信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/製圖 李瀟雪　　華西都市報:從哆啦A夢到瓦力，迷你倉樂器人們對於機器人總是充滿想象。但你是否知道，也許機器人進入你的生活遠比你想象中來得快。一汽大�、沃爾沃“成都造”的汽車，已經實現機器人焊接；成都市區、雙流、郫縣的排水管道，也已配備了管網工程檢測機器人。　　上周五，機器人概念股集體走強，智雲股份、亞威股份、科大智能、三豐智能、紫光股份等多只個股聯袂漲停。　　目前，成都的工業機器人約有500-600個，市場規模已經超過億元。隨著產業發展和人工成本的攀升，機器人的市場快速增長，四川一家公司今年就新增訂單5億元左右，但也有不少機器人還面臨著商業化的困境。但毋庸置疑的是，機器人這塊“蛋糕”在成都已經越做越大。600機器人服務成都工廠　　華西都市報記者昨日在汽車工廠的一個整車生產車間看到，封閉的生產線不見一個人影，數十名“車間工人”均是清一色的機器人，流水線作業，每隔1-2分鐘工業機器人們就焊接、組裝好一個完整的汽車車身……這樣的場景已經在成都多家汽車工廠成為現實，而且成都造的機器人生產線已經銷往武漢、重慶等全國各地的汽車工廠。　　“成都市場是近年才逐漸新興，工業機器人約有500-600個，主要在汽車行業，諸如一汽大�、沃爾沃等。”四川成焊寶瑪焊接裝備工程有限公司董事長許瑞麟向記者表示，機器人可以代替焊接、塗膠、搬運、裝配等很多人的工作，並且工業機器人的精准率更高，而且不知疲倦。　　實際上，目前國內對機器人需求最多的為焊接機器人，其次為搬運機器人和裝配機器人。汽車整車及零部件行業占了機器人需求的33%，電子、電氣占31%，其次為橡膠塑料、金屬加工等行業。　　隨著產業發展和人工成本的攀升，機器人的市場快速增長。“我們已經不做人工生產線的生意了。”許瑞麟透露，今年該公司新增訂單5億元左右，一條轎車車身裝焊生產線或者車間的價格就是上億元。而且，他們鎖定的市場不僅僅是成都，而是全國，前不久他們剛給外地的某知名汽車廠家“定制”了一個配備67個機器人的生產車間。成都開造機器人生產線　　一個工業機器人的價格是多少？據許瑞麟介紹，以常用的6關節工業機器人為例，抓舉6公斤的工業機器人採購價10萬左右，而該公司採用的多是能抓舉200公斤的機器人，採購價格30-50萬元。　　“我們要教會機器人如何工作。”許瑞麟強調說，以這個價格採購回來的機器人，嚴格說還不是“人”，而是不會做任何事情的機器。他們根據汽車廠家的要求和生產線的需要進行設計、研發、集成為能夠焊接或者打孔的機器人，這些機器人不是單獨提供給廠家，而是作為生產線的一個部分。雖然上億元的機器人生產線或車間看起來比較貴，但是機器人的工作量大於人工，算下來之後機器人的成本是劃算的。　　“一台機器人的效率可超過6個工人，而且能保證準確無誤。”德國庫卡機器人公司負責人向媒體表示，焊接工序三班倒按6個人計算，每個人年薪5萬元，6人每年的總支出就接近30萬元。如果在這個工序上使用機器人，只需要一台就行了。　　據瞭解，現在全球工業機器人均價30多萬元，價格呈下行趨勢，假設未來均價25萬元，中國對應的工業機器人本體市場規模接近380億元，算上系統的話，對應的工業機器人市場規模將達到1迷你倉西貢40億元（按照系統規模是本體3倍測算）。特種機器人面臨商業化困局　　值得注意的是，並非所有的機器人都能夠實現充分的商業化。　　“機器人大致分為兩大類，一是類似汽車焊接機器人這樣重複簡單勞動的工業機器人，其功能以替代人的勞動為主。而另一類則是特種機器人，如潛水機器人、管網檢測機器人等，這類機器人的功能主要是做人不能做的事。”成都訊研科技副總經理吳建東介紹道，目前訊研科技就正在致力于潛水、探測等特種機器人項目。　　吳建東坦言，與工業機器人相比，特種機器人的商業化還非常初級。以訊研科技的潛水機器人為例，全年的訂單也不過20台左右，“目前我們能夠想象到的最宏偉的目標，也就是一年能夠賣200台，而且那是覆蓋全球市場以後的效果。”　　特種機器人行業所瞄準的是稀缺性。“特種機器人要求的技術水平非常高，而且由於市場極度細分，不同的特種機器人在技術方面是真正的‘隔行如隔山’。可以說只要做透一個領域，基本上沒有什麼競爭對手。”吳建東透露，因此盡管特種機器人訂單規模小，利潤卻可達到40%以上，是工業機器人的數倍之多。　　雖然目前還看不到大規模商業化的前景，但特種機器人已經在悄然融入我們的生活。現在成都市區、雙流、郫縣等地均已經配備了管網工程檢測機器人。相關報道30多家企業重金砸向機器人　　上周五，機器人概念股集體走強，智雲股份、亞威股份、科大智能、三豐智能、紫光股份等多只個股聯袂漲停。上市公司涉足工業機器人市場漸成氣候。巨輪股份最近披露定增預案，募集資金的一個重要投向就是工業機器人。慈星股份也披露擬設立合資公司經營機器人驅動及控制系統項目。而秦川發展、科遠股份、向日葵等多家公司相繼發佈了各自的工業機器人計劃。目前，滬深兩市涉足機器人的公司已超過30家。　　本月還曝出一條熱門消息，互聯網巨頭穀歌正式進軍機器人。在過去6個月內，穀歌已經秘密收購了7家機器人公司。而且該公司計劃建立一支機器人大軍並可能用于未來的快遞業，掀起新的電商之戰。新聞鏈接律師可能被機器人代替？　　據英國《每日郵報》報道，一位人工智能領域的專家預測稱，辦公室工作將在5年內完全消失，屆時智能機器人將會取代人類員工。且不管這個預測是否誇大其詞，但是機器人擠壓就業機會的擔憂已經近在眼前。有網站進行了梳理，並聲稱以下職業可能被機器人奪走。　　車間工人：現在生產車間的許多工作已經開始被機器人取代。　　行政文書：英國人工智能公司塞拉頓公司首席執行官表示，人工智能機器人能夠迅速地自動完成勞動密集型的文書工作。而最近研發製作的模型還能夠做出傳統上由人類所做的決定。　　客戶服務經理：今年國際商用機器公司把超級計算機“沃森”安排在機器人呼叫中心。讓人工智能系統扮演起了客戶經理的角色。　　家政等服務人員：今年康奈爾大學的學生們發明瞭一種能夠取送食物和飲料，做家務並完成其他日常工作的機器人。　　律師：一些律師事務所開始採用人工智能軟件來掃描瀏覽堆積如山的法律文件。　　外科醫生：比如使用機器人做手術，比一名高薪聘請的名醫精確度可能更高。　　清潔工：早在2011年就有國外公司推出過一款清理空調、通風道或工業的通風口的機器人。　　專業救災人員：比如蛇形機器人可深入各種危險的、救援人員難以到達的地方進行救援活動。　　華西都市報記者石莉芳趙雅儒迷你倉將軍澳

　　上市剛兩年的百圓褲業（002640.SZ）在2013年的走勢著實讓人難以捉摸。　　從2012年11月底開始，迷你倉將軍澳百圓褲業就拉開了股價上漲的序幕。在2013年11月底，百圓褲業的股價攀上了一個高峰。在此後短短5個交易日之內，則上演了股價下跌40%的行情。在普通投資者對其大起大落的走勢表示費解之時，12月6日，該公司開始停牌核查異動的公告。　　業內人士對《中國經營報》記者指出，業績平淡的百圓褲業，從離奇的暴漲到離奇的暴跌，其背後或存莊家聯合作局的可能性。看不懂的“牛股”　　以牛仔褲、休閒褲為經營主業的百圓褲業，在2011年12月上市融資4.3億元之後，其經營業績一路平平，經營性現金流則呈持續流出的狀態。但這並不妨礙機構對其密集調研及出擊炒作。“也正是在機構的密集調研與炒作下，百圓褲業才能在2013年一路走牛。直到11月29日至12月5日，出現了斷崖式暴跌。”長期研究服飾上市公司的深圳某私募研究員謝彬對於該公司離奇的暴漲暴跌也頗感蹊蹺。　　在暴跌之前的百圓褲業可謂是2013年的牛股。從2012年11月底最低每股7.73元開始，直止2013年11月28日的最高每股26.97元，其股價漲幅達到近250%。而在此期間，這家褲業公司的經營業績卻並不那麼好。　　實際上，百圓褲業經營業績除上市當年即2011年實現營業收入、淨利潤雙增長之外， 2012年以及2013年前三季度都出現下滑態勢。該公司2012年財報顯示，其2012年營收為4.85億元，同比下降0.31%；利潤總額7143.13萬元，同比下降23.12%；歸屬於上市公司股東的淨利潤5236.63萬元，同比下降23.78%。　　據其2013年三季報披露，受服裝行業不樂觀，公司開拓市場、終端運營等費用較大，以及電子商務的衝擊，公司直營門店收入難以達到預期水平，預計2013年全年淨利潤同比減少10%~40%。　　對此，謝彬坦言：“以連鎖經營為主要渠道的百圓褲業1800余家連鎖店大部分為加盟店。而其終端渠道運營顯然已經在電商的衝擊下難言優勢。”資料顯示，截止到2012年12月31日百圓褲業共計擁有門店1827家，其中加盟店1652家、直營店175家。　　在業績並不樂觀和經營性現金流入不敷出的情況下，百圓褲業何以能夠成為“牛股”？對此，有業內人士表示，這或許與�機構對該公司的密集調研與布局有關。　　查閱百圓褲業資料顯示，2012年1月11日至10月25日，該公司曾迎來30家機構實地調研。其中，券商、私募以及公募基金都赫然在列。僅2012年1月11日和12日，調研的機構就達到14家之多。也就是在這個時候，多家機構介入百圓褲業的炒作之中。　　據百圓褲業2012年年報顯示，截止到12月31日，百圓褲業前十大流通股東中，共有8家機構合計持有該公司股票800余萬股。2013年前半年信息顯示，其前十大流通股東又一次變化為：北京三能環宇科技持股107萬股，其餘均為自然人股東，合計持有570余萬股。到2013年三季度，其前十大流通股東大都變成了自然人，合計持有800萬股。也就是說，在2013年該股暴漲期間，機迷你倉尖沙咀與自然人進進出出，最終大部分機構順利出逃。　　另據公司今年三季報顯示，一款名為“中融國際信托－華鼎興業結構化證券投資集合資金信托計劃”的私募產品赫然出現在三季報十大流通股東之列。截至今年9月底，該產品持有百圓褲業63.28萬股，占流通股比例為1.90%。　　業內人士表示：“此番從11月29日至12月5日暴跌近40%至每股17.77元，有人懷疑是該私募基金在砸盤，不過目前還未證實。”　　此前有媒體曾注意到，華鼎興業信托產品持有的百圓褲業、泰亞股份、三江購物均在12月2日11時25分左右被砸至跌停板，顯示出該產品斬倉的可能性極高。“坐莊”遭遇利空？　　在斷崖式下跌背後，百圓褲業可能面臨的 “利空”即是11月深交所的問詢函。11月下旬，深交所致函百圓褲業，就公司2013年半年報及三季報中毛利率差異、淨利潤波動、應收賬款上升、募投項目進度等多個方面的事項進行詢問。分析人士認為，此舉凸顯出公司的財務和經營狀況已經受到監管部門的高度關注。　　值得注意的是，無論是在前期該公司股價大漲還是在暴跌期間，百圓褲業也未見有實質性重大利好或利空消息。唯一一個令業內人士感到尚能算作利好的信息是，該公司曾在11月8日公告稱擬參與籌建山西民營銀行。但這個模糊的消息並非是前述高達2.5倍漲幅的原因。　　業內人士認為，從目前現有的信息分析，該公司能在今年前11月創出暴漲行情，得益于前述多個機構的輪番炒作。在關注該股的私募人士羅建看來，百圓褲業作為僅有3300余萬股流通盤的小盤股，極易受到有關機構或個人的操控。　　對於利空消息，也有人認為源於該公司對募投項目的一再變更。資料顯示去年7月，該公司以房價太貴，公司擬將“營銷網絡建設項目中購買16家商舖開設直營店項目”變更為“在三線城市購買商舖建設戰略加盟店及設立廣州、南昌全資子公司開設直營店項目”；同時將原“營銷網絡建設項目中由貴陽控股子公司開設直營店項目”變更為“設立武漢控股子公司開設直營店項目”。　　11月下旬，又以國內經濟形勢等客觀因素出現較大變化的理由，將上述項目延期兩年至2015年12月31日。不過，百圓褲業認為，本次調整不會對公司正常的生產經營和業務發展造成實質性影響。　　但是有行業研究員指出，該公司募投項目延期對公司將有較大影響。一方面，將有損投資者對百圓褲業的信心，公司IPO募投項目在2011年已經制定，但經過一番更改之後仍未實施，這將引發市場質疑；另一方面，募投項目延期事實上給出投資者一個信號，公司目前舉步維艱，業務拓展受阻，從而降低投資者對百圓褲業的預期。”事實上，百圓褲業所在行業不但持續低迷，而且其連鎖模式在電商衝擊下，已經讓其很難適應新的市場模式。而在這種背景下拖延募投項目，或表明其經營方向搖擺。　　對於股價暴漲暴跌的異動，百圓褲業董秘辦在其官網公開回複稱：“公司針對股票下跌，暫處於自查階段，自查結束會立刻發佈相關公告。民營銀行事宜正處在前期商洽階段，如有進展公司會第一時間發佈公告。”並稱：“公司基本面處於正常經營狀態，目前沒有任何根據深交所《股票上市規則》等有關規定應予以披露而未披露的事項。”mini storage

信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/製圖李瀟雪網銀被盜　　12月11日，迷你倉張先生的手機里保存著錢被轉賬的提示信息。　　　　重置了密碼，設置了交易限額，沒想到存錢才2個小時，卡上10萬元就在3分鐘內被卷走，這是即將要付給別人的貨款，青白江人張遠余（化名）為此焦急不已。　　既然日累計交易限額是100元，那10萬元是怎麼被盜走？針對儲戶的質疑，銀行回複，這筆錢是通過“超級網銀”的授權支付業務被轉走，這個由央行推出的跨行轉賬平台獨立于該行的交易平台，因此不受交易限額的限制。銀行相關負責人推測，張遠余可能是泄露了個人信息。該負責人建議市民，在使用“超級網銀”授權支付功能時要慎重。事發限額100 10萬貨款仍被盜　　11月24日，做瓷磚生意的張遠余在成都某銀行辦理了一張銀行卡。12月10日，正在籌備一筆貨款的他打算將貨款存到這張新開的卡上，考慮到資金安全，他還專門到銀行重新修改了密碼並辦理了“全渠道限額100元”業務。“這樣一天內都不能在網上轉賬超過100塊。”辦了業務後的張遠余放心地回到了公司。中午11點半到12點20分，張遠余用手機銀行分3次轉了100200元到該銀行賬戶。下午1點半，正在辦公室休息的他突然被三條連續的短信震醒了。　　“您尾號****的儲蓄卡賬戶12日10日13時37分向楊長豔還款支出人民幣50000元。”接下去的兩條短信告訴張遠余，他剛存入的100200元，只剩了32元錢。“楊長豔是誰？我的錢怎麼全沒了！”張遠余一下子呆住了。調查銀行回應“超級網銀”轉走錢　　10萬元錢瞬間消失了，回過神來的張遠余立即報警。　　“警察來到銀行以後，調出了轉賬清單，顯示我卡上的錢轉到了另外一家銀行的卡上。”讓張遠余百思不得其解的是，他設置了日累計交易限額100元，那這10萬塊錢是怎麼被劃走的？　　“我還改了密碼，密碼哪這麼快就泄露了。”銀行的監控視頻顯示，張遠余修改密碼的時候，並無其他人在現場。這讓他對這筆錢的“離奇失蹤”更加疑惑。11日下午，張遠余收到銀行工作人員回複，這筆錢是被人通過“超級網銀”轉走的。　　“一個什麼‘超級網銀’就能把客戶的錢弄走，那銀行怎麼保證我們的資金安全？”張遠余對這個解釋很氣憤，他不理解為何這個“超級網銀”能避開銀行的“轉賬限制”。解釋客戶“被簽約” 跨行轉賬沒限制　　“交易限額只能限制我們銀行的交易平台，‘超級網銀’是央行推出的跨行支付系統，這兩個平台是獨立的。”13日上午10點，記者來到張遠余存錢的銀行。銀行相關負責人解釋了10萬元被轉走的原因。　　“超級網銀”是對央行推出的第二代網上支付跨行清算系統的稱呼，可實現實時跨行轉賬、mini storage行賬戶查詢、跨行支付等功能。一個網銀賬戶能實現多張銀行卡的跨行查詢和轉賬。它還有一個授權簽約服務，用戶可以授權任何人對自己的賬戶進行查詢和轉賬。“一旦與別人簽約，那個人就能不經同意劃走你卡上的錢。因為你已經授權給他了，所以密碼之類的都用不著。”該負責人表示，由於這是與該行的交易系統完全獨立的平台，因此交易限額對跨行轉賬沒有限制作用。安全提醒如何防範授權欺詐　　所謂“超級網銀”，就是可以用一個網銀賬戶，實現多張銀行卡的跨行查詢和轉賬。超級網銀的授權操作被指存在一定安全風險，比如網銀用戶可以授權任何人對自己的賬戶進行查詢和轉賬，授權只需將授權頁面的鏈接複制下來，發送給他人“簽約”。　　業內安全專家石曉紅博士再次提醒廣大網民注意，儘量不要通過電子郵件或qq、旺旺等即時對話信息中的網址登錄銀行，不點擊陌生人發來的各類“驗證激活”、“簽約認證”等鏈接，當收到銀行發來的授權支付的提醒短信時，一定高度警惕、仔細查看，凡是非本人操作或授權陌生人轉賬時，應立即中止授權過程，並撥打銀行電話掛失或注銷賬號，確保賬戶資金安全。個人信息泄露？辦卡次日已“授權”　　張遠余並不知道自己用了“超級網銀”，而且還簽了授權支付協議，並與這位叫楊長豔的人成了互聯用戶。　　但是銀行的交易信息中顯示，11月25日，也就是在張遠余辦理此銀行卡的第二天，他的賬號就顯示簽訂了超級網銀的“授權支付協議”，授權該行在接到另外一家銀行的付款請求後，向楊長豔的賬號支付款項。　　“我們猜測可能是他的個人信息泄露，而且他的手機信息也被他人弄到了。”該負責人表示，要他人授權支付給自己的銀行卡，除了需要知道對方的卡號、登錄密碼，還需要拿到一條由對方銀行發給客戶手機的驗證碼。　　目前，公安機關已經對此事立案調查。　　華西都市報見習記者 謝燃岸攝影雷遠東相關新聞“超級網銀”第一案 網購損失10萬元　　2013年5月22日，陳女士稱她在一家“超人氣潮流2013最”網店內購買連衣裙後，店家卻告訴她交易未支付成功，需要聯繫訂單異常處理中心處理，並告訴了一個名為“異常處理中心”的QQ號碼。當陳女士按照該“工作人員”的要求在其發來的網址鏈接上進行操作後，銀行賬戶中的十萬元居然被瞬間轉走。　　隨後，嫌犯符某等3人落網。據嫌犯交代，5月21日22時許，他們發現陳女士準備購物時，王某便告知陳女士交易支付出現異常，隨後由符某扮成所謂的異常處理中心管理人員，誘騙陳女士進行超級網銀的授權支付操作，並讓她完成相關指令。　　隨後，符某立即�用超級網銀權限，將陳女士卡內的10余萬元錢分多次轉入以葉某身份證辦理的銀行卡中。王某又伙同吳某等人，連夜將葉某卡內的10余萬元轉出，變現分贓。self storage

現代人手機、平板電腦換不停，迷你倉西貢這些被丟掉的電子垃圾最終會到哪裡？聯合國發表最新報告，指全球去年製造了4,900萬噸電子垃圾，當中大部分會被運送到落後的窮國傾倒，形成生態環境災難。報告又引述研究指，香港是全球電子垃圾主要中轉港，而美國每人平均一年製造的電子垃圾，數量是中國人的6倍。2017年達6540萬噸 重如200座帝國大廈隨�科技一日千里，產品每隔幾個月便推陳出新，全球電子垃圾數目正以驚人速度增加。聯合國智庫「解決電子垃圾問題」(StEP)最新報告估計，到2017年，全球電子垃圾將較去年增加33%，達6,540萬噸，幾乎相當於200座紐約帝國大廈的總重量。報告統計，美國去年製造了940萬噸電子垃圾，相當於每人平均29.8公斤，是全球最多；中國內地則為730萬噸，即每人約5.4公斤。報告引述麻省理工研究指，香港是手機和電腦兩類電子垃圾的主要出口地，其次是拉丁美洲和加勒比海地區，不過香港並非這些垃圾的最終歸宿，它們大部分會轉到阿聯酋或內地。其他大型電子部件則主要出口到墨西哥、委內瑞拉、巴拉圭和內地，多數最終會送到貧窮國家。含有害物質 破壞環迷你倉將軍澳釋放毒氣電子垃圾中普遍含有鉛、水銀、鎘、砷及阻燃劑等有害物質，一旦滲入堆填區土壤，便會嚴重破壞環境；它們焚燒時亦會釋出大量有毒氣體。雖然全球各地均有設立電子垃圾回收和循環再用計劃，但很多企業為了節省回收成本，寧願將垃圾傾銷到海外。StEP行政秘書屈赫爾指，雖然各地政府都意識到這個問題，不過缺乏具體監察數據，一直難以評估問題的規模和嚴重性。近1/3歐盟貨櫃 違法出口電子垃圾國際刑警本月指出，接近1/3從歐盟出口的貨櫃中均藏有違法電子垃圾。由於法例允許把可再用或翻新的電子廢棄物出口至海外，很多企業會虛報電子垃圾仍可運作，以節省開支。這些電子垃圾多數會運往西非國家，由於當地處理設施落後，對環境和居民健康均構成嚴重威脅。麻省理工研究指，美國人前年共購買1.2億部手機，但全年只有1,200萬部回收，反映消費者對回收電子垃圾的意識嚴重不足。專家指，很多被丟棄的電子產品其實仍能運作，在二手市場亦有一定價值；電子垃圾未能回收亦會使產品內含的稀土礦物流失，令未來可用於製造電子零件的素材愈來愈少。■StEP網站/路透社/法新社/《星期日獨立報》/《觀察家報》迷你倉尖沙咀

（雪蘭莪 八打靈再也15日綜合訊）在兩個星期後即將邁入新的一年，self storage加上年杪逢聖誕節和1月1日的新年，平民百姓紛紛選擇旅遊度假，港台韓是大馬華人首選的出遊地。包一雄：中霧霾影響遊客人數向來熱門的中國因受霧霾等問題影響，遊客人數減少。馬來西亞華人旅遊業公會會長包一雄指出，年終旅遊配套早於月初售罄，而春假旅遊配套也在熱賣中。他今日受詢時說，12月是旅遊旺季，人們趁學校假期舉家出遊，使旅行社的生意額較平月激增2倍，於半年前開售的年終旅遊配套已於12月初售罄。他指出，台灣、香港及韓國是國人首選的年終假期旅遊地點，其次是歐洲和日本。農曆年旅遊配套已售出80%他也說，目前國人出國旅遊的熱情還未受到百貨漲價的影響，因此本季的生意額與去年同一時期不相上下，也沒有旅遊歐美的遊客轉向中港台的趨勢。2014年農曆新年距今只剩一個月半的時間，他指截至目前為止，市場上的春假旅遊配套已售出了80%，同樣以台灣、香港及韓國的旅遊配套最搶手。不過，他說，去年同一時期，旅行社大多已售完隔年的春假旅遊配套，今年的反應稍微降溫，相信是經濟不景氣開始產生效應的緣故。針對旅遊中國人數的情況，他指由於天災、霾害、環境及其他人為因素，以致今年團次較去年顯著下降30至40%，中國才跌出旅遊熱點排行榜之外。信誼旅行社：1至2日遊本地週末遊受歡迎信誼旅行社國內組經理劉偉翔指出，對選擇本地旅遊者，馬六甲、沙亞南I-City、丹絨士拔、適耕莊、芙蓉的1至2日遊是他們的首選。他今日受詢時說，相比從前耗時近一週的本地團，1至2天的週末遊如今更能吸引家庭式團友，也深受學校旅行團的歡迎，教師們都會趁學校假期期間帶學生們體驗郊外生活。他指出，12月旅遊旺季的生意額比淡季增加2倍，儘管這期間的團費較平日高10至15%，週末期間的酒店也都客滿。他說，如今的本地旅行團已不像從前只是觀光拍照，而是給予遊客更多個人活動空間，因此在出國旅遊旺季也開拓出另一個市場。正副部長紛請假首相跨年休假逾十天根據星洲日報瞭解，首相拿督斯里納吉於12月21日為馬華代表大會主持開幕後即前往麥加小朝聖，12月25日回國出席聖誕節門戶開放活動，然後休假一週，明年一月初上班；前後休假逾十天。正副部長方面，一些人已經安排休假計劃，一些則還有公務在身，無法休假。劉勝權與家人度聖誕其中旅遊及文化部長拿督斯里納茲里已經於12月10日請假，不過12月迷你倉2日開始投入工作，開會討論2014年的大馬旅遊年以及出席一系列活動。首相署部長丹斯里佐瑟古律請假一週到國外；拿督劉勝權則於12月19日起休假與家人度過聖誕節後回到工作崗位，南茜蘇克利則從18日起休假到國外度假至12月31日。而衛生部長拿督斯里蘇巴馬廉則“行程滿滿”，還沒有度假計劃；交通部副部長拿督阿吉茲卡巴拉維則忙於到國外出差，到寮國出差5天，回國後不久又再前汶萊交通部長級會議，還沒請假的計劃；教育部副部長卡瑪納拉登則沒有出國度假計劃，多數時間留在其選區烏魯雪蘭莪國會選區。中國人反應熱烈“洗肺遊”鎖定馬新此外，由於中國多個地區霧霾問題延續，新加坡中國旅行團推出“洗肺游”，讓中國遊客在出國之際順便呼吸新鮮空气，吉隆坡和新加坡是其中鎖定地點。入冬以來，中國大陸多個地區遭遇大面積霧霾天气，讓不少人吃不消。中國最大在線旅遊公司“攜程旅行网”最近就乘勢推出帶遊客到三亞五指山熱帶雨林，呼吸高負氧離子空气的旅行團，遊客反應熱烈。該网站數據顯示，中國國內10大最受歡迎“洗肺游”目的地，分別為三亞、廈門、麗江、桂林、昆明、長白山、西雙版納、貴陽、大理及黃山。推出境外“換肺游”若旅客覺得“洗肺游”不夠深入，還有旅行社推出境外“換肺游”，其中香港、台北、曼谷、新加坡與吉隆坡，是最歡迎的城市型目的地。最受歡迎的海島型目的地，則分別是普吉島、峇厘島、毛里求斯、濟州島及馬爾代夫。有网站甚至推出“新加坡洗肺之游”，介紹中國遊客到濱海灣公園、麥里芝蓄水池樹間吊橋（Tree Top Walk）和濱海堤壩“洗肺”。 編者的話爭取遊客別忘了本地人辛勞了一年，許多上班族會趁新的一年來臨前，和家人出國度假，重新充電，一開眼界，也為迎接2014年的挑戰做好準備。有人說：“休息是為了走更長遠的路”，內閣成員包括大家長納吉也不例外，前後告假約十天，讓自己從繁忙的公務中抽身，休憩身心。出國度假已成為一種趨勢，因廉航的普及以及東南亞國家消費廉宜，稍有能力者都選擇到鄰國或中、港、台、韓、日等國家，看看異國風情，品嘗風味美食。相較之下，本地旅遊卻是國人度假的第二選擇；人民只在假期太短，不足以出國的情況，才選擇留在本地度假。這種情況對推展2014旅遊年是一個障礙；國人的支持對發展旅遊業最為關鍵，沒有本地人的景區，也難以吸引外國遊客的到來。旅遊部除了爭取外國旅客，也不能忽略國內旅遊，以免得不償失。;迷你倉樂器

信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/馬躍南救火川男籃。　　　　拉達下課之後，自存倉四川愛家168男籃新任主帥馬躍南昨日火線到任。昨天下午，這位前國家隊主帥出現在了球隊力量訓練的健身房，首次與球隊進行了親密接觸。據悉，16年前馬躍南曾“險些”入川，後因執教國家女籃擱淺。而這一次答應四川男籃的邀請出任主帥，也算是完成了16年前的一個夢想。兩天前才接到電話　　穿著橫條的毛衣，頭髮有點花白，舟車勞頓趕到成都的馬躍南並沒有平日里的瀟灑。作為曾經中國女籃圈子里“最有熟男味道”的主帥，馬躍南昨天抵達成都之後就匆匆與球隊會合，下午更是觀看了球隊的訓練。　　雖然對於CBA的球迷，馬躍南這個名字並不為人所熟知，但實際上馬躍南已經有了24年的執教生涯，從國家隊到CBA再到WCBA，他是一個名符其實的冠軍教頭。特別是在9月進行的全運會女籃決賽上，由馬躍南率領的解放軍隊拿到了冠軍。馬躍南表示，實際上從他接到金強俱樂部的電話到抵達成都，只花了2天時間。“我對我自己帶了這麼多女籃隊員已經到了一個頂峰。所以也想有其他嘗試，像CBA俱樂部三個外援我也從來沒有經歷過，自己也會好奇。所以作為教練，我相信這是一種很有意思的嘗試。”　　另外，在四川朋友�多也是馬躍南同意加盟四川隊的一個重要原因，四川籃球名宿李亞光也給他打了電話。“所以就答應過來了。”教練上下課很正常　　俱樂部總經理耿潔在接受採訪時談到，由於馬躍南剛剛才接手球隊，因此會給他一個磨合期：“目前馬躍南指導才剛剛來到球隊，因此我們暫時沒有迷你倉他定下一個具體的目標。要等主教練摸一下球隊的情況，進行一下磨合之後，俱樂部才會與教練商討一個符合目前球隊情況的目標。”而馬躍南也表示，球隊沒有給他任何任務，因此他不會擔心帶不好：“一個教練上課下課很正常。其實，我是一個被罵得最多的教練，當年的中國女籃，我被罵是罪魁禍首。”　　“不管別人講什麼，我認為一個人帶球隊一定要有真才實學，成功也好，失敗也好，包括這樣的失敗不是每個人都可以經歷的，這是我的執教生涯來說是財富。我這個教練經歷是最多的，我就是一個教練，一個老師，成績好壞都不是重要的，在於你能讓這個球隊發生改變。”　　此前由於與前任主帥普拉達不和，被調整出了一線隊的金強男籃總教練葉鵬昨天也出現在了球隊的駐紮地。耿潔表示葉鵬一直都是教練組的一員，此前因為種種原因被調整了工作崗位，但隨著新任主帥的到來，葉鵬也將回歸一線隊，協助馬躍南進行工作。就是想要挑戰自我　　為什麼這次會選擇一支“升班馬”的球隊，而且在戰績排名靠後？電話那頭的馬躍南聽到這樣的問題，忍不住笑了。他說，“不是你們媒體經常那我開玩笑，說我是‘救火隊員’。”　　言歸正傳，馬躍南說，去四川就是想挑戰自己。另外，馬躍南還提到，因為離開了女籃，最近一段時間比較空。　　實際上，馬躍南不僅帶女籃成績出色，他還很善於調教新人,CBA“當紅炸子雞”李慕豪便出自門下。昨天李慕豪接受記者採訪時還對昔日恩師送上了祝福：“希望馬指導能夠帶領四川隊取得好成績。四川隊也是我們接下來很快會面對的對手，我也會全力以赴面對這場比賽。”華西都市報記者閆雯雯特約記者鄒鑫mini storage

草屯鎮長洪國浩茹素18年，迷你倉將軍澳而我則從22年前開始吃全素。經過這些年的個人經驗，加上每天診治無數罹患大腸直腸癌的病人，發現其中不乏30、40歲的年輕患者，其共通點是幾乎不吃青菜水果，而且天天吃烤香腸和烤肉，既不喝白開水，又不運動。身為大腸直腸外科醫師，我比一般人更瞭解人體大腸的構造。事實上，人體是比較適合多吃植物性的食物，畢竟肉類等高蛋白食物在經高溫燒烤、油炸、煙熏等處理過程，容易產生致癌物質，至於香腸臘肉含有亞硝酸鹽，在胃腸中會產生亞硝胺，也有致癌之虞。相反的，不論是蔬菜、水果或全穀類，因含有高纖維素，可迷你倉尖沙咀幫助腸道正常蠕動，自然每天排便順暢，尤其菇類有豐富的多醣體，它有不錯的抗癌成分，加上芝麻等堅果食物，也是補充維他命E等抗氧化物質的來源。其次是多運動、喝好水，則可提高體內的新陳代謝，透過排汗和排尿把毒素和廢物都排出體外。另外，有宗教信仰，也讓心靈有所寄託。對於某些人天天外食很難找到蔬食，其實這是藉口，因為即使無法吃到全素，但只要少吃大魚大肉，多吃蔬菜，甚至只要做到「方便素」即可。此外，如果要吃素食，建議多吃天然食材，避免素肉、素雞等過度加工的素食品。諮詢╱台中榮總大腸直腸外科主任王輝明採訪整理╱記者詹建富mini storage

Source: South Bend Tribune, Ind.mini storageDec. 14--NILES -- Niles' shooting in its boys basketball season opener Friday night was as cold as the weather.The Vikings missed 14 of their first 15 shots, hit only 28 percent for the game and fell to Mattawan, 55-46."We got a ton of shots," said Niles coach Todd Pawielski. "Offensively, we did a lot of good things. We just have to finish. We missed a lot of shots inside of three feet and we missed a lot of wide open 3s. Sixty-five shots is enough. We just have to make more."First-year Mattawan coach Ward Helakoski thought his team having a game under its belt made a big difference."Niles is athletic and they're going to be just fine," Helakoski said. "But that first game is hard sometimes. I thought we executed when we needed to and did a good job of getting to the basket in the second half. Every time they made a run, we made one right back."Niles didn't get its first field goal until Gavin Rasler scored inside just before the first-quarter buzzer. And the Vikings were behind 21-12 late in the second quarter and 26-17 midway through the third period.But even with the shooting woes, Niles had plenty of chances to win the game. A 15-2 run late in the third quarter gave the Vikings their first lead at 32-28. But the Wildcats scored the final seven points of the third quarter to take the lead back at 35-32.Niles rallied to tie the game at 41-41 with three minutes remaining. But Gabe Pelak hit a 3 to start a clinching string of nine straight points by Mattawan."It was very disappointing," Pawielski said. "We take a four-point lead in the third and gave up two straight layups. We tie the game in the fourth quarter. But with the game on the line, our defense was nowhere to be found. We stood and watched and迷你倉didn't stop the ball. It's very frustrating that our defense wasn't good enough to win the game on a night when we couldn't make anything offensively."Mattawan, 2-0, got 19 points from Pelak, including four treys. Darek Ditto added 17 points and seven rebounds, Myles Nesbitt had seven points and eight rebounds and Caleb Doonan added seven points and seven rebounds.Tate Brawley scored 12 points for Niles, but hit just 3-of-19 field goal attempts. Brawley also had four assists. The Vikings got a big boost off the bench from Jeremy Wortham (10 points, 4 rebounds) and Ra'Quon Glenn (3 assists, 2 steals). Gabriel Stokes had nine points for Niles and Rasler contributed seven points and 10 rebounds.MATTAWAN (55): Darek Ditto 7 3-4 17, Ben Richardson 2 1-3 5, Caleb Doonan 1 4-4 7, Myles Nesbitt 3 1-2 7, Gabe Pelak 7 1-2 19, Joey Knapp 0 0-0 0, Nick Haldes 0 0-0 0.

The year's TOP 20 movers and shakersA year ago, almost no one had heard of Anthony Chen or Kevin Kwan, the top two names in this year's Power List.迷你倉將軍澳Yet here they are, a film-maker and a writer respectively, two artists who, in portraying Singapore and its people in their work, have won audiences around the world.Chen's drama Ilo Ilo won the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year, as well as four Golden Horse Awards in Taipei, including the top prize of Best Feature.Kwan's novel Crazy Rich Asians is an international bestseller. In Singapore alone, it has sold more than 10,000 copies.By proving that Singapore has soft power, too, in the realms of film and writing, Chen, 29, and Kwan, 40, have made it to the top spots of the annual Power List this year.Like them, the other names on the list cover the gamut of high and low brow, affordable and pricey, new and old.So while you might have to drop a good bit of spare change at a restaurant run by the list's third-place holder, Loh Lik Peng, a man who is no stranger on the annual list, it is going to cost far less to enjoy the work of producer Melvin Ang, director Chai Yee Wei and music director Eric Ng (No.4) when their movie featuring contestants from The Voice Of China singing reality show opens here. Same with perennial power listers such as Jack Neo (No.11) and concert promoter Michael Roche (No.7).The Power List began in 2005 with separate lists for the arts, entertainment and lifestyle, but starting from last year, it became a list of 20 that combined all three sectors.A tighter ranking, we felt, would lead to a more dynamic and "competitive" list.And that has proven true in 2013, with the arrival of Chen and Kwan, as well as other new names such as the directors of lifestyle agency Massive Collective, Phillip Poon and John Langan (both at No.16), and architect Chang Yong Ter (No.20).That writer Kwan and film-maker Chen are "entering the charts at No.1 and 2", as they say on rock radio, is gladdening evidence that the Singapore arts and culture scene is alive and well. And as their international success shows, it is also eminently exportable.johnlui@sph.com.sgScores one for Singapore film1. ANTHONY CHEN, 29DirectorA year ago, Anthony Chen was in an editing room in Waterloo Street agonising over what would be Ilo Ilo, his first feature film."I was in post-production, trying to decide whether to put in the final shot of the baby's delivery," says the film-maker, who wrote and directed the semi-autobiographical work about a Singapore family adjusting to life with a Filipino domestic helper.He had incorporated actress Yeo Yann Yann's pregnancy into the story and had decided to follow through by filming the birth.Since the film's release earlier this year and its success at film festivals, he has criss-crossed the globe several times, never staying in Singapore for more than three days at a stretch. Film festivals and awards ceremonies want him in person. His travelling schedule is booked till April.This year has seen the former film student of Ngee Ann Polytechnic climb higher in global critical acclaim than any Singapore film-maker before him.The film scored the Camera d'Or prize for best debut feature at the Cannes Festival and four Golden Horse awards, including the coveted Best Feature Film prize, beating works by heavyweight directors such as Wong Kar Wai, Tsai Ming-liang, Johnnie To and Jia Zhangke.Chen also won Golden Horse awards for Best New Director and Best Original Screenplay, and Yeo took home the Best Supporting Actress prize.For putting Singapore film in the international spotlight, he vaults into the top spot on the Power List.His agents in London and Los Angeles are busy sorting scripts and pitches, some with star names attached, after his festival wins earned him a reputation for being a director who extracts award-winning performances from his cast.Chen, who is married, has come a long way from that room in Waterloo Street. But he is well aware that nothing could be worse for an artist's career than early, spectacular success."I'm very scared now. I can tell you that I'm very worried that I'm running out of luck. All the luck I need for a lifetime, I've used up. 2013 is a great year, 2014 will be downhill," he says.This is why it will be two years before he will start making his next picture. He wants to "have a script that gives me a level of confidence. Until I have that, I won't do it".He adds: "I don't want to crash and burn. I want to go in for the long run."John LuiGlitzy Singapore in fiction2. KEVIN KWAN, 40Author of Crazy Rich AsiansBillionaires who park their BMWs outside hawker centres may not raise eyebrows in Singapore, but the lives of the country's super-rich have readers around the world and Hollywood agog, thanks to writer Kevin Kwan's best-selling debut novel, Crazy Rich Asians.He makes it to the Power List for the first time for the worldwide attention paid to his opulent romp featuring jet-setting families almost straight from the pages of a society magazine.Crazy Rich Asians has been a bestseller in countries from the United States to the Philippines - and Singapore, of course, where it has sold more than 10,000 copies. It was released by international publisher Doubleday in June with an announced first print run of 75,000.The book has since been reprinted three times.Not long after its publication, Color Force, the production company behind The Hunger Games films, acquired the movie rights.Kwan has given up his job as a creative consultant for publishing projects to work on a sequel, which is likely to continue branding Singapore as the Monaco of the East.Crazy Rich Asians has garnered positive reviews from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Guardian and The Independent newspapers.Ms Jenny Jackson, senior editor at Knopf and Doubleday, who acquired Crazy Rich Asians and its sequel, told SundayLife! in an e-mail interview earlier this year: "It is impossible to read Crazy Rich Asians and not start looking around for your passport or booking flights. The way Kevin captures these fabulous cities and islands is incredibly inviting and inspiring."Kwan himself says in a telephone interview from his New York home: "I'm really grateful for the response that the book has gotten and that Singaporean readers, in particular, like the book and haven't crucified me in terms of the choices I made and the restaurants and places I mentioned."The son of an engineer and a piano teacher, he lived in a multi-generational family home on Bukit Timah Hill. His grandfather, Dr Pah Chien Kwan, was one of the founders of the Singapore Society of Ophthalmology and director of the St John Ambulance Association of Singapore.The younger Kwan attended AngloChinese School (Primary) until his parents emigrated to the US when he was 11 years old. He is now an American citizen.In an earlier interview with Life!, the bachelor admitted the book is based on things he has witnessed but had to tone down.Now he says that he did not write about any family or people in particular, especially his own. "I hear from people who say, 'We're not crazy, we're not rich, we're not even Asian but the family described in the book is just like mine'. And then they say, 'Were you writing about so and so?' And they're always wrong. It's fiction."Akshita NandaEye for suites and eats3. LOH LIK PENG, 41Hotelier-restaurateur, director of investment firm KMC Holdings and founder of Unlisted Collection, a restaurant and hotel groupLitigator-turn-hotelier and restaurateur Loh Lik Peng, who seems to have his pulse firmly on the food and beverage scene in Singapore, expanded his business empire overseas this year.He acquired St John Hotel and Restaurant in London's West End, started by famous English chef Fergus Henderson, for slightly more than ¢G1 million (S$2.05 million) and rebranded it as One Leicester Street. He also opened Commune Social, a tapas, dessert and cocktail bar in Shanghai.At home, he opened four new concept eateries which all quickly became hip hangout places.These achievements propelled him from 15th spot last year to No. 3 on this year's Power List.Today, Loh has 21 hotels and restaurants in his restaurant and hotel group, Unlisted Collection.One Leicester Street is his second hotel in London. His first one, Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green, opened three years ago.Other hotels under the group's umbrella include his first hotel, Hotel 1929 in Keong Saik Road, New Majestic Hotel in Bukit Pasoh and The Waterhouse At South Bund in Shanghai.In February, he opened Market Grill, a meat and seafood grill in Telok Ayer Street, with chef-patron Colin West.Then in May, he and British Michelin- starred chef Jason Atherton, of Pollen Street Social in London, opened Commune Social in Shanghai. The chef is also a partner in some of Loh's restaurants here, including diner-eatery Keong Saik Snacks and casual fine-dining restaurant Pollen at Gardens by the Bay, both of which opened last year.It was also in May that Loh opened Burnt Ends, a 24-seat specialist grill restaurant in Teck Lim Road with a custom-made dual cavity oven that can reach a temperature of 800 deg C.Then last month, he and his business partners opened yakitori bar Bincho in an old coffee shop space in Tiong Bahru. He is also behind The Provision Shop, a cafe that serves sandwiches and cakes, in Everton Park. The concept and its menu were thought up by his team, he says - they were keen to start a cafe.Loh, who has a two-year-old son with his wife, violinist Min Lee, 31, is humble when asked how he thinks up new concepts and how he seems to be able to tell if a concept will work."It's a gut instinct, I guess, but till this day, I really don't know what definitely will work and what definitely won't."He admits that he has had a few failures over the years, citing restaurants such as modern European restaurant Braise on Sentosa and Japanese restaurant Chiharu in Bukit Timah Road which closed.He says: "People have this impression that I'm always on a roll, but actually, that's not quite true. But sometimes, I just have a gut instinct that it's going to work. New concepts excite me."Rebecca Lynne TanBig movie break in China4. MELVIN ANG, 50, CHAI YEE WEI, 37, and ERIC NG, 37Film-making team for I Want YouI Want You is a highly anticipated China movie that has the potential to be a huge hit in the second-biggest movie market in the world.And it is helmed by a creative team from Singapore. For landing this high-profile project, producer Melvin Ang, director Chai Yee Wei and music producer Eric Ng make it to the No. 4 spot for the SundayLife! Power List.The movie is a spin-off project from the massively popular reality talent show The Voice Of China. The first season aired on Zhejiang Television from July to September last year and was ranked No.1 in its time slot for every episode, save the first.Apart from eventual winner Liang Bo in the first season, the show has also turned contestants such as Li Daimo and Momo Wu Mochou into stars. The movie stars Li and Wu, among others, and is set to be released in China on Dec 29.Given that The Voice Of China has a strong following beyond the mainland, thanks to channels such as YouTube, Ang, executive director of mm2 Entertainment, thinks it has a shot at becoming "the highest-grossing Chinese movie outside of China".So how did a creative team from Singapore come to helm this hot property?Ang says that everything came together at the right time.He had produced the music drama That Girl In Pinafore, which took part in the Shanghai International Film Festival in June.He took the chance to arrange a meeting to pitch a project with the people behind The Voice Of China and also invited them to watch Pinafore.Director Chai recalls: "The moment they saw it, they said that was exactly what they wanted to do."They had wanted to do a film for a year but nothing came out of it. They liked my style because they didn't want a musical but a music-related film."Chai, who is married with no children, roped in fellow Singaporeans Derrick Loo as cinematographer and producersongwriter Ng as music director.Given that the Chinese side had a fixed release date, making the movie turned out to be a whirlwind adventure.Ng, who is married with a daughter, says: "I usually take four to five days to arrange a song. This time, I had 14 songs to do in eight days, including writing two of them. It was totally insane. I know at the same time that this is a great chance because I've seen how these singers can sing and they are a producer's dream."Going into the project, Ang was very clear about its identity. I Want You is not a co-production but "a China production that engages specialised creative services from our side".He is married with two sons. His outfit mm2 serves as producer and is also the global distributor of the film outside of China.The 30-million yuan (S$6.2-million) film is slated for release in Singapore and Malaysia in March.Boon ChanArt fair of the people5. AFFORDABLE ART FAIR TEAMCamilla Hewitson, 34, fair director; Alan Koh, 31, marketing manager; and Florentine Horvath, 28, fair managerThey were in the fifth spot in 2011, they slipped to ninth last year and are back at No.5 for pulling off the fourth and biggest edition yet of the Affordable Art Fair.A total of 17,800 visitors went through the fair grounds at the F1 Pit Building last month and sales hit a new high of $4.9 million. Given the number of visitors, gallerists barely had time to take a break from their booths on most days.The numbers have soared from the first year's record of 9,500 visitors and $1.75 million in sales, yet the core team remains lean. It is led by fair director Camilla Hewitson, marketing manager Alan Koh and fair manager Florentine Horvath.The young and dynamic team has kept the fair evolving in the past four years. Besides keeping its signature relaxed vibe which attracts families with kids and prams in tow as well as young adults in shorts and flip-flops, it has also introduced elements such as an Under $1,000 wall of art, which keeps a savvy eye on the business aspect of the fair.Affordable Art Fair, which originated in London in 1999, is held in 12 cities including New York, Milan and Hong Kong.In Singapore, the organisers have broken perceived barriers about art, injected excitement into the market and reminded fairgoers that art-buying can be, and is meant to be, fun.Next year, the fair returns with two editions. Ms Hewitson is confident there is room for two."The art market has reached a level of maturity. There is greater interest, there are more events and more people show up for these," says the energetic Singapore-born Briton, who moved here with her British ship-broker husband in 2009.She has eight-month-old twins but she has not paused for a break. Even as the boxes move back into the office at Duxton Road, she is talking about her next baby - the May edition of the fair.Deepika ShettyIndie gig in the fast lane6. DANNY ROGERS, 39Co-founder and curator of Laneway FestivalIndie music is becoming a force to be reckoned with in Singapore and no event exemplifies it better than the annual Laneway Festival, organised by Chugg Entertainment. Its third edition in January, featuring 14 non-mainstream acts including English singer-songwriter Bat For Lashes and Australian singer Gotye, was the biggest one yet.Having outgrown Fort Canning Park, the site of its previous two outings in 2011 and 2012, the event moved to The Meadow at Gardens by the Bay to accommodate 10,000 fans for the 12-hour festival. The first two instalments pulled in 6,000 and 7,800 people.For consistently good programming that draws growing crowds, the festival is back on the Power List after a year's absence. The first Laneway Festival here earned it a No.3 slot in 2011.Laneway co-founder and curator Danny Rogers, an Australian, started St Jerome's Laneway Festival, to call it by its full name, with his good friend Jerome Borazio as a modest nine-act gig in an alleyway, or in Australian parlance, laneway, outside Mr Borazio's bar in Melbourne in 2004.The festival has branched out to other Australian cities such as Brisbane and Sydney and also overseas to New Zealand, Detroit and, of course, Singapore.Rogers, who also runs an artist management firm, takes pride in the fact that most of the acts in his festival played or will play their first gigs in Singapore at Laneway.He says: "I love it when you bring people to a new country. Singapore is such a progressive country and there is so much going on with the food, culture and just the whole experience."With the fourth edition taking place at the same venue on Jan 25 with a highly anticipated line-up that includes American sisters Haim and British group Savages, he and his team are working hard to make sure the fans have a better time than ever."The musical side of things for Singapore was fantastic but we can definitely step up with better customer service, such as free water or really good access and exits for the venue, longer bar frontage to avoid lines and more food options," says the father of three children aged six, three and 18 months. "It's all about the customer experience. We realise if we do that right, we'll win a loyal following."Eddino Abdul HadiBigger acts than ever for F17. MICHAEL ROCHE, 55Executive director of Singapore GP and managing director of Live Nation LushingtonWhen R&B pop princess Rihanna swaggered across the massive Padang stage on the final night of the Singapore Grand Prix in September, she played to the largest concert crowd in recent memory - 65,000.And that was just one of four nights of gigs by top-tier acts from the global pop and rock scene.The night before, alternative rockers The Killers blew away a 60,000-strong audience while K-pop powerhouses Bigbang brought the house down on 35,000 screaming fans.And for the first time in the Singapore Formula One history, a post-Grand Prix gig was added on, featuring no less a draw than teen idol Justin Bieber, who sang for 12,000 fervent young followers.The F1 gigs have consistently been raising the bar in terms of the quality of the acts, ensuring a spot in the Power List for Singapore GP head Michael Roche for the fourth year running.Mega stars such as Mariah Carey, Jay Chou, Katy Perry and Maroon 5 have played at the F1 gigs. This year, the turnout far outstripped previous instalments, which had topped 50,000 a night.Roche, who made it to No.2 in 2010, No.4 in 2011 and No.5 last year, says that the concerts were the culmination of hours of hard work by his team working behind the scenes."There is no rest for the wicked," he jokes. "But we work with the world's top talents and you can't moan about it. There's a lot of non-sexy stuff about the business - the legal contracts, the clauses, all these funny little things that can get quite stressful. But at the end of the day, everybody's just trying to get the best show out. I love it when I see all the smiles on the faces of not just the audiences but also the people who worked on the events."Roche, who is married with a 14-year- old daughter, has been in charge of organising the Singapore F1 event since it started in 2008. He is also a veteran in the concert scene and has been running regional concert promoters Lushington Entertainments for more than two decades.While he cannot reveal the names of the acts he is bringing in next year, he assures music fans that they "can expect more great things from us".Eddino Abdul HadiHigh bar for classical music8. YONG SIEW TOH CONSERVATORYThe 10-year-old Yong Siew Toh Conservatory debuts on the Power List for proving to be one of Asia's premier musical institutions.This year, it inked partnerships with revered musical institutions such as the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, The Royal Conservatoire in The Hague and the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva. These top-tier schools will regularly exchange faculty and students with the Singapore conservatory, which was the first to offer a bachelor of music degree here and has a total enrolment of about 200 students.Other endorsements for the school come through the interest of big names such as multiple Grammy Award-winning American conductor Robert Spano, founder of the Aspen Music Festival, who led the conservatory's 10th anniversary concert in September.Classical music circles say that the conservatory has put Singapore on the map for classical music as seen in the partnerships with reputable institutions overseas and the willingness of renowned musicians to play with the students and teach masterclasses.In October, French violinist Renaud Capucon performed a recital with conservatory students before his concert with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.Next year will see visits from esteemed British pianists Roger Vignoles and Andras Schiff.The Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, which also offers a joint degree with the well-known Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University, has enriched the classical music scene here in other ways.It organises more than 300 free concerts a year, giving the public access to quality music performances. Its students and graduates form new musical ensembles and work with existing groups such as the Singapore National Youth Orchestra.Conservatory director Bernard Lanskey, 53, who is married with two daughters and a son, says more partnerships with community organisations and schools are in the works."It's not just about full-time students becoming good at their instruments," he says. "Our role is going to be more about fostering interactions, because that is what will make it meaningful for our students."Akshita NandaWrite stuff for festival9. PAUL TAN, 43Director of Singapore Writers FestivalFor 10 days last month, the Bras Basah/ Bugis district was abuzz with literary excitement as the Singapore Writers Festival set up camp in several spaces in and around the area.This third edition of the festival headed by Mr Paul Tan has drawn the most visitors - 19,257 - to date, up from 16,200 the year before. Mr Tan, who took over in 2011, was also on the Power List last year for his rejuvenation of the festival.Together with his team, the bachelor and poet has beefed up the festival's programming and attracted a substantial number of paying readers and newcomers to the once-free event. A judicious mix of star power and strong local participation seems to have become the festival's winning formula, attracting book lovers to a mix of lectures, dinners with authors and workshops.The team scored a coup with their headliners: Nobel Literature Prize laureate Gao Xingjian; the much-loved British Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, whose appearances attracted hordes of fans; British philosopher A.C. Grayling; and awardwinning Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid.More than 3,000 festivalgoers paid for the $15 Festival Pass this year, compared to 2,300 the year before. The passes allowed them access to most panels and talks conducted at the festival, including meet-the- author sessions and the popular festival closing debate, which was titled: This House Computes That Singaporeans Are Illiterate Robots.Lectures by Grayling, Gao and Jung Chang of Wild Swans fame were sold out.Singapore writers were squarely in the spotlight, with the introduction of an all- Singaporean lecture featuring writers Adrian Tan and Gwee Li Sui.Fifty-six books by Singaporean authors were launched at the festival as well.There were also international programmers and press at this year's festival, a reflection of its increased international traction.For successful programming that struck a chord with audiences here and abroad, Mr Tan earns a place in SundayLife!'s annual power list.He says: "This festival, along with other activities, all help to create a sense that there are a lot of opportunities to learn and appreciate Singapore literature throughout the year."Corrie TanFest's dynamic duo10. LEE CHOR LIN, 50Chief executive officer of Arts Festival LimitedONG KENG SEN, 49Artistic director of the Singapore International Festival of ArtsIn abou迷你倉尖沙咀 five months, the power duo behind the new Singapore International Festival of Arts have managed to put together a company and a programme from scratch.For being the key players charged with revamping the annual event, Ms Lee Chor Lin, chief executive officer of the independent Arts Festival Limited, and theatre director Ong Keng Sen, the festival's first artistic director, have made it to the Power List for the first time in their capacity as joint heads of the revamped festival.Ms Lee, who is married with no children, made it to the Arts Power List when she was director of the National Museum of Singapore in 2005 (No. 8), 2006 (No. 3), 2008 (No. 1) and 2011 (No. 7), where she breathed new life into the institution with blockbuster exhibitions and programming.Ong, artistic director of home-grown theatre company TheatreWorks and a Cultural Medallion recipient, was on the list in 2005 (No. 4) and 2008 (No. 7) for his contributions to theatre.They now have the reins of the 36-year-old Singapore Arts Festival, which was run by the National Arts Council until last year and which took a break this year to review its direction in a crowded arts landscape.The duo have drawn on their experience in the arts industry and their international connections to get the new $6.5-million festival off the ground.The six-week festival, which will run from Aug 12 to Sept 21 next year, will open with Facing Goya, an opera by British composer Michael Nyman, and close with the New York experimental theatre company The Wooster Group's version of Troilus And Cressida. Also in the line-up is French choreographer Jerome Bel with his production of Disabled Theatre (2012).Ong and Ms Lee hope to bring back the prestige factor and excitement of the festival, which had suffered from dwindling attendances in recent years.They hope the new pre-festival outreach programme, called The O.P.E.N., will help to "contribute to the audience experience", says Ms Lee, as a festival that not only sets benchmarks of taste, but is also inclusive and accessible.Mr Ong, who is single, says: "2014 will be our launchpad year and I think there's a statement we have to put forward about how we are dynamic. Independence is supposed to bring about dynamism and flexibility, and that's what we have to try and showcase."We'll try to tap into what is good art but also to communicate that with the audience and to have a strong sense of character. It needs to be a festival with character, a bit more gutsy and vibrant."Corrie TanAh Boys rule the box office11. JACK NEO, 53Film-makerFor 14 years, Singapore's top-grossing local film was the comedy Money No Enough (1998) with earnings of $5.8 million.And then the record fell - twice - in quick succession.Writer-director Jack Neo's army-themed Ah Boys To Men, released in November last year, became the new box-office champion when it earned $6.2 million.Part 2 of the movie, released in February this year, made $7.9 million. He says: "Previously, my films have been down-to-earth and very Chinese-based, which means they neglected a big part of the market."But moviegoers also comprise Malays and Indians, he says, and the "biggest breakthrough" for Ah Boys is the fact that "everybody can relate and connect very easily" to its subject of national service.Neo, who is married with four children, makes his fourth appearance on the Power List.He was ranked No. 6 last year, No. 8 in 2009 and No. 1 in 2008 on the Entertainment Power Lists. There is good news for fans of the boys in green as a third instalment will happen - just not so soon.He says: "When a certain topic is popular, I feel that I have to protect it. I should not overuse it to the point where none of us can make another film about the army. But I will definitely make part 3 because I can't disappoint my fans."Meanwhile, he has a new movie about three rival lion dance troupes, The Lion Men, coming out for Chinese New Year.He is well aware that expectations will be high. "Each time I make a high-grossing film, I'll face pressure with the following one. I have to face things calmly and tell myself to do my best. The rest is beyond my control."Boon ChanRobinsons' extreme makeover12. ROBINSONS ORCHARDRobinsons Singapore MD Franz Kraatz, 49, and GM of merchandising Teoh Boon Hock, 42When Robinsons Orchard unveiled its flagship store last month, shoppers were wowed by the makeover the home-grown department store had undergone.Its new 186,000 sq ft store at The Heeren building had a more upmarket image, from the decor to the new fashion-forward brands that it brought in.There were 200 brands new and exclusive to the store, including French hipster label The Kooples and a beauty line by American fashion designer Michael Kors. And instead of just sorting products by brands, the store has gone big on having a "bar concept" for similar products such as shirts and fragrances so that shoppers can see their options at one go.It is a different style of shopping which not all may agree with, but it sure looks good. For the daring transformation, Robinsons Orchard makes it into the Power List for the first time. Behind the 155-year-old store's $40-million transformation is managing director of Robinsons Singapore Franz Kraatz and general manager of merchandising Teoh Boon Hock.Mr Kraatz, who is of French-German descent, was senior vice-president for sales and operations at Lane Crawford Department Store in Hong Kong for seven years. He says the new look was necessary as Singaporeans are well travelled and want new concepts. Robinsons studied the competition locally and overseas."We're a well-known brand. We've got gravitas and history but we needed to reinvent. It was a good opportunity to push and see how Robinsons could look like," he says. The team took about a year to revamp and open the store.Mr Teoh, a Malaysian who previously had his own fashion label and later worked, since 2000, in the merchandising department for Robinsons here and in Malaysia, and as well as Tangs, says they approached many brands not available hereMr Kraatz adds: "We want to be more than just a department store. Robinsons should be your lifestyle destination."Natasha Ann ZachariahFeeding K-pop frenzy13. ONE (TV CHANNEL)Mr Ang Hui Keng, 46, senior vice-president and general manager, networks, Asia, Sony Pictures TelevisionOne memorable scene in the entertainment calendar this year was of 4,000 people who packed a suburban mall just to catch a glimpse of the five cast members of the popular South Korean variety show Running Man.The autograph session was free. But more than 3,000 fans paid between $158 and $248 each for a chance to see the stars at a ticketed fan meet at the Singapore Expo.The cast of Running Man may not look like typical K-pop idols but they do not lack star power and can give Girls' Generation and Bigbang a run for their money. For pulling off the promotional appearances in October which had fans fainting in the heat of excitement, TV Channel One (StarHub TV Channel 124/820/823, SingTel mio TV Channel 513/604), which airs Korean entertainment content and belongs to Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia, is making its debut on the Power List.Mr Ang Hui Keng, Sony Pictures Television's senior vice-president and general manager, networks, Asia, says it took more than a year for the channel to organise the visit of five out of the seven cast members.The five were Ji Suk Jin, 47; Haha (real name Ha Dong Hoon), 34; Gary (real name Kang Hee Gun), 35; Kim Jong Kook, 37; and sole female member Song Ji Hyo, 32. Yoo Jae Suk, 41, and Lee Kwang Soo, 28, could not attend due to filming commitments.Mr Ang says: "All the members are busy because they have their own commitments outside of Running Man, such as in music or movies. Getting the window to have five members together was already quite rare, so we decided to go ahead and bring them in."But he wishes the channel had booked larger venues. "The reception exceeded our expectations. We are disappointed that many fans could not get tickets to the fan meet. We will learn from this experience."Besides the Running Man promotions, the channel also brought in A-list Korean actor Zo In Sung, 32, to promote the hit TV drama That Winter, The Wind Blows (2013). His fan-meet session at Suntec drew more than 4,000 fans. Last year, the channel brought in actor Lee Hyun Woo, 20, to promote the drama To The Beautiful You, which drew 6,000 fans.Before that, it flew in stars Lee Dong Wook and Kim Sun Ah for a private event for subscribers."We hope to continue organising such events at least once or twice a year. I cannot say yet who we are bringing in next year but we are always on the lookout for stars popular with our viewers," adds Mr Ang.Yip Wai YeeRisky decision pays off14. WILD RICEIvan Heng, 50, founding artistic director of Wild Rice; Tony Trickett, 57, executive directorHome-grown theatre company Wild Rice weathered a major financial storm this year and managed to come out on top.It lost the financial support of international fund manager Man Investments, the title sponsor of the biennial Singapore Theatre Festival.But Heng and Trickett, who are partners, were determined that the show had to go on.So they created In The Spotlight festival, which focused on the works of Wild Rice's resident playwright Alfian Sa'at.The risky decision paid off.More than 15,400 audience members flocked to the three-week theatre festival in July.The 97 per cent attendances (44 out of 54 ticketed performances were sold out) dwarfed the previous record of 13,500 at the Singapore Theatre Festival in 2011.With the help of other corporate and individual sponsors, including pioneer architect William Lim, the $600,000 festival was held at various venues in and around the Lasalle College of the Arts.The company staged Alfian's meditative Optic Trilogy (2001), which dissected human isolation and connection; Dreamplay: Asian Boys Vol. 1 (2000), which chronicled the joys and heartbreak of the gay community in Singapore; new work Cook A Pot Of Curry, focusing on immigration in Singapore; and free performances of his popular political docu-drama Cooling Off Day (2011).There were also public forums and playwriting workshops.Heng felt that Cook A Pot Of Curry, in particular, managed to put its finger on the pulse of anti-foreigner sentiment in Singapore in the wake of the public's responses to the controversial Population White Paper, which was released in February.Wild Rice was a mainstay on the Arts Power List from 2005 to 2008 (14th, 5th, 9th, 9th), and again from 2010 (8th) and 2011 (2nd) for its contributions to Singapore theatre.It plans to bring back the Singapore Theatre Festival in 2015 and is currently looking for a title sponsor.Next year, it will move from its studio in Kerbau Road to new premises at Leisure Park Kallang and bring back its youth wing, Young & Wild, under the tutelage of actors Rodney Oliveiro and Serena Ho.Heng, who received the Cultural Medallion this year, says of the festival line-up: "That's the key to a festival, that you want diversity and variety."These turned out to be issues that really resonated with people. There was a wonderful electricity."Corrie TanCo-curators make Biennale work15. Singapore Biennale Curatorial Advisory Sub-CommitteeLed by project directors Tan Boon Hui, 45, and Dr Susie Lingham, 48; co-chaired by Jane Ittogi, 59, and T.K. Sabapathy, 75Last year, when it was announced that the 2013 Singapore Biennale would have 27 co-curators from nine countries, some people wondered if there would be too many chefs in the kitchen.Dr Susie Lingham, director of the Singapore Art Museum and one of the project directors of the biennale, said the idea of having many co-curators came up during discussions with art practitioners.Speaking on behalf of the sub- committee, she said that while the Singapore Art Museum had the expertise, it was important to tap foreign curators to probe deeper into what was happening in the regional art scene.The co-curators have succeeded in delivering a diverse range of strong and fresh artworks that have resonated with viewers. That is why the Singapore Biennale Curatorial Advisory Sub- committee makes it to the Power List.More than 100 artworks by 82 artists and artist collectives are on show at the fourth edition which runs till Feb 16. This is also the first time that more than half the works on show are Biennale commissions.From Indonesian artist Toni Kanwa's miniature carvings to Singapore artist Shirley Soh's mixed media installation created in collaboration with inmates from Changi Women's Prison, there are many artworks that have made biennale visitors pause, linger and reflect.The various community art projects are also easy to relate to, even for those who are new to contemporary art.Viewed collectively, the works show how contemporary art practices in the region are grounded in the myths, traditions, beliefs and concerns of a particular place, area or region.There is also greater community engagement in the art-making process.Dr Lingham, who is single, says the Biennale theme, If The World Changed, has opened up "all kinds of possibilities" and the focus on South-east Asia has clearly helped.Indeed, visitors from overseas have praised the organisers for presenting art that has a strong regional perspective and for making the Biennale a distinctive South-east Asian visual arts event.Deepika ShettyHeating up the nightlife16. JOHN LANGAN, 32, AND PHILLIP POON, 36Directors of lifestyle management agency Massive CollectiveIn the nightlife scene where the tastes of partygoers change as fast as the chart-topping hits spun in the clubs, a young nightlife player has managed to hit a few home runs this year.Lifestyle management agency Massive Collective, led by Taiwanese-American John Langan and Australian Phillip Poon, is behind popular Clarke Quay nightspots Fenix Room, which opened in June, and the futuristic-themed Dream, opened in March.Both outlets pull in a full-house crowd on weekends, with Fenix earning a reputation for its chi-chi patrons who pop bottles of premium champagne, whisky and vodka, and Dream becoming a go-to place for clubbers in their early 20s.This year also saw the group venture into the Kuala Lumpur market, opening a VIP club, Providence, and a tapas-restaurant called Ohla. And last month, it launched its first cocktail bar, Provocateur or PVT for short, at Pacific Plaza in Scotts Road.An instrumental move in their expansion streak was a deal in March to become a major shareholder in publicly listed nightlife group LifeBrandz.The deal allowed them to take on a bigger consultancy role in the group's nightlife outlets in Clarke Quay and helped LifeBrandz get back in the black. The duo's successful track record in the nightlife scene this year earned them their debut on the Power List.With a new steakhouse restaurant and a craft beer bar set to open soon in Clarke Quay, Mr Poon and Mr Langan, both bachelors, are not worried about spreading themselves too thin.Mr Poon says: "We've grown as a team and we have obviously got a lot more resources at hand. Opportunities have come into play and it would be silly not to explore them further."The duo say they plan to expand their business into South-east Asia, with plans for a new healthy food delivery service and a new cafe franchise.Mr Langan says: "It's always been our style to see where the gaps are in the market and to create or innovate, even if it's something we haven't done before. We have a vision and we act fast."Mr Poon adds: "The more options there are for people, the more vibrant the whole scene becomes."Melissa KokFrom beauty to food outlets17. CYNTHIA CHUA, 42Founder and managing director of Spa Esprit Group, a beauty and lifestyle groupWhile Ms Cynthia Chua is better known for beauty brands such as waxing salon Strip and eyebrow grooming studio Browhaus, she became a serious player in the local food and beverage industry this year.Chua, who is married, spent $5 million opening four new food businesses and expanded existing brands Skinny Pizza and Tiong Bahru Bakery. This brings her group's total food and beverage portfolio here to 19 outlets.In March, it opened Kiasu Espresso at 100AM mall in Tanjong Pagar, a spin-off of gourmet coffee joint 40Hands.Both outlets are a collaboration between the group and Australian coffee roaster Harry Grover.She collaborated in June with Tippling Club's Ryan Clift to open Ding Dong, a chic South- east Asian-inspired restaurant in a shophouse in Ann Siang Road. It is their third joint restaurant after Tippling Club, which opened in 2008, and two-year-old Open Door Policy.Chua opened two new food and beverage concepts at 22 Martin Road in August - Common Man Coffee Roasters and Argentinian restaurant Bochinche.Her Skinny Pizza chain, which has four offshoots including Wheelock Place and Raffles City, now has two more outlets, at 100AM and Westgate.Orchard Road's first Tiong Bahru Bakery, a collaboration with French patissier Gontran Cherrier, opens at Tangs Market this week. On the beauty front, she spent $1 million expanding Strip and Browhaus locally into new malls 100AM and Westgate. In April, she also opened a men's grooming salon, We Need A Hero, in Tiong Bahru.Rebecca Lynne TanArt on world map18. DR EUGENE TAN, 41Director, The National Art Gallery, SingaporeDr Eugene Tan, who spearheaded the $10- million makeover of Gillman Barracks, was named director of The National Art Gallery, Singapore, in May.That position gave him the keys to the world's largest public collection of modern South-east Asian and Singapore art. The museum is slated to open in 2015.He made headlines in October when influential ArtReview magazine placed him in its annual list of 100 most powerful people in the art world. He was ranked 95 on a list which includes art heavyweights such as controversial Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and American gallerist Larry Gagosian.He is the first Singaporean to make it to the roll of honour, compiled since 2002 by the London-based art magazine.His achievements and his appointment to what will be the premier visual arts institution here have earned him a place on the Power List again. He was No. 4 on the Power List last year."I am just trying to do whatever I can to contribute to the arts here," says the former curator, who has been instrumental in getting international recognition for Singapore's visual arts.Expectations are high for The National Art Gallery, which will be housed in the City Hall and former Supreme Court.His aim is to have "a museum that will engage Singapore residents and visitors from all over the world through deep and meaningful experiences with art".Dr Tan, who is married and has a nine- year-old daughter, says being located in South- east Asia gives the new art gallery a chance to significantly "reflect and explore the nature of cultural production in Singapore and South- east Asia".This, he hopes, will create a dialogue between the art of Singapore, South-east Asia and the world.Deepika ShettyChampions of local books19. SINGAPORE PUBLISHERSEdmund Wee, 60, founder of Epigram Books; Fong Hoe Fang, 59, founder of Ethos Books; Kenny Leck, 35, founder of Math Paper PressLocal publishers Epigram Books, Ethos Books and Math Paper Press wrote an exciting new chapter in Singapore literature this year with a bumper crop of 102 new titles.For exceeding last year's 72 titles, for their support of local writing and for changing perceptions that home-grown literature lacks quality, the trio earned their place on the Power List again.They also shared a spot on the Power List last year.Ethos Books founder Fong Hoe Fang, who is married with two children, published 21 new works this year, about the same as last year's 22. The titles include prominent defence lawyer M. Ravi's memoir, Kampong Boy, and lawyer-writer Claire Tham's first novel in a decade, the warmly-received thriller The Inlet, an incisive portrait of Singapore society.Math Paper Press, a small press run by independent bookstore owner Kenny Leck, brought out 40 new titles. These included a collection of short stories by writer O Thiam Chin titled Love, Or Something Like Love; and Tender Delirium, the debut collection of Tania De Rozario, winner of the 2011 Golden Point Award for poetry.Epigram Books has published the most titles by far this year, 41. Cultural Medallion recipient Mohamed Latiff Mohamed's Confrontation was on the list, as was well- known poet Cyril Wong's debut novel, The Last Lesson Of Mrs De Souza.Epigram's children and young adult fiction titles are its bestsellers. The Diary Of Amos Lee series by Adeline Foo has sold nearly 200,000 copies to date, and another series by A.J. Low, chronicling the adventures of young detective Sherlock Sam, has sold 15,000 copies.All three publishers are constantly exploring new genres to publish at affordable prices. They hope to reach different demographics through different types of work.Mr Leck, for instance, has been stocking browsing copies of Math Paper Press books in various barbershops, hair salons and cafes across Singapore. "We like to see our books travel," the bachelor says.Mr Edmund Wee, married with two children, feels that more can be done to support the literary scene, from funding writers to sustaining the publication of local work.He is aiming to get a Singapore book onto the prestigious Man Booker Prize longlist within the next five years, reiterating that there are many stories waiting to be told.He says: "If you look at the quality of the writing, it is certainly improving. And the subject matter that Singapore authors are tackling is more mature, it's no longer navel-gazing. It's more contemporary."Mr Fong feels that the tide seems to have turned a little for Singapore literature, and that the public seems to be more receptive of home-grown writing.Corrie TanAward wins for architect20. CHANG YONG TER, 44Founder and principal architect of Chang ArchitectsThis has been a stellar year for Mr Chang Yong Ter, who picked up 12 major architecture awards, both locally and internationally.His aptly named Lucky Shophouse in Joo Chiat was the star at many awards. It bagged him the Design Award in the Special category and the Best Project Constructed Under $1.5million at this year's Architectural Design Awards, given out by the Singapore Institute of Architects.The shophouse also received the Architectural Heritage Award for conserved buildings with new developments by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).Earlier this month, he was one of nine recipients of the Design of the Year prize at the President's Design Award for the same shophouse.Overseas, he picked up the prestigious International Architecture Award and the Green Good Design Award, both given by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture, The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, and the Metropolitan Arts Press.Mr Chang, who won in the Villa Category at this year's World Architecture Festival for another residential project, the Namly House, says: "Winning depends on whether the judges are in tune with what you have built."This is the largest haul of awards for Mr Chang, who is making his debut on the Power List, not bad for someone who runs a two-man practice and does one or two residential projects a year.The National University of Singapore architecture graduate has made good on an endorsement by the URA in 2004 when it picked him as one of 20 young and emerging architects under 45 to look out for. He worked with prolific local architect Tang Guan Bee for about four years before starting his practice in 2000.The married father of two girls eventually hopes to design a public project such as a community centre or a nursing home.He says: "Houses are a good test for an architect because there's so much attention to detail and each home is specific to what the clients want and the site, unlike big projects where the design is mass produced. But it's only for the families who live in it. I want to try doing a project which will benefit more people."Natasha Ann Zachariahmini storage
