踏進北極圈——海達路德輪
Hurtigruten,迷你倉 「海達路德」的故事,可以作為卑爾根通商口岸歷史的延續。十九世紀末,挪威政府委託理查德拓建一條連接挪威南北地區的安全貿易路線。一八九三年,理查德船長Richard With和他的朋友安德斯Anders Holthe,成功以汽船DS Vesteraalen開展定期航線服務,最初行走特隆赫Trondheim與哈默菲斯特Hammerfest,後來拓展至卑爾根到希爾克內斯的七天航程。理查德叫這新航線「海達路德」,它的解釋是「快速的路線」。海達路德輪的MS Nordnorge 「北挪威號」,將載�我們駛過二千四百公里的挪威海岸,穿越暗礁、小島和狹灣,從卑爾根到達北極小城希爾克內斯──就像一百二十年前一樣。「海達路德輪不單是觀光郵輪,也是工作船。」登船後第一次乘客簡報會上,領隊哈拉特別說明。海達路德輪不變的傳統,一百二十年來,他們的船每天頻繁地進出一個又一個港口,載人,載貨,運送郵件。海達路德輪有很多短途旅客。船隊有十一艘船,每天一船離開卑爾根開往希爾克內斯,一次循環航程需時十二天。「挪威風情」是我們岸上第一個觀光節目。起點是Urke小村莊,湖光山色,讓人感覺詩一般的生活,就像單張上的描述:「我們大概五十三人住在Urke,十名兒童,三十一名成人和十二名長者,還有二十多位木房子主人……這裡的工作人口十四人……市場花園給我們提供新鮮的西紅柿和蔬菜。峽灣裡有魚。山谷裡,山羊和綿羊自如吃草。小電廠提供電力。我們有其他需要,可以到Orsta或Alesund。但我們喜歡自給自足……在Urke欣賞美景,享受生活。」這是我跟挪威的初接觸。眼前風光與文字描寫,完全�合。嵌藏在挪威最狹窄的Norangsdalen 山谷裡,Lyngst�l澄明碧綠的湖水中,浸沉�遠古住民的石建築遺蹟。高聳的Sunnm�rsalpene山脈環抱下,我們小歇在一八九一年的酒店,在百年歷史的氛圍裡,品嘗地道羊肉湯。位於北半球高緯度的挪威,秋色極美,讓人流連,楓紅杏黃,只看顏色,就不枉此行了。挪威的第二大冰川Svartisen,對我這個亞熱帶遊人來說,是另一個世界。手中一杯熱咖啡,我沉醉在藍色冰川的純潔和她的湖中倒影,絕對的寧靜。我正幻想大自然的斧鑿,歷數百萬年,塑造這神秘的冰川世界。女導遊以最簡單的用詞,給我們解釋冰川的形成。「當春夏的溫度不足以完全融化去年冬雪,餘雪變成冰。積冰年復一年化成冰川。」「曾幾何時,冰湖是冰川的一部分。」「冰川衰退是地球跟我們說話了。」女導遊說。返回海達路德輪的海途上,我們看到了歐洲最大的掠食鳥─海鵰,在遠處的天空翱翔。我想起英倫南部的海岸動物水族館寫道: 「大海鴉滅絕了,渡渡鳥如是……滅絕是永遠消失,瀕危意味�我們還有時間。」海上第四天的清晨,我們進入北極圈。我跑到露天甲板上,看到代表進入北極圈的地球圖標,我們一起歡呼。老伴的心思被領隊哈拉特的宣布扣�─踏入北極圈的首個晚上,天朗氣清,我們很大機會看到北極光。最近我們有新的遊伴─老伴的哈蘇「月亮」相機。可以拍攝優質的高清照片,或是局部顏色的黑白照。北極光的學名是aurora borealis,取自羅馬曙光女神aurora和北風的希臘文borealis。極光是顯示在天空中的自然光,地球高緯度地區(北極和南極)的特別現象,主要是高海拔大氣層的高能帶電粒子碰撞造成。那天晚上,天空一片漆黑。開始時是一團光,然後我從哈蘇相機的觀景器看到了熒光綠色的光芒慢慢擴大,照亮了大片夜空。我看到的北極光是隨機形狀,不是典型的簾狀。讀過一些資料,知道不同的氧╱氮排放量,會給出綠、紅或藍色的極光,而極光的狀態可以在幾秒鐘內改變或數小時維持不變。因此,極光有個美麗的別名叫「精靈之舞」。我卻滿足於我看到的北極光──它給我留下的印象是永恆的。當夜,郵輪為我們準備了非常甜美的鹿肉湯。「北角」觀光團甚受歡迎,既可踏足歐洲大陸最北點,更可親見斯堪的納維亞半島Scandinavia的土著「薩米人」S�mi。導賞員先給我們描繪一幅田園畫。春天,薩米人用船把馴鹿群載到北角高原。薩米人在稱為「lavvo」的小營地度過夏天,馴鹿在島上自由地放牧和繁殖。秋天,馴鹿變得強壯,牧人把鹿群帶到最窄的mini storage口,讓牠們游泳回到大陸去。北角高原的半路上,一位薩米人與他們奉為神聖的白色馴鹿等�我們。薩米人是北極地區土著,半遊牧民族,分布於挪威北部,瑞典,芬蘭,俄羅斯的科拉半島,瑞典和挪威之間中南部的邊界地區。根據北歐文本,薩米人有兩大類,海薩米人以捕魚為生,山薩米人以誘捕、狩獵和放牧為生。薩米人吃魚和馴鹿,不吃小麥,脫離挪威社區生活,這讓他們在一三四九年的鼠疫中,死亡率遠低於挪威人。在卑爾根爆發的鼠疫,經藏身於運送小麥,黑麥,或羊毛木桶內的鼠疫跳蚤傳播。跳蚤甚至可在木桶內繁殖。近看馴鹿角,看似纖瘦而強力。眼前所見的白鹿,溫馴地伴在薩米人身旁。難怪中國人稱馴鹿為「馴服的鹿」。薩米人的語言屬烏拉爾語系,是唯一被保護土著人民國際公約承認的斯堪的納維亞半島上的土著人。薩米人祖先的土地覆蓋面積約三十八萬八千三百五十平方公里,與瑞典國面積相若。薩米人經歷了辛痛的歷史,現在過�和平的生活。北歐國家一些地區,只薩米人享有放牧馴鹿的特權。終於到達北角。三百零七米的北角高原,與浩瀚的北冰洋幾乎成垂直九十度,令人驚嘆。我們到了歐洲大陸的最北端了。航行的時間,我大多坐在廊上,看挪威海岸的美景,像電影畫面,一幅幅投影在窗格上。海達路德輪駛過別稱「窄道之聲」的Stokksundet,建自一二五○年挪威最北端的石教堂Trondenes, 最古的燈塔Kjeungskjar,航道上許多風景,永不重複。希爾科內斯是海達路德輪的北部轉折點,船到了這裡折返卑爾根。我們向同行七天的遊伴道別,特別是來自英國的珍妮和格雷厄姆,我們在同一餐桌用膳。格雷厄姆說,他從未想過「貨輪」上的郵輪假期是怎麼樣的,但海達路德是美妙的旅程。二○一二年,Hurtigruten海達路德被旅遊網站評為「全球最美麗的航程」。風和日麗,風平浪靜,原始風光,自然景致,北極光和新朋友──我們的北極之旅祝福滿溢。希爾克內斯是挪威境內最接近俄羅斯的邊境小鎮。希爾克內斯獨特的地理位置,是我們計劃花兩天時間遊覽的原因。Thomas Hjellestad托馬斯是我們入住的希爾科內斯Thon Hotel總經理。他跟我們兩個來自「遠方」的住客講他三年前剛從卑爾根到希爾克內斯的經驗。「由於希爾科內斯的戰略地位,自冷戰時期,這小鎮一直駐有重兵,是挪威的軍事重地。我初到這兒,也有點緊張。」托馬斯說。托馬斯很快就輕鬆投入這最好的地方,最好的工作。希爾科內斯的氣候得天獨厚,他管理一座美麗的海濱酒店,六十巴仙的住客是郵輪乘客。Pasvikelva河有幾千年的歷史文化,我們乘小船沿河來到聖特里豐洞口St. Trifon's cave,導遊給我們講述十六世紀的俄羅斯隱士僧、Pechenga修道院創始人聖特里豐,在山洞裡過�苦行生活。聖特里豐後來成為俄羅斯海員和漁民的守護神。到了邊境,我們看到著名的邊境標示杆──黃色的挪威邊境標示杆和紅╱綠色相間的俄羅斯邊境標示杆。越境會招致嚴苛的罰款,每個導遊都把英國女士越線拍照被重罰的案子告訴遊客,作為警惕。Ronny Ostrem羅尼在希爾科內斯經營唯一的冰雪酒店。他是我們「帝王蟹野生體驗之旅」的導遊。「帝王蟹野生體驗之旅」讓我們領略漁夫捕蟹作業。我們幫忙從海中拉起捕蟹的巨籠,然後漁夫把我們載到附近的漁民餐廳,把螃蟹煮熟,飽餐一頓。我們跟羅尼分享三隻帝王蟹,真是人間極品。羅尼說,這是野生螃蟹。這種甲殼類動物可以有兩米多長,重量達到十五公斤。幾年前,有俄羅斯商人試圖養殖帝王蟹,沒成功。一批被倒進挪威水域的帝王蟹生長和繁殖起來。從此,挪威水域內也有俄羅斯帝王蟹。從希爾科內斯乘短程飛機到了挪威首都奧斯陸,在Thon Hotel機場酒店見到另一位非常年輕的酒店總經理安雅Anja,竟是希爾科內斯托馬斯的未婚妻!若不是對邊境小鎮希爾科內斯情有獨鍾,我們會選擇全程十二天的海達路德航程,細看挪威歷史悠久的城鎮,如新藝術小鎮奧勒松Alesund,維京人奧拉夫國王九九七年建的特里格瓦松Tryggvason,北郡首府博德Bod�和挪威北部最大的城市特羅姆瑟Troms�。旅程結束,回家的路漫長。我預訂了YOTEL。當我們抵達倫敦蓋特威克機場,舒適的房間正待,才真是完完全全的一次完美旅程。(下)儲存

New DSS report criticizes NEON
Source: The Hour, Norwalk, Conn.儲存倉Nov. 07--NORWALK -- On the day that Norwalk Economic Opportunity Now (NEON) acting CEO/President Chiquita Stephenson agreed to take an unpaid leave of absence, the state Department of Social Services released a critical assessment of the agency, stemming from a two-day, on-site inspection that the DSS conducted in mid-October.The DSS, which has labeled NEON an "agency in crisis," conducted a monitoring and review of NEON on Oct. 15 and 17 and found numerous financial, file-keeping and governance deficiencies, according to documents published Wednesday."The contractual deliverables are clear as they relate to the department's expectations for service delivery, and NEON's internal program oversight must improve," the report, titled "Summary of Monitoring Review Conducted on October 15, 2013 and October 17, 2013" states. "Based upon the review of the Board of Committee meetings, the department has concerns about the ability of NEON's board to fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities."The report reveals that the DSS issued emergency funds so that NEON could cover its payroll and taxes for the pay period ending Sept. 27, and the DSS questioned why funding was needed for employees "whose salaries had been covered by the payment issued by the department in the July-September 2013 quarter in at least four DSS contracts.""The request for additional payroll funds strongly suggests that the contracted dollars did not go for their intended purpose because of other outstanding expenditures," the report states.The DSS expressed concern that NEON would be unable to pay off its $2.5 million debt without a solid plan of action. NEON had promised DSS that it would ask the Office of Policy and Management to have its debts forgiven and adv迷你倉最平sed the DSS that it "has an aggressive fundraising plan" and that it will "streamline its expenditures and operate within its means.""The department is concerned that these activities are unlikely to occur in the immediate future and that fiscal projections provided by NEON indicate negative spending through the end of the fiscal year," the report states.The report also takes swipes at the NEON board, criticizing it for having only 11 members when Connecticut State Statutes mandate that an agency of NEON's size have a board with at least 15 members. The DSS also took issue with the fact that the members of NEON's board who are Stamford residents outnumber the board members who are Norwalk residents. The DSS also advised the board that it needs to "improve its performance oversight.""The department believes that the board members are committed to the agency, but the department is seriously concerned that the board's overall inexperience and lack of training is leading it to fall short of fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities."In nearly every one of NEON's DSS-funded programs, the state agency found file documentation inconsistencies and in at least two of the programs, the DSS found that the income verification was incomplete or incorrect in many case files."NEON does not have a comprehensive case management policy that guides documentation of client services in client files," the report states. "As a result, inconsistent service is provided. In fact, when the department staff spoke to one of the case managers, she stated that she provides employment services only and does not refer to other programs."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Hour (Norwalk, Conn.)

馬來西亞
(吉隆坡7日訊)陸路交通局新電腦系統(my-SIKAP)操作不穩定,儲存打亂二手車商買賣工作,連累新車交易;泛馬汽車銀業聯合總會提出5大訴求,包括同時操作舊系統,以解決新系統出現遲緩和癱瘓問題,方便民眾處理車輛事務。其它訴求,包括實施“電子永久割名系統(e Auto Sistem Tukar Milik Kekal)”、停止賣車需取消路稅的措施、延長“買賣及轉名表格”的使用期限至明年12月31日,以及保有路稅加快買家取車速度。泛馬汽車銀業聯合總會會長拿督許綜文在新聞發佈會上表示,自陸交局實行新電腦系統後,二手車商及消費者在買賣車輛時就面對許多問題,包括經常因當局系統故障等狀況而浪費許多時間,不僅無法為民眾帶來方便,甚至還拖慢了交易程序。“我們也發現大部份交通局官員,尚不清楚新系統的操作方法,以致在處理事務時非常緩慢。”取消路稅保險拖長程序此外,他說,當局實行賣車取消路稅及保險的措施,也拖長了購車程序,造成消費者必須多次往返交通局處理手續,以致部份買家因此取消購車,且新系統也不接受車主在取消路稅前先取消保險,以使用“無索償折扣(NCB)”購買新車。他認為,一旦二手車買賣出現問題,新車交易也將受到影響,非正式統計顯示,國內有80%車主是在賣出舊車後,才購買新車,因此,若舊車作業面對問題,新車也會受影響。大馬目前的車貸高達1千480億,是整個銀行體系中第二大的貸款,帶動了整個金融業發展,因此,一旦二手車及新車業務面對問題,銀行的貸款作業也會受到牽連。他說,該會支持當局實施新系統,杜絕欺詐交易、提防身份盜用等,但在新系統穩定前,當局也應該同步使用舊系統,以mini storage決因新系統癱瘓造成的問題。出席者包括森美蘭汽車銀業公會會長鄭先獲、民政黨公共投訴局主任劉開強、隆雪汽車暨銀業公會會長邱家仁、柔佛州汽車銀業公會會長陳奕錦、馬六甲車商公會副會長朱來秋及葉兄弟汽車集團董事經理拿督葉金興。各州屬會不滿當局沒講解新系統引混亂另一方面,各州屬的汽車銀業公會主席也不滿當局在實施新系統前,沒有到各州舉辦解說及對話會,向公眾及二手車商解釋新系統的操作程序,以致民眾對新系統感到混亂,更無法對新系統表示支持。他們也說,新系統取消了原有的宣誓手續及代辦交易程序,強制買賣雙方必須親自到交通局辦理指紋認證,並領取mySikap帳號(ID)才能夠辦理割名及各種手續,但有關帳號有效期僅7天,車商還必須在期限內到電腦驗車中心進行驗車、到銀行付清款項,然後再等候銀行將“電子取消擁有權”電郵到交通局。他們強調,7天的期限,在扣除週末或週休後僅剩5天,車商根本難以完成整個買賣手續;一旦超出期限,指紋認證就會失效,雙方又必須重新到交通局辦理指紋認證。“若雙方在這期間改變主意不願再去辦理認證手續,交易就算作廢,造成車商蒙受損失。”另外,他們說,由於買賣雙方都必須前往交通局辦理手續,而全馬的交通局只有區區幾間,當所有人都湧往該局辦理手續時,不僅增加柜台人員的工作量,也會導致公眾必須長時間苦候,費時費神。14日與副交長對話呈訴求劉開強表示,他與泛馬汽車銀業聯合總會將在本月14日下午與交通部副部長進行對話,並提呈該5項訴求,希望能獲得該部的討論及接納,讓二手車商及民眾能有個明確的方向。他也促請有關當局待做足準備後,才推動新系統及網上割名系統,以達到雙贏的局面。;self storage

For Navy's Ken Niumatalolo, playing Hawaii different than other games
Source: The Baltimore SunNov.儲存倉 08--If Navy's game last week at Notre Dame was about the history of one of college football's longest series, Saturday's home game against Hawaii is about the heart. Specifically, it is about Ken Niumatalolo's heart.Hawaii is more than just another opponent for the Navy football coach. It is where he went to college to play football after being a star quarterback on Honolulu's North Shore, where he met his future wife, and where he started his family and his coaching career. Some of those memories are bound to return Saturday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium."It's going to be weird seeing them across on the other side of the field," Niumatalolo said this week.As was the case in 2009, when the Midshipmen lost to the Rainbow Warriors, 24-17, at Aloha Stadium, sentiment quickly will be replaced by stark reality for Navy (4-4) and Hawaii (0-8)."We're trying to win a game, just like they are," Niumatalolo said.With Navy coming off a down-to-the-wire 38-34 defeat in South Bend, Ind., quarterback Keenan Reynolds said it's hard to tell that either Niumatalolo or offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper, who also played and coached at Hawaii, has any sort of emotional attachment to Hawaii."Every week is an intense week as far as preparation is concerned," the sophomore said. "They both coach us hard, and I really don't see a difference. They both let us just know we've got to go play and give these guys the respect they deserve and get ready."Niumatalolo concedes that it is different this week because of his friendship with many of the Hawaii coaches, including head coach Norm Chow, and his familiarity with many of the Rainbow Warriors. Hawaii's winless season doesn't change Niumatalolo's opinion."Their coaches are as good as any coaches in the country. They've had opportunities [to win] in a lot of games, a play here or there -- it's just a matter of breaking through," he said. "I know a lot of their players -- I played with their fathers. They're tough, hard-nosed kids. We better be ready to go."Recruited to play in a pro-style Hawaii offense, Niumatalolo spent much of his college career as a backup after Georgia Southern's Paul Johnson was hired as offensive coordinator in his junior year to run something called the triple-option.Bob Wagner, who was the defensive coordinator when Niumatalolo arrived and finished his first season as head coach a few months before Niumatalolo graduated in 1989, said recently of the Navy coach: "If he ever complained or had a problem, I never heard about it. He was just a team guy, a solid person."Wagner, who moved to Annapolis a couple of years ago with his wife to live closer to their daughter, a Washington resident, said Johnson's arrival at Hawaii was not good for Niumatalolo's playing career. But it has ultimately been beneficial to his coaching career."Being exposed to a very good offensive system, especially as a quarterback, nobody understands that offense better than a quarterback," Wagner said.Said Niumatalolo: "In 1986, we had some pretty good players on offense, but we weren't really an explosive offense. When [Johnson] came in, we averaged 30-something points a game. It made me realize that there's something special about this offense."When graduation loomed the following year, Niumatalolo recalled being uncertain about how he was going to support his wife, Barbara, and their baby daughter, Alexcia. Niumatalolo thought about becoming a sportscaster."I didn't know what I wanted to do," said Niumatalolo, who on Saturday can tie Johnson with his 45th victory at Navy, third on the school's all-time list behind George Welsh (55) and Eddie Erdelatz (50). "I was a backup quarterback wondering what I was going to do when I got done playing."At Johnson's urging, Niumatalolo was hired as a graduate assistant and later as a full-time assistant by Wagner. Niumatalolo encouraged another Hawaii quarterback, Navy's Jasper, to follow him into the coaching ranks.Niumatal迷你倉最平lo wasn't sure how things were going to work out."My wife gave me a two-year limit," Niumatalolo said with a smile. "She said, 'OK, you can try this dream for two years, and if it doesn't work, you have to get a real job.' I was very fortunate after that."Niumatalolo is respected back in Hawaii for what he has done since coming to what is called "the mainland." Bobby Curran, a radio host for Honolulu's ESPN affiliate and play-by-play voice on the team's broadcasts, said this week that he had Niumatalolo on his show Wednesday when the subject of what the 48-year-old coach has accomplished came up."He got so emotional, he couldn't talk, he started to choke up," Curran said. "Kenny is still very much like the guy he was here. Everybody always loved Kenny because he's so human. You would almost say his personality doesn't fit the football prototype."Niumatalolo's name has come up for the job at Hawaii, most recently when Greg McMackin was pushed out after the 2011 season. At the time, Niumatalolo was coming off his only losing season (5-7) after having averaged nine wins a season his first three years.Wagner is not sure that Niumatalolo has been "pigeonholed" as a triple-option coach, as Johnson is now at Georgia Tech. Wagner also thinks Niumatalolo might have one of the best jobs in the country."I think, as smart as we all think he is, he's well compensated and he's at a great institution," Wagner said. "You always have to be successful everywhere, never say never, but I think it would have to take something incredible for him to leave. I don't know if that's going to happen."don.markus@baltsun.comHAWAII (0-8) @ NAVY (4-4)When: Saturday 3:30 p.m.Site: Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, AnnapolisTV: CBS Sports NetworkRadio: 1090 AM, 1430 AMSeries: Hawaii leads 2-0Last meeting: Hawaii won, 24-17, on Nov. 28, 2009, in HonoluluLine: Navy by 17Navy offense vs. Hawaii defense: The Midshipmen were nearly flawless on offense in last week's 38-34 loss at Notre Dame, rushing for 331 yards and not committing either a penalty or a turnover. Navy will likely do more of the same against the Rainbow Warriors, who give up an average of more than 174 rushing yards against Western Athletic Conference teams that mostly like to throw. The Midshipmen got a combined 162 yards from fullbacks Chris Swain (85) and Quinton Singleton (77) last Saturday. Sophomore quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who ran for three touchdowns and threw for another against the Fighting Irish, could also exploit Hawaii -- which ranks near the bottom in the Football Bowl Subdivision (over 299 yards a game, 117th in the country) in pass defense -- with some play action, as he did in hitting Matt Aiken for a touchdown against Notre Dame. Hawaii gives up nearly 37 points per game.Navy defense vs. Hawaii offense: As well as the offense played against the Irish, the defense was a bit overmatched by Notre Dame's size and speed. Navy surrendered 506 yards overall and 9 yards per play -- the most by the Fighting Irish since 1999. The Rainbow Warriors are not Notre Dame, but senior quarterback Sean Schroeder leads the nation's 22nd-ranked passing offense. Schroeder has thrown for nearly 1,700 yards and 14 touchdowns, though his pass completion rate is a modest 52 percent, and he has been picked off 11 times. The Midshipmen are a bit banged up on defense, and lost nose guard Bernie Sarra with an ankle injury last week at Notre Dame. Travis Bridges, who defensive coordinator Buddy Green had used in tandem with Sarra to give the undersized Midshipmen some bulk against bigger teams, also limped off for awhile but should play against Hawaii. Freshman cornerback Brendon Clements, who had his second interception of the season last week, will be tested again. Hawaii averages just under 22 points per game, so it shouldn't be that hard of a test.-- Don MarkusCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Baltimore Sun Visit The Baltimore Sun at .baltimoresun.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

【林錫淵╱高雄報導】公營行庫開戶真難!有民眾最近到公營金融機構開戶,迷你倉遭行員以「戶籍不在本地」拒絕,行員還很理直氣壯地向開戶民眾說:「這是財政部的規定。」用意是避免個人帳戶遭詐騙集團利用。民眾抱怨,金融機構好像把所有人都當詐騙集團,「很不便民。」 一名戶籍設在高市左營區的黃姓市民(34歲),工作地點在旗山區,今年7月到彰化商業銀行旗山分行開戶,行員以黃男戶籍不在旗山區拒絕,要他回戶籍地開戶。黃男抱怨:「我在旗山工作,沒空回戶籍地。」行員回說:「這是財政部金管會銀行局的規定。」黃男氣急大罵:「以後有錢也不存彰銀。」 帶雙證件也不能辦 另位馬姓民眾戶籍設在高市鳳山,實際住在大寮區,三個多月前到大寮區高雄銀行開戶,行員一開始也以戶籍地不合,要他回鳳山分行開戶。馬男不悅據理力爭,與行員僵持十多分鐘,才終於成功開戶。 馬男向《蘋果》抱怨:「不能因為詐騙集團橫行,就把所有開戶民眾都當成轉賣帳戶的詐欺幫兇。」此外,還有一名林姓男子帶著剛上大學的女兒(18歲)到郵局臨櫃開戶,父女均帶有身分證等雙證件,卻因未帶戶口名簿遭拒而無法辦文件倉。 台灣銀行高雄分行一名行員指出,近年詐騙集團橫行,為防止詐騙集團成員四處開戶,或誘騙不知情民眾開戶當作人頭帳戶騙錢,金管會銀行局要求各銀行嚴審開戶資格,民眾才會覺得現在開戶比以往嚴格許多。 可提工作證明開戶 高雄銀行及郵局表示,按規定新開戶者須回戶籍所在地開戶,若因工作關係無法返回戶籍地,提出工作證明也可開戶;要是無法舉證,銀行當然不會讓民眾開戶,主要還是怕被詐騙集團利用,不得不嚴格把關。 政府回應 財政部金管會銀行局副局長邱淑貞表示,依「銀行對疑似不法或顯屬異常交易之存款帳戶管理辦法」規定,銀行受理客戶開立存款帳戶,應索取雙重身分證明文件查核、確認身分,「但並未限制僅能在戶籍地開戶。」民眾若因工作、就學、或其他原因有開戶需求,提出合理說明,銀行即可受理開戶。對於上述民眾遭拒絕開戶,邱淑貞認為,可能是基層行員曲解法令規定,或溝通不良,民眾申辦時詳細說明原由,應可順利開戶。 人民辛苦納稅,偏偏政府不是拿錢不做事,就是不該管的事管太多,限制人民的創意,阻礙社會進步。《蘋果》推出「政府管太多」系列,幫大家出氣。存倉

斬斷垃圾短信背後的利益鏈條
新華社記者趙仁偉史競男垃圾短信治理了多年,迷你倉卻陷入治而不絕、越治越亂的怪圈,究其原因,是垃圾短信背後的利益鏈條難以打破。垃圾短信洶湧泛濫,有人專門搜羅個人手機號碼,並販賣給各類商家;有人專門提供銷售用于發送短信的電話卡;有專業公司替人群發短信,收取代理費;有商家、中介專門製作廣告類垃圾短信。當然,少不了從中坐收漁利的電信運營商。這條利益鏈條上,最核心的顯然是電信運營商。“要想從此過,留下買路錢。”發一條信息,就收一份錢。一些運營商除了收取信息發送費,甚至與商家勾結參與利潤分成,哪管賺的這錢是黑是白,哪管垃圾短信讓公�不堪其擾。這些年來,有關政府職能部門和移動、聯通、電信三大運營商發動過多次垃圾短信治理行動,但往往都成了一陣風。關鍵就是垃圾短信利益鏈難以撼動,最大的阻力,無疑是運營商難以“割自己的肉”。一些運營商擺出一副很冤枉文件倉樣子,說什麼“攔截技術跟不上”“實在沒有好辦法”,這些說辭,估計連他們自己都不信。作為運營商,應該承擔基本的社會責任。首先,不能明知故犯,暗地里和一些商家勾結,大發黑心財。同時,要主動研製新技術、採取新手段,從發送、傳輸等環節全面封堵垃圾短信。關鍵就看想不想真做。當然,僅僅指望運營商自律顯然是不夠的,還必須高懸法律之劍。當前,針對 垃圾短信的法律法規顯然很不完善。除了利用短信進行欺騙、敲詐、推銷違禁品等明顯違法犯罪由公安部門介入外,對大量廣告類垃圾短信的界定、處罰,對運營商的法律責任,對個人信息的保護,都還存在諸多法律空白,公�處於投訴無門、忍氣吞聲的尷尬境地。根除垃圾短信泛濫,要靠運營商嚴格自律,同時,要建立健全相關的法律法規,做到有法可依、執法必嚴,形成相關監管部門齊抓共管、持之以�的治理局面。(新華社北京11月7日電)存倉

Nikon Df 單反復古先鋒 全片幅新作
近年相機界興起玩Retro,迷你倉最平復古作比比皆是,老牌大廠Nikon亦終於出手,宣布推出旗下最輕巧全片幅數碼單反Df。新機刻意走懷舊路�,採用仿FM系機械機身設計,能夠兼容非Ai機械F接環老鏡頭,加上融合傳統手動菲林機操作方式,讓資深影友重拾Good Old Days。文、圖:不仔查詢:Nikon/2907 1122結合兩代精髓據廠方解釋,Nikon Df的「f」,是指相機將精密機械操控,與旗艦單反D4高畫質的「Fusion」融合。Df用上風格強烈的仿古設計,機身大小跟其他全片幅數碼單反相若,外形與造工卻承襲自同廠經典單反Nikon F、FM2與F3等機身,尤其是銀襯黑款式,具有濃厚金屬質感,機頂亦具備手動快門與感光度等設定轉盤,古典味濃郁。除了外觀走懷舊路�,Nikon Df在鏡頭支援上亦全面兼容舊世代。與其他全片幅數碼單反不同,此機的F接環特別加上獨有的Ai Tab測光耦合桿,既能讓相機安全裝上舊式非Ai鏡頭,避免損壞機身,用家也可經相機介面登錄最多九組非Ai鏡頭資訊,並透過機身傳輸準確光圈與測光參數輔助拍攝。Df同時支援傳統機械快門�,菲林相機用家更易上手。極限高感光攝影作為純粹攝影導向產品,Nikon Df未有加入影片錄製等額外功能,亦不設現時流行的數碼濾鏡特效,但仍可找到HDR高動態對比拍攝、原生TIFF無壓縮圖像檔輸出等功能,並支援ISO 204,800極高感光度拍攝。基本規迷你倉方面,Df集合了同廠D4的1,600萬像全片幅CMOS,以及D610所採用的39點對焦連9點十字AF模組,配備3.2吋92萬像素熒幕與大型0.7×放大光學觀景器,可作每秒5.5張相片連拍。單從數字上看,Nikon Df的710g機身比想像中略重,但實際拿上手卻發覺其實剛好,皆因機身保留一定高度,讓手柄位足夠男士們四指緊握,配合同期推出的50mm F1.8特別版鏡頭,重量平衡性極佳。操控方面,由於機頂左右均配備功能轉盤,而P/A/S/M Mode Dial、前後轉輪及快門鍵位置均與一般數碼單反不同,可能需要花點時間熟習操作。短評 發布會現場未能插卡試拍,但官方網站已上載了Df的範例相片(.nikon.com.hk)。廠方透露此機將於本月底開賣,估計淨機身售價約$22,000,以中高階全片幅機身而言未算太貴,愛玩老鏡頭的影友值得考慮。Df像素:1,600萬全片幅CMOS鏡頭:Nikon F接環 熒幕:3.2吋92萬像LCD觀景器:眼平五稜鏡(100%視野、0.7×放大)快門:1/4,000至30秒、支援B快門感光度:ISO 100-12,800、可擴充至ISO 50-204,800影片:N/A 儲存媒體:SD/SDHC/SDXC體積/重量:143.5×110×66.5mm/710g 售價:待定註:所有產品價錢僅作參考,以商戶最新公布為準。測試結果,只限於本版所示產品。儲存
