A-levels first and last for man who took it in 1980
Official who took the inaugural exam oversees end of a test that has been taken by 922,000When Wan Tak-wing took Hong Kong’s first University Advanced Level Examination in 1980, he did not expect to become the person in charge of the same exam this year when the final curtain falls on it.新蒲崗迷你倉The results will be released today, after which Hong Kong will bid farewell to the A-level exam which has been taken by some 922,400 candidates over 34 years.A total of 5,322 private candidates registered for the exam this year, including 24 with special needs. Just over 4,500 sat it, making it the smallest group in the exam’s history. The eldest candidate was a 64-year-old who took only one subject and the youngest was 14. About 80 per cent of the candidates were repeating it.Five obtained two As and 63 received one A. About 56 per cent of the candidates passed, obtaining E or above. Almost 70 per cent of those who sat the exam took only one subject, around 18 per cent took two and only one took eight subjects.The advanced supplementary-level subject in use of English was the most popular, with about 86 per cent of the candidates taking it, and the least popular subject was physics, which had no takers.Wan, who sat the physics exam when it had just been introduced, said the exam this year was only for private candidates and not comparable with last year, when more than 40,000 private and school pupils took it.Wan said onlymini storageabout 10,000 candidates took the exam in its first year, and about 2 per cent, including him, scored enough marks to enter university.“We didn’t have much pressure preparing for the exam at that time and the exam was perhaps easier [than the later ones],” said Wan, who is acting general manager of the assessment department of the Exam and Assessment Authority.“Students have been studying harder to get good scores. This is also what we hope to see.”He joined the authority in 1989 as a director for mathematics and has played a part in every major A-level change since.Those changes have included the introduction of exam papers written in Chinese in 1992, the establishment of the Joint University Programmes Admissions System for students entering government-funded tertiary institutions in 1994, the introduction of AS-level subjects such as liberal studies in the same year and the last A-level exam for school candidates last year.Last year was also the first year of the Diploma of Secondary Education exam, following the introduction of the new senior secondary curriculum in 2009.“The A-level is an important milestone in Hong Kong’s education,” Wan said.Tong Chong-sze, secretary general of the authority, said the A-level had completed its task.“It has served Hong Kong very well over the 34 years,” he said. “We’re now ready for the next phase of our mission. We believe the DSE will continue to serve the city well.”self storage

寶信軟件定增投身大數據寶鋼股份擬認購過半股份
隨著移動設備的增加,迷你倉庫大數據將越發“無孔不入”。面對海量的數據,必然催生更龐大的計算與存儲需求。中國目前有將近54萬個數據中心在運營,並正以每年18%的復合增長率高速增長。☉記者 郭成林 夏子航 ○編輯 邱江停牌一周的寶信軟件今日公佈非公開發行方案,公司擬以15.89元/股的底價非公開發行4091萬股,募集不超過6.5億元投向寶之雲IDC一期項目和中小企業信息化軟件產品項目。大股東寶鋼股份將認購實際發行股份數的55.50%,繼續維持其在公司的控股比例。本次募資投向的亮點在於IDC項目。據披露,寶之雲IDC是公司依托區域內優勢產業資源——豐富的工業電力與閑置廠房——構建的大規模集約型IDC產業化基地。公司計劃在12個月內建設完成並形成4000個機櫃的規模,在投入運營的第3年達到100%的預計負荷率,為提供IT設備托管的IDC外包。公司表示,項目總投資為5.37億元,其中工程建設費用4.87億元,主要用于建設機房環境、配套設施以及機櫃。預計財務內部收益率(稅後)為18.49%,含建設期的投資回收期(稅後)為5.51年。互聯網數據中心(Internet Data Center)是基於互聯網絡,為集中式收集、存儲、處理和發送數據的設備提供運行維護的設施以及相關的服務體系,是大數據與雲計算的重要支撐。穀歌最新一份季報顯示,公司報告期資本開支高達16億美元。穀歌的CFO帕特里克·皮切特表示,大多與數據中心建設、設施採購、生產設備購買有關。“基礎設施仍將儲存投資的戰略領域之一,我們會繼續保持大額資本開支。”國內IDC發展也是方興未艾,隨著移動設備的增加,大數據將越發“無孔不入”。面對海量的數據,必然催生更龐大的計算與存儲需求。中國目前有將近54萬個數據中心在運營,並正以每年18%的復合增長率高速增長。IBM大中華區全球信息科技服務部數據中心業務總經理孫建鋼表示,數據中心已進入高速發展期,政策也全面放開,鼓勵雲數據中心的發展。值得注意的是,越來越多的機構認識到,能耗是IDC重要的運營成本之一。對此,寶信軟件表示,經過實踐和相關技術的積累,公司掌握了比冷凍水機組加水冷精密空調更加節能的間接蒸發冷卻裝備選用配置方法,並與該設備原廠商建立了良好的合作關係,預計PUE(數據中心消耗的所有能源與IT負載使用的能源之比)值可小于1.5。募投項目中的中小企業信息化軟件產品項目則擬利用公司在大型鋼鐵冶煉企業MES軟件上的技術優勢和市場優勢,向鋼鐵行業產業鏈中上下游企業以及與鋼鐵相關行業延伸。項目擬開發針對前述領域內的中小規模企業,涵蓋主要生產製造流程管理和企業資源管理的整體信息化解決方案。項目總投資為11465萬元,計劃在36個月內建設完成。此外,寶信軟件今日還公佈了公司半年報。由於公司主要客戶集中于鋼鐵冶金行業,因此上半年營業收入同比出現13.30%的下滑,淨利潤則同比小幅增長6.28%至1.41億元。在前十大無限售條件股東中,有一名新進的機構股東,為持股84.26萬股的太平人壽保險有限公司-分紅-團險分紅。新蒲崗迷你倉

曼斯菲爾簡歷自官網移除 蘋果技術副總裁 另有任用
華爾街日報周一報導,儲存蘋果技術部門資深副總裁曼斯菲爾(BOB MANSFIELD)的個人檔案已悄悄自蘋果官網移除,令人好奇此位頗受重用的硬體高層未來去向。另據彭博社指出,曼斯菲爾將卸下目前職位,負責特殊計畫。彭博社報導,蘋果發言人科頓(KATIE COTTON)表示,「曼斯菲爾不再位於高層團隊,但他會持續投入特殊計畫。」曼斯菲爾的個人簡歷原本位於蘋果高層名單中,但現在已消失,至少在美西時間周日下午以後即不在原本頁面上。在蘋果呈交證管會的資料中,最近一次提及曼斯菲爾的名字,是有關股票交易的記錄。曼斯菲爾深耕於蘋果工程部門多年,曾任MAC硬體部門主管。在2010年接替柏麥斯特(MARK PAPERMASTER),接掌蘋果IPHONE硬體工程新蒲崗迷你倉務。此前他已負責一部分的IPHONE的技術開發,包括RETINA高階螢幕和A4微處理器晶片。曼斯菲爾2012年曾表達退休意願,並且一度於當年6月退休,最後被蘋果執行長庫克(TIM COOK)以高薪慰留,兩個月後又重返職位。蘋果2012年發放予曼斯菲爾的薪酬價值高達8,550萬美元(基本薪資80.54萬美元,其餘大多是股票報酬),使其成為標普500企業中薪水第2高的主管。去年10月蘋果高層弗爾斯多(SCOTT FORSTALL)被迫下台之後,曼斯菲爾接手掌管蘋果無線團隊和半導體事業。曼斯菲爾在蘋果於1999年買下RAYCER GRAPHICS後加入蘋果。在蘋果任內,他曾負責超薄筆記型電腦MACBOOK AIR以及IMAC桌上型電腦的研發。mini storage

7-year-old ‘brain dead’ after swimming lesson
By Luo Wangshu in Chongqingluowangshu@chinadaily.存倉com.cnA swimming coach in Chongqing may face criminal charges after forcing a girl into the water during a lesson at a sports club on Friday, after which she nearly drowned.The 7-year-old girl was pronounced brain dead on Saturday.A man who witnessed the event told China Daily that he saw a woman in a black swimming suit dragging the girl into the pool at the HP Fitness Club in Yubei district on Friday afternoon.The girl did not have any buoyancy aids, and struggled in the water for a few minutes before drowning, said the eyewitness, who wished to be identified only by his surname, Ma.The girl was then spotted by a male lifeguard, who pulled her from the water and attempted to resuscitate her, said Ma.Describing the woman who dragged the girl into the water, Ma said that he thought she was a “tiger mother”, meaning a mother who pushes her child to succeed, and this is why he did not intervene.The girl’s mother, surnamed Wang, was too grief-stricken to talk to China Daily on Monday.According to Chongqing Morning Post, Wang said on Saturday that she was not allowed to enter the pool during her daughter’s lesson because she was wearing a dress on that day, and only people wearing swimming suits were allowed into the pool area.The mother then waited in the lobby downstairs until someone informed her that her daughter had drowned.The girl was sent to the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. A spokeswoman for the hospital said the girl was almost dead when she arrived.“Her pulse was very weak and her heart had almost stopped. ... Although she has a weak heart beat now, she has been confirmed brain dead, and the chance of survival is low,” said the spokeswoman, who would not be named.Chongqing police said they have filed the case for investigation, but would not give further details, such as whether the swimming coach was properly licensed.Li Yang, the club’s manager自存倉on duty on Monday, confirmed that a customer drowned in the club last week but said that he didn’t know much about the incident because he was not in charge of the case.However, he said that the swimming coach involved in the case had been suspended.The club was still open for business on Monday.Yi Shenghua, a Beijing-based lawyer, said the coach and the club both have criminal liability.He said if the girl dies, the coach could be charged with manslaughter through negligence or indirect intentional homicide, depending on the details of the case. If convicted, the coach may face more than 10 years in jail.“Many coaches use very strict training methods, and may cause the deaths of their students. Kids don’t know how to swim and it is dangerous to force them into the pool,” he said, adding that the club is also liable for compensation.Some senior coaches questioned the current standards used for issuing certificates to swimming coaches.According to one senior swimming coach from Chongqing: “The only requirement for hiring swimming coaches in many clubs is the swimming coach certificate. However, it is far too easy to gain the certificate nowadays.” The coach, who has 40 years of experience declined to give his full name for fear of reprisals from local sports clubs.“A person who knows how to swim, gets trained for three to five days and pays some money can easily get the certificate,” he said, adding that the coaching certificate is provided by the local swimming association.“Many coaches don’t know how to teach,” he said, adding it is the responsibility of coaches to watch the students, understand the children’s reaction to the water and help them get used to the pool.“It is so unprofessional to let a child drown,” he said.The only requirement for hiring swimming coaches in many clubs is the swimming coach certificate. However, it is far too easy to gain the certificate nowadays.”a swimming coach who has 40 years of experience迷你倉新蒲崗

Coast Guard team keeps Chesapeake Bay buoys shipshape
Source: The Baltimore SunJuly 29--Thousands of traffic signals on the Chesapeake Bay from the mouth of the Susquehanna River to the entrance of the Atlantic Ocean lead cargo ship captains, commercial fishermen and recreational boaters out of harm's way.迷你倉出租When they go on the blink, transportation officials call on the ANTs.A dozen men and women at Baltimore's Coast Guard station make up the Aids to Navigation Team, responsible for maintaining buoys, markers and lighthouses. They change light bulbs, scrape and paint metal, and bang out dents caused by sloppy seamanship.The team ensures that range markers -- powerful beams of light that act like runway lights for freighters and tankers approaching the port of Baltimore -- are in the best location to catch the attention of bay pilots. They also help recreational boaters navigate the "skinny water," shallow areas in the bay and entrances to tributaries, by deploying red and green numbered buoys that bob like empty cans.And they do it all on an annual budget of $104,000 that covers everything from office supplies to the lamps in the lights."They're the little team that can and does," said Mark O'Malley, who was the Coast Guard's captain in charge of the port of Baltimore before becoming head of the state's boating services program. "What ANT does is not glorious. Nobody notices them. But without them, we wouldn't be as safe."A 2011 University of Maryland study estimated the annual impact of recreational boating on the Maryland economy to be about $2 billion and responsible for 35,077 direct and indirect jobs.Port officials praised the Coast Guard teams as vital to the port's success. The port is directly responsible for about 14,630 jobs and supports 108,000 related jobs, according to state estimates. It generates $3 billion in wages and salary and more than $300 million in state and local taxes."They are essential to keeping our channels marked and operable for the safe passage of the massive cargo and cruise ships that result in the port being one of Maryland's largest economic generators year after year," said Dave Blazer, the Maryland Port Administration's chief of dredged material management.The Baltimore team covers Maryland's portion of the bay with the help of smaller units stationed on the Potomac River and at Crisfield. The state Department of Natural Resources hydrographic unit based on Kent Island is responsible for speed limit and hazard signs, smaller orange-and-white buoys and markers that warn of environmentally sensitive areas.On a recent steamy day, Baltimore's ANTs set off from Curtis Bay for Back River to check on what the maritime community calls a "red nun" buoy, a conical-shaped marker on the right edge of the channel that boaters should pass on the left. (A "green can" buoy marks the left-channel edge.)"You never know what you're going to pull up," said Senior Petty Officer Chris Beahr, a lanky man with an easy smile who commands t儲存倉e boat. "Trees, anchors. We've pulled up a whole tackle shop of lures and fishing gear."And the team never knows until it gets there what is causing a buoy to malfunction. It might be bullet holes from a vandal's gun or an osprey nest covering a solar panel."In the last three months, ANT Baltimore has had three aids destroyed because they were hit by boats," Beahr said.The most spectacular crash, he said, involved a buoy off Kent Island that was struck so hard, a 25-foot section of stainless-steel handrail was jammed into the buoy 10 feet above the waterline."It wasn't reported," he said, shrugging. "It didn't do much of anything to the light, but it did plenty of damage to the boat."Boatswain's Mate 1 Michael Maiocco points the bow toward the Key Bridge. The vessel is a pug-nosed, 49-foot Buoy Utility Stern Loading boat -- called Busl -- built in 2001 at the Curtis Bay Coast Guard Yard.It's just 19 miles to Back River Buoy No. 2, located near Hart-Miller Island. But getting there will take a big chunk of the morning. Busl's top speed is 10 knots, or 11.5 mph.The lack of speed is a running joke on board. When Maiocco goes to full throttle, members of the crew lean backward as if on a cigarette boat and laugh.The Busl compensates for its lack of get-up-and-go with the muscle power to haul 2.25 water-logged tons onto the deck for inspection.A red binder contains all the maintenance paperwork on Buoy No. 2 back to the early 1990s. The marker is known to drift a bit off its station -- 35 yards last year. And something is causing the chain that anchors the buoy to the bottom -- 30 feet long and as thick as a man's wrist -- to wear too quickly.All of the information also is logged into the ANT computer, which helps track the intervals between service calls. That work flow can be rearranged when bay pilots and boaters report something amiss."We rely on them a lot," Beahr said. "When an aid is reported as not working as advertised, we determine how severe the discrepancy is and respond anywhere between immediately and within 30 days."On the way to Back River, crew members check other markers with binoculars and make notes.Buoy No. 2 takes less than an hour to lift onto the deck, clean and inspect. The chain is still chafing, so ANT will continue to check on it while looking for remedies. By noon, No. 2 is back in the water, and the Busl has turned for home.But off North Point State Park, a crew member notices that a range light marking an approach to the Patapsco River is out. There's a groan. It wasn't that long ago that the team replaced the underwater cable powering the light after it was run over by a recreational boater.Maiocco reaches for his phone and calls in the work order.One day is ending, but the next day's work already is taking shape.candy.thomson@baltsun.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Baltimore Sun Visit The Baltimore Sun at .baltimoresun.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉沙田

In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage market segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. Continued weakness in domestic and worldwide macro-economic conditions, related disruptions in world credit and equity markets, and the resulting economic uncertainty for our customers, as well as the storage and converged networking market as a whole, has and could continue to adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to predict our future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following: faster than anticipated declines in the storage networking market, slower than expected growth of the converged networking market or the failure of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems; our dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of our products or our OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the network, server and storage technology markets; the variability in the level of our backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of our customers; any inadequacy of our intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire us; proxy contests or the activities of activist investors; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities, natural disasters, and any resulting disruption in our supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in our business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of our products; delays in product development; our reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; our ability to benefit from our research and development activities; our dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and any resulting regulatory changes on our business. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, under the caption "Risk Factors."All trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies.Photo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/NE81278LOGOEmulex CorporationWeb site: .emulex.com/新蒲崗迷你倉

Bus crash in Italy kills 38 people
AN Italian tour bus plowed through cars, crashed through the side wall of a highway bridge and plunged into a ravine, killing at least 38 people, authorities said yesterday.迷你倉Rescuers wielding electric saws cut through the twisted wreckage of the bus looking for survivors overnight, and state radio quoted a local police chief as saying the bus driver was among the dead.The bus lost control near the town of Monteforte Irpino in Irpinia, a largely agricultural area about 60 kilometers inland from Naples and about 250 kilometers south of Rome, hitting several cars before plunging some 30 meters off a viaduct on Sunday night.It was not immediately clear why the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, but prosecutors were investigating technical problems and had ordered an autopsy on the driver.Italy's Prime Minister Enrico Letta described the crash as a "dramatic moment" for his entire country."We are deeply pained by this tragedy that has touched many families and many children," Letta said from Athens, where he met with Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.A reporter for Naples daily Il Mattino told Sky TG24 TV from the scene that some witnesses said the bus had been going at a normal speed on the downhill str文件倉tch of the highway when it suddenly veered and started hitting cars. Some witnesses thought they heard a noise as if the bus had blown a tire."All possible causes are under examination. It could be a combination of causes," Avellino Highway Police Chief Salvatore Imparato said.The bus was carrying a group of weekend holidaymakers from the town of Pozzuoli, on the coast east of Naples. The group arrived at a hotel on Friday afternoon, and spent the weekend visiting the spa and an early home of Padre Pio, a late mystic monk popular among Catholics, Michele Montagna, the manager of the hotel, told Sky TG24.Relatives visited a makeshift morgue in a middle school to identify the dead yesterday. The bus, meanwhile, was towed from the site to be examined for possible malfunctions.Firefighters extracted 37 bodies from the wreckage. Most of the dead were found inside the mangled bus, which lay on its side, while a few of the victims were pulled out from underneath the wreckage. One person died at the hospital.At least 10 people, including five children, remained hospitalized yesterday.Cars that were hit by the bus stood on the highway. One car's rear was completely crumpled, while another car was smashed on its side.存倉
