High School Football: Hub City Bowl brings high stakes
Source: American News, Aberdeen, S.迷你倉出租D.Sept. 06--Not that any Aberdeen Roncalli vs. Groton football game needs more hype, but tonight's annual contest comes with additional fanfare.The Northeast Conference football game at 5 p.m. at Swisher Field is part of the annual Hub City Bowl. The American News Game of the Week also mark's Roncalli's Homecoming, and it is the Cavaliers' first chance this fall to take the field as the top-rated Class 11B team in the state."I'm pretty sure there's a lot of teams at this particular point that think that they could probably be in there," said Roncalli coach Terry Dosch of the newly claimed top spot. "To my knowledge, that ranking and a buck will get a can of Coke."Facing a solid squad is nothing knew for Groton. Last week, the Tigers played Parkston, the third-rated team in 11B this week."We knew playing Parkston and Aberdeen this week, those are two of the better teams in 11B," said Groton coach Shaun Wanner. "You can't push the panic button. That's just going to make us a little bit better for the next six games."Roncalli struck quickly in its win over Redfield-Doland last week. The Cavaliers used a variety of big plays to offset less yardage and time of possession."We want to be able to run the ball better and control it a little bit more," Dosch noted. "We played a lot of defense. We just need to execute a little bit better and I think that will come."While Dosch said there was room for improvement on defense, he was pleased that his squad forced five turnovers last week."We just have to be aggressive and get to the ball and make things happen," he said.Groton features an experienced team, and while the Tigers failed to score to last week, Wanner saw plenty of reason for optimism."I thought for 2 1/2 quarters last week we played pretty good," Wanner pointed out. "They just kind of wore us down a little bit."Groton quarterback Parker Rossow threw for nearly 1,000 yards last season, but Wanner is looking for a balanced attack."We need to run the ball a little bit better," Wanner said. "That's one of my main concerns right now, because I know we can throw it."Wanner's biggest concern at the moment is Roncalli's big-play ability."They have some of the best skill kids in 11B," Wanner said. "That's what scares me a little bit, because I know they have a lot of different weapons at their skill positions. Every time they snap it, they can go the distance, whether throwing it or running it."Dosch knows that with the new number-one ranking, homecoming and Groton coming to town there will be plenty of commotion surrounding the game."You can't get too caught up in the all of the hurrah around who you're playing," Dosch cautioned. "Our jobs as coaches are to stay focused on the task at hand."Game notes: Roncalli defeated Groton last year in Groton during a thrilling season opener for both squads. Roncalli scored on the final play of the contest and added the PAT to pull out a 14-13 victory . . . Ronc迷你倉lli plays host to Flandreau at 7 p.m. next Friday . . .

Federal prohibition of medical marijuana continues to handcuff now-legal industry in Maine
Source: Bangor Daily News, MaineSept.self storage 06--PORTLAND, Maine -- Blueberries. Potatoes. Marijuana.These are three of Maine's top agricultural stalwarts."I would imagine it's one of the state's largest cash crops," said Becky DeKeuster, executive clinical director of the Wellness Connection of Maine, far and away the state's largest distributor of medical marijuana.That may be where the similarities drop off.Despite the fact that medical marijuana dispensaries were legalized in Maine in 2009, Wellness Connection officials say their business continues to be nagged by the federal prohibition of pot. And that's without the spectre of federal prosecution, as U.S. Justice Department officials have followed a hands-off approach to enforcement in states that have decriminalized the drug locally.Most insurance plans, using federal guidelines, won't cover medical marijuana use. Distributors cannot apply for federal nonprofit status. Science laboratories are reluctant to do research on the drug because most are funded by federal grants. Patients can be legally denied jobs. The list of underreported byproducts of the clash between state and U.S. marijuana laws goes on and on, said Wellness Connection Chief Operating Officer Patricia Rosi.That's on top of the lingering stigma that Rosi said continues to follow and embarrass medical marijuana users.It's a very different business landscape than exists for blueberry and potato growers.But unlike Maine's iconic blueberries, cannabis is being credited with -- as one patient said -- "giving people their lives back."Ruthann Carkhuff, 44, said she was diagnosed in 1996 with fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease, conditions that sapped her of the ability to lift her limbs. Before starting to use medical marijuana about 21 months ago, Carkhuff couldn't hold her infant grandson."I couldn't even brush my hair, which we so often take for granted," she recalled. "Putting socks on or getting dressed was extremely difficult."She'd tried "pretty much every single painkiller" available -- including OxyContin -- and finally found relief at Wellness Connection. Carkhuff said she takes "between two and four puffs in the afternoon" and the effects last through the evening."That's it. I don't do it to a point where, excuse my phrasing, I'm high or stoned, which is what most people think," she said."There's still a lot of misconceptions that need to be debunked about medical marijuana and what a medical marijuana patient looks like," Rosi said.The value of the cropDeKeuster said there are no official or widely accepted numbers on the value of Maine's medical marijuana crop. Wellness Connection is the largest distributor, operating four of the state's eight total dispensaries -- in Thomaston, Brewer, Portland and Hallowell -- and has about 3,000 of the state's 4,500-plus dispensary patients.Distributors are allowed under state law to have six marijuana plants per patient. A commonly referenced law enforcement estimate is that each marijuana plant is worth approximately $3,000. So, based on simplistic math, if all of the state's distributors grow their maximum number of plants, Maine's medical marijuana crop is worth about $81 million.DeKeuster said Wellness Connection is growing "well below" its six-plant-per-patient maximum. But adding the patients who grow their own medical marijuana outside the dispensary system, which has been quietly allowed in Maine since 1999, brings the number of users up to a reported estimate of 13,000 Mainers.If each patient, combining dispensary members with those who grow their own, is represented by even just two plants, that would put the value of the statewide crop at $78 million.For comparison, Maine's wild blueberry harvest has been worth between $70 million and $80 million annually in recent years.An annual state Department of Health and Human Services report released late last month found that the Maine Medical Use of Marijuana Program took in $612,370 in fees in 2012, $146,342 more than it spent to regulate the nascent industry.A report by the Colorado-based publication Medical Marijuana Business Daily estimates that the medical marijuana industry will gross about $1.5 billion in sales nationwide this year, growing to about $6 billion per year by 2018.Efforts to legalize the recreational use of marijuana statewide in Maine, as has been done in Washington and Colorado, fell flat in the Legislature this year. Portland residents, however, will get a chance on Nov. 5 to vote on an ordinance change that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of the drug in Maine's largest city.Getting establishedAs the biggest and most recognizable entity in the field, Wellness Connection of Maine has become in some ways the face of the state's medical marijuana industry.And along the way, that face has gotten some black eyes.Wellness Connection is still in the process of fighting a National Labor Relations Board complaint filed by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which alleges the company "unlawfully retaliated" against employees for trying to organize a labor union.Wellness Connection, which expects to employ 50 people by the end of the year, has countered that it offers its workers good pay and benefits, and that employees hoping to unionize represent a minority.Rosi said the organization's average employee is paid 43 percent more than the minimum wage, receives 100 percent health care coverage and is offered a 401K plan with a company match."They've filed a complaint with the NLRB that we're working on and going through that process," Rosi said. "If the majority of workers want to unionize, then they can unionize. But I haven't seen a majority interest in unionizing."Before the emergence of the labor dispute, the organization was the subject of a high-profile investigation by the state Department of Health and Human Services in late March after word leaked it had been using pesticides at迷你倉its Auburn indoor growing facility.Rosi said Wellness Connection admitted to using several safe, organic pesticides such as sesame oil and canola oil, and were cited by state investigators because rules on the books at the time did not allow for any topical pesticides.Since then, she said, the organization has begun using tiny parasitic wasps to battle back crop-eating aphids, and an emergency bill was passed by the Legislature to allow the use of "minimum risk" pesticide applications like many of those Wellness Connection was previously scolded for."Initially, the regulations said you couldn't use anything on cannabis and if you're growing tomatoes or anything else, you need some way to control pests," DeKeuster said. As a result of the dispute over Wellness Connection's practices, "Maine was one of the first -- if not the first -- in the country to clarify what it is we can use on cannabis."In a statement provided to the Bangor Daily News on Thursday by DHHS spokesman John Martins, the department's Division of Licensing and Regulatory Services reported that "Wellness Connection has addressed all of our concerns to our satisfaction and has been cooperative with the division.""Their program is compliant with the Maine Medical Marijuana Program rules and as such, they are fully licensed," the department statement said.The struggle over pesticides reveals a number of ways in which the federal prohibition on medical marijuana continues to plague Maine distributors even though the practice is legalized at the state level.State regulations allow a farmer growing corn to use any number of topical pesticides on the market that list corn crops as one of their federally approved applications, for example. But because marijuana isn't recognized as legal by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the entities that primarily regulate pesticides, cannabis is never listed as an approved crop.So while Mainers may commonly be eating fruits and vegetables that were grown using pesticides, medical marijuana has fallen outside the purview of the makers and regulators of pesticides, leaving almost all of them off-limits.The federal prohibition is impactful in another way on the pesticides front as well: It scares away many scientists who could otherwise prove that certain organic applications are safe."We couldn't even spray lemon juice on the leaves of a 6-inch-tall plant," DeKeuster recalled."There have been no clinical trials on what happens when lemon juice is inhaled," Rosi added. "A lot of laboratories are funded by federal grants, and they refuse to work on our crops because they're worried about losing federal grant funding."Medical marijuana patientsFrom the patient side, the federal prohibition of medical marijuana presents different challenges, but the U.S. government isn't the only one giving disapproving looks."When people think of marijuana dispensaries, they think of small, dark, gloomy places where people are all wearing tie-dye," Rosi said. "We're exactly the opposite."In one of the first media interviews allowed by Wellness Connection inside its Portland dispensary, located off Congress Street behind Local 188 restaurant, Rosi and DeKeuster sat in an open, brightly lit space with lime green walls decorated with images of birch trees.A few couches, tables and brochure racks represented the only furnishings in an environment more clean and illuminated than many of the city's popular coffee shops.DeKeuster said the organization's average patient is a male in his mid-50s."We see a lot of folks dealing with cancer, we see a lot of folks dealing with chronic pain," she said."Contractors, fishermen, lobstermen," Rosi added.But one patient, Colleen Jones-Turner, 52, said she expects that one of her doctors may drop her when her name appears in print for a story about medical marijuana."It isn't easy to be a medical marijuana patient," said Jones-Turner, who was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child. "For years, I had doctors who would say, 'We want you on medical marijuana,' but none of them would prescribe it because they were scared of getting a reputation."Fellow patient Carkhuff, battling fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease, said her mother still struggles to accept her choice of medical treatment. The worst of it, Carkhuff said, has been explaining her condition and medicine to employers."I was denied two positions and they did explain to me it was because of the medical cannabis," she said. "I was glad they were honest, but they said, 'We'd rather have someone with a clean urine test and someone we know.'"DeKeuster said based on the latest legal precedents, employers can fire or refuse to hire someone for testing positive for marijuana even when that person is legally using the drug medicinally."Somebody out in their car rolling a joint reflects on all of us, but that's not representative of who we are [in the medical marijuana field]," DeKeuster said.Additionally, insurance plans don't cover medical marijuana because of its status as a federally outlawed substance, she said."We do have a low-income program for folks on MaineCare or other programs, because we do realize that some patients are having to decide between medicine and food or rent," DeKeuster said.But the lack of insurance help remains another federal hurdle in the fledgling state industry, Rosi said."This is really an emerging industry. When was the last time an underground industry went above-ground? There was alcohol prohibition [in 1933] and then this," Rosi said. "So much of what we're up against is fear. Doctors fear something. The patients fear other things, neighbors and community members fear something. Employers have fear and employees have fear. How do you remove fear?"Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Bangor Daily News (Bangor, Maine) Visit the Bangor Daily News (Bangor, Maine) at .bangordailynews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services文件倉

旅遊地產現“分紅”新潮三亞灣紅樹林、金融街巽寮灣等項目宣佈向業主分紅
三亞灣紅樹林推出的股權式酒店分紅模式正受到業界關注。資料圖片8月29日,self storage三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店經營有限公司發佈公告,三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店首個經營年度實現贏利,將向業主預分紅,每個標準客房預分紅11700元。而金融街惠州巽寮灣公寓項目近日也宣佈,將向業主分紅111萬元。近期旅遊地產中出現的這種新型金融模式,引發業內廣泛關注。投資度假一舉多得三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店在去年9月開業之時,便推出“股權式”旅遊度假地產新模式。即每個紅樹林度假世界都有部分客房具備可用于出售、轉讓或抵押的獨立產權,業主購買紅樹林度假世界產權酒店客房的同時,需與紅樹林國際酒店管理公司簽署委托管理協議,每年有30天的免費居住權,且可選擇全國任意紅樹林交換入住,其餘時間都由紅樹林國際酒店管理公司統一對外作為五星級酒店客房經營,年底根據酒店贏利情況享受利潤分紅。實現“一房在手,全國度假,年年分紅”。根據三亞灣紅樹林度假世界的運營簡報,該酒店去年9月開業,去年12月營業額達1700萬元,三個月即實現贏利,每個標準客房每月預分紅達300元;今年1月-12月,每個標準客房每月預分紅900元。首個經營年度標準預分紅額為11700元。而從房價來看,去年9月三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店一期售價約為2.2萬元/平米,目前房價已漲至3萬元/平米左右。今典集團董事長張寶全表示,紅樹林度假世界股權式酒店模式,有效規避了在旅遊度假區投資傳統住宅物業長期閑置的尷迷你倉,以經營性物業為本職,為投資者創造持續性的投資回報,也令土地價值增值。分紅考驗開發商的經營能力實際上,三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店年初預計有3萬元的分紅預期,然而受海南旅遊市場上半年萎縮18%-20%的影響,預期分紅降為11700元。不過,張寶全表示,一般來說,中國酒店業50%是虧損的,贏利的只有10%-20%,其他的僅持平。而三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店沒有近海的優勢,卻能在開業3個月就實現贏利,主要是依托強大的商業配套和開發商的運營能力。據瞭解,三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店配套豐富,且均為今典集團自持,如藝術匯、今日美術館、娛樂吧、陶藝吧、畫廊,打破了傳統酒店以會議會展等商務用途為主的模式,而是針對中國人的度假習慣,打造集度假、藝術、時尚、娛樂、商業、會議會展為一體的綜合體。張寶全表示,與不少旅遊地產在賣房時承諾固定回報模式不同的是,三亞灣紅樹林度假酒店是建立在經營的基礎之上,通過運營來體現項目的價值,並實現項目的保值增值。■ 延伸分紅模式或引領旅遊地產新潮流無獨有偶,金融街惠州巽寮灣公寓項目近日也宣佈,由於2012年經營狀況良好,將向業主分紅111萬元,每套房業主分紅最高每位達5000元,最低可獲1400元。中經聯盟秘書長陳雲峰表示,股權式酒店分紅模式正受到業界關注,這也預示著旅遊地產從粗放地賣房向更重視經營轉變。投資者在選擇項目時,要看開發商的品牌、運營能力,同時也要關注項目的投資回報率。新京報記者 袁曉瀾文件倉

美褐皮書稱經濟溫和至適度增長市場預測本月退出QE可能性增加
見習記者蔡蔚雅北京時間9月5日凌晨2︰00,迷你倉新蒲崗美聯儲如期公佈了全國經濟形勢調查報告(俗稱“褐皮書”)。該報告總結了7月初至8月底美國12個地區的經濟調查狀況。報告顯示,在汽車和住房消費支出的帶領下,美國多數地區的經濟在過去兩個月中保持“溫和至適度”增長。其中8個地區呈現溫和增長,3個地區為適度增長,芝加哥地區經濟活動有所改善。從整體來看,調查結果非常正面,表明美國各地區聯儲對經濟形勢看法普遍樂觀,極大地增強了市場對美聯儲將于9月份開始縮減QE的預期。“褐皮書”指出,在接受調查的大部分地區中,消費支出普遍增長;波士頓、堪薩斯和達拉斯等部分地區的消費者開支受返校季購物大幅提振,其餘地區則呈現溫和增長態勢。消費支出的增加主要反映了與汽車和住房相關的商品需求強勁;旅遊及相關產業的活動在大部分地區呈擴大趨勢;非金融業務,包括運輸和技能服務的需求略有增加。此外,市場對農產品和自然資源產品需求強勁,預期需求還將進 一步增長。報告顯示,汽車銷量及與住房相關商品消費均呈現顯著增長。其中,美國住宅市場活動狀況在多數地區聯儲轄區以適當速度增長,非住宅地產需求在總體上也有所上升。對此,美聯儲解釋稱,由於近期市場房價和抵押貸款利率同時走高,使得此前猶豫不決的購房者也果斷出手,極大地推動了住宅房地產市場。“褐皮書”還稱,美國7月和8月製造業活動呈溫和擴張。汽車、住房和基礎建設的相關材料需求表現強勁。的確,盡管前段時間公佈的經濟數據喜憂參半,也曾有分析師一度擔心美國經濟遭遇冷空氣,有可能延緩複蘇步伐。但作為經濟先行指標的製造業採購經理人指數(PMI)近期再創高點,則表明美國經濟複蘇尚未停止,其部分數據的短暫疲軟不會阻礙整體經濟複蘇的趨勢。本周二公佈的美國8月份ISM 製造業PMI指數超預期增長升至55.7,為2011年6月份以來最高水平,再一次強化了美國經濟將在下半年加速增長的觀點。盡管前段時間美國經濟複蘇緩慢,但鑒於市場預計美國經濟增長和失業率回落的趨勢不會改變,美迷你倉出租縮將在9月份開始縮減QE的預期再度升溫。此次“褐皮書”也指出,最近兩個月多數行業和職業的招聘持穩或小幅增長。美國物價上行壓力依然疲弱,但在報告期間內價格略有上升。工資壓力仍不大,總體而言是適度的。有分析師指出,美國消費支出持續增長,房地產、汽車行業的好轉在一定程度上為就業提供了機會。從上月勞工部公佈的數據來看,美國7月份就業人數增加了16.2萬人,失業率也從6月份的7.6%下滑至7.4%。雖然8月份的失業率還未公佈,但“褐皮書”顯示的就業持穩增長或將暗示8月份失業率很可能會維持或繼續下滑。市場人士認為,如果晚些時候公佈的8月份非農就業數據符合預期,美聯儲很可能會開始縮減QE計劃。德意志銀行也曾在其分析報告中指出,如果美國8月份非農新增就業崗位超過19萬個,且失業率降至7.3%,則他們預期美聯儲將會開始削減量化寬鬆規模。有專家指出,由於“褐皮書”是美聯儲根據所屬12家地區聯儲對經濟形勢摸底後彙編而成的,是對美國近期整體經濟狀況的最好闡釋。該報告的各項內容均顯示美國經濟、就業都將持續向好,“褐皮書”作為美聯儲9月份貨幣政策決策例會的重要參考資料,不得不令市場猜測,美聯儲很可能以此份報告為標準採取放緩QE的行動。而此次“褐皮書”的發佈時間距美聯儲9月17日的貨幣政策會議僅十幾天,報告中的利好數據很可能會促使美聯儲作出縮減購債規模的決定。此外,近期公佈的歐、英、日、中等幾大經濟體的製造業PMI數據整體改善也預示著全球經濟複蘇的大潮即將到來。盡管諸如印尼、印度等部分新興經濟體數據仍顯悲觀,但最新統計數據顯示,今年8月份全球製造業PMI大力反彈0.9個百分點至51.7,已達到2011年6月份以來最大的漲幅。全球製造業的好轉將拉動整體經濟加速回暖,也有助于美國提振本國經濟複蘇的步伐。這就意味著在全球經濟複蘇的大趨勢下,美聯儲此前擔憂的“國內經濟明顯惡化”狀況不太可能出現,那麼美聯儲按照伯南克6月份發出的政策指引從本月開始縮減QE的可能性就極大地增加了。迷你倉

俗話說“讀萬卷書,迷你倉行萬里路”,如今象牙塔里的學生們在書海遨遊之餘也不忘背上行囊,嚮往心中夢想的遠方。近日,記者在鄭州的幾所高校里隨機調查了20名大學生,調查數據顯示,每名同學都很喜歡旅遊,80%的同學一年旅遊2~3 次,其中40%的同學每年旅遊在3次以上。顯然,旅遊已成為大學里一門不計學分的“必修課”。【消費】“窮”游很開心大二學生劉月告訴記者:“我很喜歡旅遊,特別嚮往有海的地方,但是憧憬歸憧憬,經濟基礎還是重中之重。”據調查,旅遊費用是同學們外出旅遊考慮的主要因素,很多同學都認為阻礙出游最大的問題是資金不足,而65%的同學表示旅遊花費一般在100元~300元之間。來自鄭州某大學的大四學生張同學說:“我覺得大學期間出去旅遊還是要節儉 一些,不能拿著父母的錢去享受、去揮霍。旅遊時,儘量選擇相對便宜的出行方式,玩的時候只要盡興就ok了。”張同學的室友李同學也這樣認為,他說:“還是理性消費吧,畢竟大學生還沒有穩定的收入,也沒有實現經濟獨立。旅遊雖不可或缺,但是旅途中的消費可以適當控制下,玩得高興就行了,沒有必要花很多錢去冒充高富帥。”而來自新鄉的杜宇則認為,旅遊中的花費並不是重點,能從中有所收穫才是出游的真諦。“大學期間經常旅遊挺好,真的可以增長很多見識,哪怕是就近轉轉也好。”旅遊是否會買紀念品?大部分同學表示不會購買。大四學生周娜說:“紀念品一類的東西我很少買,因為我覺得現在的旅遊紀念品大同小異,缺少地方特色。”據瞭解,大部分同學的旅遊費用是從生活費中節省出來的,他們在旅遊中的購買力比較弱,所以,大學生往往選擇最劃算的旅遊路線和方案,只要開心就好。【目的】開心完成每次旅行在調查中,75%的同學選擇自由行,只有15%的同學願意跟團出游。而50%的同學傾向于水鄉古鎮、海濱城市,25%的同學喜歡自然風光。在採訪中,大多數同學表示,出游前會通過網絡搜索線路並獲取旅遊信息。大四學生劉陽說:“麗江一直是我想去的地方,在這個暑期里,終於實現了我的麗江之行,我最大的收穫是旅行中難忘的經歷,只要心中有夢就要努力去實現。”在大學期間,劉陽共旅行了6次,其中讓她印象深刻的便是這次麗江之行,每次旅行前她都會仔細研究線路、預訂酒店,並以玩得舒心為目標。鄭州某高校大二學生張鑫說,上大一時,他和寢室的幾個室友出去旅遊過幾次,大多是在省內,並且每次都是說走就走。“我們喜歡自己設計線路,感覺這樣可以增加同學們的友情,不要求出行的條件多好,只要玩得盡興就足矣。”在旅遊時間安排上,65%的同學表示會在法定假日或是寒暑假期間出去遊玩,而一小部分同學選擇會不定期地出去旅遊。鄭州某高校大三的余同學接受採訪時表示,他可是騎行發燒友,“去年暑假我和幾個朋友,騎自行車歷時一個月完成了西藏之旅。去年寒假,我又和幾個同學騎行到海南。因為我覺得只有在暑寒假才可以實現我的長線騎行計劃。”而大三學生周同學表示他不太喜歡去著名景點或者名勝古跡,“我被未知的神秘感所吸引,嚮往人跡罕至的地方。我有個小夢想就是用自駕或騎行的方式去一次西藏或者塔克拉瑪幹沙漠,去那自存倉尋找未知的東西。”【計劃】完成心中的旅遊夢記者游走在大學校園里,遇到了好多前來報到的大學新生。來自開封的劉同學說:“雖然開封離鄭州很近,但是我平時因為學習緊張所以很少來鄭州,現在來這 里上學了,我計劃在大學一年級的時候儘量把鄭州周邊好玩的通通玩遍。”而來自吉林的郭同學說,“我和家人是前一天到的學校,報到後,我們第一時間就到鄭州街頭來碗燴面,因為我對一個地方的特色美食很感興趣,所以大學四年裡我要好好享受河南的美食。”來自重慶的王同學說,他在開學的前一星期就來到了鄭州,“在這一周的時間里,我去了少林寺、雲台山,還到洛陽玩了一圈。”王同學表示,已經給自己制定好了大學期間的出游計劃,“希望多和同學出去玩,比如爬山、郊遊,到游樂場玩等,我覺得這是和同學增進感情的很好方式。”已經大四的張同學告訴記者,她來自黑龍江,“我在河南上大學,我男朋友在天津上大學,在上大學前,我們相約每年出去旅遊兩次。今年大四了,我們準備去西藏,再不瘋狂就沒時間了。”【回味】大學時的旅遊趣事對於已經步入工作殿堂的上班族來說,沒有大學生說走就走的灑脫,但是大學時代的糗事、趣事在記憶里是永抹不去的。海歸高女士告訴記者,她上大學時,和同學制定的出游計劃就是哪兒近去哪兒,哪兒方便去哪兒。“歐盟簽証一次搞定後可以去很多個歐洲國家,所以我們就毫不猶豫地選擇了德國、法國、盧森堡、荷蘭和比利時。因為蘇格蘭、威爾士、北愛爾蘭、英格蘭都不要簽証,所以也都捎帶著游了個遍。”白領宗女士在談到大學時代的旅遊計劃時說:“我是在廣州上的大學,上了大學後,同學們都分散在大江南北,本想趁著假期去找同學玩兒,但是因為大學課程太緊張,就大二時去了一次離廣州比較近的深圳。”而白領王女士很灑脫地告訴記者,“我們那時都沒計劃,說走就走,經常性的前一天決定,第二天一早上就上火車出發了。”在被問到大學時出游的趣事時,王女士說:“我那時是在開封上大學,有次我和室友一起去洛陽看展覽,前一天才決定,第二天坐著火車就去了,由於當時玩得太盡興了,就耽誤了回開封的火車,最後沒辦法就先回到鄭州,等到第二天才趕到學校。”“還有次是我們寢室的四個姐妹,一人5元“翻牆費”跳進清明上河園窮游一天,沒有紀念品,沒有好吃的……現在真是懷念那時的無憂無慮。”高女士也講述了她在暢游歐洲時的一些趣事,她說,通過旅行,認識了好多興趣相投的朋友。“讓我記憶深刻的是在我們同行中,一個廣西女生和他的上海男朋友每天都要換不同款式的T恤給我們看,每天早餐時間上海男生都會問我們,你們看我今天的T恤漂亮嗎?結果我們就發現他每天穿的都是大紅心的T恤,只是顏色在變化而已,所以我們就叫他愛心T恤男,哈哈……”在出游的同時安全也是很重要的,宗女士提醒說:我覺得大學時出去旅行挺好,但應該注意自己的人身安全。“我記得兩三年前,為了圖便宜,一些大學生自己組團出去遊玩,當時因為下雨有位學生被困在山里,為了救他們的那個警察當時還 犧牲了,通過這件事情我想提醒大學生們,在出去遊玩的時候儘量不要去那些不正規的地方,一定要注意人身安全。”(據大河報)迷你倉新蒲崗

新西蘭華人:龍獅大會迎中秋
袁 博 王 龍《 人民日報海外版 》( 2013年09月06日 第 12 版)為迎接傳統中秋佳節,迷你倉價錢弘揚中華文化,新西蘭華人社團組織的“新西蘭首屆華人龍獅大會”日前在基督城舉行。當地華僑華人及外國友人共200余人到場觀看了精彩演出。中國駐新西蘭克萊斯特徹奇總領事館副總領事李昕出席龍獅大會並致辭。他指出,舞龍舞獅蘊含了中華最獨特的傳統文化,寄托了民�消災除害、求吉納福的美好意願。他希望此次活動可以進一步增進中新兩國人民的文化交流,提高當地華僑華人的凝聚力。龍獅大會包括市區遊行表演、晚會和技藝切磋等多個環節。市區表演在基督城地震重建後的市中心進行。在南半球初春的陽光下,鑼鼓喧天,龍騰獅舞,威風凜凜的彩獅開道,多條十幾米的長龍緊隨其後,騰空飛轉,浩氣沖天,展示了中華民族和海外華僑華人奮發自強的精神面貌。龍騰獅舞的精彩演出吸引了大批遊客駐足觀看、合影留念。一位當地遊客發出嘖嘖的驚嘆:“演出實在是太精彩了。中國文化里龍的形象與西方的很不一樣,感覺很美,很威風。”當他得知中國的龍代表了吉祥、尊貴和勇猛後,興奮地直接加入了遊行的隊伍。隨後的晚會更是精彩紛呈。“雙龍戲珠”、“醉獅”、“梅花樁覓食”等節目令觀�大開眼界。栩栩如生的雄獅做出撲迷你倉跌、翻、滾、跳躍、眨眼、搔癢等動作,引來陣陣掌聲。由惠靈頓龍獅團帶來的國際比賽大獎作品“夜光龍”以其奇妙的設計、默契的配合將整個演出推向高潮。一位久居新西蘭的老華僑說,他已經很久沒有看到這麼地道的傳統演出了,看到意氣風發的舞龍舞獅,作為中國人他感到自豪。本屆龍獅大會由新西蘭僑藝醒獅團主辦,表演團由來自奧克蘭、惠靈頓、克萊斯特徹奇和但尼丁的4支龍獅團隊共30余人組成。其中最小的只有6歲,最大的已年過花甲。他們中有來自中國、新加坡、馬來西亞等國的第一代華僑,也有當地出生的第二代、第三代華僑。同為龍之傳人的血脈,將他們團結在一起。舞龍舞獅在新西蘭華僑華人中具有良好的基礎和傳統,主要城市和較大的華人聚集區都有民間組織,定期訓練和表演。主辦方僑藝醒獅團成立于1996年,致力于舞龍舞獅的培訓、交流和演出。近20年裡,他們將舞龍舞獅由早期的祈福活動,演變成集表演、武術、健身和慶祝為一體的藝術形式,並得到了新西蘭政府少數民族文化基金的資助,為弘揚中華文化做出了貢獻。負責人喬治說:“我們海外華人希望把中華文化展示給世界,把中華傳統代代延續。舞龍舞獅在新西蘭得到了華僑華人的大力支持,很多年輕人加入訓練和表演,在活動中強身健體,感受中華傳統文化。”儲存
