Vodafone begins upgrade despite profit slump
Source: Daily Mail, LondonNov.迷你倉 13--Vodafone yesterday embarked on a pounds sterling 7bn spending blitz despite falling profits and revenues across the group after 'very tough' trading.Using the windfall from the pounds sterling 84bn sale of its stake in the US group Verizon it will spend billions globally improving its networks and services. The investment drive, called Project Spring, comes on top of the pounds sterling 12bn it was planning to spend anyway.In total, Britain will receive more than pounds sterling 1bn of investment over two years ? pounds sterling 300m from Project Spring and pounds sterling 900m of investment that was already planned.This will be used to boost its High Street presence with more shops and improve its signal and network coverage.Vodafone, which has been criticised in the past for its tax affairs, also announced pounds sterling 17.7bn of tax losses, almost all of which come from its Luxembourg division and date back to its 2000 takeover of Germany's Mannesmann.'This has no impact at all on mini storageur tax situation in the UK,' a spokesman said. 'It does not change the amount of actual cash tax we pay anywhere in the world, either now or in the future.'But critics said it could persuade the company to shift money to Luxembourg, where tax rates can be lower than 1pc.'It now encourages them to relocate as much profit as they can into Luxembourg,' said tax accountant Richard Murphy.It came as results, both in the UK and across the group, fell sharply. Group operating profits fell 8.3pc to pounds sterling 5.7bn, while in the UK service revenue dropped 4.4pc on an underlying basis.Profits from Britain also slumped by 63pc to pounds sterling 47m after it took a pounds sterling 432m financial hit on the value of its networks. Shares climbed 3.9p to 231.25p.A large chunk of the investment will go to Europe, which has been the worst-performing area for the company.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Daily Mail (London, ) Visit the Daily Mail (London, ) at .dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

券商挺平保 正大押股影響微
【本報訊】中國平安(02318)股份被大股東泰國正大集團用作抵押融資,mini storage昨日股價跟隨大市下跌。券商認為,股東舉動對平保的基本因素並無影響,繼續給予買入評級。 昨日平保收報60.95元,下跌2.1%,跌幅雖較大市1.9%為多,但表現仍優於內險同業如中國人壽(02628)、中國財險(02328)等。高盛維持「買入」 看80.8元 高盛認為,早於去年底正大從�豐控股(00005)購入平保股權時,市場已談論其將股份抵押作融資的可能性;現在正大果然將之作為得到瑞銀融資的抵押品,市場難免憂慮倘其無力還貸,或對平保股權構成不明self storage因素。 但高盛強調,就目前而言,看不到平保的發展策略、管理、基本因素等,會因股份成為抵押品而有所轉變,故繼續維持「買入」評級及目標價80.8元不變。 美銀美林指出,正大為鑑於財務及未來業務發展始進行融資計劃,加上與平保有長期戰略合作夥伴關係,看不出正大有減持股份的理據。 該行續指,平保10月份保費收入按年增12.4%,勢頭穩健,隨�重組產品組合及增加經紀,帶動利潤增長,相信平保已步入正軌;即使銀保收入減少,但對新業務價值的貢獻小,影響將是微乎其微。 該行認為平保估值較同業吸引,維持「買入」評級,目標價72.29元。迷你倉

新興經濟體正面臨高度不確定性,儲存和嚴重的成長下滑風險,主因是美國聯準會(Fed)貨幣寬鬆政策可能逆轉,導致全球金融市場動盪,威脅新興經濟體成長。Fed已表明,只要失業率高於6.5%、通膨預期穩定,聯邦資金利率就會維持在接近零的水準。但Fed何時、及如何收緊貨幣政策則不明朗。可以肯定的是,Fed的決策不會考慮到對其他國家的溢出效應,而將任由受影響國家自行因應。美國收緊貨幣政策可能加劇全球信用短缺,增添亞洲經濟和金融系統的壓力。市場的過度反應和從眾行為可能引發資本流入逆轉,導致美元短缺,造成亞洲銀行和企業的緊張。這就是為什麼Fed只是暗示將減少購債,就引發新興市場貨幣和資產價格暴跌的原因。這也凸顯出亞洲經濟體須加強金融安全網。2008年全球金融危機暴露國際貨幣體系的根本缺陷:流動性不足,嚴重拖累亞洲新興經濟體。此後,這些新興國家採取措施穩定金融體系、加強金融監管,但因為高度依賴國際貿易和資本流動,它們仍易受美國金融外溢效應影響。此外,1997年亞洲金融危機以來,亞洲新興經濟體增加外匯準備,如今已逾全球總量的一半。世界十大外匯準備國,有七個在亞洲。但主要持有殖利率很低的短期美國公債,價格昂貴而且效益低落。亞洲經濟迷你倉積極推動貨幣交換。2008年以來,中國已簽署23項雙邊貨幣交換協議。東協十國,加上中國、日本、南韓,已共同建立2.400億美元的區域外匯準備。這種交換協議應有助亞洲國家因應Fed政策逆轉後的貨幣動盪,但因未經測試,且規模相對較小,可能難以安撫市場,或為危機國家提供足夠的緊急支援。Fed作為事實上的全球最後放款人,可透過和新興經濟體的央行建立貨幣交換機制,提高亞洲金融安全網的有效性。2008年,Fed曾與十個先進經濟體的央行建立貨幣交換機制,包括歐元區、英國、日本、瑞士,和四個新興經濟體(巴西、南韓、墨西哥、新加坡),但大部分在2010年底結束。重建Fed與新興經濟體的貨幣交換機制,將減少貨幣政策退場過程的負面溢出效應,也符合美國利益。畢竟新興經濟體的問題會動搖全球經濟,威脅美國在內的先進經濟體脆弱的復甦。包括經濟學家杜魯門(Edwin Truman)在內的專家,已提議建立全球貨幣交換機制,作為更積極有效的危機預防機制,20國集團(G20)應加以考慮。在此之前,Fed應採取主動,同時與先進經濟體和新興經濟體建立貨幣交換額度。(作者李鍾和是前亞洲開發銀行首席經濟學家、Project Syndicate專欄作家)self storage

“播撒”新觀念 收穫滿地金
信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/大英縣規劃建設中的藥材深加工區。大英縣規劃建設中的藥香小鎮。 大英縣高度重視現代農業發展,儲存積極探索發展生態農業、旅遊農業、創意農業新途徑,全力塑造“城在田中、田在城中、城景相融、產城相融”的城市發展新業態,有力促進了農業增效、農村繁榮、農民增收。去年,大英縣又與四川新農村建設開發基金會合作,以建設國內一流、國際領先水平的農業科技博覽及休閒體驗園區為目標,以現代農業為基礎,生態旅遊為主題,打造匯聚現代農業展示、農耕文化傳承、農業休閒體驗、精品花卉展示、餐飲會議接待和兒童游樂體驗等功能于一體的大英縣城市農博園,這是發展城市農業、打造現代農業樣板的有益嘗試,必將為大英乃至四川城市農業發展帶來寶貴經驗和示範效應。??四川省政協副主席、致公黨四川省委主委楊興平 農業園區差異化競爭,種藥材造“藥香小鎮”;新農村建設獨創“申建制”,農民成為新村建設的主體……近兩年來,遂寧市大英縣黨政一班人在農村廣闊天地間不斷“播撒”新觀念、新思想。春種一粒粟,秋收萬顆子。如今,這些新觀念、新思路正給群�化為金燦燦的收益,同時為大英乃至四川城市農業發展帶來寶貴經驗和示範效應。日前,記者走進大英現代農業園區和天保、河邊新農村建設示範點,尋找新觀念帶來的大變化。差異競爭現代農業園區繪藍圖 隆隆機聲划破大英縣隆盛鎮趙壩村田野的寂靜,大型挖機、推土機正忙得不亦樂乎,整理出來的一片田野伸向幾裡外的山腳下。“這是大英縣現代農業園區的‘隆盛鎮新建片’。”農業園管委會主任呂長華解釋道,這些田野原為一些零散的耕地和土丘,為了適應現代農業園的種植要求,大型機械正在按照國際GAP標準整理土地,目前已有3000畝土地整理完畢。 把土地整理出來幹什麼?田野上立著“中國大英國際中醫藥產業硅穀天丹中藥材種植基地”一排大字,說明這裡種植的作物並非蔬菜、水果。天丹中藥材種植基地負責人介紹,9月份,公司種下了白芷,一年後就可收穫、盈利。 趙壩新村還有一大亮點:趙壩新村安置綜合體??“藥香小鎮”。“藥香小鎮”打造以“中草藥文化”為主題的旅遊業,與園區實現產村相融,項目建成後將成為新農村“仿世界名鎮名村”的典範。“預計明年10月,小鎮將交付首批206戶安置房。”呂長華說。 呂長華還勾勒了未來的“藥香小鎮”的藍圖:統一的“新中式”建築風格,裡面有商舖、有藥材博物館,農戶可到園區種植藥材,可在家門口經營藥鋪,還可發展“中草藥文化游”。 對於建“藥香小鎮”動因,呂長華說,如果以種植常見的農產品為主,遂寧市內以及周邊農業園都會對自己形成很大的壓力,“我們園區種出的產品必須要有特色和難以複制的優點,進行差異化競爭,才能保證農戶長遠收益和保持園區長遠發展。”突出特色打造示範片升級版 在大英縣蓬萊鎮梓潼村、吊腳樓村,一眼望去,滿目的甜橙盡收眼底,清風徐徐,橙香陣陣。“這兒是園區的‘蓬樂路提升片’……園區包括‘隆盛鎮新建片’和‘蓬樂路提升片’,‘隆盛鎮新建片’以藥香著稱,而‘蓬樂路提升片’則以橙香見長。”大英縣農村工作辦公室副主任唐金聲介紹。 據悉,早在2009年,大英縣便開始引進從事水果種植、加工、銷售的公司,在蓬萊鎮梓潼村種植柑桔、臍橙、塔羅科血橙新系、北碚447錦橙、夏金臍橙等優質品種,現在已成為萬畝橙海。蓬萊鎮梓潼村、吊腳樓村,成為遂寧市級新農村示範片。而今,大英將蓬萊鎮梓潼村、吊腳樓村市級新農村示範片,納入園區的提升片,打造萬畝橙海“升級版”。 如何升級?大英方面的構想是:今年將甜橙基地面積擴大到2.5萬畝,並以該基地為依托,發展禮品西瓜、綠色蔬菜2萬畝。機制創新“申建制”火了新農村 騎龍寨村農迷你倉集中居住小區青山綠水,青瓦白牆,村民徜徉其間,悠哉悠哉。“我們通過‘申建制’搞的新村建設,自己申建的,建設有積極性,建好了我們當然沒有意見。”村民告訴記者。 大英縣農村工作辦公室副主任唐金聲說,以前的新村建設,是政府給項目、群�等項目,新村建設的主導、主體都是政府,結果政府好心好意、費力費事實施新村建設,而農民未必滿意,“這也難怪,以前新村建設都是政府來決策,有些農民住了一輩子的房子說改就要改,他們難免有情緒。” 今年5月,大英縣獨創了“競爭入圍、以獎代補”的新村推進工作機制(簡稱“申建制”)。“在新村建設中,改變政府獨斷意識,首先由建設意願高的農戶聯合提出申請,經鄉鎮政府核實初審後,報縣新村辦組織評審提出意見,經縣政府審批後實施。”唐金聲說,政府在新村建設中主要履行服務、指導、綜合協調職能,並根據新村建設規模、標準,組織籌集新建農房補助資金和基礎設施建設以獎代補資金,逐步建立起新村建設由“政府要我建”向“農戶我要建”轉變的工作推進機制,農民建設新村的積極性空前高漲。嶄露頭角大英農產品瀟灑走四方 觀念一新,滿地是金。7月底,在2013中國大英?城市農業發展學術交流大會上,四川省政協副主席、致公黨四川省委主委楊興平,對大英的現代農業發展讚不絕口。 農業發展如何,市場最有發言權。9月16日-19日,“莫斯科國際食品展覽會”在莫斯科舉行。大英縣海州醋業食品釀造有限責任公司應邀參加。該公司與莫斯科新太陽有限責任公司等兩家公司現場簽訂了金額分別為5000萬元(人民幣)的醬油、香醋、豆豉、榨菜等產品的供銷合同。還與其他3家公司達成了總額8000萬元的意向供銷協議。 在第十四屆西博會上,大英展區人來人往。大英縣參展的特色農產品吸引了�多的遊客。“我們兩天零售了500多件野雞蛋,帶來的貨都快賣完了。”10月24日,參加第十四屆西博會的大英縣鑫燕畜禽專業合作社理事長吳豔高興地說。這次西博會上,他們還和一家公司、一個養殖場分別達成了銷售1000件野雞蛋和10000只野雞苗的協議。 吳豔介紹,“鑫燕”牌野雞蛋新、奇、特、綠色、健康等特點吸引了消費者的關注。在銷售過程中,價格上的優惠和現場品嘗味道的做法也打動了消費者。在展銷過程中,野雞蛋的熱銷,使得很多有心的商家也前來咨詢相關的養殖技術,尋求加盟合作。 “開館不到兩小時,遊客就向我們索取產品推介資料2000多份。”展台前,大英縣農辦工作人員介紹,大英縣參展的白檸檬、海州醋、新生態鵝、康樂綠色雞蛋、文旦柚、友來友往牛肉、通仙青花椒等很受遊客青睞。 華西城市讀本記者 陳璐(圖由大英縣委宣傳部提供)小資料 大英現代農業園發展思路:用抓工業的理念抓農業、用發展旅遊的理念發展農村、用經營資本的理念激活要素,突出“產業促新村、新村帶產業、產村互動相融”,分層推進“核心示範區、特色產業區、輻射帶動區”,按照每年“規劃一片、新建一片、鞏固一片”的思路逐年拓展,持續推進現代農業園區建設,示範帶動全縣農業農村發展。 大英現代農業園目標定位:統籌抓好園區“規劃、產業、新村、基礎、配套”五個重點,努力把現代農業園區建設成為涉農資源要素的集中投放區,農村改革探索的試驗區,農業功能拓展、鄉村文化傳播的先行區,現代科技推廣的集中應用區和“三農”發展成效的集中展示區,農業招商引資的大平台。力爭通過三年努力,園區基本達到農業功能多樣化、要素配置集約化、技術推廣高新化、經營方式一體化、生態環境優美化、農村文明現代化的要求,把農業園區打造成為“中國丘區現代農業示範高地”,實現“一年基礎、兩年成型、三年見效”宏偉目標。到2015年,園區產值達到30億元,建成面積達到5萬畝以上,園區農民人均收入突破15000元。self storage

Area teachers win REB awards for research
Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch, Va.迷利倉Nov. 13--Richmond Interim Superintendent Jonathan Lewis was beating a drum for the REB Awards for Teaching Excellence Tuesday, a day after 32 area public school teachers won $174,250 in grants in the annual program.Not beating the drum literally, anymore, like he once did, but still with effusive praise."I know it's a wonderful opportunity for the teachers who won, but there's more to it than that," he said.Years ago, when he was superintendent in the city of Poquoson, Lewis met a Hanover teacher who won an REB Award and used his grant to study drum techniques in the south Pacific. That teacher then shared his lessons not only with his students but with educators from across the state."I think we all went out and bought drums for our elementary schools," Lewis said.And that, Lewis said, is the power of the 25-year-old program, which has awarded $2.7 million in grants to 664 public schools teachers in central Virginia."It's like tossing a stone in a pond," he said. "It ripples out,and you never know how far it will reach."This year's winners came from a pool 146 teachers, who were nominated by students, parents and professional colleagues because of their effectiveness in the classroom and their passion for teaching. Seventeen teachers won grants with which to pursue non-traditional academic projects and goals. Fifteen finalists won $750 unrestricted cash grants."We are incredibly proud of the talented staff we have in our school division and through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. (Rudy and Esther) Bunzl, teachers walk away with tangible evidence of that pride and support," said Hanover County Superintendent Jamelle S. Wilson."The awards are truly a win-win, not only for the recipients seeking ways to strengthen the quality of their craft as educators, but for the students who will benefit from their teachers' experiences."In Henrico, which like Hanover had four winners, there was also excitement."These teachers have distinguished themselves with their classroom performance," said Deputy Superintendent Patrick Kinlaw. "We're quite proud of the imagination and energy that they put into their lessons every day. Not only do they inspire the students in their classrooms, but their creative passion spreads throughout their schools as well."The winners include: Ryan Abbott, Cosby High, Chesterfield($12,000) to study European nationalism and culture by attending the annual Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism conference at the London School of Economics and through an immersive travel experience in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium.Susan Altieri, CoolSusan Altieri, Cool Spring Elementary, Hanover ($11,500) tocompare and contrast cultural elements such as art, language, customs, architecture, food and historical influences throughout a range of cities in Italy, Spain and Switzerland.Artice Appling, Manchester Middle, Chesterfield($9,500) totravel to New Zealand and Australia to investigate the use ofArtice Appling, Manchester Middle, Chesterfield ($9,500) to travel to New Zealand and Australia to investigate the use of technology as an integral part of teaching and learning, as well as explore historic and cultural sites.Helen Archer, Tucka- hoe Elementary, Henrico ($9,500) to take a children's literature tour of GreatHelen Archer, Tucka- hoe Elementary, Henrico ($9,500) to take a children's literature tour of Great Britain to visit the countryside, homes, parks and museums that inspired famous authors including Beatrix Potter, Roald Dahl, A.

Sub-4A notes: Old rivalries renewed in 3A playoff openers
Source: Valley Morning Star, Harlingen, TexasNov.迷你倉 13--There are two sub-4A bi-district matchups that are rematches of non-district games from earlier in the season.La Feria (6-4) will look to avenge a bitter Week One loss when it travels to Rio Grande City on Friday for a bi-district battle with Grulla (7-3). La Feria was up 14-0 at halftime of that one, but ended up losing 24-21.La Feria's secondary stuck to Grulla's receivers like glue, forcing Grulla quarterback Rey Penablanca into two interceptions on 5-of-14 passing. But in the end, Penalanca got the last laugh, as the dual-threat senior rushed for touchdowns of 19 and 38 yards in the Gators' second half comeback.Grulla's aggressive defense also played a major role, as it baited La Feria quarterback Eric Cuervo into a season-high three interceptions.Meanwhile in the Lower Valley, Raymondville (6-4) will meet No. 8 state-ranked Port Isabel (10-0) at Bobby Morrow Stadium in San Benito for a rematch of a weather-shortened Week Two win for the Tarpons. Port Isabel led 14-0 with four minutes left in the first half before a lightning sent both teams to the showers.It was a nasty, rainy day at Burnet Stadium, and Port Isabel embraced the elements in what was a dominating performance up to that point. The Tarpons had 186 total yards to Raymondville's 35 when the game was called.STARTING SOMETHING NEW: Santa Maria has never been a football town. For many years, the small 1A school, which is tucked away near the Rio Grande, had trouble getting enough kids to field a team.But things seem to be changing down in Cougar Town. Santa Maria (6-3) qualified for the playoffs for the second consecutive year. That's the first time the program has ever made back-to-back postseason trips.The next step is for the program is to get its first playoff win. First-year head coach Rolando Aguirre and his crew will get that chance on Friday when the Coogs take on Shiner at 7:30 p.m. at Calallen High School in Corpus Christi."I'm real happy with where we're at, and we're going to build on it," Aguirre said. "We'll self storageee what happens over there."Santa Maria's first trip to the playoffs (2008) ended swiftly with a 48-12 loss to Falls City in bi-district. Last year was much the same, as the Cougars were thumped by Three Rivers 68-6.This time Santa Maria gets the Comanches (6-3 overall, 3-1 in District 15-1A Division I), who made it all the way to the state semifinals last year and have won five of their last six games."That would mean a lot to me," running back Isai Garcia said about the possibility of bringing the school its first ever playoff win. "That would be amazing. I've been working hard to try and take this team far as far as possible. That would be history."ON TAPPS: Brownsville St. Joseph has as good a chance as its had in quite some time to advance past the first round of the playoffs.With a 24-21 win against San Antonio Central Catholic in their season finale, the Bloodhounds (6-4) secured a No. 3 seed. This means the Bloodhounds will play a neutral site game against a Houston school, rather then a true road game against a Dallas school, which would have happened had they lost to Central Catholic and gone in as the No. 4 seed."It's easier on our kids in terms of traveling," said head coach Christian Putegnat. "We don't have an 11 hour bus ride, followed by having to spend the night in a hotel and then another 11 hour bus ride after... Three hours is not too bad."The Bloodhounds will play Tomball Concordia Lutheran (5-5) Saturday at 2 p.m. in Beeville.This will be the first time St. Joseph's has gone in as a No. 3 seed since Putegnat took over five years ago. Putegnat, who's also an alum of St. Joseph, said he can't remember the last time they won a playoff game."It would be a huge step for the program (to win this game) because its been along time since we went to the second round," Putegnat said. "It would be a big testament to my coaching staff and my players."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Valley Morning Star (Harlingen, Texas) Visit Valley Morning Star (Harlingen, Texas) at .valleymorningstar.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷利倉

銀行業不良貸款“雙升”業界不緊張:經濟複蘇初期,在意料之中
晨報訊(記者 姜樊)中國經濟雖然在複蘇,迷你倉但經濟複蘇的紅利顯然還沒發到銀行業。昨日,銀監會發佈數據顯示,三季度,中國銀行業不僅淨利潤增速仍在下滑,不良貸款餘額和不良貸款率也出現“雙升”。數據顯示,我國商業銀行在前三季度實現淨利潤1.12萬億元,第三季度實現淨利潤3685億元,環比減少158億。第三季度末商業銀行不良貸款餘額5636億元,環比增加241億;不良貸款率為0.97%,環比增加0.01%。金融問題專家趙慶明向記者介紹,銀行業整體利潤下滑是在意料之中的。“去年開始的利率市場化進程仍在繼續,宏觀經濟放緩也在金融行業中得到映射,而銀行過去高利潤所依附的資產規模增長如今也在放緩,這都導致了銀行業淨利增長的減速。”銀監會數據顯示,三季度銀行業總資產約為147萬億元,較去年mini storage長18.45萬億元,同比增長14.35%,而去年同期的增長率高達19.67%。在興業銀行首席經濟學家魯政委看來,利率市場化進度持續推進,意味著銀行未來利潤也將逐步回歸正常,增速放緩將會成為一個常態。“這就要求監管者、投資者以及銀行自身都要回歸理性。”此外,對於不良貸款的“雙升”,業界似乎並不十分緊張。趙慶明介紹說,此前經濟放緩的系統性風險仍然存在,最近監管部門又加大化解產能過剩行業的問題。雖然經濟已經在複蘇,但尚處於經濟複蘇初期,不良貸款有所上升也是在意料之中的。“從數字看,三季度新增的不良貸款餘額中,屬於損失類的並不多,僅占13.3%,這比2000年時大部分都是損失類的不良貸款有很大的不同。”趙慶明認為,現存的不良貸款仍然整體可控,且未來的不良貸款不會出現大面積增加。儲存

Lynchburg City Council to be asked to create internal tourism department
Source: The News & Advance, Lynchburg, Va.自存倉Nov. 12--In the wake of the decision to sever the relationship between tourism and the Lynchburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, City Council will be asked to bless the creation of a new internal tourism department and advisory board.Mayor Michael Gillette said Monday both sides made a good-faith effort to reach an agreement but were unable to settle on the terms of a new tourism management contract.The chamber has had a contract to manage the local tourism program since 1993. Negotiations to renew the contract reached a stalemate this year over financial terms.The city wanted more flexibility to set the tourism budget from year to year and proposed a contract with no specific funding levels required. The chamber said it needed stability to run a successful program and couldn't accept an open-ended financial arrangement.The city now plans to bring the program in-house when the current contract expires Dec. 31. City Manager Kimball Payne said he will make job offers to all current tourism staffers and hopes to make the transition as seamless as possible.This decision, however, follows years of on-again, off-again tensions between tourism and City Hall. Some tourism officials felt city administrators were hostile toward the program and actively working to undermine it.In an email to council, tourism board vice chair Lynn Fairchild Martin said tourism director Beckie Nix and chamber president Rex Hammond are owed an apology for the way they've been treated."Leaders from around the state are now shaking their heads at this," Martin wrote. "It's truly an embarrassment. These two have done more to directly benefit the city with much needed economic development than the city's own employees."In an interview, Martin said she felt the city administration never truly wanted to renew the chamber's contract and instead manipulated the process to take over the program."In my opinion, as well as most of the rest of the board members, this contract was set up to fail," she said.Gillette, perhaps the most outspoken critic of the existing tourism contract, said that was absolutely untrue."First of all, it's our tourism program, so to say anyone is angling to take over anything is a little bit of a misstatement," he said. "It's the city's tourism program, we pay for it, and we need to be able to decide how it's run. We need to have that control just like in any other city program."Gillette contended the city needed more discretion over the tourism budget so it could adapt to changing economic climates. Council's inability to change tourism funding levels during the recent recession had been a point of frustration for some.The city made an earnest effort to renegotiate the contract, Gillette said, but talks were unsuccessful. While it will be brought in-house, no significant changes or disruptions to the program are planned."We've had good success with the chamber over the years," Gillette said. "This doesn't in any way disparage that. We're happy with the way the program was run, and as I said, we're not likely to make any significant changes. But, again as I said, we needed to have more control over the financial decisions that happen over time."In addition to the larger financial issues, the city wanted to be in closer communication with the tourism program. When the tourism advisory board is re-established under the new internal structure, Payne intends to propose three seats to be created for himself or his deputy, Economic Development Director Marjette Upshur and Communications & Marketing Director JoAnn Martin.Including these departments will promote cooperation and synergy, Payne said. The a迷你倉visory board is made up of nine volunteers from the hospitality industry, local tourist attractions or other related fields.The board is charged with overseeing the program and approving its performance benchmarks and marketing strategies.Current board chairman Greg Starbuck said he felt the chamber did the right thing by declining the city's contract offer."The planning process and implementation process for this kind of work is years," Starbuck said. "You can't just jump in and out of things. Building tourism is a long-term endeavor."The city's proposal was a dramatic change from current agreements and would put the program on unsure footing from year to year, he said. "The contract wasn't built for success in our view," he said.Starbuck added it's regrettable Lynchburg's program will be going through a period of transition when key Civil War history dates are approaching.Next year will be the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Lynchburg, and the following year, the statewide sesquicentennial commemoration will culminate in the anniversary of the surrender at Appomattox Court House.Last week, when the tourism decision was announced, Payne said his plan was to make the transition as simple and painless as possible."I'm looking for them to walk out of one office one day and walk into the new office the next day with very little change," he said.Like Gillette, Payne said the city had no ulterior motives in the contract negotiations. He noted he had argued against bringing tourism in-house when the issue was hotly debated about six years ago.When tourism is moved under the umbrella of City Hall, it may incur some new administrative expenses, such as the cost of enrolling the employees in the Virginia Retirement System.But Payne said it wasn't immediately clear how VRS' costs compare to the current benefits package provided to tourism's five employees.In addition, the program no longer will pay the chamber for office space, shared support personnel and other considerations. The chamber was being paid close to $80,000 per year for the services it provided, according to city officials.The total financial impact of the changeover remains to be seen, but city officials predicted it would be modest."I've never represented that this would be cheaper," Payne said. "But I don't think it's going to be enormously more expensive."The transition plan is slated to come to council Nov. 26 for approval. Council will be asked to sign off on the creation of an internal tourism department and re-establish the tourism advisory board under the new structure.Starbuck said he was disappointed with the contract decision and felt the process had become damagingly politicized.When asked if he felt this was a negative outcome for the tourism program's future, he said, "I don't think it's positive. I think it's disappointing. But the future remains to be seen."Starbuck added he felt the program could continue to be successful provided all of the current staff was retained, tourism funding was left intact and the program was given the flexibility to do its job rather than being micromanaged.The tourism issue has been closely watched by local hotels, tourist attractions and other businesses that rely on visitor spending. Last spring, when a major cut in tourism spending was proposed, industry representatives rallied around the program and its staff.The tourism budget ultimately was set at $1.25 million for the current fiscal year -- a slight decline from $1.32 million the year before.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The News & Advance (Lynchburg, Va.)

再見,雙11;你好,O2O
信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/單日銷售350億,自存倉總成交1.7億筆,客單價205元。這,就是剛剛結束的中國電子商務行業最重要的年度大促銷———“11.11”網絡購物狂歡節的成績單。在此期間,一位資深媒體評論員接受了阿里的力邀去現場旁觀。他試圖通過幾個維度、四個關鍵詞、三個結論,還原這一場中國商業史上罕見的全景圖。渠道之爭:一次利益的重新分配今年天貓索性直接把炮口對準了傳統商場,試圖繞過賣場直接和家居品牌商合作搞O2O(線上到線下)。此舉猶如在兩種商業模式之間點了一把火,包括居然、紅星、歐亞達在內的19家知名家居賣場聯合封殺雙11。某種意義上,這是一次渠道利益的重新大分配。面對憤怒的反彈,天貓被迫緊急叫停家居O2O業務。但馬雲顯然耿耿於懷,在11日晚上的媒體見面會上,一開口就說“來的時候轉了一下,商場沒多少人,服務員都沒什麼事幹”。來勢洶洶的互聯網大平台,憤怒反擊的線下大賣場,夾在中間的傳統老闆感受的則是惶恐。在淘寶城,我看到穿梭來去的傳統老闆。據說這是天貓特地請來觀摩雙11的。在報告廳里,他們對數字看得更專注並不時低聲討論。對他們來說很簡單,傳統賣場還是命根子,但未來觸網也是一定的。三英之戰:圈人圈流量圈產業鏈中國互聯網公認有三座大山:騰訊Tencent、百度Baidu、阿里巴巴Alibaba。馬化騰圈人、李彥宏圈流量,馬雲圈產業鏈,三英市值最高、產業控制力最強。眼看阿里巴巴要鯨吞大部分市場,騰訊、百度豈能甘心?這兩天,淘寶請全國媒體去杭州觀摩雙11,騰訊就請媒體去深圳採訪WE大會。這是馬雲、馬化騰繼“來往”大戰微信、�安保險發佈會當面對噴的又一次過招。百度則一邊借雙11宣傳購物搜索、百度衛士、手機瀏覽器,一邊暗中布局。坊間傳聞,“百度欲巨資收購大�點評並非空穴來風”。雙11期間,更是爆出一則驚人的陳年舊事:2007年,黃光裕意識到了互聯網是趨勢,直接找李彥宏提出成立合資公司,國美有線下客戶+供應鏈,百度有線上流量+搜索,可惜隨著黃入獄,一切over。傳統商業:與天貓競爭大於合作毫無疑問,這次雙11之後,中國商業的線上、線下正面對決即將拉開帷幕。這是一次波及全行業、全商戶、全體消費者的O2O戰爭,也是一場移動戰爭。天貓在線上占盡優勢,但卻總是以“要革你命、你死我活”的姿態出現。讓傳統商業非常緊張,這也給了對手極大的競爭空間。正如獨立電商分析師黃淵普所言,微信和天貓對線下傳統零售商的區別在於,微信從內部改造和提升傳統零售商的效率,雙方合作大於競爭;而天貓是個銷售平台,線下傳統零售商糾結于處理線上線下渠道衝突,雙方競爭大於合作。四個關鍵詞、三個結論四個關鍵詞、三個結論,來為雙11做個總結。社迷你倉網絡:雙11發軔于網上的光棍節,今年的雙11,天貓也是通過移動社交方式與消費者展開紅包饋贈等活動;O2O:智能手機的普及,手機APP的繁榮,讓線上、線下商業的深度融合成為可能,現在不開始O2O,未來就是O;移動:就像移動互聯網數倍于PC互聯網,移動電商,也將是一個遠遠大於PC電商的市場;大數據:消費資訊如何更便捷地達到消費者,這需要基於地理位置、基於消費者的數據挖掘等,大數據並不空。雙11是宣戰書,一場以社交網絡為溝通方式、以移動端為載體、以大數據為核心、從online逆襲offline的宣戰書;雙11是網購春運,在本來可以平滑的銷售曲線上人為拱出一個波峰,將所有購買力聚焦釋放、人人各取所需的購物節;雙11是亮肌肉,馬雲亮肌肉給港交所看,京東唯品會們亮給淘寶看,年輕人亮給老一輩看,一個前所未有的經濟、文化混搭現象。再見,雙11;你好,O2O。王冠雄(資深媒體評論員)雙11大家談350億元不僅是光鮮數據□余豐慧“11.11”光棍節網商消費日實實在在創造了一個消費興奮時點。可以說,在穩增長的緊要時期,這種消費興奮點、激情點越多越好。這也告訴我們,350億元背後說明13人口的中國消費潛力是巨大的,關鍵在於如何將潛力挖掘出來變為現實的消費能力。不要埋怨消費�動難,只怪�動消費的措施、方式方法不對路。不可否認350億元背後也有被網友吐槽,但總體來說,在中國誕生不到10年的網商信譽環境已經相當不錯了。相信再給其一些時間,會更加好。背後的“席勒式”衝動□侯繼勇2013年的諾貝爾經濟學獎獲得者之一羅伯特·席勒在《非理性繁榮》一書中曾講了這樣一個道理:市場往往受情緒驅動,而非價值判斷驅動。情緒相互傳染,會使市場走向越來越偏離價值判斷,也越來越繁榮。無論席勒對於這一現象的態度如何,一個客觀存在的現實卻是:那些最好的利用了這種情緒的公司,是市場上最成功的公司,因為他們離人最近。消費者、商家由理性變得越來越不理性,挑動情緒的阿里集團則一直理性:既可以打擊京東等各式競爭對手,還能大把大把地賺錢。對於天貓來說,雙11是一場只賺不賠的狂歡。以平均傭金3%、交易額300億計,天貓平台一天入袋9億。透支營造的消費狂歡□信海光在電商網站與媒體的共同推動下,一個購物狂歡氣氛被人為營造出來,其中夾雜著太多非理性因素。消費者的錢包容量畢竟有限,在雙11這一天被刺激消費,實際上包含著一種透支。雙11花得多了,其他時間自然就少了。商家也是如此,本來可以平滑的銷售曲線上被人為地拱出一個波峰,節日過後,大部分電商網站流量下滑,需相當長時間才能恢複。另外,在雙11購物行為中,低價是最大的推動因素之一,這不但強化了價格戰這種最低端的競爭方式,還誘發了盲目追求低價的消費者的非理性行為。mini storage
