等重金屬,不過都在安全食用範圍內。但毒物科醫師認為,此次送驗的都屬小型魚,體內本來就比較不易殘留重金屬,在日月光污染風暴未解除前,民眾最好仍暫勿食用鄰近後勁溪出海口的魚。 送驗的魚都是來自後勁溪流域附近,一條從蚵仔寮漁港購得的鐵甲魚,是在援中港近海捕獲;另外有虱目魚和烏仔魚各一條,是從後勁溪出海口附近的釣客取得;一條鱸魚則是從典寶溪旁一處魚塭的養殖戶現撈取得。 4條都含微量鎳 《蘋果》本月12日將上述四款魚送至台灣檢驗科技公司(SGS)化驗,結果顯示鐵甲魚迷你倉樂器微量的汞,虱目魚與鱸魚含微量的鉛,但含量均在衛生署訂定的《水產動物類衛生標準》規定範圍內。不過,四條魚都有驗出微量的鎳,與環保局查獲日月光K7廠違法排放廢水所含的重金屬相同。但目前《水產動物類衛生標準》對鎳並無訂定國家標準。林口長庚醫院臨床毒物科主治醫師顏宗海指出,一般來說,小型魚因為食物鏈與壽命較短等因素,本來就比較不容易殘留重金屬。顏宗海建議,在日月光污染風暴疑雲未消除前,後勁溪出海口附近的魚,民眾應暫勿食用。 灌溉前先驗水質 高雄市環保局曾經在本周一公布後勁溪下游農地的銅、鋅重金屬檢測值,結果顯示,達到監測標準。農業局副局長柯尚余表示,會加強監測該區域農地,但因尚未達到需管制的停耕標準,下個月展開的一期稻作仍會如期進行,但在引用後勁溪水灌溉前,會先進行水質的重金屬檢測。迷你倉西貢

福特EcoSport體驗輕越野
都會輕休旅 外型前衛 在福特KUGA上市後,迷利倉在台灣上市10多年的Escape功成身退。不過,KUGA挾著EcoBoost節能引擎及許多先進科技配備,在售價上遠高於Escape,為在「負擔得起」的SUV市場區塊裡有施力點,於是有了EcoSport的新選擇,雖然是從印度進口,但福特六和強調組裝品質都依外銷歐美的規格標準進行,與印度本土市場有所不同。 全新EcoSport雖然在價位上頂替Escape的位置,但光從外型及尺寸就可清楚看出2款車的不同定位。EcoSport秉持著福特Kinetic 2.0設計概念,以都會時尚為出發點,前衛外型就是要吸引路人及鄰車目光,像是車頭那極為誇張的八角式樣水箱護罩,有如豐脣的美女,車尾掛著如今SUV車款已極少強調的備胎,似乎正提醒路人EcoSport的休旅車格,就像是背著越野行囊的都會小車,模樣極度高調。 小巧靈活 安全不馬虎 在先前福特發發布的EcoSport訊息裡總提到是搭載1.0升EcoBoost引擎的小型都會休旅車,不過引進台灣的車款並不是搭載這款經典引擎,因為此款車型只有手排版本,不適合台灣市場,引進的是搭載1.5 升TiVCT雙可變汽門正時引擎。 EcoSport搭載的1.5升引擎有112匹馬力及14.27公斤米的扭力,搭配PowerShift雙離合器6速自手排系統,平均油耗可達每公升14.9公里,充分發揮小車的經濟特性。光看數字就感覺出不是太猛爆的動力,在都會中行駛感受接近一般中小型房車,不以爆發力見長,小巧靈活的車身搭配重新調校的Fiesta B2E底盤與電子動力輔助轉向系統,低速操控性佳,在巷弄間行駛更如魚得水,加上車身較高,駕著EcoSport有著比一般房車更高的視野,都會各轉角的驚喜都充分映入眼簾。 儘管定位為都會輕休旅,但也別因此小看EcoSport,在PowerShift 6速自手排變速箱的加持下還是能發揮足夠的駕馭樂趣,車身擁有20分離地高度、涉水深度可達55公分,離開迷你倉會區來場輕越野,還是有讓人讚許的表現。 此外,福特不因車小就犧牲安全配備,高硬度複合式硼鋼車身及標配6具SRS安全氣囊,展現福特對安全的堅持,其他如ESP電子車身動態穩定系統、TCS循跡控制系統可幫助駕駛者在緊急狀況下穩定控制車輛;ABS防鎖死煞車系統、EBD電子煞車力道分配與EBA煞車力道輔助系統則提升車輛於濕滑路面的制動力。值得一提的是,小車中少見的HSA鈄坡起步輔助也在EcoSport的安全配備中,在上、下坡路段起步時,能自動保持制動達3秒鐘,有效提高安全性。 聲控操作 收納一把罩 一進入EcoSport車室就有總似曾相識的感覺,中控台的造型與按鍵陳設都有福特的一貫風格,在所試駕的都會尊貴版本中還配備了與微軟合作的SYNC中文娛樂通訊整合系統,一方面可透過藍牙、USB及Aux-in等方式與各種播放設備連結,也可同步手機裡的通訊錄以免持方式撥打電話,當然也少不了用聲控方式操作各種功能,科技味相當濃。 雖然定位在都會小車,但EcoSport都會尊貴版的頂級備配確實不少,像是KeyLess車門啟閉系統、電子恆溫空調、方向盤音響控制鍵與定速巡航控制、自動防眩車內後視鏡及雨滴感應式雨刷都不缺。至於在滿足休旅需求部分,一方面在車內提供多達20處的置物空間,相當討好女性車主;另一方面後座椅6/4分離、可調椅背座椅設計,創造極富彈性的後行李廂空間運用,在一輛小車上最多可把後行李廂容量從原本的346公升擴大至705公升,增添EcoSport不少魅力。 Ford EcoSport 車款都會時尚型都會尊貴型 引擎1.5升16V TiVCT自然進氣雙可變汽門正時汽油引擎 動力輸出值112ps/6300rpm 14.27kg-m/4400rpm 變速箱PowerShift 雙離合器6速自手排 尺寸諸元4241(長)X1765(寬)X1658(高) 軸距2521mm 售價69.9萬元74.9萬元 製表╱史榮恩 資料來源福特六和▉聯合報自存倉

失落免費電視牌照後,儲存有魔童之稱的香港電視主席王維基昨日宣布,以一億四千二百多萬元收購中移動子公司股權後,正式轉而發展流動電視及網上電視,只要在智能手機、平板電腦加上接收器,便可收看港視三至五條頻道,明年七月正式開台搞免費電視,包括廿四小時新聞台。王維基直言沒有與中方及任何港府官員接觸,將會雙�發展網上及流動電視,料廣告收益足以維持經營,並重聘早前被遣散的三百二十人,未來兩年續增聘一千人。王維基以一億四千二百二十萬元,全部收購中移動全資擁有的子公司CMHKCL股權,透過內部資源支付公司股權連同所擁有的流動電視頻譜。重出江湖的王維基,昨在法律顧問及財務總裁黃雅麗陪同下召開記者 會。王維基指,將利用收購得到的流動電視頻譜推流動電視服務,以及利用Over-The-Top(OTT)發展網上電視,可收看港視直播及點播節目。1.4億收購中移動子公司他指,市民只須花一百至八百元購買一個接收器,接駁到智能手機、平板電腦、手提電腦、汽車流動電視,甚至家中智能電視便可收看。他將推三至五條直播頻道,包括廿四小時新聞台及綜藝劇集頻道,餘下三條仍在構思,但本已有外購劇,仍考慮會否播放,部分會收費,水平仍未構思,他表示會進軍內地及國際市場。同時,他於未來數月會重聘在十月時遣散的三百二十名員工歸隊,重新展開製作,預計明年七月開台正式「出街」。今次花一億四千多萬元收購外,早前已動用二億元購入將軍澳工業地,未來數月將投資數迷你倉元建大樓及錄影廠,明年開拍一�劇集,至一六年投產二�劇集,每天會有六小時綜藝及資訊性節目播放。王:收購無接觸中聯辦經歷過免費電視牌照風波後,王維基指,今次收購並無接觸過中聯辦、內地、港府官員去進行,今次是純商業決定,與政治無關,他早年初已開始斟洽收購,更直言日後新聞台自主,不會被「河蟹」。他強調,現仍有超過二十一億元資金可用,流動電視花費不多,今次亦不是中移動蝕讓,十五年牌照期是由一○年起,現尚餘十一年八個月多時間可用,至二○二五年八月底結束,亦不受《廣播條例》規管,只受一般法例及流動電視守則規管,顯得較彈性靈活。曾揚言對網上電視興趣不大的王維基指,只做網絡電視廣告收益不足,但流動電視將有很好收益,且使用大氣電波可供質素高及穩定服務,又認為流動電視發展機會大。而且不受光纖限制,亦免卻因司法覆核引起不穩定疑慮,令團隊可專心一致製作節目。但王維基強調,不會放棄爭取免費電視及司法覆核,並將很快會提出。不放棄免費電視覆核他指,爭取一個有自由、有自主電視台,較爭取一個免費電視台更為逼切,他會就無�申請香港電視作專利提出反對,下周亦會為所推的流動電視及網上電視,構思推出一個名字。通訊局發言人回應指,已收到中移動通知,將持有的傳送者牌照,構成《電訊條例》7P條的傳送者轉變,當局未來兩周會展開調查,若構成大幅削減電訊市場競爭效果,是多於公眾利益,通訊局可指示持牌人採取行動消除或防止有關後果。記者 :張一華儲存倉

2014丟路姆西潮點
2014年又就快到,自存倉要日日對住狼英政府的確悶爆,想明年過得更加精采,綜合方方面面的意見,以下十個是我們提議2014年必去的旅遊景點,重中之重就是帶埋一丟爆紅的神獸路姆西(又名路福西)暢遊世界各地,勢要將代表香港精神的路姆西,丟得更加遠。路姆西成名之路 路姆西其實是IKEA一隻豺狼毛公仔,原名「Lufsig」,是「毛公仔助學行動」一員,公仔靈感來自《小紅帽》童話,將��及小紅帽吃掉的豺狼。 大陸的IKEA將Lufsig音譯「路姆西」,似粵語粗口 。12月7日,社民連成員曾浚瑛及陳德章把「路姆西」掉向出席地區論壇的梁振英,結果公仔一擲成名,在全港更被搶購一空。及後大陸IKEA急急補鑊,將路姆西改名為路福西。 1. 帶路姆西上太空 路姆西一係唔去,一去就要衝出地球,在太空無重狀態下,唔使掟已經識飛。路姆西最好由香港人帶上太空。唔係講笑,明年真有咱們香港人上太空,他就是「鞋王」鄧劍群幼子鄧偉賢喇!「我都會帶樣�上太空,拎返香港做慈善拍賣。(考唔考慮帶路姆西去?)帶佢去會好難做生意!你不如問下黎智英,有無興趣帶《壹週刊》同《蘋果日報》上太空啦!」原本幫Daddy打理家族生意的Alex(鄧的洋名),今年中識了在荷蘭搞太空旅遊的SXC(Space Expedition Corporation)行政總裁Michiel Mol,決定唔做鞋,轉做太空旅遊生意,投資8位數字,做SXC亞洲區代理,自己更行先死先上太空,暫定明年第三季試航。「年輕人(他38歲,已婚,育兩子兩女)要勇往直前,最緊要行先,死唔死唔重要,最緊要榮耀地死。」為了上太空,他已經去了荷蘭SXC模擬駕駛艙,感受上落太空時的4G引力(G Force)。「就好似賽車壓背的感覺,有3、4個人壓住你頭頂和膊頭咁。」 太空5分鐘 Alex話,整個太空旅程由香港來往委內瑞拉的庫拉索島太空站基地要6日,乘太空船5分鐘就可由地面上升到103公里,到達地球和太空的分界卡門線,停留5至6分鐘,感受無重狀態,慢慢返回地面。成個行程約1小時,睇到三分一個地球(中南美洲)。無聽錯呀得5分鐘!「上多幾分鐘對體格要求又高好多,就算上去一個鐘,睇到的都是一樣,左邊黑漆漆右邊是地球,又唔係太空人要上去搞人造�星!」Alex隻太空船只載一個客人和機師,所以客人會做埋副機師。「好似Cool魔咁幫手望下掣。現在已有一男一女的CEO報名,因為私隱不能透露太多。」 始終是新,好多客人擔心安全問題。「驚好似電影《引力邊緣》咁返唔到地球,但放心我們會有太空衣保護,有咩事都有氧氣提供!」歷年好多太空騙案,今年初「火星一號」的移民計劃有8萬人報名,註冊公司地址竟是民居;90年代也有3間公司搞太空旅遊都失敗,怎說服客人不是另一個騙案?「我們的太空船已經ready,又請�全球第二位上月球的太空人Buzz Aldrin 助陣,無呃你。」他希望首航還有更多中國人參與,參加者只要年滿18歲以上,無心臟病無懷孕或幽閉恐懼症,而最最最緊要係要有錢,因為成個太空套餐盛惠$168萬(註一)。Alex唔會帶路姆西,建議各方籌旗俾《忽周》記者,集腋成裘,本人定當帶神獸衝出地球,為各位完成任務。 註一:超豪$168萬太空體驗包括:1. 入住一晚香港半島酒店,然後坐勞斯萊斯來往香港機場;2. 乘私人飛機往返香港及加勒比海庫拉索島太空站,4晚當地5星酒店;3. 乘太空船太空漫遊,成個行程約1小時。(另有平民價$78萬套餐,要自行去當地) 2. 齊齊追蹤北極熊 成日俾人掟,路姆西跟同樣面對生活困境的北極熊,迷你倉謂同病相憐,好應該互相問候下。據年中去過北極的旅遊達人曾劍華說,北極熊因地球暖化,冰川融化,依家企都無碇企,要游水去好遠地方覓食。除了去搵北極熊,美國太空總署亦指,現在是太陽活動循環的高峰期,從現在到明年四月,將是近半世紀觀賞北極光的最佳時機,咁有紀念價值的時刻,又點可以無路姆西份呢? 3. 巴西丟盡路姆西 《Lonely Planet》剛選了巴西是2014年最佳旅遊國家,因為世界盃明年6月12日就在巴西揭幕,帶路姆西去睇波,定必high爆!不過,上屆有辦世界盃旅行團的康泰都話未知�到幾多張門票,暫時未有出團資料,其他旅行社亦未必搞世界盃團,弊!《忽周》建議各位提早2月中出發,踢路姆西去巴西,在一年一度的巴西嘉年華「舉西」起舞,又或留待世界盃時,球迷睇得激動,都可以丟出去洩憤! 4. 去馬拉大戰Angry Birds 以前香港是四小龍之首,依家馬來西亞都爬過我�頭,成為全亞洲唯一入選《Lonely Planet》2014年十大最佳旅遊國家,馬來西亞新景點如全東南亞最大雀鳥園,Legoland和Hello Kitty Land等相繼落成。明年5月還有個室內Angry Birds主題樂園,約佔地26,000平方呎,香港都唔知幾時先有路姆西主題樂園,輸晒! 5. 到荷蘭賀國王節 荷蘭每年4月30日就是女王節,但以後歷史要改寫!唔係有人搞革命,係去年女王Queen Beatrix退位俾長子亞歷山大後,女王節以後將變成國王節,日子就訂在國王生日4月27日。每年女王節,荷蘭都變成橙海,人民會�橙色衫出街慶祝,當日在跳蚤市場擺賣更唔使申請和交稅,大家在街上賣路姆西都唔怕俾差人圍! 6. 坐港鐵去中聯辦 你未必有錢帶路姆西出埠,但做人最緊要係有心,在香港丟亦得。像明年港鐵的西港島線將會通車,由上環貫通西營盤,大學至堅尼地城,最正是西營盤站的奇靈里出口,行幾分鐘就可以到我們最愛的中聯辦,以後到那�BBQ就唔使由維園行去咁辛苦!除了中聯辦,據港鐵土木工程師靚仔Joe(黃覺明)所講,今次三個站各有特色,好似西營盤站會好有藝術氣質,因為擺放好多本地藝術家的作品;而大學站深70米,由12部𨋢接駁山頂到山腳,最高有35層樓高,是全港最深的洞穴式車站,做埋防空洞都得;堅尼地城站則重視環境保護,像科士街那幅樹牆會保留唔拆,他日帶西西來玩亦不錯。 7. 當路姆西遇上樹熊 講開熊,大家定會懷念路姆西的舊友Dream Bear。Dream Bear呢年少露面,不過明年想探Bear,你可以去海洋公園。此Bear不同彼Bear,是cute好多的Koala Bear樹熊。南澳洲政府明後年會送8隻維多利亞省樹熊來香港,由南半球移民來北半球唔係講笑,海洋公園當然要起間豪宅招呼貴賓啦!不過,海洋公園話樹熊館還在建設中,現階段可提供的資料唔多。只知樹熊最鍾意夾住棵尤加利樹,所以樹熊館內會種滿尤加利樹,還在廣州設立種植場,以滿足一隻樹熊一生要食一千棵尤加利樹的需要。 8,9,10. 全球高潮在中環 你無睇錯,最後三個景點都在中環。政改若傾唔掂數,佔中行動明年7月就揭幕,解放軍會否解放中環,都是未知之數,唯一肯定是呢單新聞一定蜚聲國際!作為香港人,無理由唔掉路姆西賀一賀!與此同時,中環新海濱明年會建維港摩天輪,佔中佔得累可以坐下,又或行上荷李活道的三級歷史建築物——已婚警察宿舍,事關那�改為創意中心,新名叫「PMQ元創方」,明年初免費開放,中心設有地下展示廊,重現前中央書院地基遺蹟,俾路姆西提升文化素質都好。mini storage

新加坡
The Porsche 918 Spyder delivers speed once never believed possible in a road carIt is difficult at first to describe the Porsche 918 Spyder, the most recent in a long and illustrious line of supercars to come from the fevered minds at Zuffenhausen.mini storageFor one thing, its plug-in hybrid drivetrain is mind-bendingly complex, to say nothing of the colossal 887bhp it can produce.Despite that, it has a CO2 emission figure of just 72g/km and it consumes only 3 litres of fuel per 100km (better than the hybrid Toyota Prius' 3.9 litres/100km), primarily because it can run for 30km on electric power alone.Then, there is its price tag. At €768,026 (S$1.3 million), it is nearly four times as expensive as a 911 Turbo S, which already costs around $1 million here.Most importantly, Porsche cars of the forseeable future will surely look to the 918 for cues, in terms of engineering and styling.To be sure, "the future of the sports car", as it is touted, is searingly quick. Nothing quite prepares you for the combined 887bhp it packs from its two electric motors (one at each axle) and a 4.6-litre V8 lifted almost wholesale from the Porsche RS Spyder racecar.Zero to 100kmh takes a scant 2.6 seconds, and in 7.3 seconds, it would have reached 200kmh from a standstill.If you were expecting a car like that to be quite a handful, then you would be quite mistaken. In spite of its monstrous power, the 918 is surprisingly easy to drive quickly, and curiously undramatic in the way it delivers its extreme performance. Brake late and marvel at how the carbon-ceramic brakes shed speed, steer the 918 via the uncannily accurate helm and, finally, gawp in amazement at the traction the car manages to gain as you fire out of the corner.All the while, the 918 feels positively nailed to the tarmac, with the biggest surprise being not so much its pace but its mid-c迷你倉rner grip. Never have I driven a car with this much poise and composure, a sensation we would imagine is akin to driving a full-blown racecar.The reason for all that intuitiveness is a fiendishly complex drivetrain, something that project leader Frank Walliser and his team worked on for nearly all of the 918's three-year development cycle.Indeed, fine-tuning work was still being done up to the last minute, with the latest iteration of the software rolled out just a week before I drove the car.According to Dr Walliser, the programming for the 918's powertrain software requires about 40,000 data labels, nearly three times that in a regular car.Part of the reason for that complexity is that the electric motor in the front axle works autonomously, with the coordination between that and the electric motor/combustion engine in the rear controlled purely by electronics.Couple that with how the 918 has active aerodynamics that can be altered for maximum downforce or minimum drag, plus torque vectoring that can send power to an individual wheel, and you have what is arguably the most complex supercar on sale today.It could also be the quickest - the 918 currently holds the lap record of 6 minutes 57 seconds on the fearsome 20km Nurburgring racetrack, a place that Dr Walliser says is where the true measure of a sports car's worth is gauged. It beat the previous record by 14 seconds, clocking a sub-seven-minute timing that was once considered impossible in a road car.What is also impossible: driving a 918 here. Not one of the 918 units to be built in a limited-production run will be produced in right-hand-drive form.This is a pity, because Porsche has built a car that, three decades from now, we will still look back on in absolute awe.stlife@sph.com.sgThe writer is associate editor of Torque, a motoring monthly published by SPH Magazines.文件倉

Petrotech Oil and Gas Inc. Enters Into Agreement for Distribution of Biodegradable Products in Texas
BEDFORD, Texas, December 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --PetroTech Oil and Gas Inc.文件倉 (the "Company" or Petrotech") today announced that they are entering into an agreement with DSS Oil Services Inc. to distribute their new biodegradable products in Texas. Petrotech will be setting up a subsidiary company and structure to accommodate the addition of their added business."DSS has given us the opportunity to not only utilize their new innovations in biodegradable products with our own work, but hey have given us the opportunity to become distributors as well, and an opportunity to participate in the growth of their company," said Eddie Schilb president of Petrotech Oil and Gas. "This gives us the ability to be ahead of any other company by being able to provide environmentally safe biodegradable products with our own use and another means of increasing other areas of revenue. We will providing more information on this new development as we progress," he added.About DSS Oil Services:Dolezal-Southward Oil Services USA, LLC has been started by Cameron Dolezal and Dean Southward, the 2 senior principals of the Company. Cameron and Dean have petroleum engineering backgrounds and have successfully implemented and run more than $30 billion of projects for Marathon Oil and Devon Energy together with the successful completion of more than 700 wells.The Company was formed as a Services company for hydraulic fracturing to be run by experienced field engineers and to market and develop green non-toxic and superior performing chemicals for drilling and completions to the oil and gas industry.DS Oil Services has been working with AI Sealing, an existing chemical company within this area in the development of these non-toxic chemicals for the oil and gas industry. AI Sealing had approximately$28 million in sales in 2012 and increasing sales this year with existing oil customers, including Baker Hughes and C&J Well Services.DS Oil Services and AI Sealing agreed to form a new company together, DS Oil Supply with each company owning 50% of the new company and having Exclusive rights to sell the 200+ proprietary formulas owned by AI Sealing together with new products being developed.In addition to already having the best performing Biocide in the oil and gas market which is also non-toxic, DS has recently developed and introduced a new "food grade" fracking gel which is a significant improvement over anything on the market. It is food grade, performs better, and is priced much less than any other gel on the market. In addition, they have also just introduced the first non-toxic and non-corrosive friction-reducer on the market, something that everyone in the business thought would be impossible. This friction reducer performs better than anything else available and it is non-toxic.Cameron and his associates have put their focus over the recent months and their immediate focus into finishing the development and testing of these chemicals and getting them into the market. They are also finishing the planning and preparation for the expanded manufacturing. The company now has 2 locations in Houston and can handle the anticipated 4 million gallons per month with no problem together with built in expansion above this.These chemicals have all gone through third party testing and have been tested and approved by the customers in their own labs as well. These chemicals have been confirmed to significantly outperform the other chemicals on the market, they are all non-toxic, and our pricing is up to 50% less than the other inferior and toxic chemicals on the market. For example, our customers, including majors have been paying $23 to $26 per gallon for biocide whereas ours is $12.5 per gallon and our biocide outperforms everything else on the market.The fact that our chemicals are all non-toxic, perform better, and save these companies money puts us into a very good position. The non-toxicity solves all kinds of life/safety issues for the workers that may have contact with toxic chemicals and also avoids issues with shipping of toxic materials including special permits that are required. Many of the larger companies are "unbundling" their chemical purchasing and starting to control the purchasing process rather than individual service companies. This is very positive for us.We have been approved by and are processing procurement requests with Shell, Conoco Phillips, Weatheford, Exxon-XTO, Chevron, IOC, CUDD, Archer, Schlumberger, and many others, and are continuing to sell to Baker Hughes etc.There were mo存倉e than 47,000 wells drilled last year and this was only inside the U.S.; each of these wells requires the purchase of $150,000 up to $500,000 of chemicals, making this an extremely large market. The International market is also expanding quickly as shale areas around the world are starting to be exploited.About PetroTech:PetroTech Oil and Gas, Inc. uses multiple patent technologies for Enhanced Oil Recovery and in some cases will use their new pumping system co developed by PetroTech. We will use this patented technology with other proven technologies currently used in the industry to drill, complete equip new drill wells and older wells with secondary production opportunities. Throughout the United States there are primary depleted oil reservoirs representing billions of barrels of oil that lend themselves to the use and exploitation of Enhanced Oil Recovery and PetroTech Oil and Gas, Inc.'s proven patented technology. Without EOR technology, these reservoirs will produce only about 20% of their Original Oil in Place. Gas injection EOR is a proven method that has been in use over the last 50 years in the oil fields of West Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Wyoming and Oklahoma. Starting in the late 1990's we started researching various EOR methods and sources of gases and mixtures of gases to find an alternative gas to pure CO2 for EOR. In doing so, we found that a N2-CO2 mixture was 2-3 times more efficient than CO2 in the recovery of stranded oil. Recently we have been introduced to a patented exhaust unit that was more efficient than regular CO2. A new prototype of that equipment was then built for injection purposes; and is in the process of being further developed for commercial use.We have analyzed the different types of oil producing reservoirs in most of the major geological basins in the United States and have determined that the use of our process and method will enhance the recovery of stranded oil reserves in these areas that otherwise may never be produced. The pinnacle reefs, other reefs in Texas make excellent reservoirs for EOR because they are compact, have consistent reservoir properties, thick pay columns, and are overlain by an impermeable cap seal. However other formations have responded favorably as well. These reservoirs represent over 300 million barrels of recoverable stranded oil using our patented method and technology. CO2 floods have been successful on the reefs in the US with rates as high as 1000 BOPD. Our process will have a major impact on the recovery of stranded oil in U.S. basins. This statement is based on the fact that we have an unlimited source of gas and we do not need an expensive infrastructure to transport the gas, plus the fact that it is proven that a mixture of CO2 and N2 is more efficient than CO2 in some trials.The cost and recovery of a project will be dependent on size of structure and depth; the cost will range depending on type of formation and type of treatment design. Hopefully, per project we will capture an additional 20% to 40% of oil in place. Attempting to do this in a period of 5 years as opposed to the original 20% of oil that has already been produced; which may have taken ten to twenty years. Each successful project is estimated to have a six to twelve month payout.For more information please go to our websites, which can be found at: petrotechog.comCertain information discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the federal securities laws.

“節儉風”吹“瘦”年會 北京酒店大打團購牌
中新網北京12月21日電 (記者 尹力)歲末將至,文件倉往年這個時段,北京各大酒店都會迎來年會預訂的高峰,一些高端會所甚至“一日難求”。今年,隨著中央出台厲行節約措施,北京多家酒店的年會預訂量大幅下降,年會“瘦身”成了新時尚:場所從豪華酒店變為簡樸的單位內部會議室,菜品由昂貴海鮮變身實惠家常菜,外請演員捧場改為員工自娛自樂…… 中新社記者日前採訪北京多家星級酒店、年會策劃公司相關負責人,他們多對今年的年會市場“一聲嘆息”,表示接到的年會訂單相較往年大幅減少?。採訪中,有負責人稱,往年企業“不差錢”,年會花費數十萬是常見,不少企業還請來明星助陣。“今年即使已經預訂酒店的企業,也很難出現大場面”。一家策劃公司的負責人表示,年會經濟已形同“雞肋”,公司已將業務重點轉到品牌策劃以及個人婚慶策劃等方向。 據瞭解,北京多家政府部門、科研機構、高校等事業單位今年都取消了各種類型的年終總結會、座談會、聯歡會。許多國資背景的企業,即便辦年會,也多選擇縮減開支,下調餐費標準,取消娛樂項目並縮短會期。? 某企業公關部負責人表示,為答謝客戶和開拓業務,年會是不能免的,但預算相較去年有所降低。?一經營多年的餐飲業者透露,一些公司的“尾牙”宴席照擺,但菜品明顯下降,“原汁鮑魚”改“水煮魚”,“蒜蓉粉絲扇貝”改“鐵板牛仔骨”,再難見到滿桌的存倉鮮盛宴。? 在一家國有大型企業工作的王先生告訴記者,往年單位年會都開個兩三天,偶爾會選擇到郊區泡溫泉、滑雪、KTV唱歌,也可能發放一些超市購物卡。今年估計是集中到單位會議室開個茶話會,“每人帶個菜,中午吃‘百家飯'”。 在“節儉消費”的風尚下,不少高檔酒店及高消費娛樂場所調整營業思路,“放下身段”走起“親民”路線,以定制化產品拓展本地高收入消費者,開發婚宴、生日宴等大�餐飲市場,同時通過降價、團購等促銷方式攬客“過冬”。 北京近郊的度假村或酒店,往年都是企業單位舉辦年會的首選之地,提前預訂還不一定能排上檔期,今年這些地方卻人氣大減。在知名團購網站上,不難發現拉菲特城堡酒店、九華山莊等北京知名度假酒店的名字,不少溫泉度假村的打折幅度達到3至4折,受到不少網友青睞。其中,拉菲特城堡酒店推出低至2折的雙人平日套餐,人均花費不足230元人民幣,上線後銷出近300份。 在北京一家事業單位工作的付小姐坦言,今年單位取消了例行的酒店年會,她第一次“自掏腰包”,和好友一起團購了溫泉度假村套票,“價錢挺實惠的,年底正好和朋友聚聚”。 有酒店負責人表示,雖然公款消費大幅減少,但北京本地的自費消費市場仍然非常強勁,高收入人群追求提升生活質量,其消費水平也在穩步上升。酒店只要堅持優質服務,打出品牌效應,同樣可以招徠穩定客源。(完)儲存
