Cab demand high after office hoursWE THANK Mr Tan Swee Seng and Mr Poh Soon Leong for their letters ("Start cabs' CBD surcharge earlier" and "Taxis not major cause of jams"; both published on Monday).儲存倉To encourage taxi drivers to enter the Central Business District (CBD) for fares, taxi companies introduced the CBD surcharge which goes to the drivers to help them offset the ERP charges and provide them with an incentive to ply the CBD/city areas.The surcharge is applicable during the evening peak periods from 5pm where there is a high concentrated demand for taxis after office hours.The bus lane scheme was implemented to give buses priority as they are more efficient movers of passengers. For bus lanes to be effective, bus movements must not be impeded during bus lane operating hours. Allowing taxis to use bus lanes during bus lane operating hours would slow down the buses and affect travel time.For this reason, we allow taxis to use bus lanes only outside bus lane operating hours, when bus volumes are lower.Helen Lim (Ms)Director, Media RelationsLand Transport AuthoritySpecial-needs kids at NE ShowWE THANK Mr Derek Seet Chang Hui for his letter ("Invite special-needs kids to NE Show"; July 27).Since 1997, the National Education (NE) Shows have served as a signature event for all Primary 5 pupils to experience the National Day Parade.Primary 5 pupils (or age 11 equivalent) in the special education schools are also invited to the NE Shows.However, from time to time, the schools may not be able to include some pupils in the NE Shows owing to their health conditions and disabilitie迷你倉沙田.We will continue to work with the special education schools to enhance their pupils' National Day experience.Liew Wei Li (Ms)Director, Student Development Curriculum DivisionMinistry of EducationDoes what's collected really get recycled?I HAVE been faithfully sorting out my trash and bringing items to the recycling bins near my home or office.I have two questions for the National Environment Agency:I usually see recycling bins for paper, plastic, cans and trash. What about glass bottles and containers? Where should I put them? Does Singapore recycle glass?A friend told me that she saw recycling bags being dumped with regular trash by staff in some places.What legislation, and more importantly, enforcement measures are in place to ensure what's collected gets recycled?Daniel Tan Yong NamKeep kids with skin conditions in mindIT IS good to read about the new PE syllabus ("New PE syllabus to promote sports for all"; Thursday).I am one of those who never liked phyiscal education classes nor sports from a young age.PE was nothing but boring exercises that resulted in itchiness due to my eczema. Going under the sun was not to my liking.My perception of exercise changed when I was exposed to yoga, archery and Zumba.Perspiration is minimal when doing yoga. Archery is goal-focused while Zumba is fun. In fact, I never knew exercising could be fun until I tried Zumba.If it had been part of the PE syllabus when I was young, my lifestyle would have been less sedentary.I hope the Education Ministry can keep people with skin conditions in mind when designing the new PE syllabus.Lai Wai Mun (Ms)迷你倉價錢

Change in shop ownership rules is a sign of e-commerce's growing valueWHEN couples divorce, they often fight over who gets the house, the money or the children.self storage In China, they also fight over virtual assets like the family's online business.A Beijing couple went to court in September to settle who should get their jointly owned baby milk powder store on the popular Taobao website, the biggest Chinese e-commerce website.When they parted ways, they agreed that the husband would keep the online store. The wife later changed her mind - and the password to the store - which brings in more than 100,000 yuan (S$20,700) in profit a year.As the online shop was registered under the wife's name - and Taobao prohibited the transfer of ownership - the husband had no choice but to go to court. He won the case.While no exact figures are available, there are enough of such legal tussles to prompt Taobao, which has 500 million registered users, to change its mind and allow online shop ownership transfers with effect from July 22.This is "to respond to market changes and users' needs", said a spokesman for Alibaba, which runs Taobao. The spokesman declined to disclose how many transfer requests had been received so far.Still, it goes to show how virtual shops have become as valuable as physical ones, according to Internet analyst Fang Dongxing. "There's a complete credit system, a reliable source of clients and each shop has its own value."It also underlines how e-commerce is big business in China.On Taobao, about 480,000 items are sold on average every minute. E-commerce receipts on Taobao, whi迷你倉h has eight million shop owners, and its sister website Tmall hit more than 1.1 trillion yuan last year, more than that of American websites eBay and Amazon combined, noted The Economist magazine.There are 242 million online shoppers in China last year, a 25 per cent increase from the previous year, said the China Internet Network Information Centre.Taobao has also started to allow online shops to be passed down in the event of death, like any other real-life property.The deaths of two Taobao merchants last year sparked calls for a rule change. In both cases, the store owners' accounts and data were lost after they died.Taobao now allows nominated beneficiaries to take over a store after the merchant's death.While making exceptions for divorce and deaths, Taobao does not otherwise allow online shops to be bought or sold like physical ones, though this is done on the black market."There are many legal issues and risks involved like money laundering," noted Mr Fang.The concern is that transfers may affect the trustworthiness of an online shop, which is built up by and tied to the registered owner, said the Alibaba spokesman."This rule is to encourage every shop to provide good service and accumulate good reviews, so as to protect the rights of consumers," the spokesman added.Taobao shop owner Chen Yuefeng, 37, who sells baby products online with her husband, welcomed the change.Just like running a physical shop, it takes a lot of hard work to run one online, she told The Straits Times."It's good that there's now a legal process for the transfer of shops," she said.hoaili@sph.com.sg文件倉

殺死感光細胞眼疾患者增20% 漆黑玩手機 隨時致盲
智能手機、平板電腦大行其道,self storage 「一機在手」對市民來說,無論工作與生活都不可或缺,本報更發現七成市民把手機視為「助眠」工具,睡前隨時玩上數小時。不過,工程師和眼科醫生指出,智能手機等屏幕會釋放出殺傷力僅次於紫外光的「高能量短波藍光」,長時間、尤其是在昏暗環境中使用,可令眼球內的「感光細胞」受到無可挽救的損害,出現如同「菲林走光」的致盲後果。眼科醫生強調,近年與電子儀器有關的眼疾求診病人急增約20%,呼籲市民必須適當使用相關產品,保護靈魂之窗。本報記者李兆德吉澤宇「智能手機、平板電腦的七彩畫面,是由紅、綠、藍『三原色』,透過不同的電壓控制,以背光技術投射至屏幕混合而成斑斕色彩,當中包括波長短、但含高能量的『短波藍光』。」香港工程師學會理事霍偉棟指出,在光譜之中,高能量短波藍光對人類眼睛的損害僅次於紫外光。損害僅次紫外光雖然霍偉棟強調短波藍光屬於自然光的一種,且現行電子產品釋出的短波藍光屬可接受水平,市民如非長時間或不適當環境下使用應不構成危險,不過他還是呼籲市民為防眼睛受到傷害,應把屏幕的光量度盡可能調至最低, 「屏幕亮度如調校至最光最亮,射出的短波藍光也愈多,傷害必然較最低最暗為高,危險性亦相對增加」。即使將屏幕亮度校至最低,仍需要在適當環境下使用,才能令高能量短波藍光的傷害減至最低。眼科專家兼香港醫學會副會長周伯展指出,市民應在光線充足的地方使用手機和平板電腦,切忌在昏暗或漆黑環境中「打機」。調低亮度減傷害周伯展解釋說,一些光線會對眼睛造成損害,與此同時,眼球迷你倉的角膜和晶體則充當防衛角色,阻隔有害光線進入眼球。不過,紫外線和短波藍光卻能穿透眼睛內的晶體到達視網膜,導致眼球內的感光細胞受損,當中短波藍光主要影響眼球內感光細胞的新陳代謝,包括「視錐細胞」和「視桿細胞」,並會使細胞壞死,同時會令處於眼球底部黃斑點的功能亦告失效, 「視錐細胞與視桿細胞是我們『看東西』的成像細胞,猶如照相機底片上的微粒,假如細胞壞死便等同底片走光,會失去視力。」周伯展續說,眼睛為防光害,還靠瞳孔的收縮減少光線射入眼球, 「在光線充足的環境下,瞳孔會收細,降低短波藍光進入眼睛的數量;身處暗黑環境時,瞳孔會自然放大大,吸收更多短波藍光。因此市民不應在昏暗環境下使用手機。」70%人愛睡前玩本報向100名市民調查發現,約70%市民習慣在昏暗環境如睡覺前,甚至關掉室內燈光再玩手機或使用電腦上網,周伯展形容如此習慣「猶如長時間用電筒直接照射眼睛,可導致青光眼、乾眼症、黃斑病變等眼疾,嚴重者更有機會致盲。」周伯展坦言近年因長期使用智能電話、平板電腦等電子儀器而患上眼疾的求診者有約20%的升幅,尤以小童及青少年為主,呼籲處於發育時期的小童和年輕人盡量減少在昏暗環境使用有關產品,以保護眼睛。護眼小貼士●將屏幕亮度調暗●盡量避免使用鮮藍色屏幕背景圖案●減少在黑暗環境下使用●堅守「20.20.20」規則,即使用20分鐘、望20呎以外景物休息20秒以上●眼睛與屏幕最少保持30厘米距離●每年定期作全面眼科檢查1次●盡量別讓2歲以下小童使用屏幕儀器資料來源:眼科醫生周伯展文件倉

共同為新界發展創造好環境
新界開發,文件倉不但關係新界利益,更加承載�香港未來。 香港自開埠以來,經過百多年的發展,港島、九龍已經基本飽和;為了更好滿足未來的民生及經濟所需,無論密度還是高度均存極大發展空間的新界,無疑是未來發展的重點所在。事實上,現時香港整體發展出現樽頸,很多環節都有供不應求的問題。最大的供求矛盾,當為住屋供應,非但導致樓價長期居高不下、以至高不可攀,也拖低了市民的居住面積和生活質素,甚而迫不得已要蝸居�房。是故,增加房屋供應,已成社會的主流共識;在港九地區針插不入的前提下,供應來源肯定很大程度落於新界,包括建設大型新市鎮。再次的供求矛盾,則在商業尤其商舖方面,不單同樣面對租金高企的問題,且更動輒索取天價,許多傳統老店不得不關門結業,個體戶小店的生存空間也愈縮愈窄。因此,增加商用供應,亦都愈來愈迫切;否則,遑論進駐消費旺區,就連一般住宅區都恐面臨無舖可租之窘,新界無疑是箇中最大出路。住宅和商用供應不足,既是民生問題,也是經濟問題;如果坐視情況持續,拒絕好好運用新界的土地資源,問題只會日益惡化,矛盾只會日趨嚴重。 誠然,新界發展本身也有不少利益矛盾。首先,這涉及宏觀與微觀的矛盾:究竟新界土地應該優先服務全港,抑或純粹服務當地居民?當中,又涉及發展與保育的矛盾:究竟新界土地應該城市化撥作住屋及商業發展,抑或繼續維持舊昔的鄉郊式村屋及農耕功能?另外,也涉及香港與內地之間的關係:究竟新界存倉地應該純粹解決本地民生需要,抑或可以服務內地旅客,刺激旅遊業和創造就業?凡此種種,不一而足。其實,不少問題都可有效平衡過來,例如,適當地補償住民、覓地復耕、將旅客引導集中到並不擾民的新消費地點等等。 最重要的,乃透過「由下而上」的方式來凝聚共識,做好公眾諮詢的工作,吸納社會意見,理順不滿情緒,一切當以民意為本。否則的話,過程之中難免遇上反對聲音,令討論變得舉步維艱,尤其於今高度泛政治化的環境之下,更需縝密。新界東北的發展已夠一波三折,除了上述談及的種種矛盾,近日更炒熱發展局局長陳茂波的所謂利益衝突事件,昨天更有該局政治助理何建宗漏報利益關係而自動請辭,無可避免的會進一步干擾有關新界未來的討論,以至部分論者只去關注政治,而非聚焦政策方面。這肯定不是有利新界未來的政策討論的應有之義。 為促進新界發展創造更佳氛圍和環境,香港商報新界分社及香港商報新界專版應運而生,香港商報社長黃揚略昨在分社成立暨專刊創刊的酒會上指出,這是為了更好傳播新界資訊、發出新界聲音、反映新界訴求、推動新界發展、為新界鼓與呼。新界鄉議局主席劉皇發及赴會嘉賓都紛紛表示,希望專刊能夠更好地「為民發聲」。的確,新界未來究竟何去何從,必須先有一個良好的溝通氣氛,全社會同舟共濟一起營造積極面向未來的良好環境,如此才能理性溝通,凝聚共識,更好地平衡各界利益、吸納各方意見,令新界發展順利推進。 香港商報評論員李哲自存倉
