（印度 新德里2日訊）印度製造業採購經理人指數（PMI）已連續2個月萎縮，迷你倉最平印度的經濟前景進一步讓市場擔憂。據匯豐委託市調機構Markit所做的調查顯示，印度製造業PMI雖由8月的48.5點上升至49.6點，但仍位於景氣榮枯分界的50點以下。匯豐印度及東盟（ASEAN）首席經濟學家艾斯克森（Leif Eskesen）表示，“9月製造業活動持續萎縮，雖然減幅較前月略為緩和。製造業的訂單流量依然疲弱，特別是出口迷你倉單，且就業也開始走疲。”匯豐指出，出口訂單萎縮的速度寫下逾2年來最快，主要因為盧比疲弱推升進口成本，衝擊印度出口商的競爭力，印度政府原預期盧比走貶可望提振出口和競爭力的希望破滅。由於印度經常賬赤字擴大，且市場擔心一旦聯儲局（Fed）開始縮減購債規模後，印度難以籌措資金，使得盧比在5月至8月間重貶22%。PMI亦顯示印度製造業的聘雇情況開始呈現疲態。據匯豐表示，新訂單下滑讓印度製造商19個月來首次開始裁員。;儲存

商務及經濟發展局最新公布的「數碼21」資訊科技發展諮詢文件，迷你倉最平重點之一是鼓勵中小企發展雲端平台，資訊科技業亦看好市場前景，爭相「衝上雲端」，開發為各行業度身設計的雲端方案。有企業親身試用雲端服務後認為，將系統平台搬到雲上是大勢所趨，有助省卻自行管理伺服器材的成本。不過專家表示，雲端服務市場資訊欠透明及未有完善監管，長遠希望政府設立監管。本報記者陳卓康「雲端運算」乍聽遙不可及，其實觸手可及。除了黑客謀盜數據資料來勢洶洶，中小企苦於能力所限難擲重金投資防毒，願付月費將電腦系統外判「雲端」服務外，日常利用手機查閱朋友上載照片，在平板電腦開啟文件，對「機不離手」的港人而言， 「雲」早就應用於生活中。商經局上月公布最新「數碼21」資訊科技發展諮詢文件，除加強個人生活電子化，亦重點鼓勵中小企發展雲端平台。政府會加強推廣雲端服務協助中小企靈活處理業務，從而提高生產力及競爭力。雲端是資訊銀行需監管資訊世代數據就是金錢，客戶資訊作為重要資產， 「雲端」就是資訊的銀行，中大系統工程管理學系教授黃錦輝以銀行比喻存放資料的雲端，但他反問「銀行的運作有金管局監管，那雲端有沒有監管機構？」他認為，使用雲端始終是「假手於人」，中小企尚未放心交託資料予其他公司保管，加上供應商的服務水平難有保證。他雖然贊成政府倡導中小企普及雲端，但認為長遠必須考慮由政府出手規範及監管。他舉例指，雲端公司一旦突然結業，客戶存放的資料該如何處理，政府是否已想過如何收拾殘局；又例如早前斯諾登所言，美國政府向Google（谷歌）擅取個人資料，用家根本無法得知，更遑論追究， 「如何保證本港雲端供應商不會隨意交出或泄漏敏感資料迷你倉」他稱強大如Gmail或任天堂皆出現「�機」情況，他質疑以廉價作賣點的雲端服務平台，是否能維持「7×24」系統（每周7天每天24小時）的無間斷服務。中小企商會聯席會議聯席主席蕭友強認為，資料在雲上有備份「一世都唔會唔見」， 「像以往將所有東西藏在harddisk（硬碟）上，一燒�就血本無歸」，至於私隱外泄風險更不成問題，因為「企業懂得自行決定何種資料適合存放雲端，敏感唔畀得人知可自行保留」。他以自己曾任職的媒體公司為例，整個運作系統都在雲上，省卻以往公司自行管理系統硬件衍生的租金、維修、保養、人手等「重皮」成本。「依賴Excel管理資料的時代已經過去」，雲端運算技術經已成熟，教師學生在雲上編排或選擇課程、記者或編輯在家中或街上登入系統寫稿，諸如此類「保安雲」、「物流雲」、「教育雲」、「貿易雲」等運作模式必然是大勢所趨。輕視數據安全亂用服務不過，中小企國際聯盟發言人羅文浩坦言，不少中小企對雲端究竟為何物，仍是「一�雲」。他指，中小企以往多數輕視數據安全，認為網絡保安不須「大陣仗」，雖然開始對雲端有初步認識，但市民資訊仍不足夠，選擇服務商「貨比三家」時，唯有「見其他公司用得唔錯就試下用」。對於坊間數百元月費有交易的雲端服務，他認為小型公司一般「唔擔心得咁多」，而且小公司亦不認為遺失資料是致命傷。網絡發達黑客肆虐，中小企避免重要資料被竊，政府力倡的雲端平台是否可行出路仍未有定論。看好市場的科技公司，趁業界的舊有觀念開始改變時「插旗」，待雲端鼓動風潮時領先市場，亦有中小企暫且靜觀其變，待「去馬」，在一日嫌長的資訊科技數據世界， 「雲端」鼓動風潮還是隨風消逝，有待時間證明一切。儲存

Source: St.儲存 Louis Post-DispatchOct. 04--BEL-NOR --Inside a fourth-grade room at Bel-Nor Elementary School, a boy studied two numbers on his worksheet: five and three. Superintendent Ty McNichols crouched beside his desk trying to help the pupil determine which one was greater.The pupil was clearly struggling. McNichols made note of that. As he walked the room, he and two administrators also took note of how well the 17 other students were grasping the same concept, and to what degree their teacher, Melissa Murphy, was engaging them."We're trying to get in the rooms and see what they're struggling with, what they're doing well," McNichols said in a hushed voice.For McNichols, it was day No. 85 on the job -- one that was also filled with meetings with central office staff and a bond debt adviser.His role as Normandy superintendent was radically redefined just weeks before he filled the post. That is when the Missouri Supreme Court upheld the school transfer statute, triggering the transfer of about 2,200 students in the unaccredited Normandy and Riverview Gardens school districts to higher performing schools throughout the region.Even before the ruling, McNichols faced the daunting task of turning around a school district with the lowest performance rating in the state.Now, he must make improvements as the district faces an estimated $15 million in tuition and transportation costs for more than 1,000 transfer students.To stop the transfers, Normandy must regain at least provisional accreditation. To do that, McNichols must figure out how to improve learning in classrooms.But he's not after sudden and massive transformation. Instead, McNichols is strategically zeroing in on a few areas, such as literacy, science and math, hoping that modest gains will be enough to pick up needed state accreditation points.Much of what consumes his time and energy has less to do with learning than challenging public perceptions.Inside his district, that means using public forums and other events to improve the district's image to keep students and to draw others back.Outside the district, that means telling groups such as a joint legislative committee in Jefferson City on Tuesday about the impact the transfer law is having on his district.The job is bigger than just Normandy, McNichols said.Across Missouri, 11 school districts are provisionally accredited, putting them at risk of receiving the state's worst rating in a couple of years if their academics, attendance and graduation rates decline even further.In Normandy, the education of about 3,000 children is at stake, the vast majority of whom perform below grade level in reading and math. Whether the Normandy district can afford the staff and programs needed to get them up to speed will in part hinge on the choices McNichols makes this fall."The reality is he has to continue to give confidence to people in this community that he's up for the task," said Chris Krehmeyer, chief executive of Beyond Housing, a nonprofit group that's trying to address education, housing, health and other area concerns within the district.SHARING THE MESSAGEMcNichols has spent hours outside his north St. Louis County school district participating in more than a dozen panels, forums and public meetings about the transfer situation.His message -- which he amplifies in the media -- is that the migration of students from Normandy schools is not sustainable, particularly if the district must finance tuition costs plus transportation expenses to at least one other district."It's easy to say give families choice and let them go wherever they want," he said. "It's not as easy as it sounds."McNichols' high-profile approach to the transfer crisis is in contrast to that of Scott Spurgeon, the Riverview Gardens superintendent, who speaks much less frequently at public forums and in the media about his district's predicament.McNichols' appearances have caused some to ask him if his time would be better spent working on Normandy's academics. He addressed this a few times last week at community forums."I have to be in the community and in the news because I don't think our story is being told," he said.He introduces himself to community groups as a native St. Louisan who graduated from Christian Brothers College high school. He began his career as a teaching assistant in the University City School District, and then became an elementary school teacher in St. Louis Public Schools and in the Pattonville district. Over time, he worked as an administrator in the Clayton, Kirkwood and Hazelwood districts.McNichols shows a photo of his family. And then he lays out his strategy for turning around Normandy schools. It requires more support from parents. It involves an intense focus on literacy, and on science, technology, engineering and math.In one audience was Bobbie BoClair, whose son and daughter attend Normandy schools. She and her husband had prself storageyed about whether to transfer them to another district. But their children wanted to stay. BoClair says she's happy with that decision."It seems like something has clicked" in Normandy, she said.BoClair, like many parents whose children remain in Normandy schools, believes that the district will stop its decline.McNichols doesn't promise them transformational change. Instead, he speaks of improving academics in bite-sized increments."If we shoot for 3 percent improvement in all the content areas, we will be -- if not at the provisional accreditation mark -- then pretty close to it," he says.SMALL STEPSThat strategy of modest improvement may strike some as inadequate.After all, the district earned just 11 percent of the 140 points possible on the state's annual performance report -- the lowest of any district in the state. To be in range of provisional accreditation, it needs more than 50 percent of the points.But that same scale also rewards school districts that are making improvement -- even if performance still lags state averages.McNichols often describes his district as climbing out of a basement. In some academic areas, he says, the district is just a step or two from reaching the basement door.McNichols and his central office executive learning team are looking for "pockets of success" in their schools -- things that are working well that could be easily replicated in other classrooms -- that would help the district walk through the door.So each week, he enters several of the district's seven schools with Assistant Superintendent Candice Carter Oliver, who takes notes on her iPad. They walk the hallways with the principal. They visit classrooms. Their eyes scan the walls, looking for objectives and evidence of students' work. They watch the teachers. Almost instantly, they can assess the level of expectations and whether learning is taking place.Then they kneel beside students to see what they're working on, quietly asking them to explain the lesson."Children should be able to articulate what it is that they're learning," Carter Oliver said.Later in the hallway, the principal evaluates the teacher and the classroom environment -- and what must be done to improve it. McNichols, hands in his pockets, listens. He is also assessing the principal.McNichols calls it "support from the trenches."It's the kind of work he'd like to do more of. But the transfer situation, he said, is draining the amount of time he has to spend in classrooms."It has required us to spend more time looking at finances, staffing patterns, programs in a lot more detail that we would have if we were just planning for the school year," he said.TAKINGS STEPSMcNichols said his schools have been steadily gaining students since Aug. 19, when the school year began. But if no budget cuts are made, Normandy could face financial insolvency by March, according to state education officials. The education department is asking for a $6.8 million supplemental budget request to help Normandy get through the end of the school year.More fundamentally, Normandy must improve while potentially cutting programs and teachers to help the district remain financially stable.This month, McNichols plans to identify which cuts he will make to attempt to get through the current school year.In all, 1,046 students have transferred out of the Normandy district -- though several hundred of them have never been enrolled in its schools, McNichols says.The school district says the impact on its total enrollment has been offset by new students moving into the Normandy area. All told, Normandy reported only 360 fewer students to the state this year than last. State enrollment figures, however, point to an enrollment drop of about 1,000 students.Regardless, the financial hit from the transfers is sizable. McNichols says tuition and transportation costs for those students "are going to use more than a fourth of our resources."But despite all those challenges, McNichols says improvement is still possible.And changes, he tells parents and the public, are already afoot.At Normandy High School, he said, steps are being taken to crack down on disruptive behavior. Cellphones are no longer permitted during the school day. Later this year, security cameras will be installed outside restrooms, where several students last year disrupted learning for everyone by setting a rash of fires.Three schools have new principals -- the high school, Normandy Middle School and Barack Obama Elementary. McNichols has increased his top administrative staff to five, from three, to help support every principal and be more responsive to parents."Everything here is fixable," McNichols told a crowd in Pagedale last week. "It takes time. It can't happen overnight. But it can be fixed."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Visit the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at .stltoday.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷利倉

A Chinese services-industry index rose to a six-month high, adding to signs that the world’s second-biggest economy will sustain a rebound after a two- quarter slowdown.self storageThe gauge rose to 55.4 in September from 53.9 in August, the Beijing-based National Bureau of Statistics and Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today. A number more than 50 indicates an expansion.An increase in tourist numbers for a current week-long Chinese holiday points to robust consumption and a low probability of a “hard landing” for the economy, Bank of America Corp. said today. Gains in non-manufacturing industries help Premier Li Keqiang shift the economy away from dependence on exports and investment, with the next phase of that strategy to be mapped out at a Communist Party meeting in November.China is “unlikely to see a sharp slowdown,” Bank of America’s Hong Kong-based economist Lu Ting said in a report on the tourism figures. The economy may have expanded 7.9 percent in the third quarter, he迷利倉said.In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index rose 1 percent as of 10:01 a.m. local time.Visitors to the nation’s top 125 tourist attractions rose 19 percent from a year earlier to 8.4 million people during the first two days of the holiday after adjusting for changes to the number of surveyed attractions, according to the Bank of America report.The federation said a gauge of new orders jumped, retail spending grew strongly and a logistics industry index rose. Today’s report followed smaller-than-forecast gains in manufacturing indexes for September.Fiscal support measures including spending on railways, urban infrastructure and shanty-town redevelopments are helping Li to protect a goal of a 7.5 percent economic expansion this year.The statistics bureau reports third-quarter gross domestic product on Oct. 18. The economy probably grew 7.7 percent from a year earlier, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts, up from the second quarter’s 7.5 percent pace.-Quamnet/Wendy-自存倉

Source: St.存倉 Louis Post-DispatchOct. 04--ST. LOUIS --A grocery that's been in the works for years just south of downtown is set to open soon and bring a new twist to the traditional grocery model.The St. Louis Food Hub at 1500 Lafayette Avenue, which includes both a full-service grocery called Fields Foods and a food distribution and processing center under the same roof, has set an opening date of Jan. 4. Construction began in January on the food hub, which will employ 100 full- and part-time workers.Backers of the $15 million project, Chris Goodson and Jeffrey Randol, say they're scouting other sites both in the region and other states to replicate the concept."We're looking for sites here and elsewhere," said Randol, a partner at Cornerstone Ventures, a Philadelphia-based consulting firm that advises on the development of such stores in "food deserts" -- areas that lack places to buy affordable, fresh foods.The new 37,000-square-foot store, located in the Peabody Darst Webbe neighborhood, will seek to draw customers from the growing downtown residence base and nearby neighborhoods, including Lafayette Square and Soulard.The site's close proximity to entrance ramps for interstates 44 and 55 also will cater to downtown's office workers who want to make a quick shopping trip before or after work."The big missing part has been a grocery store," said Goodson, a real estate developer whose Gilded Age development firm bought the long-shuttered former City Hospital across the street in 2004 and converted the property into 104 condos. "We just don't have other close grocery stores in close proximity."Next year, Gilded Age will add 62 new apartments to the 10-acre former hospital property site that's also home to the Palladium event center, Butler's Pantry catering, the Climb So iLL indoor rock climbing gym and Element restaurant. Additionally, A.T. Still University has acquired land and says it plans to open a dental school clinic on the former hospital site.While businesses gravitated to the area in recent years, a grocery remained elusive as the recession put some chains' growth plans on hold.When Gilded Age announced plans for a grocery in 2007, it was with Minneapolis-based Supervalu, a project that never materialized. Other pending deals with Phoenix-based grocery chain Sunflower Farmers Market and local operator Sappington Market also failed to move forward.But Goodson remained committed to finding the right partner to bring a grocery to the site."If you just build up the area without amenities and services, they will leave," Goodson said about residents who have moved nearby. A Walgreens that opened next to the planned grocery in 2010 has been "hugely successful," Goodson said. "The demand is there. The (adjacent) Walgreens proves it."Stacy Hastie, chairman and CEO of Environmental Operations Inc., is an investor with Goodson on the building that will be leased by the food hub.Lenders that provided New Markets Tax Credits and other financing include U.S. Bank, Enterprise Bank & Trust, Central Bank of Kansas City an儲存 Great Southern Bank. Chicago-based community development financial institution IFF provided an equipment loan, and St. Louis-based developer McCormack Baron Salazar and the Carpenters' District Council of Greater St. Louis and Vicinity also provided financing. BSI Constructors is the general contractor and KAI Design & Build is the architect.New amenitiesThe food hub's size, 37,000 square feet, is smaller than a typical suburban grocery. But it's more spacious than the 21,000-square-foot Culinaria grocery that Schnuck Markets opened two miles away in the heart of downtown in 2009. It's also about a half mile from the historic open-air Soulard Farmers Market, which is closed on Sundays. Beginning in January, Fields Foods will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.Fields Foods will seek to differentiate itself from other grocers by focusing on fresh foods bought from small and mid-size farmers within 100 miles of St. Louis. It'll also have seafood, cheese, meat and prepared food departments -- everything but a pharmacy. Executive chef Kurt Vonder Haar will oversee managing food production staff and events such as wine-tasting dinners.A 15-seat wine bar, to be operated by the 33 Wine Shop & Tasting Bar, will allow customers to give employees a shopping list so they can have a glass of Chardonnay or a pilsner while someone else does the shopping. The bakery department's coffee bar will feature Park Avenue Coffee, which has a coffee shop located down the street in Lafayette Square.Last year, the food hub began its distribution operations at a temporary location, which will move to the new facility when construction is completed. The food hub buys directly from farmers and repackages sliced apples, fruit cups and other foods for schools and nonprofits."We'll be buying $3 million to $4 million in produce a year, and that gives us the buying power to make it affordably priced," Randol said.Fresh Foods also will offer a wide array of gluten-free, organic and non-genetically modified food alternatives to capitalize on growing demand for these kinds of foods. Sales of specialty foods in the U.S. rose to nearly $86 billion in 2012, a more than 14 percent increase from 2011, according to the Specialty Food Association, an industry trade group."A specialty store with a focus on local foods and produce is right on trend," said the group's spokeswoman, Louise Kramer. "Consumers today want to know where their food comes from and are interested in knowing the people behind their products."For Bob Kraemer, who lives in Kirkwood and visits the Lafayette Square neighborhood several times a week for church and to visit local stores, the food hub can't open soon enough."I think it's very much needed for the neighborhood, and it will help stabilize everything around it," he said while on a recent visit to Lafayette Square, adding he plans to shop at Fields Foods when it opens.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Visit the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at .stltoday.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage

據華爾街日報周二報導，mini storage印度製造業採購經理人指數（PMI）已連續2個月萎縮，印度的經濟前景進一步讓市場擔憂。據匯豐委託市調機構MARKIT所做的調查顯示，印度製造業PMI雖由8月的48.5點上升至49.6點，但仍位於景氣榮枯分界的50點以下。匯豐印度及東南亞國協（ASEAN）首席經濟學家艾斯克森（LEIF ESKESEN）表示，「9月製造業活動持續萎縮，雖然減幅較前月略為緩和。製造業的訂單流量依然疲弱，特別是出口訂單，且就業也開始走疲。」匯豐指出，出口訂單萎縮的速度寫下逾2年來最快，主要因為盧比疲弱推升進口成本，衝擊印度出口商的競爭力，印度政府原預期盧比走貶可望提振出口和競爭力的希望破滅。由於印度經常帳赤字擴大，且市場self storage心一旦聯準會（FED）開始縮減購債規模後，印度難以籌措資金，使得盧比在5月至8月間重貶22％。PMI亦顯示印度製造業的聘雇情況開始呈現疲態。據匯豐表示，新訂單下滑讓印度製造商19個月來首次開始裁員。高通膨率也讓印度的困境雪上加霜，通膨躥揚讓央行採行激進的振興經濟措施機率大減，避免刺激物價進一步走高。不過印度央行在最近一次於9月20日召開的貨幣政策會議，宣布將指標利率升息一碼，令市場大感意外。截至今年3月底止的年度，印度的國內生產毛額（GDP）僅成長5％，成長率創下10年低點，主要因為高借款成本、脆弱的基礎建設，以及振興投資的經濟法規改革緩慢。印度政府預估，今年4月至6月的經濟成長率恐進一步放緩，擴張幅度恐只有4.4％。mini storage
