NEW YORK, Jan.文件倉 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Angie's List, Inc. ("Angie's List" or the "Company") and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana, and docketed under 14-cv 0023LJM-MJD, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Angie's List securities between February 14, 2013 and October 23, 2013 both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.If you are a shareholder who purchased Angie's List securities during the Class Period, you have until February 24, 2014 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at .pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, x237. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and number of shares purchased.Angie's List, Inc. operates a consumer-driven solution for its members to research, hire, rate, and review local professionals for home, health care, and automotive service needs.The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Angie's List had increased its reliance on providing free memberships in order to artificially boost its subscriber figures; (ii) that contrary to Angie's List's repeated Class Period statements that the online reviews were unbiased because Angie's List did not permit service providers to buy ratings on its website, the Company was consistently deriving more than half of its revenues from the service provider side of its business - where it relied heavily on collecting fees for listing paid service providers more prominently; (iii) that because Angie's List sometimes charged service providers hundreds of dollars for "hot leads," those costs were being passed along to Angie's List subscribers, increasing the prices consumers were paying and decreasing the benefit to them of u存倉ing the website; (iv) that the legitimacy of the service provider side of Angie's List's business model was called into question by Angie's List's practice of forcing service providers to pay high fees to be listed as highly rated service providers, knowing that if they did not, they would not get customer referrals from Angie's List; (v) that because Angie's List did not vet the service providers listed and recommended on its website, either for qualifications or for safety, many consumers were questioning the value of its recommendations, making them unwilling to continue paying outsized membership fees; and (vi) as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the strength of Angie's List's business model.The complaint alleges that through a series of disclosures between September 30, 2013 and October 24, 2013, investors learned that: (i) Angie's List's Chief Technology Officer had been terminated - without explanation or naming a replacement; (ii) Angie's List had slashed membership prices by roughly 75% in several key markets, in a bid to attract new members; (iii) the Company's third quarter 2013 financial results were much weaker than defendants had led the market to expect, and the same declining business metrics had forced Angie's List to issue weaker fourth quarter 2013 financial guidance; and (iv) certain analysts were questioning the Company's ability to meet its future financial obligations.On this news, the price of Angie's List common stock declined $20.99 on October 2, 2013 to close at $14.64 on October 24, 2013, a decline of over 30.25%, on unusually high trading volume.The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Florida, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members.

前言“2013年台山市旅遊總收入突破了40億元大關，迷你倉川島年內遊客首次突破了100萬人。”在剛剛結束的台山市委十二屆四次全會上，台山市市長張磊用了兩個“突破”來對台山旅遊經濟進行總結。回顧剛剛過去的2013年，台山市旅遊業實現了多個歷史性的突破，全年接待遊客670萬人次，旅遊收入達到了43億元，同比增長了17%，正逐步成長為台山市的重要產業。那麼台山旅遊何以在這一年實現如此多的突破呢？在台山市旅遊協會年度大會召開之際，我們對2013年台山旅遊發展情況作一梳理，成此專題。我們梳理中發現，這一年的旅遊發展多個突破源於三大原因：一是硬件的升級改造；二是借節造勢的推介宣傳；三是淡季營銷的推廣。遂以這三大關鍵詞，對這一年台山旅遊業做一小結，是為2013台山旅遊發展白皮書。關鍵詞 改造升級道路拓寬、酒店改造、建設環島公路……旅遊產品升級改造，貫穿2013全年。這一年，川島正式�動了創5A景區的工作，為此，一系列的升級改造工程開工了。安全上，投入575萬元對上川三洲碼頭進行除險加固，投入2480萬元建造下川獨灣碼頭防波堤。交通上，將省道麻陽線高速路出口至山咀港入口路段由原本的雙車道加寬為四車道；投入1650萬元建成下川島環島公路。“旅遊好不好，房間最重要。”為了提高服務質量，提升景區品質，川島開始了一系列的酒店升級改造工程，6月份正式對外營業的悅海嘉洲海島度假酒店，占地面積近8000平方米，建築面積1.5萬平方米，是目前上川島規模最大、客房最多、服務設施最齊全的濱海旅遊度假酒店。另外，第二期工程擬再建一間26層的綜合性酒店，目前該項目的規劃已通過審核。在下川王府洲旅遊區內，投資3億元19層高的怡和大酒店已于2013年7月奠基動工，按五星級標準進行建設。在這些新酒店的帶動下，一大批賓館酒店也都加速了增資改造升級的步伐，包括下川格豪酒店(原豪景酒店)投入2500萬元、下川海都酒店投入1300萬元、麗海灣酒店投入2000萬元、南海酒店投入800萬元、下川星海灣酒店(原富士酒店)投入2000萬元進行升級改造。不僅在川島，作為台山溫泉游的重點地區，三合也開�了溫泉升級的步伐。投資50億元開發的台山頤和溫泉城一期建設中，這裡將打造成為國際一流溫泉旅遊度假區自存倉關鍵詞 借節造勢除了自身硬件的升級，還需要更多的推廣平台，讓人們瞭解台山旅遊的內容和特色。為此，台山市在2013年舉辦了多個大型旅遊推介活動，特別是借勢節假日，進行造勢，影響巨大。新年伊始，元旦期間就在台山市旅遊中心城舉辦的“台山僑鄉美食節”，規模盛大，節目豐富多彩，還有美食評比展示、“私房菜我作煮”家庭烹調競技、新年倒計時晚會、電台電視台名主持與市民互動、精彩舞台文藝表演等系列活動，將台山旅遊美食旅遊進行了一次大規模推介。夏季旅遊高峰期時，在各地分別進行了各類主體活動。6月12日“第二屆川島海灘SA LA拉丁狂歡節”在下川王府洲旅遊區舉行。7月29日“川山群島盛夏藝術節”在王府洲旅遊區上演。9月18日在飛沙灘旅遊區舉辦“2013江門市旅遊推介會暨台山市濱海風情旅遊節”，對26家旅行社頒發了總額為75萬元的“2012年度川島旅遊特別貢獻獎”。國慶節至重陽節期間，舉辦的“台山水步牛肉美食文化節”，吸引了本地市民乃至深、港、澳等珠三角地區的數十萬遊客。關鍵詞 淡季營銷“台山旅遊市場受季節性影響明顯，夏秋旺，冬春淡。”作為以海島游為主的台山旅遊多年來一直面臨的難題，台山川島國旅率先找到了突破口。為解決這一現象，做到旺季更旺、淡季不淡，從2011年起，他們開始了內陸市場的開拓。“雖然在冬天，珠三角的人們不願意去沙灘，但對於內地，特別是寒冷的北方而言，海島20多攝氏度的氣溫非常適宜。”台山川島國旅常務副總經理文煥清向記者介紹了他們開拓內地市場的歷程。“我們就針對性地打造了‘南下度假’和‘到南方過春節’等線路，到浙江、江蘇等地推廣，結果非常成功。”在嘗試得到了成功之後，川島國旅開始了和當地的旅行社的深度合作，並在當地進行“川島旅遊”的推廣宣傳。台山市旅遊局也開始加強與開平市旅遊局合作，打造“碉樓-溫泉-川島”的黃金線路。同時，也密切聯繫省內外有實力的旅行社，採取獎勵政策，與他們簽訂有償的市場推廣協議。隨著這些措施的不斷實施，近年來，到川島旅遊的客源市場由以往珠三角地區和內陸地區的8：2變成了6：4。14-19版策劃/統籌：南都記者 劉學採寫：南都記者 劉學 石江龍 梁曉琳 林惠娟 實習生 余綺華 通訊員 許麗鶯攝影：南都記者 劉在富(除署名外)迷你倉出租

self storage 　　In the Christmas and New Year golden holidays that just passed, large groups of mainland tourists swarmed department stores and brand-name shops in Europe and the US on a "bloody battle" with everyone returning fully-loaded. This became international news because mainland tourists are going out of Asia towards Europe and the US. Hong Kong's tourist and retail industries are gradually becoming concerned as the craze of mainlanders visiting the SAR losing steam.　　Statistics of the Tourism Board show that mainland tourists made 34.9 million trips into Hong Kong in 2012. Of them, over 23 million were travelling under the individual visit scheme. In the first 11 months of last year, there were 33.48 million, with over 25 million on individual visit. It can be seen that the total number of mainland visitors was about the same in the two years but they were mostly travelling under the individual visit scheme.　　The new trend is not unrelated to the new tourism law that came into effect in the mainland last year. To eradicate the drawback of forced shopping, the mainland strictly prohibited low-priced and shopping tours which caused the number of tours to the SAR to fall immediately.CASS predicts slowdown in tour groups to continue　　The Hong Kong Inbound Travel Association pointed out that in the golden period of the past two months, the number of mainland tour groups fell by 20 per cent. Tour agencies, coach operators and retailers found life harder than before, being caught in the ripple effects. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences （CASS） for the first time issued a warning to Hong Kong's tourist industry on Wednesday that the situation of fewer tour groups and more individual travellers will continue this year. It also predicted the growth of visitors from the mainland to fall by 5 percentage points compared to last year.　　One of the reasons for the fall in the number of mainland tourists is that many have been to Hong Kong before and they opt for other countries preferring the new to the old. Some mainland big spenders go for higher enjoyment, mostly visiting Europe and the US for food and fun or buying cheaper brand-name products. If this continues, it cannot be ruled out that even the individual travellers will reach out, coming less often to Hong Kong. Then the prospects of Hong Kong's tourist industry will not look good.　　Travel experience, unique culture and tradition as well as novelty are equally important to a place. Hong Kong is a metropolis where East and West meet, so it bears attraction to tourists. But in terms of innovation, it has become standstill in recent years. There are not many new tourist spots. The West Kowloon Cultural District and the East Kowloon new development area will take years to complete. Standards also keep falling in local supporting facilities such as hotel rooms and services.　　Neighbouring regions including Guang Dong Province, Macau and Singapore are all aggressively developing tour facilities. The recent enormous theme park in Hengqin is an example. They pose competition to Hong Kong's tourist industry. For Hong Kong to increase the number of tourist spots and enhance supporting facilities, they cannot be achieved overnight. But not catching up and being edged out by competitors will mean severe consequences.　　Speeding up the expansion of Disneyland, completing the new hotels there and in Ocean Park earlier, as well as rapidly turning Lantau Island into a new tourist destination must not be all talks. They require coordination between the government, Legco and the tourist sector to come true."Anti-mainland" malpractice affects tourism　　Immediate changes are raising the "soft power", one of them being in service standards. Faced with an increase in the number of individual travellers entering Hong Kong, the tourist industry should change its strategies to provide more tailor-made personal tours such as guided tours of rural areas, ancient as well as cultural sites. There is much room for exploration in these to attract them to spend here with flexible and high-quality travel experience.　　What is more important is to have mainlanders feel at home, but in recent years, a bad practice of some Hongkongers in rejecting mainlanders prevails, causing discontent in some visitors. The radical behaviour of some members of the local faction also resulted in the "anti-mainland" illusion which will affect the tourists' perception and have an impact on the tourist and retail industries. This trend must be stopped early to prevent the tourist industry from contracting further.Published in the Sing Tao Daily on January 9Vocabularyswarm (v) —— 湧到eradicate (v) —— 根絕drawback (n) —— 毛病unique (adj) —— 獨特的novelty (n) —— 新鮮感metropolis (n) —— 都會innovation (n) —— 創新standstill (n) —— 停滯pose (v) —— 造成perception (n) —— 觀感Useful Termsindividual visit scheme —— 自由行forced shopping —— 強逼購物ripple effect —— 漣漪作用tour facility —— 旅遊設施guided tour —— 導賞團Did you know?　　Hong Kong can expect at least 41 million mainland visitors this year, but the big spenders will likely be going elsewhere, according to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The rise in visitors will be 7 per cent, compared with 12 per cent last year, according to the academy's tourism green paper. Green paper editor Song Rui said individual travellers are now allowed to visit more places so the growth rate of mainland tourists in Hong Kong will definitely slow down. Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong chairman Michael Wu Siu-ieng said he did not see the slower growth in visitors having any impact on tourism. But the council's executive director, Joseph Tung Yao-chung, said the forecast should be a wake-up call. Hong Kong Retail Management Association chairman Caroline Mak Sui-king said there will be an impact on the retail industry if the prediction is accurate.Q&A1.
