警察公共關係科(PPRB)積極鞏固警隊的形象，新蒲崗迷你倉主要責任是經常與社區及傳媒的聯繫，向公眾提供有關警隊的資訊，使公眾維持對治安高度的信心，以鼓勵公眾協助警隊維持治安。由總警司黃國偉擔任該科主管這兩年間，更全速改善資訊發布系統。據了解，該科終極目標是於今年底推出一個「互動平台」，把所有案件簡報統一放在一電子平台，供傳媒及時得悉，記者並可在有關罪案信息處加上符號，以示有採訪興趣，警方將盡量發布更多信息協助採訪。總警司黃國偉於2011年9月擔任PPRB主管至今，構思不少新猷，成績亮麗，備受讚賞；同時與傳媒緊密聯繫，在能力所及下盡量提供警方資訊和罪案的最新信息，故在傳媒圈中贏得有「黃大仙」的美譽--有求必應。當然，由於罪案信息內容較為敏感，這位警隊「黃大仙」面對敏感資料也守口如瓶，但一定會回覆記者的查詢電話，不會杳如黃鶴，記者曾笑言，黃Sir是「有開工，無收工」的警務人mini storage，無論多夜，黃Sir都會回覆緊急查詢。主管黃國偉盡責受稱許傳媒與PPRB緊密互動，源於自從警方早年轉用數碼無線電通訊系統後，突發記者已不能再靠「靠機」來等得知何處有罪案發生，很多時要等候PPRB 發稿通知。PPRB在黃國偉主政期間，全速開拓發布突發罪案信息系統，包括發放採訪通知時新增四項資料(如交通意外，涉及受傷人數、車輛，其他亦有被捕人數或有多少武器等)、設立新熱線讓傳媒投選最關注新聞供優先發放、以電郵取代傳真發放案件簡報等。據了解，PPRB現平均每天向傳媒發布約400則案件簡報(俗稱牌頭紙)，另每天再發多達數十條信息回應傳媒補充查詢，但肩負這工作的人手僅得6-7人(包括借調兩名警務人員)，工作量極大。為此，黃國偉積極推進處長曾偉雄承諾的「互動平台」大計，加快把罪案簡布發布統一、電子化及互動，以加快傳媒「�料」速度。在公眾知情權下，傳媒舉腳贊成。 本報港聞部self storage

雷士照明（02222）截至今年6月底止中期業績，迷你倉出租半年溢利約8100萬（人民幣，下同），上升92%，每股派息1港仙；銷售收入約為16.9億元，同比增長4.6%，反映公司已從去年的管理層紛爭中恢復過來。在內地LED照明市場呈現快速增長勢頭下，下半年料有更高增長。LED業務貢獻大受惠於LED觀念普及、技術不斷成熟，以及價格不斷下滑，國內LED照明市場的增長也不俗，期內雷士LED產品銷售總額到達2.8億元，同比增長233.9%，佔集團銷售收入16.7%。期內，集團投入於研發項目的總金額逾2400萬元，佔銷售收入的1.4%，共開發了14個系列新產品，新申請專利有53項，新獲批授予專利有16項，大部分為LED產品相關專利。此外，雷士亦宣布為進一步執行LED產品的戰略發展計劃，將與大股東德豪潤達在中國建立合資公司以從事LED產品封裝業務。在好產品背後，雷士還有龐大的中國銷售網把產品分銷出去。截至今年6月底止，雷士在內地增添1家獨家區域經銷商，迷你倉前共有37家獨家區域經銷商；專賣店方面，淨增加172家，總數量已達3,201家，銷售網絡的覆蓋城市達2272個，已基本全面覆蓋省會及地級城市，縣級城市覆蓋率近65%。國際市場上，集團繼續推行「以全面推廣雷士品牌為主，以為知名企業提供ODM/OEM服務為輔，逐步提高雷士品牌海外銷售比例的發展戰略」，同時加強與海外客戶的長期合作關係，大客戶需求增長使該市場收入穩步上升，新開發的市場包括法國、羅馬尼亞、葡萄牙、蒙古等國家，新增了共6個專賣店。股價料重回高位公司過往一直有支持多個體育活動，作為品牌的主要推廣渠道，今年7月又簽約成為國際泳聯2014年至2017年的冠名合作夥伴。而通過頂級世界體育舞台，不僅使雷士在傳統照明領域品牌地位得以鞏固，也使雷士在LED領域的品牌形象得以提升。其實去年的管理層之爭，某程度對雷士的長遠發展反而有利，公司創辦人吳長江因而引入德豪潤達這個實力雄厚的股東，雙方可繼續加大在LED產業的投入，中長線股價有望重回高位。儲存倉

Source: Chicago TribuneSept.迷你倉出租 06--The Bears will open their 2013 season Sunday by hosting Cincinnati at Soldier Field. With kickoff nearing, here's this week's "Hurry-Up," a flurry of notable odds and ends on the Bengals.----The Bears' offensive line has not only been overhauled with Roberto Garza as the only returning starter from 2012. But the first test of 2013 comes against one of the NFL's most imposing defensive lines. Defensive tackle Geno Atkins gives the Bengals plenty of push up front. And yet it's massive ends Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap who have a chance to cause just as many headaches for quarterback Jay Cutler. After being sacked 38 times in 2012, Cutler won't only face the challenge of staying upright Sunday, he'll also have to account for the length of the 6-foot-7-inch Johnson and the 6-foot-6 Dunlap with his throws. If he's even a little bit sloppy and the o-line can't fully contain that duo, it could be a Mutombo-esque shot-blocking exhibition for Cincinnati.Said Cutler: "They're really long guys. ... We've got to do different things. I don't want to get into exactly what we have to do or what we're going to do, but we've got to hit them from different angles and you've got to move the passing point, move the pocket from time to time and we've got to get rid of the ball quickly."----In recent years, the Bengals rushing attack has featured plenty of power but not enough flash. The backs to lead the team in rushing since Marvin Lewis became coach in 2003: Rudi Johnson, Kenny Watson, Cedric Benson and BenJarvus Green-Ellis. Green-Ellis enters Sunday as the likely starter. But the Bears will see plenty of rookie Gio Bernard as well, a shifty, change-of-pace back whom Cincinnati believes it stole with the No. 37 pick in April's draft. Last season, the longest reception by a Bengals back was a 16-yarder by Cedric Peerman in Week 6. Last month in the second preseason game, Bernard took a short pass, maneuvered into space and covered 22 yards. Baby steps, maybe. But overall the Bengals feel they have found a playmaker to give their backfield more pop.----After making 64 consecutive starts, left tackle Andrew Whitworth is all but certain to miss Sunday's opener. Whitworth hasn't practiced all week and hasn't really done much of anything since undergoing knee surgery after last season. So now it's Anthony Collins' turn to protect Andy Dalton's blindside. Collins isn't a newbie. Cincinnati drafted him in the fourth round in 2008 and he has 18 career starts under his belt on the line. His Week 1 challenge will be to help contain Bears defensive end Julius Peppers, who even at age 33 and in his 11th season keeps opposing tackles up at night.As Collins told reporters this week: "He's still the best; at 33, 21, he's still Julius Peppers. So, you've got to man up. Point blank. Period."----As a rookie in 2011, Dalton led the Bengals to nine wins and a surprising playoff berth. Last season, he aided 10 victories and another playoff push. 迷你倉ut for a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game since January 1991, Dalton's early progress won't mean enough to fans if he can't figure out a way to help his team to take the next step. Lewis believes Dalton's maturity has put him in position to become a far bigger influence in the locker room."He went from being the quarterback last year to being the leader of the offense," the head coach said. "And this year he's ascended into being the leader of the football team. The baton has been passed to Andy. We go as Andy goes."That, of course, is a somewhat predictable endorsement at this stage. And as much as anything, the Bengals hope Dalton can become more dangerous as a deep passer. That's been a focal point for Cincinnati heading into this season with quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese tutoring Dalton on finding the proper release points and making sure to get the ball out as soon as he plants on the final step of his drop.Dalton has one of the game's best deep playmakers helping his cause. A.J. Green had 1,350 receiving yards in 2012, scored touchdowns in 10 games and had six contests with at least one catch of 40 yards or longer. On top of that, Mohamed Sanu looks to be emerging as a legitimate No. 2 opposite Green.----James Harrison is 35 years old, with wear and tear of 10 NFL seasons on his body leading to questions about just how effective he can be for the long haul after signing a two-year deal with Cincinnati in April. But those aren't doubts you'd ever want to bring directly to Harrison, a perpetually testy man whose short wick is part of what makes him such a force. As an outside linebacker, Harrison remains a significant threat as a pass rusher and was better than expected as a run-stopper during the preseason. His veteran knowledge and fire has been welcome in a young linebackers room that includes fellow starters Vontaze Burfict (22 years old) and Rey Maualuga (26). Harrison's edginess also seems to add swagger to the Bengals defense overall.Said Atkins: "He has that little nasty streak about him that I think is going to give us an edge."----In the long run, Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert figures to be a big-time playmaker, smart and athletic enough to exploit holes in zone coverages. But how much the former Notre Dame standout will contribute in his NFL debut is iffy. Eifert was slowed by a wrist injury during the preseason and had three catches for 32 yards overall in August. It may take some time for him to hit stride here at the next level. But with Jermaine Gresham he gives Cincinnati a 1-2 punch at tight end that has some potential.Said Bears coach Marc Trestman of that duo: "It's challenging because they can move people around and create space. Should it be in regular personnel, decisions will have to be made whether we go nickel or stay regular."dwiederer@tribune.comTwitter @danwiedererCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Chicago Tribune Visit the Chicago Tribune at .chicagotribune.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存倉

Federal antitrust lawyers say that merger will raise fares and limit competition on about 1,400 routes, affecting nearly every airport nationwide.Attorneys general have been brought into reinforce the local consumer impact of the merger, even in states like Texas and Arizona, where the combination will have significant impacts on jobs.American Airlines has about 6,300 employees in Tulsa, most at the company's primary maintenance and overhaul base near Tulsa International Airport.Employee unions at the airlines have rallied to have the Justice Department drop the case so the companies can continue with the merger.The airlines said Michigan's inclusion won't affect their preparations for the Nov. 25 trial."The decision of the Attorney General of Michigan to join the Department of Justice does not diminish the strength of our case, nor our determination to complete this transaction and deliver the benefits of the combination to the customers and communities we serve," said a joint statement from American Airlines and US Airways.

Source: The Roanoke Times, Va.迷你倉Sept. 06--BLACKSBURG -- A mass of humanity filed through the buffet line for dinner a few hours before a preseason Virginia Tech practice, one football player after another. It was Mexican night, a popular cuisine among the Hokies, so the trays of food didn't last long.At the end of the line stood Jennie Schafer, Tech's director of sports nutrition, keeping a watchful but not overbearing eye on proceedings. She'll make the rounds throughout the dining area during the meal, checking in to see how players are eating.It's not confrontational. It's supportive. She wants them to enjoy what they eat. In fact, players come up to her to show off their meal. The more color on the plate -- created best by adding multiple fruits and vegetables -- the better."I tweet some of my favorite plates of the night," Schafer said, keeping a camera phone handy. "They just like the attention. And somehow that has made a world of difference."Welcome to the world of sports nutrition. Schafer is one of 45 full-time registered sports dietitians at 39 schools across the country, a growing trend in college athletics, particularly among the football heavyweights.Virginia Tech started its sports nutrition program in 2002 under Amy Freel, who's now at Indiana. Her successor, Schafer, first got into the nutrition side of sports as a basketball player at Roanoke College."I was this player that wanted to know everything to make myself better," Schafer said. "And I knew nothing about nutrition. There was nobody that knew anything about nutrition."She found someone like-minded in Freel. Schafer earned a B.S. at Tech in human nutrition, foods and exercise in 2009, then served as Freel's assistant. She took over as director three years ago, put in charge of nutrition for all of Virginia Tech's 21 sports, helped by assistant Kelly Masteller.Her goal is to educate, not lecture. She wants to provide information to players who want to maximize their performance by eating healthier foods, making small adjustments to their diets to do so."We teach through food, basically," Schafer said.That doesn't mean forcing broccoli down anyone's throats. Much of her job is finding ways to discourage players from going to places like McDonald's, finding food they like to eat, coming up with healthy versions of it and giving it to them throughout the day -- fueling, as Tech's nutrition crew calls it.In training camp, it was busy but relatively easy. Since school wasn't in session, the players were around the practice facility almost all day, so the nutrition staff coordinated all of the team's meals.The breakfast-lunch-dinner paradigm was thrown out the window. With practice every day, players needed energy to get through it. That meant constant eating, four meals (or as the nutrition staff calls them, "training tables") and various snacks throughout the day that added up to around 4,000 to 5,000 calories and could easily get up to 7,000 for the bigger players. Average men consume 2,500 calories a day.A buffet breakfast at 7 a.m., always with oatmeal, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and more, was mandatory. Those who miss it have to do extra running at practice.The players got a to-go meal at lunch usually catered by an area restaurant. Schafer and her crew add containers of fresh fruit as a healthy side option.With night practice, a buffet-line dinner began at 4:30. Tech uses Professional Caterers, which can do a variety of themes -- Mexican, Italian, Asian and, one of the players' favorites, steak and potatoes, which usually involves a potato bar. Schafer's goal is to keep things enjoyable, not preachy."This is kind of their relaxation time," she said, looking at the dining area as players wolfed down their food. "They're in meetings, thinking and focusing. They're being yelled at in practice. They're being pushed hard. And I still want them to have a social time, a relaxing time where they still enjoy the food."Each meal has options for players trying find the right balance of foods and for those who are picky eaters: a leaner and heavier protein (chicken or steak, for example), high- and low-carb (mac and cheese or roasted potatoes), light desserts (Rice Krispies treats or cobblers) and plenty of drink options (low-fat milk, chocolate milk, l文件倉monade and water). Tech uses brown rice and whole wheat pasta, so players don't even realize they're being fed healthier food.To spice things up, Schafer adds what she calls "morale boosters" every now and then, like ice cream for the cobbler, actual sirloin steak and bacon -- especially, bacon."Before my time, bacon wasn't on the menu a lot," Schafer said. "I see it's so important in their lives that I do bacon more often."After practice, the players got a to-go meal with recovery Gatorade shakes and side items like fresh-cut fruit (a staple at any training table), nuts, peanut butter or bananas.During the day, snacks are available in meeting rooms or at the Fueling Station in the football players' lounge (the recently remodeled Nutrition Oasis is for other sports). Schafer prefers those items be salty, like pretzels, nuts or trail mix. Like every other food Tech provides, it has a purpose. Players can lose as much as 7 or 8 pounds in water weight during a practice, so she wants them to hydrate as much as possible.The fueling stations deal with a number of arcane NCAA limitations. Schafer said the "fruit-nut-bagel bylaw" limits the freebies Tech can give to its athletes during the day. Schools can hand out bagels, fruit, nuts, energy bars, chocolate milk and, created from all that, smoothies. But until recently, cream cheese spreads and jelly were outlawed."It was just silly," Schafer said. "They realized they were being crazy and now we can do spreads."Now that school has started, things become more difficult with the football team. Education becomes more important as players eat the majority of their daily meals on campus, with one nightly meal at Lane Stadium from a menu the nutrition staff creates.Schafer meets with incoming freshmen to explain good eating habits, emphasizing the need to bookend workouts with fuel before and recovery after. Getting to them early helps."They're like, 'Oh, this is the culture of this sport,' " she said. " 'Oh, I'm supposed to eat two fruits and an energy bar,' because that's what we're providing them. So they buy in pretty easy."She arranges grocery store tours with players to show the right kinds of foods they should buy. On one of those trips to Food Lion, she and cornerback Kyle Fuller found a Greek yogurt that the senior still eats regularly today.Schafer tries to fight the misconception that calories are bad, pointing out nutrient-dense, higher-caloric foods and pushing players away from stuff that provides next to no nutritional value, like light cereals and granola bars."Guys will eat Rice Krispies," she said. "I'm like, 'There's nothing in there. Do you really feel like you ate something there?' "On-campus dining is another thing to consider. Virginia Tech's cafeterias are consistently ranked among the country's best, but there are still plenty of food options to steer clear of.Schafer gives athletes handouts of what are good high-performance meal options at each dining hall, supplementing it with "meal shockers" that show how many calories are in foods that should be avoided."Like how many calories are in a [steak] quesadilla at West End?" Schafer said, the answer to which is approximately 1,300 with 80 grams of fat. "And sometimes when they know it, they're like, 'Oh my god, I didn't even know that. I'm not eating that again.' "Education is key. Schafer's office is on the way to the weight room, so it's hard for players to miss her. The nutrition staff's Twitter feed (@HokieFuel) is gaining popularity, offering plenty of food suggestions. The Hokies even handed out Male and Female Nutrition Athlete of the Year awards last spring for the first time.Perhaps the best indication that Schafer's message is getting through came earlier in training camp. Hollywood's, a restaurant in Roanoke, did their once-a-year fried chicken meal for the Hokies, one of the football team's favorites.Near the end of the meal, the owner approached Schafer to tell her that they ran out of vegetables before chicken, a first in his 10 years of providing meals for the team.Schafer's response? "That's because I'm telling them to eat greens!"Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Roanoke Times (Roanoke, Va.)

Solid gains seen in mainland August exports and imports after pickup in manufacturing activity and better-than-expected regional dataExpanding manufacturing activity and better-than-expected regional trade figures could point to an increase in China’s trade last month, driven by a recovery in the United States and European economies and stronger domestic demand.儲存倉Rising export orders and domestic investment helped push the official manufacturing purchasing managers’ index to 51 last month, the highest since May last year, fuelling expectations of a stronger August trade. Official trade data for the month is due tomorrow.Confidence in global recovery got another boost after South Korea on Monday reported an unexpected 7.7 per cent year-on-year gain in exports last month, far exceeding the expectations of 3.8 per cent growth.UBS Securities estimates China’s exports may have increased about 8.5 per cent last month, compared with a 5.1 per cent rise in July. Imports are likely to have climbed 12.5 per cent, from July’s 10.9 per cent increase, thanks to recovering domestic demand, restocking and a pickup in some commodities prices.Mizuho Securities has a similar projection, saying exports grew 8 per cent while imports were up 12 per cent.“We believe the August PMI data is evidence that the economy is now bottoming out, partly due to the rebound of both domestic and external demand, and the growth-stabilising policies launched in July,” said Mizuho’s Shen Jianguang.Nevertheless, some analysts said their optimism was curbed by the yuan’s strength in view of the depreciation in regional currencies, including the Japanese yen.They said exports might have cooled slightly and the trade outlook was also clouded by rising global geopolitical risks in countries such as Syria.Barclays Capital’s Chang Jian predicted exports to have grown 3.5 per cent from August last year while imports rose 8 per cent.Currencies in the region, such as the Indonesian rupiah and the Indian rupee, continue to fal迷你倉價錢 against the US dollar since the Federal Reserves first mentioned in May the likelihood of tapering the ultra-loose monetary policy, causing foreign funds to flow out of emerging markets.China has kept the yuan basically stable, making exports more expensive compared with its competitors.“The underlying export momentum has likely picked up further, as predicted by the improving US and European economies,” said UBS economists led by Wang Tao in a research note. “However, the strength of China’s exports may continue to be constrained by [the yuan’s] appreciation relative to other Asian and [emerging market] currencies.”The US economy expanded at a better-than-expected 2.5 per cent annualised rate in the second quarter while in the euro zone, factories were the busiest last month in more than two years.China’s port data improved, too. In July, port throughput rose 9.2 per cent from a year earlier to 16.5 million 20-foot equivalent units, according to a report by the Economic Daily.The gain accelerated from a 7 per cent growth in June and 4.8 per cent rise in July last year, the report said.The port throughput data was found more accurate than official customs data earlier this year as a large amount of hot money was discovered to have flowed into the country through fake trade deals betting on yuan appreciation.The regulators later tightened the controls on cross-border speculative funds flows. Following the crackdown, exports showed their first annual fall in 17 months in June. Imports also dropped.Although trade improved significantly in July, analysts said the road ahead would be bumpy.Li Jian, a senior researcher at an institute under the Ministry of Commerce, forecast exports and imports to maintain a moderate, single-digit average growth in the second half of this year. He also said depreciation in regional currencies was the main challenge.For the whole year, Li said, China’s trade growth might be close to, but not necessarily meet the official target of, 8 per cent growth.迷你倉
