古蹟五桂樓 成霧峰熱門觀光景點
【本報記者黃永順霧峰報導】座落於霧峰明台高中校園內歷史悠久的古蹟「五桂樓」,自存倉在清朝接待過梁啟超因而聲名大噪,早期櫟社的詩人也常在此吟詩作對,寫下無數優美的詩文,而在歷史上添加一段佳話。目前是無數的中、外遊客最嚮往參觀古蹟景點。 無獨有偶的是2010年大陸北京也在台灣街仿建一座五桂樓,唯妙唯肖,後來於該樓設置「林獻堂抗日事蹟陳列館」。顯見二岸共同正視悠久的歷史文化,並增進兩岸的交流與合作。 五桂樓為霧峰林家在一八九三年為傚法春秋時期老萊子綵衣娛親的孝行,因此建迷你倉新蒲崗萊園,並與台南吳園、新竹北郭園、板橋林本源邸園合稱台灣四大名園。於五桂樓對面是一座「飛觴醉月亭」演戲的戲台,古色古香,相互輝映,為台灣著名的歷史古蹟之一。 五桂樓真蹟在九二一地震時倒塌,只剩下斷坦殘壁,後來由林家後裔計畫斥資二、三千萬元加以維修,聘請專家師傅仿真蹟興建,一磚一瓦皆其珍貴來之不易,落成啟用時,馬英九總統亦應邀前往剪綵,盛況熱烈。 整修完成後五桂樓,現做為林獻堂文物館,陳列相關史蹟,慕名而來的觀光客絡繹不絕,成為霧峰一座充滿文化義涵的古蹟熱門觀光景點。迷你倉出租

首度下滑 國旅人次跌6.7% 淡水八里仍是民眾最愛景點
【陳如嬌╱台北報導】根據觀光局最新調查,mini storage去年國內旅遊總計1.4億多人次,較前年衰退6.7%,創下2008年金融海嘯後,國旅人次首度下滑紀錄。至於國內旅遊民眾最愛到訪的據點,則由淡水八里拿下第一,高雄愛河、旗津及西子灣遊憩區第二。 觀光局昨說,去年除12歲以上國人的國旅人次減少外,民眾花費也縮水,根據推估,去年國旅平均每人每次花費1900元,較前年的2038元,縮減4.9%,總計去年全年國人在國旅上的花費為2699億元,更比前年的3103億元、減少13%,兩者均為2009年後首度出現衰退情況。反觀國人去年到國外旅遊則有1032萬多人次,較前一年成長6.8%。 前年大型活動多 觀光局副局長張聰錫昨分析,去年國旅人次衰退,主要是前年2011年適逢建國百年,各地方政府和中央部會都加碼辦活動,衝高了國旅人次,導致去年國旅人次和前年相比衰退,但若是和2010年相較,國旅人次還是有增加。彩虹國際self storage行社董事長陳俊良也說,前年有花博,單是一個花博活動就吸客近900萬人次,去年國旅人次衰退是因為前年大型活動特別多,並非受經濟景氣或國外旅遊排擠造成。 高雄愛河排第二 根據觀光局調查,去年國人最常到訪的觀光據點以新北巿淡水八里最熱門,高雄愛河、旗津及西子灣遊憩區排第二,南投日月潭居第三,第四名為宜蘭縣礁溪、第五名則是台中逢甲商圈。退休教師陳小姐說,國內旅遊環境越來越方便,不用自已開車也能四處趴趴走,每一季她都會安排2至3次的國內旅行。 「寧選國外旅遊」 上班族邱震宇說,台灣好玩的地方不少,但花費也很高,去一趟3天2夜的墾丁之旅,交通加住宿萬元跑不掉,和到香港的費用相去不遠,所以他還是會以國外旅遊為首選。 去年國旅最熱門據點排名 No.1 新北巿淡水八里No.2 高雄巿愛河、旗津及西子灣遊憩區No.3 南投縣日月潭No.4 宜蘭縣礁溪No.5 台中巿逢甲商圈資料來源:觀光局迷你倉

郵票主題反映中朝友好 寶石畫作體現時代特徵朝鮮紀念品店,中國元素多
本報駐朝鮮特派記者 程維丹圖片說明:朝鮮紀念品商店有很多中國元素的圖書、郵票。朝鮮,存倉一個在外人眼中神秘又神奇的國度,每年吸引著來自世界各國的諸多遊客前來一探究竟。為服務遊客,朝鮮各大旅遊景點、國際性飯店都自帶有專門的紀念品商店,首都平壤也有一些較大規模的店鋪單獨開設在比較繁華的道路旁邊。一踏入紀念品商店的大門,各式各樣、五顏六色的陳列商品琳琅滿目,高麗人參、朝鮮蜂蜜、民族服飾以及各種手工藝品給遠道而來的外國遊客留下深刻的印象。“中國元素”隨處可見據統計,2012年共有來自50多個國家和地區的遊客到訪朝鮮,其中,中國遊客數量一直有增無減。因此,在朝鮮各大紀念品商店里,漢語幾乎已成為通用語種,負責銷售的朝鮮姑娘們大多都能夠使用漢語向中國遊客推銷紀念品,而每一件商品也都配有中文介紹其名稱、價格、功用和使用方法等事項。中朝兩國人民世代交好,朝鮮公開發售的紀念郵票便有很多展示了有關中國的內容。在朝鮮,想要尋找一組毛澤東、周恩來等中國老一輩領導人的紀念封非常容易,“抗美援朝保家衛國”的主題郵票也隨處可見。更令人意想不到的是,中國首位航天員楊利偉勝利完成太空飛行、北京榮獲2008年奧運會主辦權,甚至中國著名畫家徐悲鴻的國畫作品《九方皋》等題材也都變成了一方小小的郵票。這樣的情景,恐怕在世界上的其他任何國度都難以找到。據瞭解,在專門的郵票商店里,以“中朝友好”為主題製作的郵票紀念冊受到中國遊客的追捧,常常有人一次性購買多套帶回國饋贈親友。“春香”牌化妝品受青睞在平壤使館區工作的朝鮮姑娘曾告訴記者,“春香”牌化妝品是每一個朝鮮姑娘都渴望擁有的,是朝鮮最好的化妝品品牌。朝鮮盛產人參,高麗參有多種滋補效能,富含鉀、鈣、鎂等多種礦物質、維生素和氨基酸。“春香”牌化妝品正是以世界聞名的開城高麗參為主原料製作而成,能使皮膚滋潤、水嫩,對防止皮膚老化、促進細胞再生有特效。這個品牌在朝鮮國內的大�認可度很高,就連平壤街頭的靚麗風自存倉線——平壤女交警日常所使用的護膚用品,也是“春香”牌,由國家統一免費提供給她們。“春香”這個名字取自于“春天的香氣”,柔美的女性化名字迎合了女性消費者的心理。由於品牌的高知名度,在朝鮮的紀念品商店里,“春香”牌化妝品也受到很多外國遊客的青睞。商店的服務員向記者介紹,“春香”目前擁有爽膚水、乳液、美白營養液、雪花膏、晚霜和粉底霜等不同功能的多種產品,價格從幾美元至幾十美元不等。記者看到,有的爽膚水的瓶內還泡有一小根高麗參,一個小小的設計既宣傳了自己的產品,又讓外國遊客“買得放心”。朝鮮畫作體現日常生活除了國畫、油畫,朝鮮還獨創了一種用天然或人造寶石製作的畫。據介紹,現在在紀念品商店中銷售的畫作大多是朝鮮二級、一級畫家的作品,帶有“功勳藝術家”和“人民藝術家”勳位的畫家作品稀少。由於深受外國遊客歡迎,紀念品商店中朝鮮畫作的整體價格相比前幾年已增長了十幾倍甚至更多,一幅二級畫家寬度在80厘米左右的作品如今已經可以賣到幾百甚至上千美元。盡管價格不菲,還是有許多外國特別是中國遊客願意花大價錢在紀念品商店里買上一幅朝鮮畫帶回家,不為投資升值,只求留作紀念。“其實這是一種‘朝鮮情結’,”一位中國遊客告訴記者,“我喜歡反映朝鮮日常生活狀態題材的畫,小人物的工作和生活就是最真實的朝鮮。”鮮明的時代特徵,正是朝鮮畫作人氣居高不下的原因之一。朝鮮畫注重寫實,在�多國畫和油畫作品里,最受外國遊客歡迎的便是反映朝鮮社會現狀、描畫人民工作或生活場景的畫作。工人在工廠里閱讀勞動黨機關報《勞動新聞》、農民鼓足幹勁辛苦耕作在田間地頭、女性勞動者巾幗不讓鬚眉風采飛揚……《環球時報》記者發現,紀念品商店里的服務員大多是年輕漂亮的小姑娘,或身著華麗的朝鮮民族服飾,或穿著統一樣式的工作制服,面帶微笑站在商店門口迎接前來選購紀念品的遊客。記者的朝鮮朋友說,能夠在這樣的商店里當上服務員的朝鮮姑娘都是非常優秀的,不僅要五官端正、有氣質,綜合素質也相對較高。▲迷你倉新蒲崗

Online poll also finds Republic No.文件倉6 on list of places worldwide Chinese want to visitSINGAPORE is ahead of the game when it comes to wooing travellers from China, coming out tops among Asian countries in a recent survey.And it plans to stay there, with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and hotels finding new ways to attract the Chinese, who are the biggest spenders in world tourism.A Hotels.com poll of 3,000 residents from the world's most populous country found that 23 per cent wanted to visit Singapore within the next year. That placed it sixth after Australia (39 per cent), France, New Zealand, the United States and Switzerland.The second most popular Asian destination was Hong Kong with 21 per cent.The global online survey, conducted in May, also revealed that Chinese preferred sightseeing (75 per cent) most of all, followed by dining (65 per cent) and shopping (51 per cent).Hotels.com Asia-Pacific managing director Johan Svanstrom said the numbers explain Singapore's popularity. "Singapore is absolutely one of the better places in terms of sightseeing, dining and shopping. There's lots of choice, not just local food but truly international cuisine," he said, adding that the two gaming resorts and the use of Mandarin locally also helped boost numbers.And it helps that Singapore's visa application process is hassle-free, said STB regional director for Greater China Edward Chew.Jiangxi resident Wei Jun, 59, who is on her first visit to Singapore, said: "It's so clean here and I am not so adventurous with food, so I am happy there is Chinese food here. And when I get lost, I can ask people for directions. Everyone speaks Mandarin.存倉Visitors from China have consistently been Singapore's second-biggest group of tourists, after Indonesians. In 2009, nearly 940,000 Chinese visited Singapore, according to STB. This jumped to around 1,170,000 in 2010, then 1,578,000 in 2011. In the first nine months of last year, there were 1,515,000 China visitors - staying on track to beating 2011's record.According to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, Chinese travellers spent US$102 billion (S$130 billion) on international tourism last year - a 40 per cent jump from 2011 - overtaking Germany and the US as the world's biggest spenders.Global interest in the Chinese market underscores its potential.Tourism Australia doubled its marketing budget for China last year; the length of visitor visas for Chinese tourists to New Zealand has been extended; and Spain plans to attract one million Chinese tourists by 2020. STB also launched a new marketing campaign in 2011, called "New Discoveries", to engage the Chinese audience.Hotels are also gearing up.Since last year, cheongsam-clad staff at Orchard Hotel, where 10 per cent of guests are Chinese, have been serving arrival cocktails to VIP guests from China. Conrad Centennial offers Chinese television channels while the Ritz-Carlton plans to launch its own Weibo social-media page by the end of the year.Royal Plaza on Scotts will soon have a hotel directory and signs in Mandarin, and provide Chinese newspapers in rooms.Its general manager Patrick Fiat, who expects the number of Chinese guests to increase by at least 5 per cent annually for the next three years, said: "We want to make sure we capture this market."limjess@sph.com.sg自存倉

神奇的冰川
「冰川」這個詞在中學的地理課上就學過,迷你倉從那時起,我就對冰川充滿一種神秘感,經常在頭腦裡幻想冰川是什麼樣子,但幾十年來從未親臨過冰川,未能親眼見過它的真面貌。今夏來多倫多探望女兒一家,沒想到女兒早已訂好了去溫哥華的機票,要帶我們到洛磯山脈一帶去旅遊。我高興地打開地圖,尋找早已耳熟的洛磯山脈的地理位置,發現洛磯山脈地區有許多國家公園和省立公園,如班芙、傑士伯等國家公園都覆蓋�大面積的冰原和冰川,我頓時像小孩子一樣跳起來,這回我要登上冰川的夢想真的要實現了。我們在溫哥華登上旅遊車,第二天上午即進入班芙國家公園,遠遠看到公園的西北角有一片白色世界,導遊告訴大家,這就是洛磯山脈十七個冰川之一的哥倫比亞冰川,上面像高原的部分叫冰原,流下來的部分叫冰河或冰川。整個面積大約三百二十五平方公里,厚度一百至三百六十五米,每年降雪量約七米,成為洛磯山脈中的第一大冰原,也是地球上除了北極之外最大的冰川遺跡,成為世界自然遺產之一。該冰原和冰川形成於遠古時代,由於地處高原,靠近北極,年復一年被冰雪覆蓋,高海拔的低溫大於夏季的融雪量,於是形成冰原和冰川。不過,哥倫比亞冰川從一八四四年即開始消融,漸漸消融的冰雪匯成多條河流,向北流入北冰洋,向東流入大西洋,向南向西流入太平洋,所以該冰川也是幾大洋的大分水文件倉。我們看�這個巨大的冰體,盛夏的炎熱立即化為烏有,大家都在夏衣外面套上厚厚的冬裝,本來就怕冷的我則穿起羽絨服,戴上羽絨帽,跟隨大家從旅遊車上下來換乘轉運車,再換乘一座大輪胎的雪車,據說這種雪車一輛價值七十五萬美元,一個一人多高的大輪胎即價值五千美元。技術高超的司機駕�雪車從陡峭的山坡上向下緩緩開去,直至冰川腳下。大家下了車,女兒攙扶�我,女婿攙扶�我的丈夫,開始踏上冰川。這時已近中午,太陽直射,在凹凸不平的冰川上不時踩上水窪,不小心整個腳會陷入水窪中,冰面又滑,所以我們小心翼翼地前行。外孫女可不管這些,只見她拿�空水瓶,跟�一些年輕人,飛奔上冰原,去灌最純淨的冰水。我們看到冰川的邊緣上都有�長長的冰溝,裡面流淌�碧藍的清水,真想蹲下捧�喝一口。但導遊告誡大家,在冰川上可不能隨意亂跑,據說幾年前一位日本遊客出於好奇踏入冰溝中,結果陷下去再也沒有上來。所以我們趕緊將上到遠處冰原上的外孫女叫下來,這時她已灌滿了一瓶冰水。導遊說,隨�全球氣候變暖,冰川消融,這裡的淨水資源已變得格外珍貴。我們看到冰原和冰川的交界處中央高高地樹立�一面加拿大國旗,旗子上的紅色楓葉與這片白色世界交相輝映,紅白分明,顯得格外漂亮。大家紛紛在飄揚的楓葉旗下合影,我們全家也在這一特殊的美景中留下了永久的紀念。言青存倉

Bankruptcy plan ending sour Haslam investment
Source: The Knoxville News-Sentinel, Tenn.自存倉Aug. 21--One of Jimmy Haslam's legal headaches may be coming to an end.In 2000, Haslam, working through an entity called Rocky Top Investments, partnered with a businessman named Harold Rosbottom on a venture that aimed to develop several truck stops in Louisiana that included video gaming machines.In 2009, Rosbottom filed for bankruptcy protection, with the ownership entities behind the truck stops becoming part of the bankruptcy case.The case now is winding down, but not before Rosbottom was convicted last September of concealing nearly $2 million from creditors in the course of the bankruptcy and of a conspiracy to launder money in order to purchase a 65-foot boat and a half-interest in a private jet.He now is serving time at a federal correctional institution in North Carolina.Haslam was not implicated in the bankruptcy fraud case.Todd Ellis, an accountant for Haslam, said Haslam had become involved in the investment after Rosbottom approached him about being a passive investor in developing the truck stops that would not compete with Pilot stations.Haslam had met Rosbottom while doing business in Louisiana, said Tom Ingram, a spokesman for Haslam. "At the time Rosbottom was an active community person," Ingram said. "Married, three kids, and featured in Businessweek. Respected as an entrepreneur."The bankruptcy filing came in the midst of a bitter divorce battle, and Rosbottom's girlfriend also was convicted in 2012 on charges including conspiracy to commit bankruptcy fraud.Not all of the truck stops were developed, and Ellis said that only two are still operating, including one identified in Louisiana records as I-220 Travel Plaza & Casino LLC.Ingram said the facilities included gaming space that was leased to a different owner. He said Haslam has never had an ownership interest in gaming anywhere."It's machine gaming in a small fashion," Ingram said. "It's not a casino with multiple gaming opportunities that we think about normally when we see that word."In the wake of Rosbottom's bankruptcy, Haslam had to pay certain amounts to Regions Bank because of guarantees made in connection with the joint venture entities. Ingram declined to identify the amount of those payments, but said that "it迷你倉新蒲崗wasn't a lot."Ellis said the bank called those guarantees because Rosbottom's bankruptcy was an event of default. Ingram said the LLCs themselves were not bankrupt.The bankruptcy case appears to be nearing a conclusion. In May, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stephen Callaway signed an order confirming a reorganization plan in the case.That plan encompassed a settlement in which Rocky Top Investments would assign its interests in five of the LLCs to a new entity created by the trustee. A portion of that transaction must still be approved by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, which regulates gaming in Louisiana.Louis Phillips, an attorney for the bankruptcy trustee, said Haslam does not have an interest in the new entity.Ingram said Haslam's connection to the truck stop casinos created no issues with his ownership of the Cleveland Browns, which his family bought in 2012 for a price reported at more than $1 billion. Earlier the family owned part of the Pittsburgh Steelers."(The) NFL did a background check on Jimmy twice that would make your hair curl," Ingram said. "They knew about everything, including this, and they approved him knowing it."An NFL spokesman could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.Truck stop gaming had come up before in connection with the Haslam family. When Bill Haslam, the brother of Jimmy Haslam, ran for governor in 2010, his Republican primary opponent highlighted the fact that Pilot Travel Centers had video gaming machines at its locations in Louisiana, where such games are legal.At the time, Jimmy Haslam said Pilot simply leased space to another company that operated the video poker machines. Jimmy Haslam's wife, Dee Haslam, also was an officer in a company called FootTraffic Promotional Gaming LLC, according to an annual report filed in March.Dee Haslam said that company created promotional gaming machines aimed at drawing customers to merchants. Dee Haslam said FootTraffic hasn't been active in several years and was shut down in May. She said her father developed the business with a partner, and that she had nothing to do with it.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Knoxville News-Sentinel (Knoxville, Tenn.)

Wilson Legal Solutions Earns Top Spots On 2013 Inc. 500 List
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa.迷你倉, Aug. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson Legal Solutions, a professional software services firm, is pleased to announce its ranking on the Inc. 500 list of the 2013 fastest-growing private companies in America. With a three-year growth rate of 4,839%, the company has earned the following recognition:-- Number 62 on the overall 2013 Inc. 500 list -- Number 4 among the top 100 IT services companies -- Number 1 among the 100 fastest-growing Pennsylvania companies -- Number 1 among the fastest-growing companies in the Philadelphia metro areaWilson Legal Solutions, located in Newtown Square, Penn., was founded in 2009 by Bruce Wilson. Since then the company has grown to employ 30 people and achieved annual sales revenue of $5.5 million.This is the second company Wilson has led. In 1987 he founded Wilson Technology, a custom legal software provider. The company was acquired by Thomson Reuters Elite in 2005."Having built and sold a company previously was great preparation for starting up a new business," says Wilson, managing director and CEO. "In three years we've been able to reach the size and revenue of Wilson Technology when we sold it in 2005, and we'll exceed both in 2013."Wilson attributes Wilson Legal Solutions' success to sustaining the positive reputation of his previous company - as being honest, fair, and able to solve clients' problems. He also attributes it to seeing and seizing a business opportunity despite the risk."To be an entrepreneur, you have to have a certain tolerance for risk. Even though the market was unpredict文件倉ble in 2009, I wasn't afraid to go after it. I saw an opportunity to provide IT services to law firms that no longer had those resources in-house," Wilson explains.Wilson also believes that building the right team is essential. "I look for smart people who work well with clients - people who have a can-do attitude. And then I try to create a culture where people want to work," Wilson explains. "But you can't just circulate the same people. To use a baseball analogy, you have to build your farm team to have a successful run in the major league. So we hire those with long-term experience as well as talented people who are early in their careers."Looking ahead, Wilson Legal Solutions is poised for continued growth. "We still see a lot of opportunity in the market," Wilson adds. "So we'll continue to pursue aggressive growth by adding resources, increasing our international presence, and expanding our service offerings."To view Wilson Legal Solutions' profile on the 2013 Inc. 500 list, please see .inc.com/profile/wilson-legal-solutions.About Wilson Legal Solutions Wilson Legal Solutions helps law firms maximize the benefits of technology to reach new levels of operational efficiency and profitability. The company applies deep technical expertise, hands-on software experience, and best-practice insight to enable clients to leverage their investment in Thomson Reuters Elite practice management and business intelligence software.
