Source: South Bend Tribune, Ind.自存倉Jan. 06--Dog's best friend is not quite down to his last straw.A month into Bill Sykes' latest mission to protect dogs and cats from the bitter cold, calls from pet caregivers wanting to insulate their animals' outside bedding with straw have dropped off."I hope that is a good sign," Sykes says on New Year's Eve, as Michiana temperatures dip into single digits and wind chills cast the snowy air into a deep freeze."Meaning," he adds, "that people are taking the initiative and are bringing their dogs in during this cold snap."Cats, too, particularly wild, outdoors feral cats."I had about 10 people that I delivered straw to," Sykes says. "Half were for dogs, and half were forcats -- there seems to be a lot of feral cats taking refuge in people's garages."It's never too cold, or too hot for Sykes to lead the charge for animals under the flag of his nonprofit Michiana Animal Alliance Group, a marquee that is somewhat misleading.Anybody who has seen Sykes in action knows he is a one-man animal rights brigade.During the summer, he takes to the streets of any given neighborhood like a door-to-door salesman, handing out literature on the pitfalls of backyard breeding and educating anybody who will listen how to properly care for a dog.Sykes' pet cause: the American Staffordshire terrier. Call his beloved breed "pit bull," then sit down for a lesson in canine semantics."Always refer to pit bulls as 'pit bull-type dogs,' " Sykes explains. "There are so many mixes out there, and they get grouped together and referred to as 'pit bulls.' "The past few winters, Sykes has devoted his time delivering wooden houses for dogs and cats to needy pet owners. The shelters were built by students in Steve Whitaker's construction class at Clay High School using plywood, shingles and other materials donated by area construction companies.But the Homes for Hounds project -- a project Sykes spearheaded after reading about free doghouses provided through a PETA newsletter -- fell through before this winter's first frost warning."Donations dropped off and Steve Whitaker retired," Sykes says, "so it was a little difficult to get that rolling."Nothing would stop the winter from getting cold. And there were still pets living outside in frigid temperatures.So Sykes turned to straw."From what I understand, straw is hard to come by right now," Sykes says. "It sets an example, and plants a seed in people's minds that short-h迷你倉出租ired domestic dogs can't tolerate the cold."If we're cold," he says simply, "they're cold."Somebody to deliver straw for a new litter of foster puppies was warm news to Dorothy Ruggles, of Niles."I was just unable to find straw," says Ruggles, who fosters animals through Seven Star Rescue in St. Joseph, and recently took in a litter of pups from North Carolina. "They were in the garage; it was heated. I have an older foster (dog) who is separated from the puppies, and it was getting cold out. I had hay for the puppies to poop in, but I needed the straw for bedding."What (Sykes) is doing is extremely important," Ruggles notes. "He does it on his own out of the goodness of his heart."He doesn't do it for the publicity and he's uncomfortable because "some factions think I'm a publicity hound.""My hope," he insists, "is that more awareness for the issues we face concerning animal welfare be addressed."But the media has served as an ally recently. In early December after a local TV news station picked up on Sykes delivering free straw to pet owners, his phone began ringing off the hook.One of those callers, Kim Sells, of South Bend, had just found a pair of newborn kittens in her garage."I gave him a call and he was more than helpful in all ways," Sells says.Not that Sykes is the only one handing out free straw for animal beds. South Bend Animal Control is also providing free straw to pet caretakers who go to the city's animal shelter at 521 Eclipse Place to pick it up.Sykes is the only one delivering straw, however."He has been an advocate for the animals in our community for many years now," says Valerie Schey, South Bend City Council member who was instrumental in getting the city's new animal shelter up and running. "He will go out into the community and work directly with pet owners, and I think what he's doing right now is so important."The way the weather is," Schey says, "it's life threatening with these temperatures for the animals."Just not on this straw dog's watch."Doing what he does," says Sells, "is like being on the front lines seeing a lot of sad things, and that's a hard place to be."I couldn't do it, my heart would be ripped out every day," she admits. "Thank God there's somebody that can."JHarrell@SBTinfo.com574-235-6368Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the South Bend Tribune (South Bend, Ind.)

南方日報訊 （記者/張西陸 通訊員/穗府信）昨日，儲存廣州市市長陳建華主持召開市政府第98次市政府常務會議，審議並通過了《廣州市地下管線綜合管廊建設工作方案》（簡稱《方案》），提出到“十二五”期末，廣州將建成40公里地下綜合管廊，屆時將把電力、通信、供水等市政公用管線集中敷設在綜合管廊內，杜絕“拉鏈路”。據悉，廣州目前有23個片區適宜建設地下綜合管廊，其中廣州國際金融城起步區、萬博中央商務將計劃建成綜合管廊示範工程項目。“十二五”期末建成40公里綜合管廊示範工程在隨後召開的市政府常務會後的即時新聞發佈會上，廣州市規劃局局長李明就《方案》的具體內容進行了通報。李明介紹，在城市化快速發展進程中推進綜合管廊建設，能有效解決城市道路反複開挖、地下空間肆意浪費、市政管線損毀事故頻發等問題。為了進一步優化和集約利用地下空間資源，統籌廣州地下管線綜合管廊建設工作，保障城市地下管線安全暢通運行，《方案》應運而生。據瞭解，廣州已建成的地下管線綜合管溝（廊）主要有大學城綜合管溝、聯邦快遞廣州基地、市疾病控制中心周邊道路和亞運城綜合管溝等，總長度共約32.6公里。按規劃要求，至“十二五”期末，廣州將實現建成綜合管廊示範工程總長度達40公里以上的目標，即這兩年，廣州至少需要再建7.4公里的綜合管廊建設項目。結合廣州實際情況，只有在大規模地下空間開發的地區，比較適宜配套建設綜合管廊，根據廣州市城市“2+3+9”重大發展平台規劃，廣州市範圍內適宜建設綜合管廊的區域共有23片區域，其中廣州國際金融城起步區、萬博中央商務區為綜合管廊的示範工程項目。此外，還包括天河智慧城、番禺創新城、廣州南站片區、新中軸線南段等均被評定為適宜建設綜合管廊。管廊建設集中新城區老城區不建議“大拆大建”據介紹，綜合管廊建設主要集中在新城區。這是否意味著老城區將無法擺脫“拉鏈路”困擾？對此，李明在回答記者的提問時表示，老城區不是說不能進行迷你倉合管廊改造，但沒有必要將每一個管網都挖開重新建設。“老城區不應該大拆大建，更不應該大挖，對於目前在用的傳統方式所鋪設的管網、管線，就讓它繼續好好使用，如果出現設備老化必須進行檢修，要按照程序取得專門開挖許可證，在特定的時間、特定的路段進行檢修。”李明解釋。此外，為加強組織領導，以切實保障廣州綜合管廊建設各項工作的落實，廣州將成立市一級的綜合管廊建設管理領導小組，由市政府相關領導任組長、副組長，成員由市發改委、市城鄉建委、市規劃局、市交委、市城管委、市水務局、市供電局、市科信局、市財政局等部門負責人組成。“從投資多元化來看，我們鼓勵社會各界，鼓勵企業參與綜合管廊的建設。”李明透露，綜合管廊由政府部門主導規劃建設，由管線的產權單位有償使用，運營單位則由業主所組成的具體特許運營單位，經過公開招投標，中標之後開展運營管理工作。至於綜合管廊運營後的具體收費問題，李明說，將根據相關規定，通過物價部門的許可進行收費。■話你知綜合管廊滿負荷使用效果更佳綜合管廊是指在城市地下建造的市政公用隧道空間中，根據規劃的要求將電力、通信、供水等市政公用管線集中敷設在一個構築物內的一種現代化、集約化的城市公用基礎設施，可分為幹線綜合管廊、支線綜合管廊、電纜溝等三種類型。在城市化快速發展進程中推進綜合管廊建設，能夠有效解決城市道路反複開挖、地下空間肆意浪費、市政管線損毀事故頻發等問題，保障地下管線的安全運行，提升城市整體環境。從目前已使用綜合管廊的項目運作情況判斷，綜合管廊集約節約土地、避免“拉鏈路”、高效成本控制等優勢已得到體現。如大學城十余萬師生的用電、用水、集中供冷等都是通過綜合管廊提供。但綜合管廊的使用也存在瑕疵，如寒暑假，師生回家了，熱水供應時間就會從全天候供應調整為分時段供應，綜合管廊滿負荷運轉成本會低許多，一旦遇到寒暑假，其運營成本就相對提高。圖片說明:地下綜合管廊可減少“拉鏈路”的出現。 資料圖片self storage

信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/很多人會選擇坐飛機回家過年。去年，迷你倉最平一名旅客訂了機票，哪知無緣無故被改簽，他錯過了春節。到底是誰動了他的機票？原來，票務公司三名“內鬼”登錄機票預售系統，更改旅客的預留電話，並冒充乘客改簽了機票。然後每張加價800元~1000元售出，賺了1.2萬多元。經查，她們三一共改了20多張機票，導致20多名乘客無法按時搭乘航班。日前，武侯法院一審判決譚慧犯破壞計算機信息系統罪，判處有期徒刑10個月；鄧婷、馬蘭因此罪均被判了有期徒刑9個月，緩刑1年。票務公司員工偷改預留電話，改簽乘客機票譚慧是北京一家航空票務代理公司長沙分公司的員工，後來升任總公司淘寶部經理，負責為客戶購買機票。2012年10月，譚慧認識了成都一家旅行網絡服務公司的員工馬蘭。去年1月，有一名旅客急需一張機票，找譚慧幫忙，譚慧一下子就想到曾幫過自己的馬蘭。馬蘭說，通過她所屬公司分給自己的賬號、密碼登錄到機票預售系統，將其他旅客留下的電話變成自己的，並冒充旅客改簽該機票。譚慧一下子就明白了，改簽後的機票就空出來，就可以通過機票預售系統馬上定下這張機票。此後，馬蘭將自己的賬號、密碼給了譚慧，譚慧就這樣第一次親手改簽了一張此前被別人購買的機票。隨後，她在全價的基礎上加了300元，賣給了那個急迷你倉的旅客。機票被改簽他沒能見上親人最後一面與此同時，譚慧還命令手下的員工鄧婷等人一同改簽機票，“她每完成一筆業務，就按照每張機票公司獲利的20%提成。”“這個軟件可以更改一些緊俏的機票，用處很大。”鄧婷說，當時正值年關，很多客人想購買春節期間往返三亞、珠海的機票。承辦檢察官說，有一名旅客的親戚病危，該乘客準備搭乘飛機前去看望，沒曾想機票被改簽，該乘客沒有見到親人最後一面。還有乘客本來打算坐飛機回家過年，由於被改簽，他們錯過了新年。更有一位乘客因此沒有趕上簽合同的時間。一人被抓兩人投案三人均被判刑接到投訴後，成都這家旅行服務公司開始著手調查，發現馬蘭所使用的工號在機票預售系統進行了篡改。警方在鎖定旅行公司後，通過查找改簽電話的源頭，鎖定了湖南長沙那家機票代理公司。一舉將譚慧擋獲，此後鄧婷、馬蘭相繼投案自首。調查發現，她們三人將搶購的機票每張加價800元至1000元不等銷售。審中，她們三低頭認罪。譚慧還委托家屬向武侯法院繳納了10萬元用于賠償受損旅客的經濟損失。（以上人物均為化名）武侯法檢 成都商報記者 王英占檢察官提醒：訂了票儘快換成紙質機票承辦此案的檢察官提醒：被改簽的乘客不能按時搭乘指定航班，可要求航空公司承擔違約責任。同時，市民儘量到機票代售點購買機票，購買了電子機票的提前到代售點取紙質機票，以免耽誤行程。mini storage

香港文匯報訊 （記者 吳沚芊） 香港酒店業主聯會執行總幹事李漢城形容，迷你倉旺角現有規管旅館業的法例是「三不像」，既沒有清楚分別為酒店及賓館下定義，而消防條例方面又存在灰色地帶，政府在修訂法例時應一視同仁，設立全面的防火及建築物條例，以保障旅客。李漢城又強調，酒店和賓館都有存在價值，但絕對反對任何無牌賓館存在，亦不應容許在住宅大廈經營賓館。上星期北角五洲大廈的3級火警，揭示現行法例之下，旅館只要符合樓宇結構和消防安全等，當局便不能以其他理由拒絕發出牌照，甚至無視大廈公契，民政事務局局長曾德成日前亦就此表示，會考慮對規管旅館業的法例作出檢討。指賓館令大廈成「無掩雞籠」李漢城表示，對局長有誠意去檢討旅館業的法例深感高興。李漢城指，酒店和賓館有共同存在的價值，不反對設在商業大廈或商住大廈低層、而又合乎標準的消防條例和建築物條例、並有牌照的情況下經營的賓館。但他強調，不應容許任何人在消防設施要求較低的住宅大廈經營賓館，除了易生意外，不少住戶和業主立案法團投訴賓館令大廈成了「無掩雞籠」，人流複雜，對住客造成滋擾。李漢城更反對任何無牌賓館存在，建議政府若發現無牌賓館一再經營，應強制封閉賓館，以收阻嚇作用。有賓館「斬件」避消防例規管李漢城透露，消防條例方面亦存在灰色地帶，因230平方米以下的賓館毋須安裝自動噴灑，不少賓館刻意「斬件」來mini storage開消防條例的規管，李漢城提醒，政府在修訂法例時應一視同仁，設立全面的防火及建築物條例，讓入住賓館或酒店的旅客得到同樣保障。李漢城又指，現有規管旅館業的法例沒有清楚分別為酒店及賓館下定義，因酒店有24小時的管理、消防、保安服務，故即使3星級酒店與一些賓館價錢相近，性質也大不相同。酒店房間足夠迎訪港客對於外界指，因酒店業未能提供足夠房間來應付龐大的訪港旅客量，以致無牌賓館應運而生，李漢城解釋，香港酒店的平均入住率只有近86%，以2012年為例，旅遊發展局公佈訪港旅客有逾4,800萬人次，但當中52%皆不在香港過夜，當中包括水貨客、坐直通車來回購物或到主題公園的遊客、以香港作中轉站到珠三角的海外旅客等，他們對酒店房間並無需求。而剩下的近2,400萬留港過夜的旅客中，亦有約39%是住在親友家、或公寓賓館中，故此香港酒店能提供足夠房間應付訪港旅客的需求。李漢城又指，未來高鐵開通、港珠澳大橋落成，預料訪港旅客會大幅增長，故投資者亦對香港旅遊業有信心，投放資金提供更多酒店房間，以滿足不斷增長的訪港旅客量。李漢城又建議，香港不單要維持旅客喜歡來港購物的優勢，更可向其他方面發展，如醫療旅遊等；另外，近年內地學生來港爭相報考國際公開試，如托福試（TOEFL）或學術評估測試（SAT），政府亦應把握當中的商機，促使本港旅遊業有進一步發展。迷你倉

Source: The Philadelphia InquirerJan.迷你倉 04--Howard Mudd was trying to think of the free-agent tackle, the one the Eagles were forced to sign after Jason Peters ruptured his Achilles tendon before the 2012 season."The guy from Buffalo . . . Demetress Bell," Mudd finally recalled. "Oops, that didn't work out."The former Eagles offensive line coach, now retired, was going through some of the combinations of linemen he was forced to insert into the lineup after four (!) of five starters were injured last season.Mudd wasn't complaining. He didn't make a peep last season about the hand he was dealt. But the Eagles' injury-marred 2012 stands in sharp contrast to this season, when all five of the linemen started every regular-season game.And Jason Peters, Evan Mathis, Jason Kelce, Todd Herremans, and Lane Johnson are slated to start once again when the Eagles host the Saints in the first round of the playoffs on Saturday night.Their health and the near-seamless returns of Peters and Kelce from major injuries have been one of the main reasons why Chip Kelly was able to turn last season's 4-12 misery into a 10-6, NFC East-winning success.And Mudd, who coached four of those five for two seasons and was instrumental in their development -- especially Mathis and Kelce -- has been like the proud papa, watching most of the Eagles' games from his retirement home in Leisure World, Ariz."Personally, I'm very proud because they learned how to play with each other," Mudd said during a telephone interview this week. "They know each other. I don't know about the new guy [Johnson]. He looks like he's doing fine. But all those guys know each other so well, and they respect one another, and they play very well together."Mudd still texts back and forth with the four. The messages are mostly words of encouragement and congratulations. He doesn't want to step on new Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland's toes.But while Mudd refused to take any credit for the line's impressive play, it's hard not to look at the unit and think what may have been had he not emphasized acquiring athletic linemen and introduced an aggressive blocking technique.Kelly has never said it, but the fact that the Eagles had linemen that were ideally suited to his spread offense had to be a bonus when he took the coaching job. The zone-combination schemes, the space blocking, and the pulling linemen are tailored to Mudd's prototype lineman."He's asking them to do the same stuff I was asking them to do when I got there," Mudd said of Kelly. "And that's the way the west was won as far as I'm concerned. In Indianapolis we had four athletic guys. That's what I was used to. When I got there, we had these pieces."'Be an athlete'Looking back, it is remarkable how much Mudd turned over the line after he arrived in 2011 -- lured out of his first retirement by Andy Reid after more than a decade of producing some of the NFL's best units with the Colts.By the start of the season, left tackle Jason Peters was the only remaining starter still at his same spot from the previous season. Todd Herremans had been moved from left guard to right tackle because Winston Justice was slow to recover from a knee injury, and fill-ins Ryan Harris and King Dunlap didn't pan out.Mathis, signed as a free agent after six journeyman years, arrived that summer amid the Dream Team hysteria virtually unnoticed. But Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and his staff had been plowing through tape looking for Mudd-type linemen.Mathis had previously played in Cincinnati, and Ryan Grigson, then the Eagles director of player personnel, had a close relationship with Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander. Grigson, now the Colts GM, was drafted by the Bengals in 1995, and Alexander was his first position coach."Ryan Grigson brought in Evan Mathis," Mudd said. "He told me, 'You're going to like this guy.' I said, 'OK.' He knew what I was about."Mathis, after being misused at various stops, arrived at Eagles camp in tip-top shape. But he still had tendencies that Mudd said they would butt heads over."You look at him and you see this freaky guy that could lift the whole side of the building -- a weight-lifter-type guy," Mudd said. "Not a body builder. Yeah, he likes to look good, too, but here's this real powerful man that could muscle people around. The struggle that he had with me was, 'I don't want you to be a power guy. I want you to be an athlete.' "Mudd wanted Mathis to use his quickness and his ability to change direction as leverage. It didn't take long for Mumini storaged's methods to work, and when Herremans was shifted to tackle, Mathis seamlessly stepped into left guard."I always wish I would have had him way before I got him," Mudd said. "He's exceptional at the nonphysical things. He's really smart. He questions everything. That didn't bother me. I didn't give a [shoot]. If I don't have an answer for it . . . then what I'm telling you must not have a real good foundation for it."Despite being snubbed by the Pro Bowl, Mathis was essentially rewarded for three years of all-pro level play when he was selected to the Associated Press' first team on Friday."I'll always give him tons of credit for teaching me so much new information at that point in my career," Mathis said of Mudd.It's safe to say Kelce wouldn't have been drafted by the Eagles if it weren't for Mudd. The team got him in the sixth round out of Cincinnati, pretty much where many draft analysts had him pegged."His size -- the conventional scouting fraternity was like he's a little small, and this, that, and the other stuff," Mudd said. "And I just watched his film. I didn't give a [shoot]. I just liked him."The Eagles brought Kelce in for a predraft interview."I was very prejudiced when he walked into the building," Mudd said. "He would have had to do something really silly for us not to like him. . . . But he didn't."Despite the NFL lockout that wiped out spring practices, Mudd said he had Kelce "earmarked" to start not long after training camp had started, even though longtime starter Jamaal Jackson was still on the roster."It was right after the third practice, and Howard pulled me aside and was like, 'You want to play this year?' And I was like, 'Yeah, I want to play this year,' " Kelce said. "And he was like, 'Well, just keep learning the offense. Keep working like you're working and just know there are a lot of people excited with what you're doing.' "Kelce won the job and played all 16 games as a rookie. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the second game of last season, but returned and had what many considered to be a Pro Bowl-caliber third season.'Will to be dominant'Peters, despite having to return from two Achilles tendon injuries, was voted to his sixth Pro Bowl last week and his third all-pro team. Mudd said the left tackle is on the path to greater achievements."I keep saying, 'HOF,' to him," Mudd said. "The kind of people that belong in the Hall of Fame are the ones that dominate their position in their time, and he's done that."Peters had already been to four Pro Bowls when Mudd arrived, but he had arguably his best season with Mudd as his coach."He has the will to be dominant," Mudd said. "It isn't just, 'I'm a good athlete, I'm a freak,' and all that stuff. It's, 'I want to kick your [butt].' And he sets out to do that every play if he can."Johnson came with the reputation of being a "freak" athletically. Mudd agreed that the rookie right tackle would have thrived working in his blocking system."After the draft, Howie Roseman sent me a DVD, [and] said: 'Hey, this is the guy we drafted. You'd really like this guy,' " Mudd said. "At the beginning of the year, of course he's a rookie, and he's going to struggle with certain things. I've just watched him grow through the whole year."Not all of the linemen associated with Mudd panned out. Guard Danny Watkins, selected first in the 2011 draft -- five rounds ahead of Kelce -- struggled during his two seasons and was released by Kelly in August."Very disappointed with the outcome, not with them getting rid of him," Mudd said. "I knew that was going to happen. To look at the potential that was there and then what actually transpired were two totally different things. There was some kind of disconnect psychologically because it had nothing to do with the physical."Watkins, after he recovered from an ankle injury, never got back in the lineup last season. By the end of the year, the starting group consisted of center Dallas Reynolds, tackles King Dunlap and Dennis Kelly, and guards Jake Scott and Mathis."We were always shuffling people around; 'This guy's got to play here, and that guy's got to play over there,' " Mudd said. "When Watkins got hurt we put big, old Dennis Kelly in at guard. Then we bring Jake Scott in off the street. And then we got better!"I'm just glad they didn't have to go through that this year."___jmclane@phillynews.com@Jeff_McLaneCopyright: ___ (c)2014 The Philadelphia Inquirer Visit The Philadelphia Inquirer at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage

Source: York Daily Record, Pa.迷你倉Jan. 06--A small collective of yoga teachers in York County decided to add a little extra fluidity to their practices by starting a Pop-Up Yoga arm in York."We are bringing yoga to the people," said Jackie Dahlheimer, one of the group's teachers. "Creating a moving community."Pop-up Yoga refers to holding an organized class that is distinguished by its setting in that the principal use of the space is unrelated to yoga."There is nothing wrong with practicing in a studio," Dahlheimer said. "It's safe. But it's powerful to just show up and make a yoga studio."The Pop-Up Yoga movement came to the Central Pennsylvania area first in Lancaster County.Seeing that success, Dahlheimer, along with five other instructors, decided to hold a few classes in York to see if they would catch on.Four months into the experiment, the group is gaining momentum, Dahlheimer said."The classes are still small," she said. "People are still trying to find us."Currently, the group hosts about seven classes, five days a week, with locations around York, including restaurants, bars, art galleries and dance studios."We are always looking for suggestions or recommendations for other spots," Dahlheimer said.And the collective is hoping to expand to locat迷你倉將軍澳ons throughout the county.Recently, the group met with the Pop-Up Yoga Lancaster folks for a session on the grounds of Lauxmont Farms in Lower Windsor Township.For a couple of months this fall, a majority of classes were held in a temporary art gallery next to the Park Street Pantry on Beaver St. in York.The gallery was run by artist Carmen Walsh, who welcomed the yoga practice to her space."I thought it would be nice to offer the space," Walsh said. "I figured it might encourage people who might not normally come in."Although Walsh was not been in the gallery long enough to know the impact of Pop-Up Yoga, she said she would recommend the idea to other business owners."People will come in for the yoga who might not know they like your products, or you're in a part of town they don't normally come to," she said.And practicing in an art gallery adds to the beauty of the practice, Dahlheimer said."It gives you a way to walk into a building you've never been in and feel welcome," she said.Check popupyogayork.com for schedules and location details.Classes are a $10 donation.You can also find them on Facebook.Copyright: ___ (c)2014 York Daily Record (York, Pa.)

價值一度狂瀉的比特幣（Bitcoin），self storage隨�知名網上遊戲商宣布接納以Bitcoin支付遊戲費用後，再受刺激重上一千美元之上。雖然Bitcoin近期多次出現大波動，但趁低吸納或跟風炒作的大不乏人，接受為交易媒介的商家數目不少。這種另類貨幣的認受性禁也禁不住，相關支付平台、交易商、商家聯盟不斷增加，產業鏈漸成型，去年甚至有特定提款機在加拿大出現，現在更傳出在香港「設機」，儼然對香港監管機構提出正面挑戰。在長長的歷史洪流中，Bitcoin或最終會成為歷史，但虛擬世界的電子商貿高速增長，產生巨大威力，造就虛擬貨幣的供應及需求，不單衝破政府嚴禁的重圍，更直接挑戰實體經濟中的傳統貨幣地位及相關監管法規，已不是當局單純的否定就可打壓下來。面世只有幾年的Bitcoin，去年大熱，風潮席捲全球，由於供應有限，驟成投機者的尋寶地。去年年初還不過是價值十二點五美元，到年尾已狂升至一千二百美元的歷史高位，升幅近百倍，迫使Bitcoin交易在全球數一數二的中國出手封殺。人民銀行去年十二月發出禁令，明文規定金融機構與支付機構不得買賣或接納使用，一盆冷水照頭淋，令內地幣價一度暴挫一半。不知是否暴升暴跌嚇怕個別炒家或政府，除中國之外，其他國家如南韓、泰國、馬來西亞政府都表明不承認其為合法貨幣；印度早前突擊搜查並關閉迷你倉地最大Bitcoin網站，印度央行並警告，這涉及安全、金融風險。可是，相對於亞洲的誠惶誠恐，西方國家的應對大為不同，德國擬將之納入法償貨幣，對其徵收資本利得稅，北歐國家挪威亦倣效德國展開研究；美國是全球Bitcoin交易最多的地方之一，已將之納入防洗錢範圍，雖然前聯儲局主席格林斯潘指其缺乏傳統貨幣的儲值功能，現任主席伯南克卻認為Bitcoin前景大有可為，召開聽證會後，美國司法部及聯儲局對包括Bitcoin在內的虛擬貨幣持開放態度，結果形成東西方一冷一熱的二元對立。簡單而言，貨幣的傳統功能包括交易媒介、儲存價值及單位計算，認受性往往取決於政府認可的法定地位及流通性。經濟向前，貨幣由政府或法定機構發行的「鈔票」，演進至今日的各式各樣電子貨幣，例如信用卡、儲值卡、電子支票等相繼出現，促進人與人、商家與商家、國與國的商業交易，是現代經濟的重要一環。隨�網絡虛擬世界快速崛起，電子商貿正以雷霆萬鈞之勢發展，移動遊戲及網購成風，類似Bitcoin形式的新一代虛擬電子貨幣必定禁之不絕，春風吹又生。政府要穩定金融及經濟，防止過度炒賣，便要認真研究，做好規範工作才是上策。環顧其他地區，要不是封殺趕絕，要不就是納入規範成為經濟一部分。香港對此仍視若無睹，監管機構甚麼也不承認，也不打算管理，明顯落後於形勢。迷你倉將軍澳

南方日報訊 （記者/魏金鋒）隨著春節的臨近，mini storage春運搶票巔峰正式來臨，從6日開始，車站窗口、代售點、自助售票機也開始發售小年當天火車票，至此今年春運的搶票大戰也進入白熱化階段。記者從鐵路部門瞭解到，此次搶票高峰將一直持續到本周六（1月11日），本周也因此被譽為“搶票周”。清遠快捷票務公司工作人員表示，代售點只能預售18天車票，目前可以買23日左右的車票，但今年買票比往年更緊張，其中去四川成都、達州，重慶秀山，江蘇南通，山東濟南以及湖南等地的車票在代售點幾乎無票可售，“有些車次的車票我們見都沒見到過。”記者體驗春運“搶票大戰”後發現春運期間清遠開往熱門方向的臥鋪車票基本在開售2分鐘之內就能被搶購一空，由此可見，春運“一票難求”的情況仍未緩解，春節期間準備乘坐火車回家過年的旅客還應做足準備工作。6日起可搶除夕當天臨客票據悉，今年春運期間，圖定旅客列車互聯網（.12306.cn）、電話訂票（95105105）預售期為20天，車站窗口、代售點、自動售票機預售期為18天。臨客車票網絡、電話預售期為25天，窗口、代售點等為23天，照此計算，今日，臨客最遠可以買到臘月三十（本月30日）的車票。1月8日至10日將可以購買春運最高峰日臘月二十七、臘月二十八和臘月二十九3天的火車票。1月11日起，則可以通過網絡、電話購買年臘月三十的火車票。鐵路部門工作人員介紹，由於今年春節放假安排調整為正月初一至初七，除夕不再放假，導致往年集中在臘月二十九提前返家的多數中短途上班族，會選擇在除夕當天坐火車回家，因此預計除夕當天中短途車票會非常緊張，也因此提醒中短途旅客不妨提前購票以免耽誤行程。根據往年的經驗，臘月二十三到除夕是在外務工人員的返鄉高峰期，因此這幾天的車票也最為搶手。來自山東濟寧的張先生一家已經在清遠打拼五個年頭了，每年的春運搶票都被張先生稱之為“戰場”。由於23日小年當天的車票沒能搶到，張先生就想上代售點碰碰運氣，可惜還是掃興而歸，“實在沒辦法就坐儲存機了，飛機票不會也這麼難買吧。”電話訂票成功率相對較高業內人士提醒，普通旅客尤其是不太熟悉網絡的外來務工人員，在訂票高峰期間使用電話訂票相對更加保險。記者瞭解到，電話訂票使用座機成功率會更高，無論從通話質量的穩定性，還是撥打的難易程度考慮，座機都優于手機。但需要提醒廣大旅客的是，使用電話搶票，最好提前熟悉瞭解電話訂票的整個流程，在撥打電話時不需等系統播完所有內容就可以提前按下相應的數字鍵，以此來節約時間，並提高訂票的成功率。據鐵路部門相關工作人員介紹，搶票大戰預計將持續至本周末，由於網絡、電話、手機客戶端車票預售期比火車站窗口早2天，因此建議廣大旅客提前多多熟悉相關購票流程，做足準備工作，並優先使用網絡、電話和手機客戶端購票。■提醒假身份證購票不能換票、退票而針對近日有報道指出的部分黃牛用虛假身份證號通過12306網站直接購票囤票，找到買家後退票回購轉賣的現象，12306網站表示，12306網站實行購票實名制，旅客購票必須填寫有效的乘車人身份信息，如使用假身份證號購買車票，在車站窗口、鐵路客票代售點、自動售取票機等均不能辦理換票、退票手續。對通過12306網站退回的車票，12306網站均採取計算機隨機處理的方式進行處理，系統會根據距離車票開車時間的遠近，在確保每一張車票都有充足時間再次售出的前提下，自動隨機地將退回的車票再次放出，供旅客購買。因此鐵路部門提醒廣大旅客，今後7天左右的時間是春運售票的最高峰期，旅客購票應使用本人有效身份證件，通過正規渠道和到正規售票場所購票，特別注意不要向他人泄露身份信息，不從票販手中購票，以免上當受騙，對各種形式的倒票行為，旅客一經發現可向鐵路警方舉報。清遠交通部門表示，春運期間，清遠各車站將繼續加強實名制車票核驗工作，請廣大旅客注意“票、證、人”的一致性，以免耽誤旅行。圖片說明:記者體驗春運“搶票大戰”，春運期間清遠開往熱門方向的臥鋪車票開售2分鐘之內就能被搶購一空。 南方日報記者 曾亮超 攝迷你倉
