【本報訊】內地假香港記者證越做越假,迷你倉有人以「香港特別行政區新聞處」名義,發出官方認證「新聞記者證」,但錯漏百出,先是將政府新聞處中英文名稱搞錯,再而是中國和香港英文名稱都錯。政府新聞處強調從沒發出所謂「新聞記者證」,已將事件交警方跟進。一名在內地營商的港人,早前認識一名聲稱香港「會展經濟報社」記者,對方向他展示一本「新聞記者證」,聲稱是官方簽發,但該商人懷疑真確性。該記者證類似護照,與內地新聞出版總署發出的記者證相似,封面印有國徽和Press Card,但「新聞記者證」五字卻是繁體字。揭開內頁有一個香港區徽和印有「香港特別行政區新聞處」及英文名稱「The Information Service of mini storageong Kong Special Administrative Region」。港無官方簽發制度「新聞處」官方全名為政府新聞處和Information Services Department,該記者證兩項都錯;同一頁的中國英文全稱People's Republic of China中,People's首字母錯寫成細楷p;每頁香港英文全稱中的Region,都印成眾數Regions。律師梁永鏗指出,任何人使用該虛假記者證,會觸犯行使虛假文件罪,最高可被判監14年。香港的記者證由傳媒機構自行簽發,沒有官方簽發制度,近年不時有人自創官方機構,收逾千元簽發香港記者證。在內地,記者可享不少福利,出席記者會可獲利是。 self storage

【本報訊】外界一度看淡銷情的蘋果公司新手機iPhone 5s昨在港開售,儲存倉幾個官方銷售點仍人龍依舊,炒價亦每部至少炒高數百元,當中金色版本更炒高近倍至逾萬元,每部轉手至少賺四千元。大批內地及南亞裔的收機黨在銷售點外「收機」,但不少人卻「轉戰」收機價較高的先達廣場,收機價短時間內因供求而調整。不過,同日推出的iPhone 5c卻「唔爭氣」,被指規格欠新意,回收價竟低於官方售價一至二百元,更有店舖怕淪為蟹貨而拒收。不少市民到先達廣場轉售iPhone 5s。(梁鵬威攝)昨日早上近八時,百多名早前網上訂機的市民到中環蘋果專門店輪候取機,場外高峰期逾十名炒家「搜捕」成功購機者,當中不乏內地及南亞裔人士。金色版本的iPhone 5s被指外表華而不俗,炒家全城撲「金」,林先生是少數成功購得兩部金色iPhone 5s的市迷你倉,他直言取機後不斷有炒家出價約九千四百元求轉售,但他的目標價為每部一萬元。由於供不應求,他約半小時後終如願以每部一萬元即場放售兩部手機,淨賺八千多元。收機店舖擠滿人約十時後,陸續有人到先達廣場放機,不少人手攜蘋果專門店的膠袋四處探問回收價,多間收機店擠滿人群,不時有手持「一大疊銀紙」的人笑容滿面離開。不過,iPhone 5s炒價時有變動,以原價六千三百八十八元的太空灰32GB版本為例,早上十時許炒至七千三百元,但其後每小時跌二百元,中午只收六千九百元,但金色版64GB因全城缺貨,炒價曾一小時內升一千元至一萬二千元,更盛傳有人出價一萬五千元收機。旺角先達廣場手機店G-World Mobile的負責人劉志剛指,炒新iPhone情況較預期激烈,相信與內地零售價較貴有關,又指金色版本供應短缺,估計炒風能持續一個月。迷你倉最平

Source: The Star, Shelby, N.迷你倉C.Sept. 20--Reliable, solid and consistent are the words Dr. Bob Lamb used to describe his friend of 51 years, Dr. Lansford Jolley.Jolley, 86, a community leader in Boiling Springs, historian and a former professor at Gardner-Webb University, died Sept. 16. The family celebrated his life at a funeral service Thursday, and burial was Friday morning."Some people seem to be up and down or struggling, but the natural for Lansford was a smile," said Lamb, former chair of the GWU religion department and founding Dean of the Divinity School."His faith was solid and consistent. It would be interesting what kind of church you could build if you had it full of people like Lansford," he said.While Jolley was a faithful church member, he was also an intregal part of the GWU campus, said Dr. Robert Earle Morgan, former professor of French and mathematics."Lansford Jolley was one of the kindest, most considerate, and caring persons I have ever known," Morgan said in an email. "I cannot even imagine the Gardner-Webb that I have known and loved since 1967 without his having been a vital part of the institution. He is truly one of the legends of Gardner-Webb."'Incredible loss for Gardner-Webb'Jolley had the distinction of being the only Gardner-Webb professor born, reared and retired in Boiling Springs. And in 1997, Gardner-Webb honored him with an honorary doctorate of humanities degree in recognition of his lifetime of service to the university and to the community.Because he was a native to Cleveland County, Jolley knew many details about the founding of GWU and its history. His knowledge will be missed, said Noel T. Manning, the university's chief communications officer."It is an incredible loss for Gardner-Webb," Manning said. "If anybody asked me about the history of Gardner-Webb, I would always go to Lansford. You could ask him anything about the history and he would bring up all these amazing things he knew."His wife, Cothenia, is a former archivist for the university, and together they worked to preserve Gardner-Webb's history, Manning said.'Faithful and wise steward'Jolley shared his knowledge in the book, "Dreaming, Daring, Doing ... The Story of Gardner-Webb University," published in 1997. The book recorded the university's history from the time it received a high school charter in 1905.But you won't find his name listed as the author."If you look in the index of that book, Lansford Jolley's name is listed on one page only, an appendix," Dr. Tracy Jessup said in his remarks for the funeral service that he emailed to The Star. "There on page 155, his name is listed simply among those who received honorary doctorates from Gardner-Webb and alongside other faculty emeriti."Jessup, vice president for Christian life and service and senior minister to the university, also said in his remarks: "... Gardner-Webb University is the outstanding Christian university she is today, due in no small part to the doing of a gentle giant named Lansford Jolley who was born, raised, and retired in the shadow o迷你倉最平 a small Christian college in Boiling Springs. And in all his doing, Lansford Jolley was a faithful and wise steward of Christian higher education at Gardner-Webb University. And for this we say, 'To God be the glory.'"Jolley's love of history and writing led him to produce other books, including a book of his favorite short stories and a novel. His history of the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association, "Visions of Faith," received the prestigious Ethel W. Twiford Religious History Book Award from the N.C. Society of Historians in 2002.Copies of the history book are still available at the Baptist Association office on Wyke Road in Shelby, said the Rev. Keith Dixon, Associational missionary."The book was a real labor of love for Lansford and told the story of how God has used the Baptist churches of Cleveland County as they have worked together to touch lives and meet needs for the cause of Christ," Dixon said in an email to The Star.'He filled the room with warmth'As much as writing, Jolley enjoyed teaching young people. He retired in 1992 from GWU after 35 years of teaching and 34 years as chairman of the Department of Social Sciences. At GWU, he established the criminal justice program, chaired numerous committees, and served as faculty marshal.Jolley had an intuitive rapport with his students, Lamb said."When he was presiding or leading or relating to students he could make it look so easy and natural," Lamb said.To describe Jolley's relationship with his students, Jessup quoted one of Jolley's former students, Ray Hardee. Hardee, a pastor and former GWU employee, said about him: "Lansford filled the room with warmth that wrapped around like a warm blanket on a cold day. His humility was disarming in places where pride is more common. Every time I think of him, I smile."Dixon said many students remember Jolley for the marriage and family class he taught at GWU."Lansford loved young people and always had a comical story or joke to tell," he said. "I still hear fellow classmates talk about what Lansford taught in his class."Community leaderJolley was a 63-year member and past president of the Boiling Springs Lions Club. He received the Lion of the Year Award in 1976. He also served as board member and fundraiser for Crawley Memorial Hospital, chaired the Board of Elections in the town of Boiling Springs, chaired the planning committee for the 75th anniversary of the town in 1976, and participated for many years in the town's Christmas parade.He served Cleveland County as a member of the board of directors of the Department of Social Services, and also the United Way. He had been a member of the Cleveland County Historical Association and also served his country in the Navy.Jolley is survived by his wife of 63 years, Cothenia Jones Jolley; daughter, Lana Jolley Henkel and husband Russell W. Henkel; and grandsons, Jeremy and Jonathan Henkel, all of Boiling Springs.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Star (Shelby, N.C.)

今天是中秋節翌日,迷你倉最平俗稱追月,原來秋天已過了一半,在這個季節最當紅的主角就是楓葉。楓葉之美不僅是紅色的葉,還有金黃色奪目耀眼,在一紅一黃相間下,漫山遍野都換上新衣,十分壯觀。首爾市內亦有楓葉點綴,葉子跌在路上,灑滿一地,感覺相當浪漫。到了晚上,在射燈的映照下,又是另一種美。在公園內飲杯咖啡,於寧靜環境中看看楓葉,聽聽鳥聲,是最佳的度假享受。韓國首爾是港人熱門旅遊點,除韓風大盛外,物價比東京平,還可選擇乘廉航,票價平逾四成,一年多飛數次,也能承擔得起。現在不只一家廉航飛首爾,有更多選擇,某廉航機上仍提供小食、飲料及餐膳,還有二十公斤行李費,還是直航,航班時間也相當理想,有不同時段。選坐廉航再選一間平價酒店,這個配搭省到的錢,夠買多幾件時裝、手信啦。昌德宮大顯紅楓首爾已換上秋裝,到處都見到紅色、金色的楓葉,數量不及韓國其他地方,但首爾勝在賞楓葉之餘,又可瘋狂購物,迷你倉仕至愛!想欣賞至優雅的紅葉,非去昌德宮不可,1997年12月,聯合國教科文組織已把昌德宮列入世界文化遺產,宮內遍植楓樹,點綴於亭台樓閣之間,景致醉人。首爾愈來愈受歡迎,皆因是購物天堂,南大門、東大門是熟識購物景點,我推介大家去首爾宏益大學區,這兒有一個跳蚤市場,擺賣各式充滿韓風的飾物、小玩意及精品等。這處充滿濃郁藝術氣氛,隨處可見繪畫攤位、手工藝展品及年青人獨奏或樂隊表演,值得花時間一一細味。世界燈節倡多元文化首爾還有一個在清溪川舉行的「首爾世界燈節」,全區都張燈結綵,五光十色。節日鼓勵在首爾生活,擁有不同文化與背景的市民、多元文化家庭、大學生、外國人發揮創意與巧思,製作並展示具有獨特創意與異國風情的燈籠,進而營造能讓所有人相互了解不同文化之差異,感受共鳴的溝通交流的平台。網址:.travelzoo.com.hk撰文、攝影 Travelzoo香港總編輯 潘蔚能儲存

聯儲局主席伯南克,迷你倉再一次讓投資者「估佢唔到」。昨日聯儲局凌晨決定維持目前每月850億美元的買債規模,有關決定即時為全球市場注入動力,不論是股市、債市或是商品市場均全面造好,其中金價昨日更爆升逾4%,每安士金價企穩1,360美元,變相為投資者送上一份中秋節禮物。不過聯儲局的決定背後的理據,為當地經濟復甦前景不明朗,同時亦讓本港財金官員認為,日後的不明朗及風險因素正在增加。或許投資者狂歡過後,必須要意識到派對總有完結的一刻。 本報記者綜合報道聯儲局在昨日凌晨議息會議後發出聲明,指出美國經濟自7月份的議息會議後正溫和改善,當地就業情況亦出現好轉,可是失業率成屬高企,同時按揭利率上升及政府的財政政策亦影響當地經濟增長。聯儲局又指出,當地通脹仍遠低於2%的目標水平。聯儲局決定維持現時每月850億美元買債規,主要是希望對當地經濟情況作出進一步觀察。通過現時的買債規模,以壓低長期利率,以促使當地經濟出現更強勁復甦。聯儲局又指出,會在未來的議息會議上,以判斷何時縮減買債規模,並重申縮減買債與否並無前設條件,最後仍視乎聯儲局內一眾委員對當地經濟前景的預測。市場反應正面聯儲局的決定即時對資產市場產生刺激作用,金價抽升逾4%,促使在本港上市的金股全面造好,招金礦業(1818)升逾11%。歐、美股市同樣處於強勢。其中道瓊斯指數於昨日早段升3點, 報15,680點,標準普爾指數升0.69點, 報1,726點,納斯達克指數升9.7點,報3,793點。雖然資本市場對聯儲局的決定反應正面,但是本港財金官員卻抱持審慎。署理財政司司長陳家強指出,聯儲局並無決定減少買債,主要是當局察覺到當地經濟前景不明朗,因此採取自存倉關動作,又指出量化寬鬆(QE)規模龐大,若要退出量化寬鬆,如何向市場發出清楚發出一個正確信息,讓市場作出準備是有困難。因此市場預期的退市在9月並無發生,認為日後出現的風險及不明朗因素增加。陳家強又指出政府一向對量化寬鬆措施保持警戒之心,又指出量化寬鬆對全球市場,包括本港樓市產生風險因素。他又指出目前美國經濟數據參差,難以預期會否在年底時增加退市規模。本港樓市風險或增在談及聯儲局的決定對政府採取的「辣招」影響時,陳家強指出現時政府對樓市推出需求管理措施,又指出美國為全球市場產生的不明朗因素仍存在,因此本港情況是不能鬆懈,通過「辣招」對市場產生冷卻作用,有效地抗衡由量化寬鬆對市場帶來的亢奮。他又期望與「辣招」相關的草案條例可以及早通過。被問及日前長江實業(001)主席李嘉誠指出,「辣招」對樓市產生的負面影響,將於明年呈現時,陳家強指出市民要一直關注市場情況,又指出有關措施內已有調整機制,讓財政政司長可以按經濟情況作出調整。同時重申希望相關草案可以早日通過。金管局的發言人則指出,留意到美國聯儲局維持現行貨幣政策的決定,這反映美國經濟復甦的動力仍然有待觀察。同時香港經濟基調相對良好,到目前為止,當局未見資金淨流出港元,港元匯率和利率亦大致保持穩定。難以預測資金日後的流向,在這大環境下,銀行、企業和個人都應小心管理流動性和利率風險,避免過度借貸。此外瑞銀發表報告指出,聯儲局的決定對亞洲市場現有條件並無帶來改變,又預期美國將於從明年1月開始逐步收水。�豐的報告則指出,減少買債的計劃只會延遲3個月。天利則預期,聯儲局在開始收水時,同時亦會就加息向市場提供更清晰指引,以及過程會更傾向鴒派的態度。迷你倉
