Singaporeans must discard old industrial thinking and adopt an innovator mindset in the new dynamic landscapeCharlie Ang Hwa LeongCEO, founder & principal trainerFutureCraftIN THE recent National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong outlined the challenging environment that Singapore is operating in.迷你倉 Citing 3D printing, artificial intelligence and robots as examples, he believes that technology may one day replace highly skilled, white-collar professionals. I strongly share PM Lee's sentiments and wish to caution Singapore enterprises and professionals against sticking to the status quo given the growing risk of technological and market disruptions. Instead, Singaporeans must discard old industrial thinking and adopt an innovator mindset to succeed in this new dynamic landscape.In this article, I hope to excite everyone to become innovators and exploit the growing opportunities in three clusters of innovation which I shall elaborate on.Re-invention of everythingAlmost everything that we know and do today is based on industrial thinking. How the economy operates, governments function, corporations grow, societies behave, and individuals think are based on industrial constructs. At present, the global collective mentality is to adapt the industrial way of life to the knowledge model (that is, innovation economy). Unfortunately, this is an incremental and dysfunctional perspective. Instead, we need to invent new constructs of the knowledge model afresh.Let's consider how some constructs may be re-imagined:Business modelThere are only two business models in the industrial economy: 1) value-adding to raw inputs and selling it at a higher price, and 2) developing and/or investing in an asset for rental. Most businesses apply a hybrid model. In the innovation economy, there are at least five business models, all of which support supernormal profits.One such model is the Platform Model, where a "mothership" company co-creates value with its partners through business or technology platforms. UK-based chip design company ARM is the perfect archetype of this model. Its chip design technologies power an astonishing 95 per cent of the world's processors for smartphones and tablets. Yet, it does not manufacture a single chip. Instead, ARM licenses its designs to more than 1,000 partners, including Samsung, AMD and NVIDIA, to manufacture its processors that are custom-fitted to the disparate mobile devices.Education systemThe education system of today is inherently industrial. In its current form for over 100 years, its primary purpose is to load students with content and equip them for their first jobs. Rigid and inefficient, the system does not maximise individual talent nor prepare students to excel in a hyper-speed world.The education systems we need for the innovation economy should have 5C Outcomes (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Curiosity, Cross-cultural Communication and Collaborative Skills) as key goals. Such capabilities are necessary for the 5E (Entrepreneur, Executive, Engineer, Entertainer, Educator) types of knowledge workers to succeed in the very near future. Education should be on-demand, learner-centric, individually designed, self-paced, trans-disciplinary, problem-oriented, and gaming-like.I will leave you to re-imagine other facets of business and life, such as the new factors of production, competitive advantages, and ways that we live, work, and play. These re-imaginations are the inspiration for breakthrough business opportunities and re-inventionmini storageof personal careers.Digital disruption of industriesThe digital disruption of industries occurs when new players apply cutting-edge technologies and business models to "game-change" traditional industries. In the last 15 years, we have seen industries, such as photography, music, news and retail, succumb to the digital conquerors.The worst-case scenario was the extermination of the chemical photography industry. Within a decade, the market shrank by 98 per cent, forcing the venerable 122-year-old Eastman Kodak and Polaroid into bankruptcy. In their wake, Canon, Flickr, Instagram and Pinterest quickly dominated new niches in the digital photography landscape.Next on the digital conquerors' warpath are the education, media, automotive, healthcare, defence and manufacturing sectors. Thankfully, digital disruptions almost always create new e-cosystems and supporting industries. Advertising disruption spun off the digital marketing industry, while retail disruption is supported by a booming sector of e-commerce platforms, fulfilment services and payment gateways. McKinsey Global Institute's report titled Disruptive Technologies: Advances that Will Transform Life, Business predicts that the top 12 disruptive technologies will create economic impact to the scale of US$14 trillion to US$33 trillion per year in 2025. We should all get ready for this bounty.Long tail of everythingWe are now in the midst of a radical market transformation called the Long Tail effect, which former Wired magazine editor-in-chief Chris Andersen elucidated in his 2006 book The Long Tail. Previously, most of the products, entertainment, and information we consumed were developed via a top-down approach to create "hits" (product selections that sell huge volumes). The traditional media (for example, television, cinemas) and physical channels (stores, warehouses) have limited bandwidth or shelf-space and can accommodate only the most popular consumer desires.The digital revolution changed everything. An Internet store such as Amazon and Netflix has no constraint on the number of titles it can digitally stock. YouTube and Pandora have no physical limit on the channels or tracks they can store. The economics of scarcity has been superseded by the economics of abundance.These enabled niche product sellers to satisfy niche consumer demands. These niches, known as Long Tails, were previously un-served as they were uneconomic. The Long Tail of things (powered by 3D printing), education (Massive Open Online Courses), investment (crowdfunding), and skills (e-contracting) are well on their way. Each of them has the potential to create billion dollar markets for entrepreneurs.Only the innovator survivesWith these breathtaking opportunities on offer, I urge fellow Singaporeans to step up innovation in their work, careers and businesses. Collectively, we can transform from a nation of operators to a global epicentre for innovators and scale greater heights. We need to get ready for a world where accelerating change will forever render "business as usual" a thing of the past, and where imaginative and innovative capabilities will be the new competitive advantages.The past is owned by those who know. The present is controlled by those who think. The future belongs to those who can imagine. Can you?The writer is an entrepreneur, speaker, futures thinker, and innovation evangelist.

Customers who download the app can also buy or rent more than 45,000 on-demand movie and TV show titles from Verizon FlexView. More live TV channels will be added in the coming months. -- By the end of third-quarter 2013, more than 40 percent of FiOS Internet customers subscribed to FiOS Quantum, which provides speeds ranging from 50 to 500 megabits per second, up from 35 percent at the end of second-quarter 2013. -- Broadband connections totaled nearly 9.0 million at the end of third-quarter 2013, a 2.6 percent year-over-year increase. Overall, net broadband customers increased 56,000 in the third quarter, as FiOS Internet net customer additions more than offset a decline in subscribers for DSL-based High Speed Internet services. -- Verizon has been replacing high-maintenance portions of its residential copper network with fiber optics to provide enhanced services and to reduce ongoing repair costs. Through the first nine months of 2013, Verizon migrated nearly 250,000 homes to fiber, on track to exceed a target of 300,000 migrations within FiOS markets in 2013. By year-end 2013, Verizon projects it will have less than 1 million remaining customers served by copper in FiOS markets. -- Verizon Enterprise Solutions completed agreements with, and began deploying innovative business technology solutions for, a variety of corporations and organizations around the globe in the quarter, including the American Red Cross, General Electric, Guggenheim Partners, JetBlue, Juniper Networks, Landstar Systems, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., Shangri-La Hotels, Synchronoss Technologies and the U.S. Department of the Interior.NOTE: See the accompanying schedules and .verizon.com/investor for reconciliations to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for non-GAAP financial measures cited in this document.Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wireline communications services to consumer, business, government and wholesale customers.

Source: Standard-Examiner, Ogden, UtahOct.mini storage 25--RIVERDALE -- Cody Hansen has always been interested in Riverdale politics.A lifelong resident, Hansen served on the city's very first youth council back in high school. And he has never been shy about shooting off his mouth over things he thinks the city should or shouldn't be doing. Running for office seemed like the logical next step."In my mind, I figured if I'm going to talk, I ought to put myself out there," he said.Ordinarily, such civic-mindedness would be roundly commended. But not so fast.Cody Hansen, the current Riverdale city council candidate, just happens to be the son of Larry Hansen, the current Riverdale city administrator.Awk-ward.Cody Hansen's candidacy has social media sites abuzz with questions of ethics and the specter of possible nepotism.This week, another Riverdale resident, Stacey Haws, filed a complaint against Larry Hansen with the Utah City Management Association, a professional and educational group for appointed local government administrators.Haws, a former city council member, sent an email to Scott Darrington of the UCMA, stating that Larry Hansen "may be in violation of the ethical standards" of that association. Larry Hansen is a member of the UCMA.Haws believes Riverdale's city administrator has violated "Tenet 7" of the UCMA-adopted Code of Ethics. That tenet states that members shall: "Refrain from all political activities which undermine public confidence in professional administrators. Refrain from participation in the election of the members of the employing legislative body."Larry Hansen made a $500 donation to his son's campaign, and wore a "Cody Hansen for City Council" T-shirt at the city's Old Glory Days celebration this year. Haws contends that by doing this, the city administrator violated the UCMA code.Haws admits no laws have been broken, but he believes it gives the appearance of impropriety."It's not illegal, but just on the face of it, it looks bad," Haws said. "It just doesn't look proper. I wouldn't want to be on a city council where my father was the city administrator."Indeed, Jennifer Morrell, Weber County elections director, said the Hansen situation in Riverdale isn't a violation of any election laws. And just to be certain, she contacted the lieutenant governor's office, which told her the city administrator broke no laws as long as he didn't campaign for his son during hours of employment."As long as they're not supporting a candidate on city time, or with city property -- like city letterhead, or stamps paid for by the city -- it isn't illegal," Morrell said. "They can exercise their First Amendment right, they just have to do it on their own time."Cody Hansen said that even if he were elected, he'd have little to do with his father's position. The city administrator is already under a contract that ends in December 2014."There's little I could do to that," Cody Hansen said. "My father's going to retire. He hasn't made it official, but at the end of his contract, I'd bet anything he won't be renewing it."Larry Hansen seemed to confirm that."I have a contract through the end of calendar year '14," he said. "I'm 66 years old next year. I have no intention to renew my contract."But what if the father didn't retire and opted to extend his contract?"It's something I'd have to abstain from," his son said.Riverdale Mayor Bruce Burrows isn't buying the claims of potential nepotism should Cody Hansen be elected."Frankly, this is a non-story," he said.Burrows believes the accusation has nothing to do with government and everything to do with politics."What I'm saying is that Mr. Haws is a primary supporter of a different candidate than Mr. Hansen," Burrows said. "Take it for what it's worth. But the people of Riverdale will decide if it is nepotism."Burrows said he has worked with Larry Hansen for a number of years, and that he is "one of the best city administrators in the state.""He told me he was going to retire, and that was one of the reasons I decided not to run again," Burrows said.Haws worries a successful Cody Hansen candidacy has the potential to place too much power in one family's hands."There are those who think it's a little untoward to have members of a family try to control this city," Haws said.Haws said if Cody Hansen pulled out of the race -- "And I'm obviously not supporting him" -- that wouldn't be "improper."迷你倉The biggest thing I want out of this, is to let people know that sometimes people who have an impeccable character don't always do the right thing," Haws said. "And in our city, we vote by mail. A lot of people already voted. For those folks, it's too late for this information to have any effect on their vote."The specter of nepotism has never been far from Riverdale politics. When then-mayor Ben Jones recommended Larry Hansen for a position with Riverdale city, the two were brothers-in-law. The current mayor's wife works for the city. City councilman and mayoral candidate Norm Searle has a sister-in-law who works for the city.And get this: "Larry Hansen is my second cousin -- he might be once removed," Haws laughed. "Apparently, blood is not thicker than water."Cody Hansen confirms that relationship."I invited (Haws) to a family reunion once," he said. "It was more just kidding around, really."However, Cody Hansen thinks this illustrates a challenge in small-town politics."In a small city, people are going to be related," he said. "It's a small town, honestly. I don't know what else to say."Cody Hansen said he declared his candidacy almost on a whim, as he just dropped by the city offices one day and decided to run."It was pretty spontaneous," he said. "My dad was there. He was pretty shocked; I'm not sure how happy he was about it. ... But I also know he wouldn't come at me over this. If he were upset, I wouldn't know."Larry Hansen understands the timing of this whole thing is clearly odd, and that his son "surprised" him when he filed for office."He is my son, but he has every right to do what he wants," Larry Hansen said.The elder Hansen also thinks politics are behind the ethics charge."It's a witch hunt, is what it is," he said. "But I'm OK. I'm at the end of my career. I told Cody, 'You've got to be prepared, you've got to have a thick skin. People may be critical, it may get personal. ... But I've weathered tough stuff. This is a ripple."Larry Hansen insists he's not involved in his son's campaign, other than superficially."Yeah, I have a sign in my yard, and I wore a T-shirt at Old Glory Days," he said. And he did contribute $500 to the cause."And I think he took a sign to one guy's yard, somebody I didn't really know," Cody Hansen adds. "But he's not actively campaigning for me."If Cody Hansen loses the election, he's not about to blame it on "Family-gate.""I'm a bit of an underdog; I wouldn't say if I'm not elected it's because of that," he said. "There are four excellent candidates, and the others are well-liked people. These guys are serious candidates. Their victory would have nothing to do with me."As for any perceived problems with nepotism in Riverdale, Mayor Burrows dismisses the question."No," Burrows said. "And I'll tell you why: This stuff surfaces at campaign time only. In my 12 years as mayor, I've never had one person approach me about nepotism in the city. Never. The group that's bringing this up are supporters of the likely underdogs."I don't see this as a conflict of interest or nepotism," he added. "It's just politics."Scott Darrington, city manager of Pleasant Grove and past president of the UCMA, confirmed he received Haws' complaint. He has never seen an ethics complaint in his seven years on the UCMA board, but he says the association will be thorough in its investigation. He expects the UCMA board to meet on the matter sometime next week."We'll follow through, but we've got no timeline," he said. "We want to make sure we do this right."Darrington said action taken could involve private censure, public censure or revocation of UCMA membership."Or, nothing," he added. "We'll look at all of that and then make a decision."Haws said he respects the Hansens, and doesn't want to cause problems or embarrass anyone. But he maintains his belief that a city administrator father and city councilman son is a bad idea."Last night I told my wife I'd done this (sent the ethics charge to UCMA) and was waiting for things to hit the fan," Haws said. "She said, 'Does this mean we're going to have to move?' "Contact reporter Mark Saal at 801-625-4272, msaal@standard.net. Follow him on Twitter at @Saalman.

High-wage job of the future will require high skills, says NYT columnist FriedmanSingaporeTHE global technological revolution has evolved to a point where we live in a "hyperconnected" world that is also increasingly interdependent, according to The New York Times' foreign affairs columnist and author, Thomas Friedman.儲存 This has profound implications for companies and workers, creating new opportunities but also new challenges, even for individuals.Mr Friedman was speaking during a day-long forum yesterday entitled "The Next New World", which he anchored. Held at the Four Seasons Hotel, the forum commemorated the rebranding of the former International Herald Tribune newspaper as the International New York Times.A prolific writer on technology and globalisation in both columns and books, Mr Friedman noted that whereas the invention of the PC in the 1980s allowed individuals to author their own content in digital form for the first time, the spread of the Internet in the 1990s enabled it to be transmitted everywhere virtually for free.Thereafter, the emergence of workflow software such as Google Apps and Microsoft Sharepoint allowed people to work collaboratively online; and search engines made it easy to locate content. In more recent years, applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Skype enabled people to connect with each other and share as never before, at virtually no cost.The emergence and spread of mobile and high-speed broadband wireless dramatically expanded the scope for doing all of this. Other developments such as cloud computing, crowd-sourcing and Big Data (the collection and processing of large data sets) brought about further advancements in knowledge creation, storage and sharing.We are at "a Gutenberg moment", Mr Friedman said, referring to the invention of movable-type mechanical printing in the 15th century, a revolutionary technology at the time which enabled knowledge to be disseminated widely at low cost, and opened the way to mass communication.The technological changes of our time have profound implications for workers, said Mr Friedman. He noted in particular that:"The age of 'average' is over": every company now has easy access to above-average cheap software, above-average cheap labour and above-average cheap products and services. This means those who work for companies "must fi迷你倉d and justify their unique value proposition, and demonstrate why they should be hired or retained.""If what you do now is all you've ever done, you'll be below-average in the new world," he said.High-wage middle-skilled jobs are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. The high-wage jobs of the future will be high-skilled.Workers are like immigrants to the new world. "To succeed, everyone needs to think like an immigrant" - to find and pursue opportunities and to think entrepreneurially.Workers must also act like artisans, bringing unique value to whatever jobs they do.Persistence and curiosity will count for more than intelligence; there will also be a "motivational divide" - those who have the persistence and grit to seize opportunities will benefit, while those who don't will be left behind."The world doesn't care about what you know," he said. "The world cares only about what you can do with what you know."During another session at the forum, Andrew McAfee, principal research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology drew attention to some potential problems arising from the science-fiction-like technological changes of our time. One is that the benefits of technology may not be evenly distributed."As technology races ahead, some people can be left behind," he said.The economic impact of technology can also be mixed. Whereas in the past, output, wages, jobs and productivity grew more or less in tandem, now they are diverging. For example, in some rich countries, wages are going down and not enough jobs are being added, even as output and productivity are growing.But Mr Mcafee pointed to two reasons to be optimistic overall. First, interconnections between people will expand dramatically. "Billions of people will have access to computing power, and to each other," which will significantly add to the brainpower the world can harness.And, second, "we really now have access to artificial intelligence", in the form of, for example, expert systems that can provide medical and legal services, vehicles that can drive themselves and the use of Big Data to diagnose and treat diseases.He noted that the new technologies can also be harnessed for negative and even criminal purposes. "The bad guys will take advantage of them too," he said. "But I have more faith in the good guys than in the bad guys."儲存倉

“女孩因抗議母親不願為其續交課後輔導費而逃課出走，mini storage父母買來iP ad也只是查不會做的題。”在微博上看到這樣的信息後，我和我的小伙伴們都驚呆了！每個時代都有學習用功勤奮刻苦的人，70後8 0後的身邊也不乏這樣的人，但為什麼只有9 0後的學霸走紅網絡，卻令人跌破眼鏡？很多受訪者認為現在的9 0後普遍不愛學習，不是戀愛就是打網游、翹課，能夠堅持每堂課必上的近乎絕跡。“學霸”的存在等於是多數中的少數，甚至有點“另類”的味道。調查90後學霸為什麼這樣紅？生于1977年的張先生告訴記者，“我們讀書時，每個人都很用功，不好好學習就沒有出路。”很多網友表示，其實外國“學霸”很多，這也反映了中外的差異，中國的大學是“難進易出”，所以當有大學出現學習認真的同學，便是稀奇的事。另外一個有趣的現象是：大部分學生對於學霸都是膜拜的，但卻不會完全地去學習學霸這種模式。華東政法大學人文學院輔導員錢嘉熙認為：“學習確實是一種重要的能力，但不是最重要的。大學生最終要走出校園走向社會，社會工作能力非常重要。”華政社會學系專業本科生夏雨青甚至對這種評價學生的模式提出質疑：“大學培養人才的目的本身就不僅僅在於優秀的學習成績，如果只是為了追求成績，大學不就成了高中嗎？太荒誕了。”“我要當學霸2 .0版”已推出下載量突破13萬次雖然學霸不好當，但是其實每個人都希望自己能夠改掉拖延症，增強自制力，尤其是面臨著升學、就業壓力的90後。有這個市場，就有這樣的生產力。2012年5月，A PP“我要當學霸1.0版”問世，由華中科技大學楊元開發，一經推出就紅遍大江南北。2013年9月，“我要當學霸2.0版”推出。軟件經過全新設計，擁有學習監督、我要早睡、我要早起等功能，再次引發新一波熱潮，下載量突破13萬次。可見90後想當學霸的人數還是非常可觀的。該軟件最有意思的是嚴厲監督和殘酷懲罰的功能：如果你在學習的時候玩手機，軟件會有嚴厲的提示，如“不好好學習，一輩子單身！”更恐怖的是在社交網絡上發令人尷尬的狀態，被好友鄙視，如“我在學習的時候玩手機，為了懲罰自己決定請大家吃飯”。學霸，我們做朋友吧！“我覺得學霸就是我的舍友妞妞，她連學化妝都要記筆記。”果果說。據果果介紹，她的舍友妞妞，從大一就確定了考研目標，所以她比同班的任何人都要勤奮，上課總是坐在前排，是她們班公認的學霸。“但是她不會純粹學習，平時她也會參加一下社團的活動，有時候還會一起去逛街去看電影，她勞逸結合得很棒。”果果接著說。而且和學霸同宿舍還有一個好處，“你看著她那self storage勤奮那麼努力，你自己也不好意思太懶，所以大一的時候我成績不好，但是慢慢被她感染後，我上課也認真很多，成績自然也就上來了。”一個宿舍的氛圍對於集體進步真的十分重要，最可以說明這個的就是天津大學鵬翔公寓5齋408宿舍的六女生，她們6人都是學霸，並且2人直博4人保研。可見有一群學霸伙伴，對自己成為學霸有多麼重要的影響。學霸朋友不僅能帶動小伙伴們學習，還能給小伙伴們提供考前重點整理，“這樣即使你整個學期沒有上課或是整個學期沒有任何筆記，都不用擔心掛科。”小胖得意地說。小胖之所以能夠那麼得瑟，在於他有一個學霸好哥們。一般來說，每每到了考期臨近時，大多數同學們才發現“本是複習時，卻如預習般”，這時如果能夠有一個學霸兄弟把整理好的重點呈現在大家面前，“小伙伴們一定熱淚盈眶，請學霸兄弟吃夜宵是必須的。”小胖激動地說。學霸之上，是學神“哪有學霸會承認自己是學霸。”錢同學說，“勤奮學習的人，他們內心有種恐懼，怕自己勤奮卻得不到很好的結果。”學霸是用來膜拜的，更多的90後卻喜歡嘲諷自己為“學渣”或者在被別人封為學霸時自我調侃說自己只是“偽學霸”。那什麼才是學霸呢？提到“學霸”二字，華南師大經管學院的錢同學說：“學霸就是考試複習沒複習好，或者才複習第一章，或者死了這次考砸了，或者死了沒有一題會做，或者我這次考得好差你多少分？然後過兩天就拿獎學金的綜合體。”關於錢同學的這個論斷，來自文學院善於咬文嚼字分析問題的兩個女生反駁說：“學霸從嚴格意義上說只能排在第二位。為什麼呢？因為學霸之上有‘大神’。錢同學所說的那種人正是‘大神’啊！”小林介紹大神：“大神就是那種不用很努力學習，甚至不怎麼上課，期末考試也沒有起早摸黑，懸樑刺股地複習，但他最終就是績點超高，拿獎學金，保研同時一遝offer在手的人。這是學霸所不能比的。”所以在大神之下才有學霸，“學霸”是無時無刻不處於學習狀態之中，對學習有無比的熱請虔誠。因此縱使是學霸，在這個風起雲涌的90後學界也只能是level 2。語錄我男朋友從一個陽光男孩變成學霸，我現在就變成了小三。他每天都跟托福談戀愛，我都要退讓三尺。每天打電話給他，不是在練口語就是背單詞，要不就在複習，每天像偷情似的，真是。——— 小陳學霸對生活也太沒有追求了吧，活得這麼累，我寧願當一個普通人。但無論如何，每個人都有自己的生活方式，學霸也好，學渣也罷，只要自己清楚自己想要什麼，過一個充實的人生就是對自己最負責的。——— 莘莘AⅡ13-14版採寫：南都記者 許琨 實習生 袁凌琛 曾娜玲 邱顯晴迷你倉

德國總理默克爾（左）、英國首相卡梅倫（中）、法國前總統薩科齊在使用手機。本報布魯塞爾10月25日電 （駐歐記者 王鈺深）為期兩天的歐盟峰會24日起在布魯塞爾召開，self storage預設的議題集中在數字經濟上。但在德國總理默克爾手機可能遭美情報機構監聽一事曝光後，歐盟數據安全也成為峰會上各國首腦熱議的話題。斯諾登再爆“猛料”據英國《衛報》、德國《明鏡》周刊等多家歐洲媒體報道，據美國“棱鏡”情報監視項目曝光者愛德華·斯諾登提供的一份備忘錄顯示，美國涉嫌對35個國家和地區領導人的電話進行監聽，其中，歐洲重要盟友默克爾赫然在列。在言辭激烈地向奧巴馬直接討要說法之後，默克爾也把火氣帶到了歐盟峰會上。她告訴記者：“朋友之間的間諜行為是完全不可接受的。”默克爾補充說，如果這一指控被證實，將嚴重傷害雙方的信任。同樣不開心的還有法國總統奧朗德，雖未聽說他的手機被監聽，但是法國《世界報》本周披露，境內約7000萬個電話成為美國國家安全局的目標。奧朗德在峰會前強硬表態，要求把美國監視的問題列入峰會議題。歐盟難得一致對外在峰會間隙，德法首腦舉行一對一會談，除了要求美國停止對其盟友進行間諜活動外，兩人還希望在年底前與美國進行雙邊會談，呼籲奧巴馬總統與其簽署“互不監控協議”。其他歐盟國家此次出人意料地團結。對於德法提出的與美對話並簽署 “互不監控協議”，歐洲理事會主席範龍佩會後表示，歐盟28個成員國在峰會上都表示支持。意大利、比利時、芬蘭、馬耳他等多國領導人均表示，美國必須對間諜指控做迷利倉合理解釋，歐洲也應採取共同立場保護其公民隱私。荷蘭首相呂特表示，歐盟必須採取措施。瑞典首相賴因費爾特稱，竊聽盟國領導人完全不可接受。意大利總理萊塔直言：“我們想知道真相。”範龍佩也表示，歐盟情報機構無法在缺少尊重和信任的時候跟美國合作。歐委會主席巴羅佐警告小心“極權主義”傾向，“東德時期一些民�的日常生活受監視……我們對極權主義意味著什麼記憶猶新，我們清楚動用權力侵入民�生活會發生什麼。”在25日凌晨的記者會上，默克爾面臨一堆關於監聽的提問。她表示，目前沒有明確證據證明手機被監聽，但美國人也沒否認。但她表示不會因此改變通信習慣。歐美FTA談還是不談德國、法國、波蘭等國還希望儘快通過新的歐盟數據保護法規。歐委會去年1月提交相關草案，提出公民可要求網絡公司從互聯網上刪除個人信息，如果網絡巨頭不遵守新規定，可能面臨高達上億歐元的罰款。但是，英國、匈牙利、捷克等國則堅持不宜過快推行。峰會首日議程結束後，範龍佩表示，這項協議不太可能在2015年前達成，“這是一個非常複雜的工作，不僅關係到隱私保護的難題，還涉及到許多企業，所以我們必須仔細斟酌。”《金融時報》認為，這是穀歌、臉譜網等美國科技公司的勝利，他們此前瘋狂游說試圖延緩削弱改革。近日，德國社民黨領導人提議重新審視歐美自貿談判，而歐洲議會議長馬丁·舒爾茨則直接呼籲中止談判以回應美方監視。但默克爾似乎不打算將自貿談判和監聽事件綑綁在一起，她公開表示不同意暫停談判。“一旦走出這個房間，你得知道如何回來。”迷你倉

前不久，自存倉有網友在微博上爆料，稱剛組建不久、投資過億的家具電商牛窩網疑似關門。而根據此前網絡宣傳資料獲悉，牛窩網得到國內大型行業財團的資金支持，總投資三億元，其目標是2年內成為國內家居電商第一平台。該網站成立時間距現在僅僅4個月時間。近年來，無數大規模電子商務網站的出現，及其日進鬥金的銷售額，仿佛給生存環境日趨惡劣的家具行業帶來了一線生機，如全友、紅蘋果、紅星美凱龍等各大家具品牌乃至家居流通大鱷都紛紛勇敢“觸電”。可電商這玩意還真不是什麼行業、什麼人都能玩得轉的。一方面，目前，電商產品主要是以低廉的價格取悅�多網民和消費者，因此，與實體店相比，利用電子商務平台出售家具常常會大打價格戰。事實上，目前，天貓商城、京東商城等電子商務平台的家具銷售情況並不樂觀，部分銷量較好的多是折扣產品。如美樂樂商務網站則是在迷你倉出全場2.8折優惠、包物流、送好禮的廣告後，才贏得了較多顧客。另一方面，相對於大部分日用品，家具存在體積大、運輸易折損、安裝專業性強等特點，使得家具電商的平台商和品牌商很難通過自建物流的方式完成商品的物流配送和安裝售後，而目前的物流公司也沒有專門針對家具商品的物流服務，網購家具往往要經歷十幾道中轉程序，這加劇了家具在運輸過程中磨損、丟失的風險。據業內人士透露，目前號稱在某電商平台上賣得好的幾大品牌，事實上家具的退貨率非常之高。或許，未來電子商務的發展趨勢無可避免，但傳統家具行業要想在電子商務領域贏得市場並非易事，在種種現實瓶頸問題得到妥善解決前，盲目“觸電”，最終迎來的可能是“身亡”結局。在家具行業和電子商務領域的雙重夾縫中，家具廠商要想生存下去必須付出巨大的努力，既要緊跟時代，又不可操之過急。□ 羅磊mini storage
