新加坡
Containers were enroute to Batam and held counterfeits of Furla, Burberry, GucciChina-made bags, shoes, belts and other fashion accessories found in two containers were actually fakes of top brands that could retail for more than $1 million abroad.迷你倉The goods from a Shenzhen port were on their way to Batam when they were intercepted here by Singapore Customs in April while awaiting re-shipment.The case has triggered a slew of trademark breach lawsuits.The big names seeking legal redress include Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Sanrio, according to the High Court pre-trial conference list last week.Some of the fakes bore Burberry and Hermes labels too.Singapore Customs spokesman Tok Choon Min told The Sunday Times yesterday that officers inspected the two 40-foot containers on April 2 and 4 and found 436 cartons of counterfeit fashion items. More than 30,900 fake items were seized.He added that the counterfeits which had been declared as "household goods" were detained by Customs after court injunctions were obtained by the brand owners.Mr Tok, who is acting head of the Customs operations management branch, said the successful operations reflect the cooperation between Customs and the brand owners in the fight against counterfeit goods."We do not condone such illegal trading activities," he said.One of the suits involving Italian label Furla against Megastar Shipping, the forwarding agents of t文件倉e cargo for the Singapore-Batam leg, was resolved about two weeks ago, said Mr Martin Schweiger, Furla's legal representative here.Furla - which makes high quality bags, shoes and other accessories - took custody of more than 5,000 fake handbags from Singapore Customs on Friday."We were very surprised it was such a big amount, as when we started the probe eight months ago, we understood there were 300 bags in about 100 boxes," said Mr Schweiger.Each genuine item could have an average price of about 300 euros (S$520).He said this was the first case involving a transshipment Customs border seizure of a container with counterfeit goods enforced against a local freight forwarder.Furla resolved the case with Megastar in a practical way, he said, because the company is targeting the source and the distributors' destination for the fake goods, and "not honest freight forwarders who are transporting them".Megastar was hired by PT Alvenindo Sukses Express of Indonesia to send the container to Batam.Megastar has denied any liability in court documents filed in relation to the other pending suits, saying it was not aware there were fake goods in the container. PT Alvenindo is also a defendant.Mr Schweiger's firm, Schweiger & Partners (Singapore), which has a sister firm in Munich and deals in brand protection, worked with local law firms Kalco Law and Yuen Law in the Furla case.vijayan@sph.com.sg存倉

A Look Back -- St. Louis postal clerks wade through mountains of Christmas mail by hand
Source: St.迷你倉 Louis Post-DispatchDec. 21--ST. LOUIS --With Christmas approaching in 1930 and the Depression settling hard, the Post Office downtown asked for 1,200 temporary helpers to keep up with the crush of holiday mail. More than 4,800 people applied.St. Louis Postmaster Athol Michener said it would be futile for more job-seekers to come downtown.The following year, a line of applicants formed at 5 a.m. outside the hiring office in the old federal Custom House, at Third and Olive streets. The Post Office wanted 2,300 extras to help its 2,500 regular clerks and mail carriers. More than 800 showed up that first morning.The pay was good -- 65 cents an hour (almost $9 today) -- even though the job only lasted three weeks. Post Office officials said they gave preference to unemployed heads of households. They had plenty to choose from.Temporary hires were needed every year to handle mountains of Christmas letters and packages. Sorting was done by hand. At the sorting center, mail went into canvass sacks, then got tossed onto push carts and hauled to trucks and railroad cars. Newspapers published lists of deadlines for mailing packages to Australia, Germany, Cuba or California by Christmas Day. Regular news updates reported the numbers of letters processed.Most years, they published photographs of the piles of packages. Plenty of readers had personal wishes somewhere in the jumble, often six times the usual volume.In 1933, the local Post Office handled 14 million pieces of mail during the last week before Christmas. In a sad sign of the times, Santa got fewer letters from kids.But total mail volume climbed throumini storageh the Depression decade. So did hiring. In 1939, the local office sought 3,700 temporary employees to assist the full-time staff of 3,000. It received 4,400 applications.That changed with entry into World War II. More than 650 postal employees left for the military. Enlistments cut into the temporary pool as well. Before Christmas 1943, St. Louis Postmaster Rufus Jackson warned that mail and packages were piling up.Labor shortages and the volume of parcels destined for bases overseas forced a big move-up of mailing deadlines -- Oct. 15 for soldiers, Nov. 1 for sailors and Marines. It was Dec. 10 for domestic delivery, a week earlier than pre-war deadlines. Harried clerks had to reject any military-bound parcels that weighed more than six pounds. The most frequent overweight item? Radios.Victory brought relief for the hiring office and steady growth in mailing during the boom years of the 1950s. In 1946, the metro area's Post Office handled 42.5 million pieces of mail from Dec. 1 to Dec. 24. In 1960, it handled 81.5 million pieces during the same three-week period. Automation reduced the need for so many Christmas temporaries -- the Post Office hired 3,900 in 1940, but only 1,200 in 1968.Increased automation, competition from shipping companies and the Internet have cut into Postal Service volume. Last year, the St. Louis operation handled 30 million pieces of mail from Dec. 1 to Christmas. The daily peak was 2.6 million. This year, it hired 160 holiday extras.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Visit the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at .stltoday.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存

Pedestrian zone increased noise levels
Yau Tsim Mong District Council’s decision to reduce the hours of the Mong Kok pedestrian zone to weekends and public holidays is, in my opinion, a good thing.迷你倉最平The most important problem is the noise. People who live near the zone have always been affected by the noise. They could not avoid it and had to face it every day, meaning it inevitably affected their standard of living. The issue of public security is the other key problem. Because of the performances in the zone, it at迷你倉racts lots of tourists, who in turn attract pickpockets. The large crowds also make it difficult for police to find the culprits. Last but not least, it affects the shops throughout the zone. Performances in front of their premises risk blocking pedestrians from walking in, which affects their business.Although some may say it has been a feature of Hong Kong, we must also think of people living nearby and, therefore, I agree with what the council did.Karen Lee Ho-yi, To Kwa Wanmini storage

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

【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
