（登嘉樓 瓜拉勿述19日訊）馬華署理總會長拿督斯里廖中萊以埃及換政府的經歷為借鏡，文件倉強調政治的改革必須要有方向，否則可能會付出慘痛的教訓。他說，人民不能聽信行動黨的改革呼吁，因為沒有正確方向的改革，是災難性的改變，人民沒有美好的未來。“埃及的旅遊業本來旺盛，每年遊客達1200萬人次，但是經過人民推翻政府、穆爾西政府上台後，埃及的遊客人數跌剩70萬人。“當地人民在今年6月又再次推翻穆爾西政府，現在埃及由軍方接管政權，這就是沒有方向改革所帶來的問題。”斥行動黨誤導華社他週四晚出席瓜拉勿述舉辦的一馬晚宴上致詞時說，505大選的激情過了，華社是時候思考如何確保這個國家擁有更美好的未來。“505大選時，華裔選民以為投票行動黨就能換政府。但是行動黨騙了我們的選存倉後，卻沒有辦法換政府。行動黨誤導華社，以華制華，打擊馬華，削弱了馬華在執政黨的力量。”他批評行動黨在505大選得到華社支持力量後，卻依舊以過去的心態，沒有設法來幫華社的發展。“相反地，行動黨以反對黨的作風及心態，把所有的問題都推給馬華，所有的事情都要求馬華去解決，但華人把選票給了行動黨。”他告訴出席者，馬華在505大選後，目前正在進行改革，同時國陣及巫統也必須進行改革，以確保國陣正真代表多元彩色及種族，推動公平社會。他呼吁華裔在瞭解國陣及民聯後，作出正確的選擇。“民聯三黨不能取得共識，三個政黨各懷鬼胎，在治國理念或處理民生問題等課題上，都不能取得共識，這樣的一個陣線對國家的未來是沒有保障的。”【專頁：大選線上@選後追擊】【大事件：登嘉樓州議席補選】;自存倉

今年2月份蘋果傳出推出智能手表—iWatch，儲存倉預計今年底明年初上市，該設備支援Retina觸摸屏幕，擁有Facetime、WiFi、藍牙、Airplay等功能，內置的iOS系統能將其與任何iOS設備進行交接，也能在智能設備上對其進行設置。報告指蘋果還未具備開發能力今年2月，《紐約時報》報道稱Apple公司正在「測試」類似手表的新設備。據一些坊間的研究報告中指出，蘋果可能還沒有充足的資源來開發iOS版iWatch，因為作為iOS 7開發工作的一部分，他們仍需要對這款操作系統進行修改，相關組件尚不成熟，因此iWatch的生產要等到明年下半年才能開始。100人的秘密任務據估計，iWatch可能會配置1.5至2吋顯示屏，同時採用生物識別安全技術，這項技術可能是蘋果以3.56億美元收購AuthenTec的成果。傳聞甚至蘋果組建了100人左右的團隊，專門開發這種設備，還有報道稱Samsung、Google和迷你倉沙田軟等公司也都在開發智能手表產品。幻想戴上智能手表的感覺作為蘋果的粉絲，不少用家都對智能手表感興趣，根據分析機構顯示，假如你擁有iWatch，每日將會平均查看達95次，這就是蘋果推出iWatch的原因之一。目前不少用家每日平均查看智能手機達150次，其中以查看訊息如Whatsapp、SMS等的次數最高，其次是打電話及看時間。假如將手機換作是 iWatch，用家想查看會更為方便，原因是不需要拿出手機，而如何在細小的智能手表屏幕上查看訊息，大家都估計是改良過的Siri，可以讀出或輸入訊息作回覆。iOS 7為iWatch做準備？蘋果在iOS 7作業系統集成了很多先進的藍牙技術，其中最受關注是蘋果的通知中心服務、保存及恢復服務，該服務會確定一個程式是否應該被終止，如果需要繼續保持運行的話，iOS 7會讓這款程式繼續保持；這也意味�低耗能的藍牙設備，比如說智能手表及健康監控器可以與iOS裝置時時刻刻保持連接。迷你倉價錢

□本報記者 張鵬去年4月，新蒲崗迷你倉集合了智能手機所有功能的穀歌眼鏡Project Glass推出時，其未來眼鏡的概念設計賺足了全世界的眼球。今年，Project Glass迎來了新的競爭者。日前，來自威尼斯的廠商推出的一款名為GlassUp的智能眼鏡，並正式登陸�籌平台Indiegogo，來為自己的上市募集資金。如果該項目能夠募得超過15萬美元的資金，一款比起Project Glass便宜不少的智能眼鏡就將在明年上市。如果GlassUp能夠成功上市，它相較于穀歌眼鏡具有更加開放和時尚兩大優勢。業內人士指出，智能眼鏡的受歡迎程度最終取決于它的智能應用，也就是哪些功能可以吸引住消費者。強手如林 命運多舛GlassUp還沒有正式上市，眼下智能眼鏡市場已是強手如林。除了穀歌Project Glass，法國Laster、日本Olympus也加入穀歌挑起的“智能眼鏡”的戰局。2013年4月，穀歌僅用一年的時間就使得該款產品具備了初步的應用功能，預售價為1500美元。據穀歌提供的官方參數，該款智能眼鏡配備了500萬像素的攝像頭和藍牙。眼鏡操控借助聲音指令，相關信息會出現在內置液晶顯示屏上，像素相當于在2.4米距離外看25寸顯示屏。智能眼鏡在接入網絡後，可以使用導航和短消息服務。法國Laster發佈的一款名為“EyePhone”光學智能眼鏡，利用“EnhancedViewTM”技術，相當于將106寸以上的大尺寸視頻影像投影在距離用戶3米的空間中。Laster還為EyePhone在視頻眼鏡的基礎上引入了增強現實技術，用戶在使用Eyephone眼鏡的同時又可以與社交圈保持互動，瀏覽、分享和討論相關話題；日本Olympus發佈的MEG4.0，其顯示屏可以通過藍牙與智能手機或者平板電板對接。該屏幕位於攜帶者視線的正上方，利用內置加速計這一關鍵技術感受人的動作並做出相應的反應。事實上，GlassUp自身還有著多舛的命運。早在穀歌眼鏡曝光之前，GlassUp公司就已開始著手設計一款內置抬頭顯示器的智能眼鏡，它們曾經為意大利空軍開發過抬頭顯示儀，所以公司的技術能力也不容小覷。然而，穀歌眼鏡的橫空出世給GlassUp項目帶來了重大的打mini storage，好在經歷了漫長的調整後這一項目有了開始募資的轉機。後起不一定後進要使用GlassUp、Project Glass這些智能眼鏡產品，前提是用戶必須佩戴在頭上，這意味使用者必須改變多年養成的習慣。盡管GlassUp與Project Glass類似，但兩者仍有許多不同。譬如，GlassUp並不具備穀歌眼鏡大多數最具競爭力的功能。GlassUp基本款沒有攝像頭，實用性上大打折扣。同時，它的黑白顯示屏使其看上去更像是Pebble智能手錶的競爭對手。值得注意的是，GlassUp會在佩帶者的視野中央顯示內容，並且不會阻礙用戶的日常生活。如果你正在和某人面對面交流的話，系統通知將會出現在對方胸前的位置。實際上，GlassUp與Project Glass採用了不同的技術理念。它並不集成處理器部件，不具備自身的蜂窩網絡通信能力，以藍牙作為連接紐帶，GlassUp充分借助了用戶手中智能手機的強大處理能力。簡單說，GlassUp不能夠被定義為“智能眼鏡”，稱其為“眼鏡顯示器”更加合適。GlassUp公司CEO Francesco Giartosio認為，時尚是他的制勝法寶，GlassUp的外形不像穀歌眼鏡那樣突兀，而是更加貼近傳統，並不是每個人都希望被貼上“極客”的標簽。另一個好消息是攝像頭將不被集成，今後帥哥美女們走在大街上的安全感又增加了幾分。拋開時尚因素不談，如果GlassUp能夠成功上市它相較于穀歌眼鏡的另一大優勢在於更加開放：它擁有一套開放的手機客戶端接口，能夠支持多種操作系統的智能手機。這一切都意味著無限的可能。與穀歌眼鏡的發展策略相反，第三方開發者可以盡情發揮他們的想象力，為GlassUp加入更多強大的功能。曾有咨詢公司預計，2013年全球智能眼鏡出貨量將同比增長150%，達到12.4萬副，其增長動力將主要來自眼鏡軟件開發者想要拓展這一新方向的決心。2014年全球智能眼鏡出貨量將增長值250%。到2016年，包括全球智能眼鏡出貨量將達到660萬副。但也不排除會出現較為糟糕的情況，即眼鏡應用的研發者未能從需求角度吸引住消費者。營銷人士指出，這一切也都最終取決于眼鏡的智能應用，也就是哪些功能可以吸引住消費者。self storage

Through an analysis of his leadership style, organisations can also enjoy similar success as Manchester UnitedSureish NathanVice-PresidentCenter for Creative Leadership in Asia PacificAFTER 26 years in the hot seat of one of the most successful football clubs in history, Sir Alex Ferguson has finally decided to bow out of the beautiful game.迷你倉 Since taking over from Ron Atkinson in 1986, Ferguson has guided Manchester United to thirteen English Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League titles in Europe. This mean feat was accomplished not just by simply coaching his players through the years, but in the manner how he managed and led the club. In other words, it was his unique leadership style that continued to propel the club to greater heights.Much has been spoken of the 71 year-old's leadership style - many players, ex-players and fans attribute Ferguson's highly successful reign at the club to it. Whether you're running a football club or a multi-million-dollar MNC, the hallmark of a great leader is one that successfully manages to listen and communicate to all stakeholders across all sectors, while at the same time keeping them motivated and hungry for more success.The complexity of our environment increasingly calls for collaboration between various stakeholders who each hold a different aspect of the reality and many of whom must themselves adapt and grow to meet fast-changing realities. The challenge that many companies face is to create a collective understanding of the purpose of the organisation and its values. In his first months at Manchester United, Ferguson spent most of his time interviewing everyone from the players, and all the staff at the Club, to the supporters and the various stakeholders. He wanted to fully understand what Manchester United stands for so that he could work towards an alignment of all stakeholders to grow its legacy in the very tradition that has inspired its global success.In this light, it is important to highlight and remind the organisation's employees of its culture. Ferguson has upheld the club's history and winning traditions, and has never been shy to make sure no player feels as though they deserve to play for the club. Rather, they were made to feel it's a privilege to wear the club's colours, and not a right.This has also been the process of how Ferguson has managed his millionaire star personalities on and off the pitch. Paramount to this has been Ferguson's drive to create a "one (United) team" value system where everyone from the players (at every level) and the coaches, to the backroom, grounds, catering and operations staff, are all seen as integral cogs to the team's success. To this end, during daily training sessions, the youth squad and the senior players warm-up together to foster this "one-team" attitude.Similarly, the hallmark of a successful company is one where employees feel a strong sense of inclusion and belonging, and put the organisation's achievements before personal glory, because they are aligned with its traditions, purpose and values.To this day, former players such as David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo often talk about how Ferguson has cultivated a thirst of winning at Manchester United even after all that the club has achieved. The manager's passion for the sport and hunger for increased success have motivated the players to continually excel. Opponents have often seen the club as an unbeatable force purely because of this winning mindset. While being able to compete on tactics and players, getting this mindset has proved to be an intangible challenge, a critical element to being at the top of your game physically and mentally as a team.Organisations from different industries can learn plenty from this simple example 文件倉 a passionate and inspired leader will certainly set an example for his subordinates. As an employee, it's hard not to be motivated and inspired when the leader himself demonstrates, in all facets of his communication, the drive and passion to take the organisation further.Lauded for his ability to foster a culture of success and dedication throughout the organisation, Ferguson also embraces what The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) refers to as the networks of leadership, where he identifies influential players in his team and encourages them to drive the winning culture through. Over the years, the club has seen inspirational leaders such as Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs and more recently Nemanja Vidic take on the mantle, even when they were not captaining the team. Organisations can follow suit by getting away from picturing leadership as a position or role, but rather, a process of engaging key influencers across the enterprise to drive inspiration and passion through to all levels of the organisation.Long-term talent strategyGreat talent is at the heart of every successful organisation. In the increasingly youth-driven football industry, where the life-cycles of players near its end when they reach their early 30s, its time-sensitive nature makes building a long-term talent strategy even more critical.When Alex Ferguson took the helm at Manchester United 26 years ago, one of the first strategies he put in place was to completely overhaul the club's youth academy and its scouting process for young talent nationally and globally. Ferguson blooded an entire generation of players who rose through the club's youth system to win back-to-back league titles in 1996 and 1997. Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Gary and Phil Neville were just some of the talent that successfully blended with senior players to help them acquire the experience they needed to succeed. It was precisely this "mentoring" formula of blending youth and experience that won them the legendary treble in 1999.Just as his players come and go, Ferguson has adapted the club for long-term success and longevity, building and rebuilding teams throughout his tenure at Manchester United. He has focused on building a football club as opposed to a football team, and talent has always been a long-term strategy built around key players in his team. No stranger to change, he has evolved the way that United has played its football over time to meet the demands of the game, and adapted the advancements in sports science and technology to get the best out of his players and teams.A football club is no different from an organisation that produces products and services. If football was a product or a service of entertainment, the orchestra of stars that Ferguson has conducted on the football pitch for the last 26 years has delighted audiences globally, making Manchester United one of the wealthiest sports team in the world. Beyond that, the emotional connection he has created between the millions of fans all over the world and the club will be a legacy that will last for generations.The similarities between Manchester United and any organisation can be discussed at length, but there is no denying the level of the club's success during Ferguson's time is one that many wish to emulate. Through a thorough analysis of his leadership style, organisations can also enjoy similar success. After all, just as a football club is only as good as its players and everyone in it, an organisation is only as good as its employees as a collective. Organisational cultures, traditions, and values that drive success are only possible with the people at the centre of those organisations, and the right leadership to galvanise them as a team.存倉

　　【本報訊】國美電器（00493）再發盈喜，文件倉料上半年轉虧為盈，第二季純利更會按季上升逾倍。受消息刺激，該股股價昨升逾11%，收報0.79元。不過有分析指出，國美前景仍然困難。　　國美指，盈利改善主要由於上半年銷售收入增加，以及去年與關連人士合營電子商務完成後，關連人士將承擔電子商務的40%虧損。　　然而，有分析員認為，內地家電市場需求增長疲弱，國美網下商店經營難免受到影響。國美早前預期，今年全年整體銷售面積將較去年縮減5萬平方米，年內10至20存倉新店將集中在二級城市。電子商務 未產生規模效應　　至於被寄予厚望的電子商務，由於競爭激烈，一直處於虧損狀態，拖累集團復甦進度。有分析指，相比起對手京東商城及蘇寧的網店，國美電商業務的規模仍然很小，未能產生規模效應。不過，國美仍然對電子商務充滿信心，首席財務官方巍上月表示，最遲年底前電子商貿業務可實現單月盈虧平衡。　　去年上半年，國美錄得銷售收入231.3億元（人民幣，下同），並錄得5.01億元虧損。而今年首季收入約123.4億元，賺7,633萬元。自存倉

突破 3GFlops/W！美國一間大學把全球超級電腦 500 強排行榜資料重新整理，迷你倉新蒲崗變成 Green500 排行榜，檢視上榜的超級電腦之「效能功耗比」。結果發現，來自意大利的 Eurora 奪冠，而全球最快的超級電腦中國天河 2 號，只排第 32 位。著重功秏效能比最新一份 Green 500 排行榜於 7 月初發布，排名首位的是 Eurotech 組裝的 Eurora 超級電腦。該電腦使用八核心 Intel Xeon E5-2687W 處理器，並配 2 個特製的 NVIDIA Tesla K20X CUDA 處理器。不過，這部電腦於 Top 500 超級電腦的效能排名僅為 467 位，但卻成為每 Watt 效能最高的超級電腦。數字顯示，它的運作功耗為 30,700 Watt，即每 Watt 效能達到 3.209GFlops，對比去年 Green 500 的排名榜，最高每 Watt 效能提升 28%。排名第 2 的 Aurora Tigon 亦同樣來自 Eurotech，並採用相同架構，主要於效率方面比 Eurora 略遜，每 Watt 效能減至 3.180GFlops。首破 3GFlops/W 大關據了解，今次排名首度有超級電腦的每 Watt 效能高於 3GFlops 水平，反映新款硬件的效能功耗比不斷作出提升。在 Green 500 首 2 迷你倉出租超級電腦皆使用 NVIDIA K20X 作加速運算外，第 3 名及第 4 名的超級電腦，分別以 Intel Xeon Phi 5110P 及 AMD FirePro S10000 作加速運算。當中第 3 名的超級電腦，為去年 11 月 Green 500 排行榜冠軍。至於在 Top 500 超級電腦排名首位的中國天河 2 號，於 Green500 排行榜中只排第 32 位，雖然它有強大運算效能，但功耗亦達到 17,808,000 Watt，令每 Watt 效能只有 1.902GFlops，與排名首位的每 Watt 效能比，相差接近 68%。受企業關注目前許多需要超級電腦的企業，愈來愈關注其能源耗用表現，因會影響企業的生產成本，而 Green500 排行榜則為他們帶來具參考價值的指標。該排名榜由美國 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University 的 2 位教授負責整理，每年大約更新 2 至 3 次。數據的計算方式，將以各款超級電腦運算《Linpack》時所錄得的效能，及記錄運作功耗，以得出每 Watt 效能比。值得留意的是，部分超級電腦除了擁有較高每 Watt 效能比外，更會利用運作時產生的廢熱，為民居在冬天時提供熱力，盡用每一分資源。text/Kin∣edit/Wesley∣art/David儲存倉
