Uninsured seek answers at Waterville health care presentation, Augusta program
Source: Morning Sentinel, Waterville, MaineOct.儲存 02--WATERVILLE -- If anybody is in a health insurance bind, Mark and Brenda Lint are.They're an example of what happens when you become injured, lose your job and health insurance and try to muddle your way through to get help."We're in a mess," Brenda Lint, 57, of Winslow, said Tuesday.The Lints attended a health insurance marketplace presentation Tuesday afternoon at Waterville Public Library, where Jake Grindle, a health marketplace navigator from the Western Maine Community Action Program, explained how uninsured people can find and sign up for affordable health care.Mark Lint, 58, his right arm in a sling, sat with his wife and about a dozen other people who sought answers to questions about the Affordable Care Act.Lint said he was told by his employer of 27 years that as of midnight Monday, he was terminated from his job as a gas delivery man.In early August, he had surgery on his shoulder for a torn rotator cuff, which he said was a work injury; but his company denied the claim. The company also said he doesn't quality for short-term disability because he is claiming a work injury.The workers' compensation board is reviewing the case but says it may be a year until he gets a decision, he said. Meanwhile, when he lost his job Monday, he also lost the insurance he had through work."He was terminated because he can't work," Brenda Lint said. "All he wants to do is get better and get back to work."She said she thought it might be less expensive to seek health insurance through the marketplace than by paying for COBRA, a transitional insurance coverage Mark Lint expects to get soon.Brenda Lint is disabled. She has had cancer, a knee replacement and a herniated disk in her back -- and gets Medicare Part A, she said.She learned Tuesday that she will not be able to get any further assistance through the marketplace because the Affordable Care Act does not allow someone receiving Medicare to do that. Instead, she must seek assistance through Medicare.Grindle said one of the most common calls he gets is from people who are on Medicare, asking whether they can sign up for insurance on the marketplace."The answer is definitely no," he said. "It really has nothing to do with Medicare."Brenda Lint said her husband will have to stay on COBRA until he can apply for insurance in the marketplace Jan. 1.The couple's 24-year-old son, who was on Mark's insurance through work, has Crohn's disease, and treatment for that costs $24,000 every eight weeks, they said."We really have to make sure that we have insurance," Brenda Lint said.After listening to Grindle's presentation, she said a lot of her questions were answered."Still, it's quite mind-boggling," she said. "I'm a little more hopeful that if you fill out an application through the marketplace, a lot of questions will be answered."Throughout Maine and self storagehe country Tuesday, thousands of people sought information about how the new federal health care program will work.Emily Brostek, consumer assistance program manager at Consumers for Affordable Health Care in Augusta, said the foundation's help line received at least 55 calls Tuesday, and two people visited the office in person to seek information. For comparison, the help line averaged about 15 calls per day in August.Joseph Ditre, the executive director of the Augusta-based organization, said people might have been frustrated by the delays they encountered on the phone or online, but he wants them to know that open enrollment will continue through March 31."That incredibly high call volume and online traffic really indicate a level of interest that shows that the program was needed," Ditre said.Brostek said the callers were a mix of people who don't have insurance and those who have individual insurance plans but want to see what the options are. Some were well-informed, but at least one person had never had health insurance and needed premiums and co-payments explained to her.Consumers for Affordable Health Care staff helped find answers to questions such as whether health care providers in Florida would accept one of the Maine plans, whether certain medications would be covered, whether callers' incomes would qualify them for tax credits, which of Maine's two plans would be best for the caller and how to help adult children purchase a plan through the marketplace.In Waterville, Grindle showed a slide presentation explaining how one can explore insurance options online and apply for insurance, which is required through the health care act."It is the law," he said. "That hasn't been a clearly-communicated thing throughout the country. It is the law and it's coming into effect right now. Its goal is to provide universal access to coverage."Cheryl Leonard, a navigator for the Kennebec Valley Community Action Program, was on hand and gave another presentation at the library later Tuesday. Both she and Grindle said people can get health insurance -- and help finding insurance that best suits their needs -- by going online to healthcare.gov or enroll207.com or by contacting community action programs or federally qualified health centers such as HealthReach.She and Grindle are ready to help people. Grindle may be reached at jgrindle@wmca.org or 860-4457. Leonard, who covers Kennebec and Somerset counties, may be reached at 859-1567, and callers may make an appointment."It is free," Leonard said. "Those who need help, that's what I'm here for."___(Kennebec Journal Staff Writer Susan McMillan contributed to this report.)___Amy Calder -- 861-9247acalder@centralmaine.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Morning Sentinel (Waterville, Maine) Visit the Morning Sentinel (Waterville, Maine) at .onlinesentinel.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷利倉

OpenRay手記:文書處理軟件的迷思
《iWork》和《QuickOffice》變成免費軟件,儲存用戶多了一個藉口不再使用微軟的Office軟件了。事實上,微軟Office雄霸文書處理軟件10多年,無論對手是收費還是免費軟件,Office軟件仍然屹立不倒。一套簡單的文書處理軟件便撐起微軟成為全球最大軟件公司多年,可見文書處理軟件戰略地位的重要性。早在10多年前,太陽電腦也明白文書處理軟件對商業用戶的重要性,於是重金收購《OpenOffice》,並把它變成免費軟件,希望《OpenOffice》可以有助太陽電腦的Unix平台在商業應用上發展。無奈當時Unix和Linux多數用在伺服器市場,即使有免費的《OpenOffice》可用,對桌面電腦用戶吸引力不大。後來《OpenOffice》推出視窗版本,以免費軟件的姿態直接挑戰微軟視窗。當儲存倉一套微軟Office軟件售數千元,《OpenOffice》卻完全免費。理論上,用戶理應一窩蜂選用《OpenOffice》才對。不過,眾所周知,這事情並沒有發生,人們仍然愛用微軟Office,而《OpenOffice》卻乏人問津。究其原因,是盜版軟件的威力。當年個人用戶甚少會購買數千元一套的文書軟件,卻流行用盜版軟件。用盜版軟件毋須學用新介面,因此即使《OpenOffice》免費,也不及盜版軟件吸引。商業用戶為保持文件的兼容度,怕文件傳給客戶後不能打開,多不介意付費購買正版軟件,因此微軟Office繼續受用戶歡迎。至今《OpenOffice》仍然免費,也漸受歡迎,但當年收購《OpenOffice》的太陽電腦已被收購而結業了。電郵:ray@openrice.com鍾偉民(Ray)?飲食網站創辦人迷你倉最平

Travel becomes passport to a new look
Increasing numbers of Chinese are heading to South Korea for plastic surgery, but this may soon change, as He Na reports.存倉 In the eyes of Sun Shuang’s friends and colleagues, she is an attractive woman with virtually all the attributes needed to live a happy life. The 30-year-old, who uses an alias, lives and works in Quzhou, Zhejiang province, is tall, slim and the mother of a 2-year-old boy. Her husband loves his family. They both have decent jobs with good salaries and own a large, well-decorated apartment and a car bought by their parents when the couple married. Before giving birth, Sun was highly confident and extroverted, but afterwards became a little depressed and didn’t like talking or even going shopping with her friends, an activity she used to enjoy. When she went out, she walked with her head down. Sun did not explain the reason for the change in her behavior to anyone, apart from her husband. It turned out that Sun’s breasts — a little small before she gave birth — became much smaller after she breastfed her son. Her husband said he didn’t mind and loved her more than ever. But Sun said she wanted to undergo breast surgery in South Korea. Afraid that her symptoms may develop into deep depression, her husband gave his approval. With the help of a Shanghai-based website that organizes plastic surgery and sightseeing for Chinese in South Korea, the operation was a success. “The shape and feel of my breasts is pretty much the same as real ones. Even my husband says that I look better and I am more confident than before,” she said. In recent years increasing numbers of Chinese have opted for plastic surgery in South Korea to improve their appearance, significantly stimulating development of the country’s plastic surgery tourism industry, a high-revenue earner each year. Data from the Korea Health Industry Development Institute show the number of customers traveling to the country for medical-care tourism has risen steadily in recent years. The number of short-term customers (less than 15 days) rose to 150,000 in 2012, some 30,000 more than the year before. Customers from China led the way, followed by those from the United States, Japan, Russia and Mongolia. “Medical-care tourism, which combines medical treatment such as plastic surgery and physical checkups with sightseeing, has injected new blood into the two industries, not only creating more jobs that stimulate our economy, but also cultivating more professionals and driving the development of related educational industries,” said Kim Se-mann, executive director of the medical tourism department of the Korea Tourism Organization. Why go to Korea? Kim said about 31,000 Chinese entered South Korea on medical-care tourism visas in 2012, of which 62.9 percent were traveling for plastic surgery. This compares with only 4,700 in 2009. Liu Ming, 28, who w儲存rks for a real estate company in Sanming, a city in Fujian province, underwent a double eyelid operation in South Korea in June. “Although it’s much more expensive than the price I was quoted by large plastic surgery institutes in China, I still thought the money was well spent,” she said. “The surgery was perfect and after two months’ recovery my new, large eyes look natural, pretty and bright, totally changing the impression I had on others before, when friends often joked that even if I opened my eyes to their widest they still thought I was sleepy.” China’s plastic surgery industry has developed quickly in recent years and the country has a considerable number of plastic surgery institutes that customers can choose from. However, many people still prefer to travel to South Korea. Jason Liu, manager of the South Korean department of .6mchina.com, who travels between China and South Korea almost every month, said the reasons for this are proven technology, better service, South Korea’s position in world fashion circles and the fact that it is near China. Liu also said the increasing influence of Korean popular culture, such as the TV series Dae Jang Geum, popular songs like Gangnam Style and a batch of well-known singers, actors and actresses are other factors attracting increasing numbers of Chinese. In some plastic surgery hospitals in Seoul, the South Korean capital, more than 80 percent of the customers are Chinese. Better changes “Negative reports on some failed plastic surgery in recent years also scared away some customers and reduced people’s confidence in the industry in China. People would rather spend more to undergo the surgery in South Korea,” Liu said. “Currently, we have a batch of middle-aged customers who underwent plastic surgery operations several years ago in China who plan to come to South Korea for recovery operations,” he added. “Our website was established in 2009 and our customer numbers have steadily increased during the past four years, with an annual increase of between 70 and 80 percent. “So far, a considerable number of our customers look very pretty to me, but still hope to have small operations to make them look better and become more confident,” he said. “Besides, seeking beauty is not the sole preserve of young people. We have customers of different age groups with different plastic-surgery demands,” Liu added. He said college students, especially those at art schools, will mainly have nose and eye surgery, while white-collar workers opt for facial improvement, such as changing the shape of the face.

“人虎拔河”遭質疑涉事動物園暫停活動
“人虎拔河”遭質疑 涉事動物園暫停活動 長沙生態動物園原打算“十一”黃金周推出“人虎拔河”比賽,迷你倉在媒體和網絡上引發熱議。國慶長假第一天記者在現場看到,“人虎拔河”因外界質疑而暫停,但園中還有其他動物表演。 近日,長沙生態動物園搞了幾場“人虎拔河”比賽。動物園的工作人員將裝有活雞的麻袋拋進老虎活動場地,老虎迅速將麻袋咬住,麻袋上系了繩子,另一頭由遊客拉住。雙方通過這根繩子“拔河”。此事經媒體和網絡傳播後,社會關注度較高。 長沙生態動物園的媒體接待員易經理告訴記者,以往給老虎餵食,都是將生肉切塊扔給老虎吃,容易消磨老虎的野性。動物園向有關動物專家咨詢後,推出“人虎拔河”,可增加老虎進食難度,有利於恢複它們的野性,屬於野化訓練。 對於“人虎拔河”,一些人表示熱切期待,希望國慶期間到場目睹或者與老虎“過過招”。但也有不少網民表示,“人虎拔河”是文件倉物園為了在長假期間吸引遊客的“營銷噱頭”。有輿論質疑,住房城鄉建設部發佈的《全國動物園發展綱要》明確提出“杜絕各類動物表演”,呼籲叫停“人虎拔河”。而湖南師範大學生物學專家鄧學建告訴記者,“人虎拔河”不屬於野化訓練。 在此背景下,原計劃從10月1日至10月7日持續進行的“人虎拔河”,沒有如期出現。長沙生態動物園一位工作人員告訴記者,因為“人虎拔河”被外界質疑為動物表演,所以叫停了。動物園方面媒體接待員易經理表示,這一活動目前只是暫停,暫停原因並非園方認可這是“動物表演”,而只是因為“外界有爭議”。 記者還發現,動物表演在長沙生態動物園還有其他項目。在臨近獅虎館的大象廣場,3名馴象師帶著3頭大象進行表演。遊客購票後,就能進場觀看到大象過平衡木、三腳跑步、“打坐”等表演。此外付一定費用,遊客還可以給大象餵食、與大象合影、騎大象鼻子,一些遊客看得不亦樂乎。存倉

內地國慶黃金周開始 香港商家開門迎客
URL:.chinanews.com.cn/ga/2013/10-01/5343127.shtml 中新社香港10月1日電(記者 趙建華)“歡度國慶節,mini storage喜迎黃金周”,香港《大公報》1日的社評標題或許道出了香港商家和許多香港打工仔的期待。 1日,香港中華總商會、香港中華廠商聯合會等商會、部分華僑社團以及地產、零售、酒店業的商家紛紛在報章刊登大紅廣告祝賀中華人民共和國成立64周年。 同日見報的,還有各商家層出不窮的促銷手段。祝福祖國的同時,許多商家也期待黃金周財源滾滾。香港旅遊、零售、餐飲、酒店住宿等行業早已厲兵秣馬、開門迎客。樂觀者甚至預計,營業額將有雙位數字增長。 攜帶著真金白銀的內地遊客源源不絕。特區政府入境事務處早前預計,10月1日到7日內地國慶假期,約有603萬旅客人次進出香港,比去年同期增加約10.6%。其中,10月1日經陸路的入境人次或達42萬。 一如預期,銅鑼灣、尖沙咀等商業旺地以及黃大仙等熱門景點1日行人如織。這些地方的黃金、珠寶、鐘錶店鋪里,坐滿了選購的顧客。售貨員們跑前跑後,都self storage擴大各自的銷售額。 人財兩旺之時,內地實施《旅遊法》對香港影響的擔憂被暫時棄之一邊。有業界相信,自由行(內地居民港澳個人游)可以填補相應的空缺。 加強規管旅遊業的內地《旅遊法》10月1日開始實施,香港商家尤其是旅遊等業界擔心生意將大受影響。香港旅遊業議會表示,1日約有250個內地旅行團來港,較去年同期減少約三成。其中,50個是購物團、占總數的兩成,跟往年購物團占比高達八成相比,跌幅明顯。整個黃金周期間,有旅遊業者甚至估計,到港的內地購物團將減少一半多。 但香港零售業管理協會對黃金周行情的判斷依然樂觀。該會主席麥瑞瓊表示,雖然難以複制今年“五一”前後的“搶金潮”,但珠寶鐘錶行業仍是黃金周期間增幅最大的行業。如果一切順利的話,零售業甚至可以錄得雙位數增長。 香港零售等行業不斷增長之時,香港特首梁振英1日表示,香港和內地的關係愈來愈密切。產業已大幅超越傳統的製造業和房地產業,遍及漁、農、礦和服務業的各個範疇,為香港建立了最重要的經濟腹地和最龐大的體外經濟,令香港各行各業和各階層的居民直接或間接得益。(完)mini storage

導遊玩失蹤 扔下18名武漢客
本報訊(見習記者劉嘉)昨日下午,迷利倉宜昌三峽人家景區內一名導遊弄丟了遊客門票後竟扔下18名遊客一走了之,讓遊客叫苦不迭。昨日18時28分,武漢網友“煙花雖美卻只一瞬間”發出微博:“坑爹?,開開心心出門遊玩,居然被導遊坑了。導遊把我們一行18人扔在了景區,現在還出不去,誰來救救我們?”微博所在地點為宜昌市三峽人家景區。記者立即與該網友取得聯繫,博主黃小姐告訴記者,他們在三峽工程酒店入住,“早上有人來酒店問需不需要導遊,我們說需要,然後跟著這個導遊走了。上午的旅行沒問題,下午遊覽三峽人家景區,導遊換成了一個不到20歲的女孩”。黃小姐表示,下午的遊玩路線導遊並沒有安排好,從15時30分開始就帶遊客尋找碼頭,“按說我們買的門票可以在碼頭坐船,但是去了3個碼頭,導遊都說不讓坐船,我們下午就在碼頭間打轉。後來大家都有意見,導遊才說是把票弄掉了,我們讓導遊退給我們18人的門票錢,導遊不願意,爭執不下後她竟然自存倉下我們一個人跑了”。黃小姐說,隨後來了一個約30歲的女子稱這群旅客把她的導遊嚇跑了,“把我們要求退門票錢說成是詐騙。我們於是報了警,還向旅遊局投訴了”。記者就此事聯繫了宜昌市夷陵區公安局,該局表示他們昨日下午4時接到了這群遊客的報警,交由宜昌旅遊局處理了。記者隨後致電宜昌假日辦,旅遊執法支隊負責人曾先生表示下午5時接到旅客的投訴,但是遊客沒有辦法提供旅行社、導遊的相關信息,“他們說不出跟的是哪個旅行團,也沒有簽訂相關合同,我們執法也十分困難,所以我們只能要求三峽景區方面把這群自駕遊客安全送到自己的停車處”。昨日21時,記者再次致電黃小姐,她表示景區已派出旅遊大巴將他們送到了自己的停車處,18名旅客全部安全回到宜昌市區,“門票錢還是沒有退”。湖北省旅遊局假日辦負責人李先生提醒市民,外出旅遊不要輕信不正規的旅行社、酒店,拿不准的時候可撥打12301旅遊熱線咨詢,遇到問題可撥打87124701投訴。mini storage
