□相關部門曾經發出拆除通知，self storage但最後不了了之 □類似違建還有多處，有違建兩層多達300平米“深圳疑現最牛屋頂違建”新聞追蹤?南方日報昨日報道了深圳市南山區美加花園屋頂疑建一座“空中廟宇”，廟宇主人在裡面經常燒香拜佛。昨日，記者通過遙控飛機視頻拍攝和現場觀察，“空中廟宇”其實為一座私家小佛堂。美加花園小區管理處稱頂層屬相關業主所有，管理處亦無法進入。執法者則依然聲稱門難進、人難找，工作僵局繼續持續。但有市級現場執法者昨日將懷疑重點投向E座2103，記者撥打這名業主及同樓其他三名業主電話，均無法接通。報道至今，疑問越來越多，記者瞭解到，有媒體曾于8年前即對此涉嫌違建進行報道，為何相關部門一直坐視不管？小佛堂主人有何背景，讓執法人員頻吃“閉門羹”？●撰文：南方日報記者 李榮華 攝影：南方日報記者 魯力■小飛機航拍■小飛機航拍集裝箱大小私家小佛堂雄踞樓頂 為了一窺這座“空中廟宇”的廬山真面目，記者找到了一架遙控無線飛機，通過在附近天台遙控操作，無線飛機起飛，環繞“空中廟宇”轉了數圈，飛機攜帶的高清視頻拍攝的圖像清晰顯示，這座建築位於美加廣場五棟樓房的D棟樓頂，四周環綠，頗似懸崖上一小寺廟。記者昨日中午從D棟天台走近了這座“廟宇狀建築”。這是一座有集裝箱大小的私家小佛堂，座東向西，四周植竹，地上擺放多盆草木。小佛堂前有小蓮池，荷葉正綠。佛堂與蓮池之間的小空地上，放著一把舊式躺椅。空地的地板用鵝卵石鋪就，中央是一副黑白蓮花版刻。佛堂後面，有兩個燒香紙的鐵桶。佛堂屋頂呈金黃色，飛簷四展。佛堂前，上有一幅藏文字符，下掛門匾，上書“萬德莊嚴”，四字鎏金，意為修行功德圓滿。四扇鎏金木門緊閉，四門兩邊各有一木板對聯，右為九品蓮花獅吼象鳴登法座，左為三尊金相龍吟虎嘯出天台。兩副對聯外與四門上皆有鎏金吉祥圖。該建築外觀為中國傳統廟宇風格，但記者通過門窗玻璃內視，內部佛像及供品擺設，則為藏傳佛教風格。佛堂內依稀可見有3尊佛像，另設一尊彌勒佛，沒有見到功德箱。供桌上有藏傳八供養、八吉祥、小鑼、如意、孔雀尾、陀羅尼經塔等。小佛堂主人到底是誰？焦點1小佛堂主人到底是誰？目前，找不到人，進不了門，是轄區執法隊的兩個說法。據在E棟21樓駐守的執法人員介紹，這兩天，只有一名女子從E座2101房走出來，但拒絕接受工作人員的詢問。記者看到，在現場，深圳市、區兩級規劃土地監察部門也已介入此事，並向E棟E座2102、E座2104兩戶補充貼出了協助調查通知書。沙河執法隊之前曾稱，經從相鄰樓頂觀察，涉嫌加建的“廟宇”可能屬於E座2103或D座1904。日前已向這兩家貼出協助調查通知書，但迄今沒有回應。“我們現在不敢排除D座1904與該建築無關，但他們家沒有通往空中廟宇的通道。”市規劃土地監察支隊一名工作人員昨日現場表示，從最新的調查結果顯示，D座1904的嫌疑可能性不大。根據業主登記材料以及上海證券報報道，E座2101業主溫某樹也是E座2103業主吳某瓊配偶的表弟。E座2103業主疑為一家公司股東，其配偶為一名省政協委員。深圳市、區兩級規劃土地監察部門稱，E座2104業主昨日已前往沙河街道執法隊協助調查，但沙河街道執法隊副隊長劉某對此予以否認。執法隊員能否去現場？焦點2執法隊員能否去現場？樓頂消防樓梯的門被鎖死，一直是街道執法隊及轄區消防民警認為無法實地調查的理由，但記者昨日在現場發現，D棟一個消防梯的門豁然大開，要過去“空中廟宇”實地調查，其實只需翻過一個水池和護欄。沙河執法隊劉副隊長稱，他們目前的顧慮，是如果未徵得業主同意擅自闖入民宅，可能會構成侵權。但廣東瑞霆律師事務所律師溫海寬認為，樓頂天台屬於樓層業主公共所有，而勘查是否違建手段也形式多樣，執法隊的說法似乎有推諉之嫌。“其實拿出圖則來到對面樓頂比照一下，就能知道是否違建，通過其他途徑進去檢查也是沒問題的。檢查權是行政機關在行政執法中可以行使的一個權力。”溫海寬稱。聽了律師的解釋，劉副隊長表示，目前該執法隊只查看到幾個業主的產權資料，正在調看整個E棟竣工圖和外觀圖，研究小佛堂是否違建。但劉副隊長對於找不到業主頗感為難，“你現在不知道廟是誰的，你開處罰單給誰？難道開給某某迷你倉嗎？還是要找到業主才行。”8年前報道迄今無回應？焦點38年前報道迄今無回應？2005年7月13日，南方都市報曾以《歐式樓頂建了個廟》為題，報道了這座“空中廟宇”。據當時報道，該“廟宇”是2003年所建，據說是21樓業主建造的，該業主每天都會拜神，但報道沒有指名業主身份。報道稱，2003年該業主建“廟”時管理處就阻止過，但該業主認為自己花了錢買下了頂層，擁有了使用權，如何處理這片空間是私人行為，最後廟宇還是建成了。當時物業管理處蔣主任表示，如果沒有業主投訴，管理處就不作處理，但如果執法部門對廟宇進行處理，管理處會配合。時任沙河街道辦分管城管工作黨委委員張海亮表示，只要沒有向規劃部門和國土部門報批，就是違法建築。不知為何，這件事後來不了了之。沙河街道執法隊成立于2011年11月，執法隊副隊長劉某之前向南方日報稱，該隊自成立至媒體曝光該“廟”前，一直沒有收到關於D棟樓頂空中廟宇的投訴。那麼，相關職能部門在8年時間里，為什麼一直沒有覺察此事？美加廣場業委會主任陳先生稱，據其所知，轄區沙河街道之前曾發過相關拆除通知。對此，沙河街道沒有正式回應。小佛堂僅是“冰山一角”？焦點4小佛堂僅是“冰山一角”？據美加廣場小區業委會主任陳先生介紹，小佛堂只是美加廣場違建“冰山一角”，“美加廣場多棟高樓樓頂有違建，違建背後與物業腐敗相關”。陳先生透露，小佛堂擁有業主建高速公路賺了錢後建設了這座佛堂。涉嫌加建的業主不僅佔用了D棟的消防平台，還在E棟的頂樓私自加建了兩層。記者通過遙控無線直升機所拍視頻及現場觀察，發現僅憑目測，兩層加建的樓宇將近300平方米。陳先生稱，加建的廟宇和樓層已經建了將近10年，是當年的物管處給業主大開綠燈。美加廣場物業公司負責人自稱才入職工作幾個月，對之前事宜不知悉。陳先生的話到目前為止無法核實。部門說法深圳市宗教局：該涉嫌違建“跟宗教扯不上關係”據悉，建廟宇需要向市宗教委員會報批，而廟宇的拆除也需要尊重宗教信仰，那麼，對於這個樓頂小佛堂，宗教管理部門如何看？深圳市宗教局宗教科黃致誠科長介紹，南方日報報道此事之後，深圳市宗教局高度重視，找南山區宗教部門咨詢，他們目前還不徹底瞭解此事。根據其掌握的相關情況及記者昨日的介紹，黃致誠認為，這個私人小佛堂根本不是宗教活動場，“跟宗教扯不上關係”，是一個涉嫌違法的建築。如果按照宗教事務條例和《宗教活動場所設立審批和登記辦法》，目前，我國的社會組織和個人不能設立宗教場所，只有宗教團體申請獲批後才可。比如，建設佛教寺廟，要佛教協會提出，經過區、市、省各級相關部門把關通過後才能開始投建。審批環節要經過規劃、國土、消防、安監、文物等部門許可。除了法律文書，居民區設置還要徵詢當地的街道辦和社區居民意見，“這是基本流程”。市規土監察支隊：一經確認違建業主立即依法查處市規劃土地監察支隊稱，本周，南方日報等媒體報道了南山區沙河街道美加花園D棟樓頂存在疑似廟宇的情況，市、區、街道三級查違機構非常重視，8月21日上午聯合派出執法人員赴現場進行了調查，有關情況如下：美加花園D棟與E棟為連體高層住宅，其中D棟高19層，E棟高21層。媒體報道疑似廟宇建築位於D棟樓頂。經現場查看，D、E棟通往樓頂的消防門均已上鎖（記者現場看到D座消防門已打開），其中E棟消防門還安裝了指紋密碼鎖。美加花園小區管理處稱頂層屬相關業主所有，管理處亦無法進入。沙河街道執法隊稱，其執法人員至今未能進入現場查勘。根據查違職責分工，該案件查處工作主要由南山區規劃土地監察大隊承擔。為儘快確定涉嫌違建業主，沙河街道執法隊目前已向部分業主發出了《協助調查通知書》，要求配合調查，並從20日晚開始，派出工作人員專門駐守E棟21層，未發現住戶人員出入。該執法隊已向產權登記部門調閱相關業主資料聯繫業主。市規劃土地監察支隊要求沙河街道執法隊：一是一經確認違建業主，立即依法立案查處；二是儘快聯繫規劃審批部門，核查D、E棟的竣工驗收情況；三是及時主動向媒體通報工作進展情況。圖片說明:深圳南山樓頂涉嫌違建小佛堂航拍視頻截圖。; ?小佛堂後擺放著兩個焚燒爐。; ▲小佛堂內供奉著幾尊佛像。; 小佛堂前有一座小橋通向樓頂另一建築。文件倉

NEW YORK, August 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --CertusBank has successfully launched their new online banking experience, based on Backbase technology.迷你倉出租Backbase, the Bank 2.0 Portal specialist, announced today that their client CertusBank has successfully launched a new online banking experience based on innovative Backbase technology. The new website, which took just three months to rollout from concept to execution, is a total transformation for the bank and delivers an enhanced experience to all of CertusBank's customers.(Logo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121002/567102 )(Photo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130821/635531 )CertusBank, who wanted to completely transform their digital channels and create a customer-centric online experience, chose Backbase to be their new Bank 2.0 technology provider in December 2012. The project began in early 2013 and within three months CertusBank was able to roll out their new website, which was seamlessly integrated with their online and mobile banking experiences.

The compares with the national average $3,201.The cost breakdown in Wisconsin: repairs, $329; taxes-fees, $796; gasoline, $1,063; and insurance, $591.The highest-cost state for drivers is Georgia at $4,233. Bankrate noted that Georgians spend a lot of time in their cars, in part becasue of Atlanta's sprawling communities and a lack of public transportation -- factors that lead to long commutes with above-average gasoline costs and 迷你倉庫nsurance rates. Georgia also has the highest state automobile tax and fees, Bankrate said.The survey found Oregon had the lowest car-operating costs at $2,204. Oregon doesn't have a state sales tax. In addition, insurance costs are relatively low and the typical resident drives 16% fewer miles than the national average, Bankrate said.Bankrate determined the cost of car ownership for each state by using median insurance premiums from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, average repair costs from CarMD.com and average automobile taxes and fees from Kelley Blue Book. Bankrate said it estimated average gasoline spending using average pump prices from GasBuddy.com.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Visit the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at .jsonline.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存

St. Thomas Aquinas (13-2)Outlook: The drive for state championship No. 8 is well underway at Aquinas.Aquinas opens its schedule with a long-anticipated showdown with Miami Northwestern August 31 at Sun Life Stadium.After a bye week, the Raiders head to New Orleans to take on defending national champion John Curtis Christian (La.) at the Superdome. Aquinas then returns home to face much-improved Miramar, a team it has lost to each of the past two seasons.If things go really well, and other South Florida powerhouses don't fare as well against their out-of-state competition, the Raiders will have set themselves up for a potential run at national title No. 3.Coach Rocco Casullo's team will undoubtedly keep its focus on repeating as Class 7A state champions.The Raiders have another talent-rich squad that is led on defense by senior tackle Anthony Moten and senior defensive back Al Harris. Sophomore defensive lineman Nick Bosa is one of the best儲存nationally at his position and another emerging leader.On offense is where Aquinas is counting on senior quarterback Wade Freebeck, a transfer from Western to take command. Freebeck has several talented receivers including senior Corey Holmes and junior Devante Peete.Aquinas should be able to run the football successfully again with talented backs Mardre London and Deltron Sands running behind a stacked line that features seniors Nick Linder, Ryan Crozier, Tyler Deever and Kai Absheer.The road through Broward County is pretty much the same with Plantation likely the biggest obstacle in District 15-7A in addition to games against Cypress Bay and Deerfield Beach.

By Fan FeifeiMonkeys at Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi province, one of the China’s top scenic spots, have been put on contraceptives to curtail their breeding.迷你倉價錢Specialists warn that this cannot control the number of monkeys as tourists are making the monkeys lazy by feeding them. With their food supply guaranteed, monkeys do not need to forage for food and have more time for breeding.A park official said 50 monkeys were introduced to the scenic spot at the end of 2005, according to a China News Service report on Saturday. That number has more than doubled.A staff member of the management office ofShimenjian scenic area on Lushan Mountain told China Daily that they have been feeding contraceptive pills to the primates for four or five years.The monkeys are at three key locations on Lushan Mountain: Xianrendong, Datianchi and Sanbaoshu.While the monkeys are a major attraction, they can be a nuisance and sometimes attack visitors. “These monkeys are wild and can scratch, attack and injure tourists,” the staff member said.Because they do not fear humans, they often try to grab snacks tourists mi迷你倉庫ht be eating or, worse, tourists will throw food at them.Warning signs have been posted around the mountain alerting tourists. However, tourists routinely ignore the signs and continue to give monkeys food. This emboldens the monkeys and makes them more confident.The pills are given to the monkeys in March and September each year, their mating season.Sun Quanhui, an adviser to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, said this is “understandable and acceptable”.Hua Ning, a campaign manager for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said that contraceptive pills were not the only answer.A fixed “meeting point” where humans can observe the monkeys safely should be set up, reducing any contact that allows food to be taken or given.The news also triggered discussions on the Internet. A netizen named “Shida” commented on Sina Weibo that there are also other ways to control the number of the monkeys, such as introducing natural enemies and reducing the number of tourists. Another netizen whose username is “Maltose” deemed it is the human beings’ behavior that interrupts the monkeys.儲存

今年上半年，新蒲崗迷你倉東莞新註冊登記汽車76229輛，目前東莞汽車保有量已經達到129萬輛左右，東莞平均每百戶城市居民家庭擁有汽車數量也早已超過上海、廣州等城市。如今，汽車已經成為東莞市民的家庭必備品，而自駕游也成為了東莞市民比較喜歡的出游方式。自駕游的目的地很多，更多的人會選擇到省內的景點，但如今景點濃厚的商業氣息使得不少市民嚮往原生態、相對“無汙染”的旅遊地點。在東莞厚街一家大型港資企業工作的讀者劉先生告訴記者，他的家鄉桐樹坪村就是一個原生態的山村，距離東莞300多公里，非常適合東莞市民前往休閒放鬆。記者跟隨劉先生自駕前往這個位於揭西的山村，感受原生態的鄉村之美。頗具挑戰性的山路劉先生在東莞打拼多年，如今在厚街鎮的一家大型港資企業擔任中層管理人員。他的收入已經可以讓他過上比較好的物質生活，但讓這個在揭西桐樹坪村走出來的新莞人無比懷念寧靜的家鄉。所以，每年總有那麼一兩次，他會約上東莞這邊的朋友，遠離城市的喧囂，自駕車到家鄉的山村中享受寧靜的周末。周六一大早，記者隨同劉先生從東莞出發，踏上原生態山村自駕之旅的路途。從東莞到揭西縣，距離是300多公里。從南城出發的話，從鴻福路開至八一路，根據指引進入珠三角環線高速公路，在到達惠東後，沿匝道轉至廣惠高速公路，然後在凌坑互通入口處進入沈海高速公路，駛至陸豐市霞湖站就可以下高速了。從陸豐下高速後，記者一行沿S240和S335省道向北前行，穿越陸河縣內的大安、河口、東坑、水唇、五雲等鎮，終於抵達揭西縣城河婆鎮，稍作休整，便沿著X098縣道向良田鄉和西田鄉進發了。雖然在陸河縣境內已經走過一些蜿蜒曲折的上坡路，但X098縣道的彎道之多、轉彎之急還是令人出乎意料。因為這條縣道是依山而建，所以經常會出現“幾”字形的彎道，而且這些彎道不時還是首尾相接，急彎緊接著急彎，一些比較平緩的大彎道在這裡可以視同直路了。劉先生說，如今這段路已經比以前好走多了，起碼不再是黃泥路了。這樣的道路頗具挑戰性，喜歡駕駛的人會從中感受到樂趣，適合技術純熟的司機。在這段山路間行走，不時會被頻繁轉變的離心力晃得左搖右擺，而且由於海拔在不斷升高，有時候還會出現耳鳴的狀況。記者後來翻看了行車記錄儀，其拍攝的視頻仿如賽車電影裡面的第一人稱視覺鏡頭，驚險刺激。大山里寧靜的鄉村車越走地勢越高，原本對面山似乎並不遙遠的村落，在不知不覺間已經變得遙不可及。記者一行所走的山路位於蓮花山脈，這位於廣東東北部的山脈有多座超過1000米的山峰，在前往桐樹坪村的路上所能看到的最高峰便是位於該村西面與五華縣交界的李望嶂山。山峰高聳入雲，海拔達1222米，仿似一個巨人坐著，俯視著其腳下的一切。在山間行走，可以讓城市人重拾對大自然的敬畏。從河婆鎮出發接近一個小時，穿過了良田鄉，最後終於來到了位於西田鄉的桐樹坪村。這是一座不為人知的客家小山村，由於地處偏僻，經濟發展非常滯後。“西田鄉是揭西縣最邊遠、條件最艱苦的一個鄉，有1600多人的桐樹坪村坐落在海拔600多米的一個盆地里，四周是層巒疊嶂的大山……”這是2002年《人民日報》對桐樹坪村的描寫，這也是這個小山村少有的一次在主流媒體上露臉。在桐樹坪村環顧四周，會發現自己正mini storage處群山的包圍之中，四周的山峰起伏有致，而獨獨留出了中間的這一片平地，村民的樓房就在這片相對平整的土地上高低錯落地築就，而在村屋之間就是被分割開的小片田地。8月，正是水稻茂盛生長之時，田地上一片綠油油。在村內的細溪背寨有一片面積較大的稻田，就位於村內蜿蜒的小溪旁邊，在陽光之下就連深綠色也顯得格外亮眼。當風吹過的時候，田地邊上的水稻先是伏下了身子，然後又猛地立起來，依次傳遞，仿如稻田上泛起了波浪。桐樹坪的生活節奏是非常悠閑的。每天除了農忙之外，村民們或是在家門口乘涼，或是互相走訪，一邊談天說地，一邊細品茗茶。而在村屋之外，雞犬相聞，隨處可見放養的家雞和互相嬉鬧的土狗，尤其在村內的老寨，幾乎是每家都養了一隻狗看家。在山村之中，除了悠閑和寧靜之外，令人印象最深刻的就是宜人的氣候。就在記者前往桐樹坪的那天，東莞的溫度超過30度，而山村因為海拔高再加上群上環繞，氣溫只有25度左右，加上山間吹來的微風，清涼得像是開了空調一般。劉先生說，每次他帶東莞的朋友過來他們都不願意下山，因為覺得山中清涼的氣候和無汙染的空氣對人體有益。消逝中的鄉村建築平時在東莞的鄉村中行走，村中的建築都是大體相似，就像一個挨一個的方形盒子，只是大小高矮顏色有些微差別。在省內的其他鄉村行走的時候感覺也是如此，過分單調的建築和粗糙的建築工藝所帶來的就是“千村一面”的景觀，叫人索然無味。在桐樹坪，一些新修建的村屋建築風格也和我們常見的“盒子”差不多，但由於山村比較封閉落後，因此有部分古舊的建築得以保存，讓人可以一窺當年的鄉村風貌，以及歷史車輪的痕跡。劉先生帶記者來到了細溪背寨的一個小山坡前，那裡有一座古舊的祠堂，祠堂周圍還有幾間村屋，再加上小山坡下的村屋，形成了一個磚瓦結構的小建築群。村中人皆姓劉，這座祠堂便是劉氏祖祠。沿著長滿野草的石階拾級而上，稍作打量，不難發現祠堂雖然主體結構仍在，但荒廢已久：推開大門，園內雜草叢生，屋頂的瓦片也掉落了許多，被粉刷成白色的內壁上還有“為祖國而學習”之類的大紅字標語。劉先生介紹，祠堂在上世紀五六十年代被生產隊徵用，變成了“桐樹坪學習大隊”的根據地，牆上的字跡便是當年留下的。而祠堂旁邊的房子“積善居”也已荒廢，據原本住在屋子老人介紹，上世紀六七十年代，村里掀起“除四舊”的運動，門上的石刻門匾“積善居”被造反派用白漆潑得面目全非。如今，歷經幾十年風雨後，屋簷殘破，正好在門匾正中破了個洞，經雨水沖刷後，中間的白漆被洗掉，只有“善”字清晰可見。不過，要說到建築，保存得比較好的還是良田鄉嶺下村客家大院，這座大院建在相對平坦的區域，採用的是客家傳統的“九廳十八井”結構，和“土樓”、“圍龍屋”並稱客家三大典型建築結構。每個朝外的大門都有不同的門匾，如“允藏樓”、“彭城門第”、“慶雲門”、“祿閣家風”等。資料顯示，“九廳十八井”是客家人結合北方庭院建築，適應南方多雨潮濕氣候及自然地理特點，採用中軸線對稱布局，廳與庭院相結合而構建的大型民居建築。據當地老人介紹，這座大院由他們祖先所建，至今已有數百年曆史，如今極少有人居住。可惜的是，大院由於缺乏資金支持長年無人修葺，如今已經越發的破舊，令人嗟歎。南方日報記者 龔名揚self storage

SINGAPORE and Hong Kong have acted out the tale of two cities for quite some time. But the more the tale goes on, the more unpalatable it is to Hongkongers, who since their city's handover to China have been relentlessly outstripped by Singaporeans. What is most frustrating, however, is that there seems to be no way for Hong Kong to free itself from the political mire it is stuck in and to once again forge ahead.Therefore, the new ideas and mindset outlined for his government by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien-loong at the National Day rally give Hongkongers much food for thought.Lee's new governmental policy ranges from hardware construction (including the expansion of Changi Airport and the relocation of the port) to strategic adjustments in matters related to people's livelihood (including medical care, housing, and education). This latest development in the tale of the two cities shows Singapore travelling full steam ahead, while Hong Kong keeps going backwards.And what particularly pulls at Hongkongers'heartstrings is probably Singapore's housing scheme.While more than 80 percent of Singaporeans are already housed in Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats, Lee has pledged to see to it that even low-income families can buy HDB homes, declaring that a family earning S $1,000 (about HK $6,000) a month will be able to afford a two-room flat; a family earning S $2,000 (about HK $12,000), a three-room flat; and a family earning S$4,000 (about HK$24,000),a four-room flat. In solving the housing problem,Singapore has for long been far ahead of Hong Kong. Now the Singaporean government is taking yet another step ahead to make sure that every working family can afford an HDB flat. The living conditions of Singaporeans are now more than ever the envy of Hongkongers.In the parliamentary general election Singapore held two years ago, while the People's Action Party still won a dominant 81 percent of the seats, it lost about 6 percent of the voter support it had previously enjoyed. In reviewing the election results, Lee described the election as a "watershed" for Singapore. The new policy changes he announced at the public rally on Singapore's 48th National Day are generally regarded as a response to the "setback" his party suffered in the election.After Hong Kong's handover to China, Hong Kong has been going backwards all the time whereas Singapore has continued to press forward. This can only be attributed to the two cities' different political systems. The People's Action Party is the only major political party in Singapore, which in effect means a one-party dictatorship. However, as the ruling party it enjoys the governmental legitimacy conferred by elections, so its policies can be effectively introduced and implemented. Hong Kong's Chief Executive, on the other hand, does not have the legitimacy required, and the government does not command a steady majority in the Legislative Council. This,essentially, is why the Hong Kong SAR government is severely handicapped in its administration. It istrue that the election of the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council by universal and equal suffrage cannot solve every problem, but their election by a small circle of privileged people means no problem can be solved, as the past 16 years have fully testified.We are convinced that, if Hong Kong is given the chance politically and if the "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" principle is faithfully implemented, Hong Kong will not lose to Singapore.Otherwise, this tale of two cities will probably soon come to an end. For Hong Kong will no longer count.英語社評聲檔english.mingpao.com/critic.htm明報社評2013.08.20新加坡這面鏡子港人照得很不自在星港這齣「雙城記」並非新鮮事物，迷你倉出租只是愈演下去，港人愈感覺不是味兒。回歸以來，港人不但因為星洲超前領先而惆悵，最主要是看不到香港如何走出政治泥淖，重新奮起。因此，新加坡總理李顯龍在國慶群�大會上宣示的治國新理念、新思路，使人感慨不已。李顯龍展示的治國新方略，從硬體建設（擴建樟宜機場、搬遷港口等），到關乎民生的醫療、住屋、教育的戰略調整兼備。「雙城記」最新景�，使人看到新加坡向前奔跑，香港則在往後踏步。其中最能觸動港人情緒的，相信是星洲的房屋政策。李顯龍在逾80%新加坡人已經居住在組屋的基礎上，提出確保低收入家庭都可以買到組屋，包括月入1000 元（坡元，下同，伸約6000 港元）的家庭，負擔得起2 房式組屋；月入2000 元（約1.2 萬港元）家庭，買得起3 房式組屋；月入4000 元（約2.4 萬港元）家庭，供得起4 房式組屋。新加坡於解決國民居住問題，本已大幅領先本港，現在還要確保每個有工作的新加坡家庭都負擔得起一間組屋，相信港人要在更高層次羡慕新加坡人的居住環境了。兩年前新加坡的選舉，人民行動黨雖然在國會仍佔壓倒性的81%議席，但是流失了約6 個百分點選票，當時，李顯龍就選舉結果，形容是新加坡的「分水嶺」，他趁48 年國慶群�大會宣示的新治國方略，被認為是對這次選舉「失利」的回應。回歸之後，香港和新加坡的此消彼長，政治體制是關鍵。新加坡人民行動黨一黨獨大，變相一黨專政，不過，這是透過選舉機制而得出的權力結構，確保了執政黨的政策得以推行和落實。香港的特首欠缺足夠認受性、政府在立法會得不到穩定支持，這是特區政府施政寸步難行的根本原因。以普及而平等辦法選出的特首和立法會，並不能解決全部問題，但是靠特權和小圈子選舉產生的特首和立法會，則根本什麼問題都解決不了。這是過去16 年已經充分驗證的情�。我們堅信：在政治上給香港機會，確切落實港人治港，不相信香港會輸給新加坡。若非如此，則這齣「雙城記」大概演不下去了，因為香港將出局。Glossaryunpalatable /?n'pal ?t ?bl/unpleasant and not easy to acceptoutstrip /a �t'str �p/be faster, better or more successful than somebody you are competing againstwatershed /'w �:t ?�ed/an event or a period of time that marks an important change

　　中新網8月21日電 據澳洲新快網援引澳大利亞《每日電訊報》報道稱，儲存澳大利亞依靠中國中產階級振興旅遊業的能力，由於聯邦政府沒能允許更多航班來澳而面臨威脅。　　一個主要國際機場負責人當時曾經警告過時任總理的吉拉德(Julia Gillard)和交通部長艾本理(Anthony Albanese)。4個月前，這位負責人稱澳境內的機場需要為中國遊客增加班次數和座位數。　　墨爾本機場總裁伍德拉夫(Chris Woodruff)說：“現實是，機場遇到了嚴格的限制。澳大利亞和主要亞洲市場之間的航班服務發展未來，被嚴格的限制了，除非政府趕緊採取措施進行協商，建立新的雙邊協議。”　　根據目前和中國政府的協議，每周外國飛機從中國到澳大利亞提供總共2.25萬個座位。墨爾本機場公司事務經歷弗朗西斯(Matt Fra新蒲崗迷你倉cis)說，座位的限制需要取消，每周應該提供至少3.1萬個座位，才能滿足發展需求。　　中國來澳遊客數量增長速度很快，7月份墨爾本和悉尼機場的中國遊客數量比去年增加了20%。中國中產階級對於澳大利亞來說是個利潤豐厚的市場，每架國際A380航班一年會為澳經濟注入3.88億元，創造5000個全職工作。不過，自從2012年2月以來，中國航線的運載能力沒有被提高。　　弗蘭西斯說，政府在等待“中國政府安排下一個回合的談判。然而，我們認為這一事務非常緊迫，我們應該掌握先機。”　　政府此前成功地和馬來西亞簽訂了新的航空服務協議，增加大馬來澳運載能力40%。今年末以前，低成本航空公司AirAsia X將成為澳大利亞第四大外國航空公司，每周的航班數從35架增加至54架。標簽：中國 澳大利亞 吉拉德 伍德拉夫 墨爾本mini storage

Curbs set to stay in place until prices fallIncreased supply and rising interest rates could see prices fall by 20 per cent, but until this happens the cooling measures will likely stay in placePleas by real estate agents for the Hong Kong government to relax its measures aimed at cooling down the property market are likely to fall on deaf ears until prices have fallen further, say analysts.mini storage“We are only likely to see some relaxation in the measures once home prices have fallen by 15 to 20 per cent – and even then the administration will be careful about which measures it will relax,” said Andrew Lawrence, managing director of equities research for real estate at Malaysia-based investment bank CIMB Securities.Echoing these views, Bocom International property analyst Alfred Lau said increased housing supply and rising interest rates could combine to bring house prices down by as much 20 per cent over the next three or four years, and until this happened the cooling measures were likely to remain in place.Interest rates were likely to begin rising next year and new supply would come on stream in 2016 and 2017, said Lau. Every one percentage point rise in mortgage rates could translate into a fall in home prices of up to 6 per cent, he added, and mortgage rates could more than double from their present 2.2 per cent to 5 per cent.“The government will not lift the measures until this correction gets under way,” said Lau.Chief executive Leung Chun-ying said on Sunday he understood the curbs had affected the business of property agents and other home services, but defended the measures because, he said, they had been effective in cooling down the red-hot market.On August 5, Leung wrote in his blog that the government would neither relax nor withdraw its property-cooling measures as hot cash remained abundant in the global market.Lawrence, one of the most bearish property analysts in the city, said limited first-time bself storageyer demand, increasing supply, and the potential rise in interest rates could see home prices fall by 10 to 15 per cent next year, and a further 15 to 20 per cent in 2015, and the government would not withdraw its measures until this correction got under way.Property agents took to the streets in protest on July 7 to urge the government to ease the cooling measures, complaining that their business was suffering from huge drops in commission incomes.They threatened “more radical moves”, including camping outside government headquarters in Admiralty if the government maintained its doubling of stamp duty, which agents say is to blame for a massive decrease in sales.Home sales are running at 43 per cent below the level in February before the government announced it would double stamp duty on purchases of all properties valued at more than HK$2 million.But prices have so far barely budged despite the sharp fall in sales, and the benchmark Centa-City Leading Index stood at 119.3 for the week ended August 11, versus a mid-March peak of 123.66 – a fall of 3.5 per cent versus the 20 per cent fall in sales transactions over the same period.The resilience of prices would ensure that the government’s measures remained in place for the time being, said CIMB’s Lawrence. When the government did act its first step would likely be a relaxation of loan ceilings rather than a cut in stamp duties.The Legislative Council, now in its summer recess, has yet to pass two bills to impose three new property taxes: a 15 per cent “buyer’s stamp duty” levied on foreign and corporate buyers of residential flats; a “special stamp duty” on the resale of flats within three years, up from two years and levied at higher rates; and a doubling of stamp duty for all buyers of all types of property except Hong Kong permanent residents who don’t already own a flat.Though yet to be given the formal nod by Legco, the measures are already being applied.迷你倉

數日後出庭，迷你倉價錢因煽動暴力罪名接受審理巴迪亞資料照片。埃及當局20日說，已經逮捕穆斯林兄弟會最高領導人、“總導師”穆罕默德·巴迪亞。巴迪亞原定數日後出庭，因煽動暴力罪名接受審理。國際方面，聯合國秘書長潘基文呼籲埃及當局釋放前總統穆罕默德·穆爾西，給予穆兄會政治空間；美國政府表示，也許將削減對埃及經濟和軍事援助。逮捕“總導師”埃及官方通訊社中東社報道，安全部門依據情報獲知巴迪亞藏身地，在首都開羅北部納賽爾城一處住宅內逮捕他。《今日埃及報》援引內政部長穆罕默德·易卜拉欣的話報道，巴迪亞20日凌晨被捕。埃及官方和民營電視台播放了巴迪亞被捕畫面。內政部在社交網站主頁發佈一張照片，顯示巴迪亞坐在一輛汽車里，由兩名身穿防彈衣的人看押。巴迪亞現年70歲。埃及檢方7月指控他和多名穆兄會人員煽動暴力，致死多名示威者。巴迪亞和兩名副手定于本月25日出庭受審。潘基文吁放人穆斯林兄弟會1928年組建。穆巴拉克擔任埃及總統期間，穆兄會屬於非法組織，在地下活動。穆巴拉克2011年下台後，穆兄會成立自由與正義黨，黨主席穆爾西去年贏得總統選舉。今年7月，軍方解除穆爾西職務，引發大批穆兄會支持者街頭抗議和流血衝突。埃及臨時政府總理哈齊姆·貝卜拉維已經提議解散穆兄會。聯合國秘書長潘基文19日呼籲埃及當局釋放穆爾西，或者把他置於透明的法律程序之下。潘基文說：“穆兄會的政治空間非常有限，應獲得擴展……埃及社會分化嚴重，當局和政治領袖們都有責任結束暴力。他們應共同盡全力，立即制定可靠方案，遏制暴力，恢複政治進程。”美考慮減援助就埃及局勢，美國政府19日表示，可能削減對埃援助，但尚未作出決定。國務院發言人珍·普薩基當天在記者會上否認《紐約時報》報道，即美國已經停止對埃經濟援助。她說，國務院正在考慮，是否會因埃及軍方解職穆爾西和流血暴力削減援助，但尚未決定。美國是埃及主要援助國，每年提供大約13億美元軍事援助和2.5億美元經濟援助。普薩基說，即使決定削減經援，金額可能不足總額半數。另外，總統貝拉克·奧巴馬可能會削減部分軍援。路透社評述，普薩基的表態出人意料，原因是國務院上月說，政府將設法繞開法律規定，繼續向埃及提供軍援。按照美國法律，如果受援方發生政變，美方將停止援助。美國政府迄今未認定穆爾西下台屬於政變。普薩基說，美方本財政年度應向埃方提供大約12.3億美元軍援，已經向埃及在紐約聯邦儲備銀行的賬戶轉賬6.5億美元。面對美國和歐洲取消對埃援助的威脅，埃及計劃更多依賴來自海灣國家的援助。惠曉霜（新華社供本報特稿）埃及百姓糧食不夠亟待“輸血”埃及持續流血衝突和社會動蕩，令近年來低迷的經濟雪上加霜。總規模2600億美元的埃及經濟，現在需靠外界援助才得以勉強維繫。呼吸困難埃及亂局對經濟的短期衝擊立竿見影。瑞典家電企業伊萊克斯有限公司在埃及停產，將近7000名員工都是埃及當地人。瑞典手機網絡供應商愛立信公司對在埃及的700名員工實施旅行限制。另外，英荷迷你倉庫牌石油公司各辦事處15日至上周末停業。美國通用汽車公司15日關閉位於開羅的辦事處，同時停產。通用汽車在埃及僱用1400名當地員工。德國藥企巴斯夫公司同樣關閉了在埃及的分支機構。作為埃及經濟支柱之一，旅遊業同樣遭遇重創。埃及旅遊業總規模130億美元，自2011年年初埃及局勢陷入動蕩以來萎縮大約50%。美國和歐洲政府警告遊客遠離埃及，一些旅行社取消了前往埃及的所有行程。全身麻痹埃及宏觀經濟更是千瘡百孔。國內生產總值一度連續數年以7%的速度增長，而2011年年初埃及局勢陷入動蕩後，這一數字當年回落至2%，在截至今年3月的9個月間為2.3%。據卡塔爾《海灣時報》提供的數字，埃及臨時政府現階段預算赤字約為每月32億美元，今後18個月面臨330億美元的資金需求。自2011年以來，對埃外國直接投資下降75%。超過4500家工廠關閉，致使數以萬計埃及人失業，而這個國家五分之二人口仍在貧困線徘徊。《海灣時報》評論，當公�吃不飽飯時，無論當政的是獨裁政府還是民主政府，社會都將加劇動蕩。報道說，埃及進口小麥儲備現僅剩不到兩個月的供給。卜曉明（新華社供本報特稿）穆巴拉克指控撤銷或將“出獄”埃及前總統胡斯尼·穆巴拉克的律師19日說，檢方將撤銷針對穆巴拉克涉嫌腐敗的指控，為其擺脫羈押掃清法律障礙。但穆巴拉克面臨另一項指控，恐怕會被繼續羈押。“周末出獄”穆巴拉克的律師法里德·迪卜認定，穆巴拉克眼下遭羈押的唯一法律依據是面臨腐敗罪名指控。迪卜19日告訴路透社記者，埃及檢方將撤銷針對穆巴拉克涉嫌腐敗的指控，“我們只剩下一道簡單的行政步驟，（撤銷指控）不會超過48小時”。按迪卜的說法，穆巴拉克“本周末應該就會出獄”。穆巴拉克2011年2月11日在大規模反政府示威中辭職，現階段面臨兩項指控，包括涉嫌2011年動用武力鎮壓示威者，以及涉嫌收受前新聞部長大約60萬美元的禮物。2012年6月，開羅刑事法院裁定穆巴拉克和前內政部長哈比卜·阿德利牽涉武力鎮壓示威者，判處兩人終身監禁。但今年1月，最高上訴法院接受兩人上訴，認定先前判決中檢方證據不足，宣佈重審這一案件。就穆巴拉克涉嫌收受前新聞部長禮物一案，司法部門尚未審理。繼續羈押？就穆巴拉克能否獲釋，多名埃及官員說法不一。一名不願公開姓名的司法部門官員告訴法新社記者，由於法院尚未就穆巴拉克涉嫌武力鎮壓示威者作出裁決，穆巴拉克仍將遭羈押。穆巴拉克一案重審一拖再拖。首次開庭原定於今年4月，因時任主審法官開庭不久即當庭辭職，庭審推遲至5月11日，再因當天場面混亂休庭。本月17日，一家法院在穆巴拉克沒有出庭的情況下宣佈將庭審推遲至25日。按路透社的說法，穆巴拉克可能再在獄中度過大約兩周，直至法院就這一案件作出終審判決。不過，美聯社援引多名司法部門官員的話報道，埃及法律規定，未獲終審判決的犯罪嫌疑人最久可被羈押兩年。穆巴拉克2011年4月遭羈押，迄今已超過羈押時限，本周有望獲釋。劉一楠（新華社供本報特稿）儲存

If you don't already have a favourite salt cod dish, here's your chance to create a perfect palate-pleaser.迷你倉價錢I'm not going to get into an argument about which country makes the best salt cod dishes. Everyone claims that their mother's version is the best anyway. But since my mother didn't ever cook with salt cod (although haam yu is another story), I'm more open-minded. You can use these recipes as a guideline and adapt them to your own tastes.It's hard to find salt cod in Hong Kong, so buy it on your next visit to Macau.Salt cod mixed with shoestring potatoes and scrambled eggs (pictured)I've eaten many versions of this dish and my favourite is when the fried potatoes are mixed at the very last minute with the cod and eggs, so they stay crunchy.350 grams dried salt cod fillet (use a larger piece if it has bones)3 large potatoes1 medium-sized onion8 eggs60ml milk (optional)Oil, for fryingFine sea salt and freshly ground pepperTo serve:Cherry tomatoes, black olives, fresh parsley sprigsRinse the salt cod under cold running water, to wash away all the salt on the exterior. Put the fish in a bowl and add enough water to cover it by about 2cm. Refrigerate the fish for about eight hours, draining it and adding fresh water as needed, as the excess salt is leeched out. Taste a small piece of the fish - it shouldn't taste salty; if it does, continue to soak it. When the fish is ready, drain off the water. With your fingers, break the fish into ragged scraps and remove and discard the skin and bones. Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer, add the fish and boil for about five minutes, then drain thoroughly.Peel the potatoes and cut them into long, slender matchsticks. Put the potato pieces in a colander and rinse thoroughly under running water, then drain well. Spread the pieces on a clean, dry kitchen cloth and blot up the excess moisture with another cloth, then leave to air-dry for about 30 minutes. Heat oil to a depth of about 2cm in a skillet. When the oil is at 170 degrees Celsius, fry the potatoes in batches until cooked through, then drain them. After cooking all the potatoes, heat the oil to 180 degrees and fry them in batches a second time, to brown and crisp them. Drain them on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt while they're still hot.Whisk the eggs in a bowl and season them with salt and pepper. If you like moist eggs, add the milk. Quarter the onion lengthwise then cut into thin slices. Heat 30ml of oil in a large skillet and set it over a low-medium flame. Cook the onion until soft, then add the cod pieces and a light sprinkling of salt. Increase the heat and cook, stirri迷你倉庫g often, to slightly dry out the cod. Reduce the heat and stir in the eggs. Cook the ingredients, stirring often, until the eggs are softly set (or longer if you prefer eggs scrambled "dry"). Remove from the flame, stir in the fried potatoes and transfer to a platter. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve immediately with olives and halved cherry tomatoes.AccrasI first tasted these salt cod fritters at the home of a Trinidadian friend in New York. I tasted them again more recently when I was wandering through the Bastille street market in Paris. The home-cooked ones were much better because they had a lot more salt cod.Accras usually pack quite a bit of heat, but this version is only moderately spicy. Feel free to increase the amount of fresh chillies and cayenne pepper or chilli powder. They're usually served with a tart, spicy sauce made with incendiary Scotch bonnet chillies, but I cheat and use mayonnaise (Hellmann's please!) mixed with sriracha sauce.250 grams dried salt cod fillet (or use a larger piece if it has bones)2 red bird's-eye chillies, or more to taste80 grams onion, roughly chopped1-2 garlic cloves, chopped2 spring onions, cut into 1cm piecesA small handful of fresh coriander leaves1 tsp cayenne pepper or chilli powder, or more to taste1 tsp fine sea salt, or more to taste1/2 tsp baking soda, sieved through a small strainer70 grams plain (all-purpose) flour1 large egg120ml whole milkOil, for fryingAbout 150 grams mayonnaiseSriracha sauceFresh lime juiceDesalinate, prepare and boil the fish as in the first recipe. Slit the chillies lengthwise and use a small spoon to scrape out the seeds and membrane. Roughly chop the chillies and put them into a food processor with the salt cod, onion, garlic and spring onion. Pulse to chop the ingredients, then add the fresh coriander, cayenne pepper or chilli powder and salt. Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped. Taste a small amount of the mixture and add more salt and spice if needed. Mix in the baking soda and flour, then, with the motor running, add the egg and milk. Transfer the ingredients to a bowl and mix with a spatula.Pour oil to a depth of 2cm in a skillet and heat to 180 degrees. Use two teaspoons to shape the mixture into rough balls, flatten them slightly then slide them into the hot oil. Stir the mixture occasionally and cook it in batches. Cook the balls until medium brown, then turn them over and fry the other side. Drain on paper towels. When they're all cooked, pile them onto a serving plate. Mix the mayonnaise with sriracha sauce and lime juice to taste, then serve with the accras.Styling Nellie Ming Lee儲存

Source: Tampa Tribune, Fla.迷你倉價錢Aug. 19--TAMPA -- HART released details Monday of two options for transportation equipment and service through 2023, the bolder "vision" adding 175 buses, 31 routes and enhancing 50 others, but at a cost of $1.5 billion that is $667 million short of funds the transit company envisions as readily available.A so-called "status-quo" option would focus on preserving current levels of service enhanced by additional non-peak hour service at a 10-year operational and capital improvements cost of about $814 million, $65 million short of known funding sources.Neither plan includes light-rail, a short-run demonstration rail system, or enhancements that could increase ridership on the streetcar HART does not own but operates between downtown Tampa and Ybor City."The Transit Development Plan update does not preclude other modes including rail from being implemented in the future if sufficient transit traffic is built up using buses," Hillsborough Area Regional Transit authority executive director Philip Hale said. "You can do a lot of things with a plan, but you have to pay for them."The state requires HART produce a transit development business plan, known as the TDP. HART's board approved the current plan in 2011 without a rail option in the wake of the failed 2010 sales-tax referendum that would have funded light-rail and other transportation improvements.HART Chief Financial Officer Jeff Seward presented plentiful detail and context Monday to the HART finance, governance and administration committee. The HART board is scheduled to review the plan Sept. 9 before approving it Sept. 23 and then submitting it to the Florida Department of Transportation.HART would not necessarily pursue every option in the "vision" plan."This shows, if you had $200 million, what would you do with it," Seward said.The TDP with its annual outlook up to 10 years does not conflict with longer range plans by the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority or the Hillsborough Metropolitan Planning Organization, both of which include rail concepts.Nor does it conflict with current Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority plans, or that county's 2014 referendum to 迷你倉庫und a light rail line between Clearwater, the Carillon area and St. Petersburg. That concept envisions a subsequent rail connection across the Howard Frankland Bridge and Tampa, but that leg is not covered in the 2014 vote.However, if the Pinellas light-rail initiative passes, it's likely the Hillsborough rail debate would take on a new focus as Pinellas County could gain competitive momentum in economic development opportunities and influence over the location of a new Tampa Bay Rays ballpark."HART doesn't need to run a rail system," said Kevin Thurman, executive director of the Connect Tampa Bay transportation advocacy group. "Some other organization could do that. My worry is that they could leave federal and state matching dollars on the table and put local taxpayers at a significant higher burden than in other areas."The six new MetroRapid routes in HART's "vision" plan beyond the current northeast Tampa-downtown route are: Tampa International Airport and Temple Terrace, which could be completed in September 2016; New Tampa and downtown by September 2018; Tampa International Airport and downtown via Kennedy Boulevard by September 2019; Brandon and downtown by September 2019; Lutz and MacDill Air Force Base via Dale Mabry Highway by September 2021; and the Northwest Transfer Center near Citrus Park and the netp@rk Transfer Center in Temple Terrace by September 2022.The HART committee Monday also reviewed a proposed operating and capital budget for fiscal 2014 of $85.5 million, not including about $896 million recommended in a collective bargaining agreement with bus and van operators and mechanics from Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1593. The board is expected to approve that contract next month that will increase entry level bus drive pay from $11.91 an hour to $12.21.HART loses about 40 percent of its drivers in their first year because it cannot compete with other job offers, said Michael Stephens, director of human resources, risk and legal services.tjackovics@tampatrib.com(813) 259-7817Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Tampa Tribune (Tampa, Fla.)
