Taiwan company uses movie star to grab bigger shareBy SHEN JINGTINGshenjingting@chinadaily.迷你倉價錢com.cnTaiwan-based HTC Corp aims to become one of the top three smartphone vendors in the Chinese market in two to three years through product offerings and branding, the company’s chief marketing officer said on Tuesday.During a Beijing news conference, Ben Ho said HTC is getting “bolder” in its communications with potential customers and will invest more in marketing campaigns.Analysts have attributed HTC’s recent sliding sales to lackluster marketing and weak distribution channels.Ho, who assumed the position earlier this year, said HTC will ditch the “Quietly Brilliant” slogan.Instead, the company has chosen “Here’s To Change” as its new slogan and invited Hollywood movie star Robert Downey Jr to be the brand endorser.“Although HTC as a company has existed for 11 years, we started to build up our own brand (rather than being just a contract manufacturer) only five or six years ago. So we are still very young in terms of branding,” said Ho.HTC, which is experiencing slumping sales globally, is paying more attention to the mainland, the world’s biggest smartphone market and a major driver for smartphone shipment.However, having entered the segment in 2010, HTC’s performance in the Chinese market has been far from outstanding.According to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International, HTC wasn’t even among the top 10 smartphone vendors in the nation.Samsung Electronics Co Ltd led the list with an 18.6 percent market share in China in the second quarter.Lenovo Group Ltd and Yulong Computer Telecommunication Technology Co, which produces Coolpad handsets, followed with 12.4 percent and 11.2 percent shares, respecti迷你倉庫ely.“HTC has the chance to become a top-three smartphone vendor in China and we hope to reach that goal in two to three years,” Ho said.He added that the new ads starring Downey received “quite good” market responses after they appeared online.In addition to HTC, some mobile phone companies from the Chinese mainland, including Huawei Technologies Co and Lenovo, are also trying actively to build brands and win recognition from clients worldwide.“Many Chinese mobile phone vendors have already been among the top companies with huge handset shipments.“However, consumers outside the home market, especially in the mature Western markets, are still not familiar with those domestic brands,” said Wang Jun, an analyst with Analysys.A new trend for Chinese mobile phone companies to increase their market influence is to find international sports or entertainment stars to promote their products.In January, Lenovo signed a one-year contract with National Basketball Association star Kobe Bryant, asking him to endorse its smartphones. Officials from Huawei and ZTE revealed that they are considering superstars for promotion efforts as well.“It is unavoidable for mobile phone companies to invest heavily in marketing,” said Yang Haifeng, a telecoms expert who is also chief editor of Communications World Weekly.Huawei is becoming more aggressive in seeking customers’ attention. It threw a costly product launch ceremony in London in June and ran numerous print and digital ads for its latest flagship smartphone, the Huawei Ascend P6.Wang Weijun, China president of Huawei Device Co, a terminal branch of Huawei, said Huawei plans to invest 100 million yuan ($16.3 million) to market the Ascend P6 in China from June through September.儲存

台股昨（20）日下跌0.86％收7,832點波段新低，迷你倉庫但金融股逆勢上揚0.04％，成為撐盤指標。法人指出，立法會9月新會期開議，眾所矚目的服貿協議若欲完成年底生效目標，必須闖關成功，加上兩岸金保會10月登場，有望再度釋出政策利多，金融股值得注意。金融股昨日相對強勢，其中中信金、玉山金各獲法人買超1.99萬張、1.04萬張，股價逆勢走揚，成為類股領頭羊，彰銀、京城銀、新光金等也獲法人青睞買超。摩根台灣金磚基金經理人葉鴻儒指出，金融壽險股這波股價相對沒表現，在外資強力回補下展開反彈，搭配兩岸開放政策仍有利金融股長線獲利走升，短線仍可留意指標金控股的表現。再者，全球景氣回春，美國QE政策轉變提高市場對升息的預期，搭配金融股評價合理，吸引外資佈局。德盛安聯台灣智慧趨勢基金經理人蕭惠中表示，雖然服貿協議細節尚未定案，儲存過市場對於10月登場的兩岸金保會期待高，也寄望金融業會有進一步開放投資的進度，在政策利多下可望點火。此外，旅遊、第三方支付與電子商務、醫療服務都可能有幫助。不過目前市場普遍對於金融業期待較高，包括陸資投資台灣金融業，及保險、證券業到對岸設點或合資都讓金融業後市具有想像空間，運輸與電子商務則是在服務業投資限定放寬後的下一波機會。隨立院新會期展開，兩岸金保會登場，政策利多將有機會進一步拉抬相關族群，葉鴻儒分析，過往銀行股受限銀行整併進度落後、獲利難以提升造成評價面長期偏低。隨政策逐步鬆綁，包括銀行登陸、人民幣業務承作等，對銀行股獲利拉抬具實質功效。回歸基本面來看，今年以來，金融股獲利表現不錯，葉鴻儒表示，主要來自於手續費收入、企業匯兌避險需求收益、及低信用成本，伴隨利率長期緩升的環境，企業借貸提高亦有利銀行股表現。新蒲崗迷你倉

Chengdu is rich in insect wildlife, silk and precious buried bony wood.迷你倉價錢 Nie Xin visits three important private museums, all of them free, all exploring natural and social history.Huaxi Insect MuseumSpectacular butterflies and moths, fascinating beetles, bees, crickets and other insects are on display at the Huaxi Insect Museum, the nation’s first modern insect museum.Insects represent more than 90 percent of the Earth’s living organisms and the number of species alone is estimated between 6 million and 10 million. A million have been described by biologists.There are an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 species of butterflies in the world, and China has around 12,000 of them, scientists say.The Huaxi Insect Museum in Qingcheng Mountain is one of China’s most important non-governmental museums of natural history. It is also known as the Biodiversity Museum of Qingcheng Mountain.The museum has collected more than 400,000 insect specimens, including 70 of the world’s most unusual and spectacular insects, as well as many species unique to China.Around 20,000 specimens are on display, 30 percent more than other insect museums in China. It is one of the biggest in Asia.The museum mainly displays butterflies of west China and rare species from around the world.“The museum has the world’s most complete collection of Chinese butterflies, according to international academic circles,” says museum director Zhao Li, who is a professor of insect study.Chengdu-native Zhao has studied Chinese butterflies and rare insects for many years and has published many books on entomology in China and overseas, including “Chinese Lepidoptera,” the most complete record of Chinese butterflies, as well as hundreds of scientific articles.“I love studying on insects and my aim in building an insect museum was to provide people the opportunity to learn about insects both in China and around the world,” he says.The two-story museum covers 2,000 square meters and is visited by more than 400,000 people every year.Admission is free. Operating costs, estimated at 4 million yuan (US$651,220) a year, are covered by the government in subsidies and research funding, as well as by nongovernmental organizations.Zhao says he expects extensive cooperation with more non-government institutes.“Our collection could use a larger museum to display more insect species,” says Zhao’s younger sister Zhao Li, deputy director of the museum and an insect expert herself.The museum features dramatic exhibitions with strong visual impact. It has a multimedia computer display system offering extensive information, an insect screening room, a butterfly tree and butterfly column that are decorated with thousands of butterflies specimen.It also features scientifically accurate insect models that are enlarged 30 times. Address: Qingcheng Rd,  Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan City, ChengduTel: (028) 8728-8991Website: .asia-insect.comOpening hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 9am-5pmAdmission: FreeMuseum ofSichuan Silk While the fabled Silk Road from western China to the Mediterranean is known around the world, few people know about the four silk roads in ancient China, including the Grassland Silk Road, the North Silk Road, Southwest Silk Road and Sea Silk Road.The Southwest Silk Road opened in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) connecting Chengdu with countries in Southeast Asia. It was in continuous use for more than 2,000 years.ChengduÕs important place on the ancient caravan route is presented in the Sichuan Silk Museum founded by Wu Jinliang, who is also the director.Wu is vice chairman of the Sichuan Silk Association and the Sichuan Sericulture Association and has always been connected with silk and silkworms. The word ÒSichuanÓ comes from its contracted form as well as the name of the ancient Shu Kingdom; Shu() is another word for Sichuan.The character Shu was inscribed on tortoise shell in the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century-11th centur迷你倉庫). The upper part of the pictograph appears to be a large eye of a silkworm and the lower part looks like a silkworm’s body.In the museum visitors can see rare pieces of ancient silk, as well as reproductions, including the “Dancing Figure with Animal Veins” from the Warring States Period (476-221 BC) unearthed from the No. 1 tomb of the Chu Kingdom at Mashan in Hubei Province. Also on display is the silk piece known as “Five Stars Come Over China” unearthed from the No. 8 tomb of the Niya Site at Minfeng in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Sichuan embroidery and brocade include the pieces “Carp,” “Carp and Hibiscus Flower” and “Grandma’s House.”The museum also displays a Dingqiao silk-weaving machine, tools for mulberry planting and silkworm breeding, colorful trans-gene silk yarn, fossils of ancient mulberry, as well as many silk handcrafts.Silk is closely related to China’s social history and civilization. Silk pieces were once offered to gods and ancestors. Garments of silk represented different social grades; fine silk garments were only permitted to noble and privileged classes at one time. Eventually silk was worn by ordinary people, as it is today.“We are not merely presenting history but also developing this precious silk culture today and for the future,” says director Wu. “The legacy of historical riches of the Silk Road begins in Sichuan and continues today with the wisdom of new generations.”Some old-time weaving skills in ancient times are preserved and demonstrated by the museum and the director says the aim is to use them in production today.“The silk fiber discovered by Chinese is still the queen of all fibers around the world,” says Wu. Address: 99 Yizhanhuan Rd, Shulong AvenueOpening hours: Daily, 9am-5pmAdmission: FreeChengdu Ebony Art MuseumFor thousands of years precious ebony hardwood has been buried in the Chengdu Plain and is being excavated, carved and exhibited.The Chengdu Ebony Art Museum in Qingcheng Mountain area displays around 1,200 pieces of ebony buried for several thousands of years, many in riverbeds and one, known as the “Titan,” for an estimated 7,000 years. Some were carved in ancient times, some today. Carving ebony roots is an ancient and modern art, and an industry in some Sichuan villages.The wood is hard and durable, dark brown and black, and renowned for its ornamental value, especially in carving. Trunks of buried ebony are worth millions of dollars.There’s an old saying about ebony, “A box of jewelry is inferior to a piece of buried wood.” Ebony trees are sometimes called “vertical jewel boxes” because of their value.In Sichuan, buried wood is mainly found in the Chengdu Plain in the Yangtze River and near its tributaries of Minjiang, Tuojiang and Jialing rivers.“There were hundreds of millions of trees in ancient times, but few were preserved. Buried wood can be our guide to unraveling myths,” says Lu Hongjie, a Taiwan businessman who founded the museum in 2011.Born in Taiwan and now living in Chengdu, Lu is one of the world’s few collectors of buried ebony and is also a sculptor. He founded the museum after 10 years of preparation.The two-story museum displays natural buried ebony, sculptures and craft carvings and souvenirs.Ebony carvings by well-known Chinese sculptors are displayed.They include bodhisattvas, birds of prey, bats and images from ancient Chinese history and folktales.Some works are on sale, priced as high as 600,000 yuan (US$97,690).“The great amount of buried wood unearthed in Sichuan conveys the beliefs and myths of the ancient Shu people and provides a new subject for research about environmental change and social evolution in the Shu Kingdom,” Lu says. Address: Qingcheng Rd, Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan CityTel: (028) 8757-7313, 8725-7369Website: .cdwumu.comOpening hours: Daily, 9am-5pmAdmission: Free 儲存

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷你倉庫M.Aug. 20--An agreement between Santa Fe Public Schools and the local teachers' union that would give teachers a 1.5 percent across the board pay increase is expected to be ratified by the school board today.But in the future, pay raises for district teachers could be tied to a new state-approved teacher evaluation system the district will begin implementing this school year.In announcing the tentative agreement for the pay raise at an Aug. 6 school board meeting, Superintendent Joel Boyd said the accord "sets the stage for early negotiations next year where we believe Santa Fe can become the first district with a performance-based contract in New Mexico."Asked in an interview last week to elaborate, Boyd said the evaluation system offers several opportunities.For one, "It begins the conversation to determine how we can connect pay with performance," Boyd said. "We believe that evaluation is a possible tool that we can use to gauge performance."That's a conversation no other district has had with a union, that we're aware of."National Education Association-Santa Fe President Bernice Garcia Baca said the union is on the same page as the district regarding the new evaluation system, although the NEA doesn't necessarily endorse all the particulars.And she added, "There's a lot that needs to be worked out before it gets to collective bargaining" over how to link the evaluations to teacher pay.For example, Garcia Baca said, terms such as "performance" and "performance measures" used as part of the evaluations have to be defined.It's also important, she said, that whatever system is developed reflect increases that are based on merit, a factor the union doesn't equate with student test scores.As it is now, nearly half a SFPD teacher's evaluation is based on student test scores, a requirement laid down by the state Public Education Department. The PED has refused to approve evaluation plans for other school districts that don't rely as much on standardized tests."That's exactly what we don't want," Garcia Baca said, adding that she didn't think test scores should account for more than 15 percent of the evaluation.Garcia Baca said she appreciated that the district seems willing to offer pay teachers for "extra work" they do, "because teachers and every other staff member do a whole lot more than they are paid for."Both sides agree that tying evaluations to teacher pay will be an evolving process that could take several years.Negotiations on next year's contract are to begin next month.But with the adoption of the new teacher evaluation system, there's now a starting point, Boyd said."Now we have a plan," he said. "Now we have an opportunity to implement the system -- to gather data and determine how it can be used. The first year of implementation will yield data we haven't had before, and that data will allow us to gauge (teacher) effectiveness in a concrete way."The new evaluation system follows the state Public Education Department's framework for evaluating teachers, giving student achievement the greatest weight as a means of assessing teacher performance. Santa Fe's proposal, approved by PED last week, calls for 35 percent of the evaluation to be based on individual student test scores and another 10 percent based on test scores of a group of students. Twenty-five percent of the e儲存aluation is based on classroom observations, 20 percent on planning and professionalism, and the final 10 percent on a student survey.If the school board ratifies the latest collective bargaining agreement tonight -- and it has already taken action to allocate nearly $400,000 for pay raises this year -- it will be the first time Santa Fe teachers have received a salary increase in close to six years.Wage reportBoyd said the idea for tying wages to teacher effectiveness goes back to a report released several months ago by the Competitive Wage Committee he formed shortly after he became superintendent last year.The committee, made up of representatives from both NEA and the school district administration, was charged with looking for ways to increase wages for teachers and other staff and "to provide direction and information to be used in negotiations over the next several years."According to the report, key steps in the process include evaluating strategies to allocate available resources, reconstruct salary schedules with a different compensation approach and develop a system for rewarding desired behavior and performance that tracks student achievement.The report outlines "key ideas" that surfaced during the committee's discussions. Among them were:Develop strategies for encouraging teachers to staff summer school programs funded by the state Legislature, thus expanding their contracts by 28 days and their compensation by 15 percent.Reward staff who work to advance their skills and increase teaching effectiveness by mastering classroom technology, tools and Internet resources.Reward staff who take on more challenging assignments in what have been termed "transformational zone" schools, or those in most need of improvement.Develop a rewards program that guides and motivates instructional staff.Create new stipends to incentivize skills and abilities linked to increased student performance.In addition, the Competitive Wage Committee recommended the district employ a differentiated approach to the allocation of funds for wages.The report provided hypothetical models for allocating the funds based on the amount of money available in the compensation pool. Different percentages would be set aside for "across the board" raises, pay increases for those in "less than competitive positions," and funds to support stipends that "incentivize and reward excellence.""This strategy in the opinion of the CWC members is both 'fair' to employees and supports a transformation of teaching and learning effectiveness in establishing, incentivizing, and acknowledging the skills and practices necessary to increase relevance, rigor, and student success in the classroom," according to the report.The committee said it believes that "moving into unchartered (sic) territory together will be beneficial and productive."Boyd said the next step is to explore that uncharted territory to see how that philosophy can be connected to pay."When we start to connect it, then it can go to collective bargaining," he said. "But the conversation is significant."The question is can we go beyond the conversation to a contract that rewards excellence in teaching with pay ?"Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)
