【廣編特輯】 連續四天清明假期，迷你倉沿著國門置產軸線，賞屋人潮絡繹不絕， 雖然桃園地區青埔房市話題不斷延燒，每坪開出30萬至40萬元行情仍有投資客搶破頭，不過不少眼光精準的置產客已經把目標轉回林口「U型反彈」，搶搭補漲列車． 林口這幾年大型公共建設不少，在政府與民間合力加持下，包括日商三井不動產得標的中商三十六案…等十大建設，已成為購屋客的尋寶地．顯示民眾對未來是樂觀的，加上低利率時代和貨幣貶值、通膨壓力，資產配置將持續轉移到房地產，房市後續看好． 過去十年將資產配置在房地產的族群都是贏家，加上近期中國政府打房，連帶影響不少台商選擇回來買房置產，因此在這一波四天連假中，林口也發現不少台商置產客，除了置產保值之外，更認同此區的交通建設與生活機能。 日商打造國門商城 一站式消費可望瘋狂吸金 近期林口釋放的利多中，以中商36最為引人注目。號稱全台規模最大的Outlet商場「林口中商三六公有土地招商案」，整體計畫面積達6.7公頃。目前全案已確定由日本三井不動產株式會社得標，三井不動產為日本首屈一指之綜合不動產開發集團，依契約中商36將於6年內興建完成，由日本這麼強的經營團隊管理，可望打破台北市商圈集中精華地段發展模式，將國際觀光消費商圈軸線，直接拉道國門機場周邊，為林口帶來強大的觀光契機。 ＴＶＢＳ 民視媒體總部進駐 華人影視王國 TVBS、民視電視台搶進獵地，打造影視王國。身家逾890億台幣的台灣女首富宏達電董事長王雪紅，也選擇到林口打造影視王國。王雪紅入主TVBS後動作頻頻，去年底更大動作宣布投入50億進駐林口打造「TVBS媒體園區」，民視媒體數位總部亦於將104年10月完工開放，重量級電視台傾力打造華人影視城，不僅賺連續劇帶動的相關文創商機，再結合便利交通、國際商圈，帶動林口成為國門第一站的華人重點觀光文創城市。 小標：台商回流 主攻林口 清明連假強銷 價格具備競爭力及優質居住環境，不少置產客開始將目光移向林口，據儲存倉解，清明連假期間林口房市銷售狀況佳，地標型產品尤其熱賣。指標個案「國家一號院」案場表示，清明連假雖天候狀況不佳，案場四天內仍湧入150組來人，現場接待業務員應接不暇，讓他們大感意外，其中有不少是回來掃墓的台商，占了成交比的3分之1。專案經理表示，這些在台北市、中國都有置產經驗的客人，十分認同該案大基地、大街廓、公園第一排的稀有性，加上看好林口補漲力道，購買動機充足，因此造成這波台商回流潮。 林口新城市 十二大移居魅力 林口早期找來聯合國都市計畫小組，以英國的花園城市為通盤規劃目標，因此區內綠覆率高，設計上也特別有巧思，以住宅區為例，透過規畫讓車子不會穿越住宅，加上年平均氣溫21度的溫和天氣，宛如加拿大城市溫哥華、多倫多，生活氣氛相當好，對打算退休的樂退族特別具有吸引力。 龍頭建商興富發董事長鄭欽天表示：「林口地理位置、交通方便，未來有捷運，緊鄰機場，又是桃竹苗往台北市的門戶，房價有很大的上漲空間。」看好林口未來性，興富發不惜重資，在林口打造指標建案「國家1號院」，主訴求豪宅享受，平價入主。 龍頭建商 推指標個案 「國家1號院」具備雙重豪宅優勢，每坪單價約30萬元，享豪宅「帝寶」等級的崗石外觀，及「勤美璞真」公園第一排千坪基地的雙重優勢，成為林口豪宅代表。其中，正對公園第一排的優勢條件，特別受到重視生活環境的購屋族群青睞。 興富發建設為打造林口第一豪宅，建設公司也不惜重資，禮聘兩大國際級營造商—「華大成」（日本大成建設株式會社國際支店）、「大林組」，以嚴謹挑剔，精準細膩的施工品質，共同打造林口地標建築。 專家說法 甲山林專案經理 蘇同福 補漲力道更勝新板 最近來看林口案子的客戶，對林口補漲相當有感，目前林口房地產市場的價格跟其他同樣屬於重劃區的新莊副都心、新板特區相比平實許多，且林口有建設題材，像是即將通車的機場捷運線…等，加上生活條件等發展已經到位，這幾年又沒有明顯漲幅，未來補漲力最被看好，是吸引這波購屋客湧入的主因。迷你倉價錢

隨著我國電子商務的迅猛發展，迷你倉網絡商品交易已經成為社會重要的商品交易形式之一，在廣大消費者日常生活中的重要地位也日益顯現。針對網上虛假宣傳、侵犯知識產權、銷售假冒偽劣商品等違法行為時有發生的情況，國家工商總局也在前不久公佈了九類典型網絡商品交易違法行為，提醒廣大市民注意維護自身合法權益。昨日，市工商局召開網絡交易秩序專項整治工作部署會，�動“網絡交易秩序專項整治行動”，從9月6日至11月15日，全市將開展網絡交易秩序專項整治，進一步加強網絡商品交易及有關服務行為監管工作，集中解決網絡交易發展和監管過程中遇到的非法主體網站及侵犯知識產權和制售假冒偽劣商品等熱點問題，促進網絡商品交易健康發展。2家涉嫌侵犯公司名稱網站被舉報一個後綴名為“.com”，一個後綴名為“.net”，兩家聖弗萊戶外用品的網站，究竟誰是李逵誰是李鬼？前日下午，金牛工商局接到權利人舉報，稱聖弗萊戶外品牌有涉嫌仿冒公司名稱的另一家同名經營性質網站出現。無獨有偶，一家駱駝戶外品牌的“官網”也被舉報，指其涉嫌侵犯同名公司名稱，因為該品牌戶外用品公司官網根本還未建立。作為“本尊”，聖弗萊（福建）戶外用品有限公司和駱駝（福建）戶外用品有限公司對出現的疑似仿冒“官網”很是頭痛。昨日上午，金牛工商局相關負責人趕往舉報地址上的金牛區營通路181號的小區進行取證調查，已然人去樓空。“像這樣的網站侵權與一般的實體店侵權相比，取證難度更大，要抓現行非常不容易。”金牛工商局公平交易執法分局執法二科的工作人員楊凡已不是頭一次面對這樣棘手的問題，他表示，根據《商標法》，盈利金額在5萬元以下涉嫌侵犯公司名稱的網站，在關閉其侵權網站的同時還將對責任人處以行政處罰；非法營利金額在5萬元以上的，就將追究刑事責任，“我們將通過各種手段繼續加大網絡監管力度，與舉報人一同尋找侵權網站的‘落腳點’，必要時還將移交至市公安局網監處進行IP地址追查，及時對不法分子予以嚴厲打擊。”據市工商局信網處負責人介紹，此次專項整治工作是市工商局深入推進群�路線教育實踐活動的一項具體內容，也是工商網絡交易監管指導思想從“服務發展”向“嚴管與支持並重”轉變的一項重要舉措。以往工商部門對網絡交易監管以服務發展為重心，發現問題後通常採用說服教育、責令改正的處置方式，較少進行處罰。但隨著網儲存倉商品交易的迅速發展，不法分子利用網絡進行市場違法行為和銷售假冒偽劣的情況也日益增多，對廣大群�消費權益和人身財產安全造成了損害。新形勢下，工商部門將在對合法經營企業搞好服務的同時，重點對網絡上的違法經營行為嚴格監管、依法打擊，為守法經營者和廣大消費者營造健康有序的網絡市場環境。50余家涉嫌偽造、盜用公司名稱網站被梳理據瞭解，此次專項整治工作的重點包括偽造或冒用公司名稱、嚴重侵犯消費者和經營者合法權益的網絡交易非法主體網站；制售假冒偽劣農資的網上農資批發零售市場、交易市場和集散地；通過互聯網等渠道銷售侵權假冒商標的嬰幼兒護膚用品及互聯網“傍名牌”等違法行為。市工商局將通過專項行動，查處一批違法行為，關閉一批從事各種嚴重侵害消費者和經營者合法權益、社會危害程度較深的網絡商品交易非法主體網站，集中查辦一批侵犯知識產權和制售假冒偽劣商品的案件，有效遏制網絡商品交易非法主體網站充斥互聯網絡的蔓延趨勢，打擊互聯網侵犯知識產權和制售假冒偽劣商品行為，保持網絡交易秩序整頓的高壓態勢。市工商局相關負責人表示，偽造、冒用公司名稱進行網絡交易介於刑事詐騙和消費欺詐之間，將會對消費者的合法權益構成嚴重侵害。建議消費者在網購時，採取網絡截圖等多種方法妥善保存相關消費憑證，若遇到網絡交易違法行為，儘快撥打12315工商維權電話予以舉報。目前，市工商局通過前期信息化專業搜索方式已梳理出我市50余家涉嫌偽造、盜用公司名稱和網站，其中不乏老兵搬家、徽記食品、雙流國際機場園林環保、華西工程等市民耳熟能詳的公司名稱。接下來，相關工作人員將對這批網站進行進一步調查核實。本報記者 陳瑾 攝影 馬丁新聞鏈接>>>國家工商總局公佈的九類典型網絡商品交易違法行為一、銷售侵犯註冊商標專用權商品二、違反企業登記管理相關規定，偽造或冒用公司名稱三、使用與知名商品近似的名稱、包裝、裝潢，造成與他人的知名商品相混淆，誤導消費四、利用網頁發佈與真實情況不符的企業或商品信息，進行虛假宣傳五、惡意詆毀，損害競爭對手的商業信譽、商品聲譽六、銷售假冒偽劣商品，損害其他經營者或消費者利益七、未經許可，從事法律法規規定須取得營業執照方可從事的經營活動八、違反相關規定，擅自泄露或出賣消費者個人信息九、利用格式合同做出對消費者不公平、不合理的規定，侵害消費者權益迷你倉價錢

濮存昕與本報記者（右）合影，文件倉題寫留言。本報首席記者 裴強 攝 濮存昕留言。本報訊（記者趙匯）“在座的有艾滋病感染者嗎？請舉手！”在台下聽�的面面相覷中，中國疾控中心防艾中心主任吳尊友話鋒一轉“這就是艾滋病的‘隱匿性’，更需要大家對它多一層的瞭解，進而不再恐懼”。9月6日，我省380名地方領導幹部齊聚省委黨校，集體上了一堂艾滋病流行形勢和防治策略的“課程”。課堂上，為學員發放的每個材料袋中除去兩冊宣傳讀本、一冊《“十二五”防艾防治規劃》外，還有兩盒“安全套”。國家衛計委首位預防艾滋病宣傳員、著名表演藝術家濮存昕，廣西柳州市鹿寨縣縣長劉勝友也從各自實際出發先後與學員一同分享自己的“防艾”心得。這樣深層次、大規模的宣講活動在我省艾滋病防治工作歷史上尚屬首次。“防艾課”在省委黨校舉行“領導幹部要發揮個人影響，做好艾滋病宣傳教育工作的表率，營造有利於艾滋病預防控制的良好社會氛圍。”9月6日，吳尊友圍繞黨政領導幹部需要知道的艾滋病防治“十個為什麼”，對來自我省的380名地廳級領導幹部及中青年、婦女幹部等上了“特殊一課”。當日，國家艾滋病防治政策團在省委黨校進行了防艾講座。講座中，吳尊友向在座學員講授了艾滋病基本知識、流行現狀、危害，以及我國艾滋病防治工作的現狀與進展等。“從總體上看，當前我國艾滋病疫情仍呈現低流行態勢，但近年來艾滋病的流行呈快速上升趨勢，局部地區疫情相當嚴重，已影響了當地經濟社會的發展，而且逐步從高危人群向一般人群擴散。現在正是抓緊宣傳，採取措施的關鍵時期。”吳尊友介紹說。領導幹部是防艾關鍵因素吳尊友表示，黨政領導幹部既是防治艾滋病政策的制定者也是執行者。對各級領導幹部普及防治艾滋病相關政策，是目前防艾工作的重中之重。“艾滋病防治不僅是一個公共衛生問題，更是一個經濟問題、社會問題。防艾工作需要多部門合作的領域，既需要有權威性、號召力和強制力的國家機器，也需要各部門領導幹部密切合作，有一個制度化的協調機制。只有黨政幹部瞭解相關政策法規，對艾滋病防治工作有科學務實的態度，才能自覺重視防艾工作，積極履行本部門的義務。”吳尊友如是說。聆聽了國務院防治艾滋病宣講團兩個多小時的報告後，在場的聽�對艾滋病的傳播和防治有了新的認識。台下的學員不時認真做起筆記，更是頻頻舉起相機拍攝國家防艾工作的經驗做法。我國首位“防艾宣傳員”濮存昕呼籲——消除歧視 尊重關愛艾滋感染者“我們都有一顆悲憫良善的心，不要拿著道德的大棒揮向艾滋病感染者。用我們的愛溫暖他們，讓他們也成為防治艾滋病的合作者，讓‘感染到我為止’！”9月6日，省委黨校的學術報告廳內不時傳出陣陣掌聲，著名演員濮存昕與甘肅380名領導幹部一同分享著自己的“防艾之路”。講座結束後，他欣然提筆寫下“預防艾滋病，你我同參與”與本報讀者共勉。以實際行動當好防艾宣傳員 濮存昕回憶了當年出任預防艾滋病宣傳員的情景。當時，他正在外地，接到了衛生部請他擔任“防艾宣傳員”的邀請，讓自己的名字和“艾滋病”聯繫在一起，無疑是個艱難的決定。當他清楚預防艾滋病宣傳意味著一種責任，一種使命，他只用了幾分鐘就作出了義無反顧的決定。他說：“從當上預防艾滋病宣傳員的那刻起，我感覺到肩上多了一份責任。”“我永遠不會得艾滋病！”濮存昕告訴大家，“因為我懂得如何預防艾滋病。這些年我和艾滋病感染者、患者一起包餃子，一起吃飯，現存倉不是很好地站在這裡嗎？”“在‘性遭遇’面前，我們要建立起防艾知識的屏障，才能繞開這個陷阱。”宣傳員濮存昕的一席話贏得台下聽�頻頻點頭。“既然衛生部讓我帶頭宣傳，我就打算把這件事給做長了，做實了……”身為預防艾滋病宣傳員的濮存昕如是說。多年來，他以自己的實際行動，實踐著自己的心聲。呼籲公�尊重HIV攜帶者濮存昕在交流中說，防艾宣傳要從加強預防知識宣傳、及時有效治療和社會反歧視推廣三方面入手。盡管防艾宣傳已經開展了幾年，但社會歧視問題並沒有從根本上好轉。他說，“不要站在道德高地歧視艾滋病患者，更不要給他們俯視的關愛”。他呼籲公�消除對艾滋病病毒攜帶者的歧視態度，“他們也和我們一樣，有各種權利，我們應該把他們看成防治艾滋病的合作伙伴。”濮存昕說，如果艾滋病病毒攜帶者都有一種“到我為止”的態度，不再去感染別人，那麼艾滋病防治就取得了很大的成功，想要達到這樣的效果，就需要社會多一些對艾滋病病毒攜帶者的尊重和關愛。防艾教育工作要從孩子抓起“艾滋病預防教育工作要從孩子抓起。”濮存昕說，現在不少中學沒有設置性教育課程，將艾滋病視同洪水猛獸；其實也許只不過需要一個上午的課程，只要教師稍做指導，就可以使孩子們獲得預防艾滋病的知識。濮存昕還建議，在大中城市繁華路段設置預防艾滋病公益廣告。他認為，目前醫治艾滋病的廣告仍被列入治療性病類廣告，禁止公開亮相，加深了人們對艾滋病患者的歧視。希望大家一起努力，讓新發艾滋病感染降到最低。 本報記者 趙匯人物簡介濮存昕：中國知名度很高的一位公�人物。他的職業是演員，主演過多部話劇、電影和電視劇，同時，他是北京人民藝術劇院副院長，還是全國政協委員。2000年12月1日世界艾滋病日，濮存昕接受國家衛生部聘請拍攝預防艾滋病的公益廣告，並成為我國第一位“預防艾滋病宣傳員”。此後，他在美國獲得了由海外華人組織的慈善組織——美國愛心基金會頒發的傑出成就獎。相關新聞我省上半年HIV感染者及病人237例本報訊（記者趙匯）根據國家艾滋病綜合防治信息系統統計，今年1—6月，全省共報告艾滋病病毒感染者/艾滋病病人共計237例（男性206例，女性31例），其中HIV感染者193例，艾滋病病人44例，分佈于66個縣區。目前，全省86個縣市區僅有肅北、阿克塞、瑪曲、碌曲、舟曲、迭部等6個縣沒有報告發現艾滋病病毒感染者和艾滋病病人。據省疾病預防控制中心性病艾滋病防治專家分析，甘肅省艾滋病疫情呈以下特點：全省艾滋病總體呈低流行態勢，地區間差異較大；艾滋病病毒感染者和艾滋病病人數量持續增加，但增幅趨緩；性途徑傳播已經成為主要傳播途徑，男性同性性傳播上升速度明顯，配偶間傳播增加；疫情分佈廣，傳播範圍會不斷擴大，而且相當數量的艾滋病病毒感染者和艾滋病病人還未被發現，已發現的艾滋病病毒感染者已陸續開始發病，死亡病例明顯增加；感染人群多樣化，艾滋病已開始從高危人群向一般人群擴散。統計分析顯示，我省發現報告的艾滋病病毒感染者/艾滋病病人數量呈持續增加態勢。截至2013年6月底，全省累計報告艾滋病病毒感染者和艾滋病病人1665例，累計報告死亡320例。同時報告的艾滋病病毒感染者/艾滋病病人數量居前的市州為蘭州市、天水市、武威市和臨夏州，共報告122例，占到了全省的63.2%。值得注意的是，武威市已經和臨夏州的報告數持平，說明疫情從重點地區向一般地區擴展。迷你倉

Source: Tulsa World, Okla.自存倉Sept. 06--The city of Tulsa will not be receiving a $14.8 million federal TIGER grant it applied for earlier this year to help fund proposed improvements to Riverside Drive, city officials learned Thursday.The city hoped to use the grant to help pay for $40.1 million in improvements along Riverside Drive from 24th Street to 33rd Place in conjunction with A Gathering Place for Tulsa, which envisions a large park on the east side of Riverside Drive and significant changes to River Parks on the west side. The area will be linked by two land bridges.Thursday's announcement does not mean that road work will not happen.Funding for the work has been included in the city's proposed $918.7 million capital improvements package set to go to voters Nov. 12."It would have been great to get the funding," said Paul Zachary, director of the city's Engineering Services Department."That was $14.8 million out of the $19 million that is in the sales-tax package that could have been freed up for other projects or just not spent."But as far as our (capital improvement) funding package, we are not going to have to scramble."The proposed work along Riverside Drive includes widening the lanes and adding a tree-lined median.The project would also remove the dip and straighten the curve along Riverside Drive near the pedestrian bridge north of 31st Street.Plans also call for raising the bridge at Crow Creek enough to allow for the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle underpass.TIGER -- or Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery -- grants are awarded annually for transportation projects nationwide.James Wagner, transportation projects coordinator for the Indian Nations Council of Governments, s迷你倉新蒲崗id the grant process was highly competitive."This year 568 applications were submitted, and only 52 projects were funded," he said."There were more than $9 billion in requests for funding and only $474 million available. It appeared that a majority of the funding went to public transportation projects, freight rail and port projects."Among the projects selected for funding was Oklahoma City's Intermodal Transportation Hub, which received $13.6 million.As part of the 2008 Fix Our Streets package, Tulsans approved $4.7 million in improvements along Riverside Drive between 31st and 41st streets and another $2.8 million to upgrade the Crow Creek bridge.Those improvements have been put on hold as city officials work with the Kaiser Foundation -- which is paying most of the cost to construct the park -- to coordinate the city's infrastructure needs with those of the park.The city's TIGER grant application stated that other funding for the project will come from the following sources: $4.2 million in 2008 Fix Our Streets sales-tax revenue; $1.1 million from the Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority; and $20 million from the Kaiser Foundation.Zachary has said previously that the $4.2 million in 2008 Fix Our Streets funding and the $14.8 million TIGER grant would cover the city's $19 million roadwork portion of the project.Now the grant funding will not be an option. But as City Councilor G.T. Bynum noted Thursday, when preparing the capital improvements package, "We budgeted for the worst-case scenario, thankfully."Kevin Canfield 918-581-8313kevin.canfield@tulsaworld.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)

Source: San Antonio Express-NewsSept.迷你倉 07--The StarTech Foundation, launched with fanfare in 2000 as an institution to lead San Antonio into the technology investment race, closed its doors in mid-May without a public statement, the University of Texas at San Antonio confirmed Friday.StarTech, originally called the San Antonio Technology Accelerator Initiative, or SATAI, had maintained its office at the UTSA downtown campus' Institute for Economic Development."We were told they have closed for business permanently," said Amy Dalrymple, IED's communications coordinator. UTSA also has shut down StarTech's Internet site.Calls seeking comment from Jim Poage, who had been StarTech president and CEO, and board chairman Brad Hunt were not returned Friday.The San Antonio Business Journal first reported the news online."It's probably a good thing they shut it down," said Ramiro Cavazos, president and CEO of the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He was the city's economic development director in 2000 when SATAI started."I'm disappointed it has shut down," Cavazos said. "But I didn't see them as being relevant any more in the city's economic development landscape. It lost its connection to the original purpose and evaporated into the background. It no longer had a strong public-private partnership. That's the way we started out."An early sign that StarTech was winding down its mission of finding financing for startup technology companies came in December when StarTech said it would stop processing applications for investments from the state's Emerging Technology Fund on Jan. 1. The move ended a contract with the state that had provided funding for StarTech since 2007.In December, Poage said the Emerging Technology Fund was shifting its priorities from making investments in new technology companies to helping Texas universities attract "star" researchers and helping form consortiums of companies that would work on common projects.Later, the chairwoman of the Emerging Technology Fund's advisory committee denied that a policy shift had occurred. Terry Chase Hazell said Poage's claim was possibly misleading for other organizations that could take StarTech's place to screen applications for state investments.Poage said StarTech would continue to work with more than 20 other funding sources for startups coming to StarTech for help. Regional offices that screen applications for Emerging Technology Fund investments receive annual base payments of $150,000, with hi儲存倉her amounts based on the success of the companies obtaining investments.StarTech had received $245,000 in 2010 and in 2011, Poage said in December.Before operating with a state contract, SATAI/StarTech had been funded primarily with city grants for several years until the city's funding agreement expired.The Texas Research & Technology Foundation in San Antonio has applied to the state to replace StarTech as a regional center screening applications for state investments. TRTF's application remains pending in Gov. Rick Perry's office, which operates the Emerging Technology Fund, said David Clark, director of investment services for the TRTF's The Texas Technology Development Center program, known as T3DC.Clark said inventors in the life sciences, information technology and energy fields who seek assistance finding investments can go to TRTF for assistance instead of StarTech. UTSA's Small Business Development Center downtown also can help with access to capital and writing business plans, said UTSA's Dalrymple.Clark had worked at StarTech since 2006 before moving to T3DC in June. Clark said Poage met with the StarTech board several times in the winter and spring before the decision was made to close the organization. He said he did not know the reason because he did not attend the board meetings.In January, StarTech said it had reviewed more than 1,000 Emerging Technology Fund applications and recommended 36 to the state for investments. Nearly 20 of those obtained investments totaling more than $30 million.In all, StarTech said it had raised more than $260 million in financing for startup companies from sources ranging from the state and federal grants to other organizations such as the South Texas Angel Network and Microsoft BizSpark.Cavazos said StarTech's role of bringing entrepreneurs and investors together had largely been supplanted over the past five or six years by TRTF and Geekdom, a downtown office housing technology startup firms.SATAI started as a recommendation in a San Antonio economic development strategy developed in 2000 by a team of consultants led by Jim Gollub from California's Information Design Associates and ICF Consultants."It had served its purpose," Cavazos said of StarTech/SATAI. "But everyone had moved on to other organizations" for assistance.dhendricks@express-news.netCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the San Antonio Express-News Visit the San Antonio Express-News at .mysanantonio.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉價錢

For the past few days we have been enjoying cool breezes, blue sky, and clearly defined floating clouds — as if there is not a speck of dirt in the blue firmament above this dirty metropolis.文件倉Such bliss naturally inclines us to settle into a more charitable frame of mind. For weeks a cricket lurking somewhere among the flowerpots on the balcony of my home has been trilling vigorously at night.To the uninitiated it is a bit monotonous, with little variation, but it has an uncanny soothing effect on me.As John Keats (1795-1821) wrote in “On the Grasshopper and the Cricket,” “The poetry of earth is ceasing never.”We easily forget that we have just survived one of the hottest summers in memory. By August 29 Shanghai had logged 47 hot days (with daily high exceeding 35 degrees), the second most since meteorological record keeping started 140 years ago.Specialists have been arguing about the cause of this unusual heat, and they can argue well into the next winter.Self regulatingA couple of days ago one of my colleagues asked: Do you think there is any link between the historical heat and the abrupt coolness?I could only plead ignorance about the Holy Plan.Although ancient Chinese sage Lao Tzu once remarked that ìHeaven and Earth are ruthless; To them the Ten Thousand Things are but as straw dogs,î when we think of it, few of us survivors of the heat can help being grateful for the fact that the earth had not abandoned us.As we busily fill our leisure time with all kinds of human-made trinkets and toys, we become blind to, or disdainful of, the fair works of nature.Should we venture outside the human-spun cocoon and experience the thrill of pleasures in the sunset, the billows of clouds, or the voice of the insects, we would have ample reasons to lament what man has made of man, or nature.As the title of the book suggests, Toby Tyrrellís ìOn Gaia: A Critical Investigation of the Relationship Between Life and Earthî is a reassessment of James Lovelock ìGaia Hypothesis,î where Gaia (Gaea) is the Greek goddess of the earth.In this hypothesis that is still being modified, Lovelock believes that the entire mass of living and nonliving matter on earth functions together in a complex, interdependent system that can be viewed holistically as a ìliving entity.îIt seems that unconsciously and automatically, life on earth has been conspiring in regulating the global environment in a way that makes life possible.In this book Tyrrell tries to bring the hypothesis ìface to face with modern evidence and undertake a skeptical but hopefully fair-minded evaluation.îAfter citing cases suggesting nature as a mixture of cruelty and kindness, Tyrrell concludes that the ìreal world in its natural state can be a savage place.îHere the author himself remembers that as a teenager he had once seen some dogs catching and eating an iguana in the foothills of the Andes.Good citizenshipWhile that experience could be traumatic for any teenager, I do not think this ìcrueltyî in any way contradicts the Gaian view.The Gaian view of ìcomfortî must be conceived holistically for, seen individually, the life of any individual cannot escape the cycle of pains of birth, ageing, diseases, and death, as the Chinese saying goes.If anything, this ìcrueltyî ó diseases, predation, death ó is exactly part of the plan of Gaia.In another case, Lovelock believes that ìthe stren存倉ous and seemingly perverse efforts of salmon and eels to penetrate inland to places distant from the sea would then be seen to have their proper function [to supply freshwater ecosystems and the land surface with scarce phosphorous].îTyrrell observes that ìwhile one can only stand in awe of the breadth of Lovelockís vision, everything we know about the mechanics of natural selection leads us to the judgment that salmon do not travel inland to spawn for reason of good citizenship, in order to help the planetary biota as a whole.îI think that instead of ascribing this fishy behavior to any volition or purpose, the important thing is that however eerie or idiosyncratic they appear to be, such behaviors do contribute to the stability of an ecological system.If ìgood citizenshipî can apply at all, it could be used for every other species except industrialized man, for all the other species live carefully within their assigned niche.The Gaian insight should allow us to have an intimate view of the homo sapiens, rather than any other species.Obviously, increasing human knowledge about the environs in no way turns humans into good citizens.Chuang Tzu once said that ìyour life has a limit but knowledge has none. If you use what is limited to pursue what has no limit, you will be in danger.îThe danger today lies chiefly in our inability to prevent our limited knowledge from being abused at the expense of our environment, or ourselves.Destructive intelligenceArmed with that knowledge, we are laying waste to a sizable portion of tropical forests everyday, and with the depletion of cheap oil, we are marching to the polar regions.When knowledge is not tempered by faith, or awareness of our obligation as stewards of the earth, it can be worse than useless.Our geologists and mechanical engineers have conspired to usher in the age of private car ownership, fueling growth and the release of carbons that had been locked by plants and then buried underground for millions of years in the form of fossil fuels.Apparently we do not need any encouragement in our excesses.ìIs there any worry that we will so damage the planet as to imperil our own survival through oxygen depletion? A frequently raised concern is that by cutting down rain forests such as the Amazon (ìthe lungs of the planetî) will we asphyxiate ourselves? Fortunately the reality is much less alarming,î reassures Tyrrell.His logic goes like this: Even if all plant life dies off, simple calculation shows that it would still take at least 4,400 years to remove all the oxygen, or at least 440 years to remove even one-tenth of the current amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.GDP fanatics can easily conclude that human beings can continue their fun without causing much harm to nature.This view is in clear contrast to Lovelockís view that our earth is becoming sicker due to global warming (ìThe Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth Is Fighting Back ó and How We Can Still Save Humanityî).ìIf we fail to take care of the Earth, it surely will take care of itself by making us no longer welcome,î Lovelock warns.In an interview with the Guardian in 2010, Lovelock concluded that humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting our lives over the coming decades.The beauty of Gaian view is that it allows us a view that nature moves in a mysterious way, and this can inspire awe and humility, rather than excite hubris about our intelligence.迷你倉

Source: The Montana Standard, ButteSept.迷你倉 06--By the end of last week's opener, the Butte Central football team's offense was humming. Junior quarterback Danny Peoples completed 12 of 19 passes after halftime -- including a stretch of six straight which gobbled up 79 yards -- in a high-speed, wide-open attack that hit dizzying speeds.In Livingston's opener, the Rangers returned to the mauling ways that made them Central A champions last season -- running a whopping 51 times out of a tightly bunched Wing T formation, while attempting just five total passes.The offenses in the teams' nonconference Class A matchup on Friday night are about as different as they can be, but both will be looking forredemption at 7 p.m. at Alumni Coliseum after missed opportunities put them in their current 0-1 holes.The Maroons fell to Belgrade 20-12 on the new sprint turf at Tech last week, largely because they saw drive after drive fizzle after crossing midfield. That included getting no points out of a first-and-goal within the Panthers' 5-yard line in the closing seconds of the first half, and a fumble at the goal line early in the fourth quarter that neutralized Peoples' six straight completions."We were really disappointed in the outcome of our game," Central head coach Don Peoples, Jr. said. "The kids played really hard, but we didn't pick up their blitz. There were multiple times their blitz ended up blowing up plays -- whether they were runs or passes -- and it kept us out of end zone."We worked hard on that offensively. The kids have had a good week of practice, and I think they're ready to get back out on that field."If the Maroons are to bounce back, they'll have to do it against a Rangers 4-2-5 defense which allowed just a single score to Sidney in last week's 7-6 home defeat. They'll also have to do it against a Livingston offense which has become known for gambling. Livingston went for a two-point conversion after scoring its lone TD against Sidney -- something it did successfully 62 times a season ago while kicking just five PATs. While the Rangers came up short on their most recent conversion attempt, head coach Bryan Beitel said it's not something they're about to stop doing."We've had a high success rate in the past going for two, but unfortunately that was result last week," Beitel said. "We got stuffed a yard short and lost by a point. But we're confident in our offense to get three yards, and I expect we'll go for two more times than we'll kick a PAT thi儲存倉 week."I don't know what we averaged, but we scored a lot of points last year. To be held to six ... we didn't expect it."Livingston also doesn't like to punt, and combined for just three with Sidney a week ago. Don Peoples, Jr. was at that game, and said the Rangers went for it several times on their own side of the field."They return a bunch of linemen from last year's team which made the state semifinals, so they're big and physical," Don Peoples, Jr. said. "They're really going to make us stop them four times if we want the ball back."It's 3 yards and a cloud of dust right at you. It's a very deliberate offense."Aside from three spectacular scoring plays of 50-plus yards from Belgrade backup quarterback Brayden Konkol a week ago, the Central defense looked like it might be up for that challenge. The Maroons had held Belgrade to 134 total yards before halftime -- 60 of which came on Konkol's first scoring run -- and did not let the Panthers across midfield until midway through the third quarter."Defensively, we played a really solid ball game," Don Peoples, Jr. said. "But we gave up a couple of big plays, and the next thing you know we got beat."Danny Peoples will again lead the Marrons after passing for 230 yards, a score and no interceptions a week ago. He also led BC in rushing with 39 yards, so the club will attempt to get senior running back Wyatt Kingston rolling after he had 28 yards on 15 carries in the opener.Livingston will be led by junior running back Bobby Emter, who ran for 98 of the Rangers' 179 yards on the ground in last week's loss.Neither team wants to lose again after carrying high hopes into the year, and Don Peoples, Jr. said his team has a renewed sense of urgency."Our kids really devoted a tremendous amount of time training in the offseason," Don Peoples, Jr. said. "They really don't' want to go down 0-2, but we know we have a tough challenge ahead of us."Both coaches said the difference in the teams' philosophies isn't lost on them, and controlling the tempo will be a big factor in who takes the victory."It's two opposite styles of football," Don Peoples, Jr. said. "We run the spread offense, they're a traditional running team. We go up-tempo, they take as long as they can to run a play so they can hold onto the ball."It's going to be a unique sort of game."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Montana Standard (Butte, Mont.)
