電子書所提供的不只是書的另一種製作和表現形式，self storage不只是如同中國傳統書籍從卷軸裝、經摺裝、蝴蝶裝到包背裝等裝幀和使用方便性的演變。電子書所帶來的最大改變，在於內容的彈性和流動性，不再像紙本書一般，內容固定不變，唯有下一個版次才能修訂。電子書和傳統書的不同，在於內容的無限可能。內容增加的可能多數人對電子書的第一個反應，包含製造商本身的廣告，都強調電子書容量與傳統圖書的明顯差異。某家廠商的廣告文案聲稱：以閱讀器的電力能提供的閱讀時間，加上可裝載的電子書冊數，出太空梭任務的太空人，可以在離開地球前一次帶足整個任務期間想讀的書，而不必再另外充電。這還只是針對閱讀器內建的記憶體容量而言。某些可以透過記憶卡提供更多裝載空間的閱讀器，容量可達32GB以上。以先前火紅的林肯傳記書《無敵》（大塊）為例：英文紙本書共944頁、重量約1.3公斤；KINDLE版電子書約10MB左右。32GB容量的記憶卡，至少可以裝載3200部這樣厚重的書。如果擁有10片記憶卡，以700元左右的市價計算，不到7000元的成本價格，就可以擁有超過3萬冊藏書的空間，這樣的藏書量，已經不比許多鄉鎮圖書館的藏書量遜色。（民國90年公布的圖書館法規定，每個鄉鎮的藏書不得低於2萬冊。）上網連線後的可能如果只從硬體容量來看，無論擴充的可能性有多大，最後總會受到器材的限制。前述例子裡，固然可以透過記憶卡擴大容量，但需要不斷抽換，除了操作上麻煩，卡片的管理和搜尋，也會是個棘手問題。但若透過網路連線，即可克服這樣的限制，不但管理和搜尋電子書的問題迎刃而解，更跨越了器械本身儲存容量有限的藩籬。然而，內容量的增加，並不是連線上網對電子書最大的改變。網路使得電子書的運用，超出了傳統愛書人取得圖書的常軌。直接從網路書店載入內容，不但更快更方便，通常電子書的價格也會比紙本書來得低廉。（近幾年美國司法部介入調查，蘋果電腦和幾家主要電子書出版商干預電子書價格，避免經銷商提供更低價格給讀者的案件，已有初步結果，電子書價可望有更大幅的調降空間。）此外，網路上也充滿了各式合法的免費電子書資源，比起坊間實體連鎖書店或傳統書店，可選擇的內容多源性並不遜色。（當然這些所謂免費電子書，有些是否真的合法，仍有商榷餘地。然而網路上許多透過參與者的努力，或者有心人贊助的合法電子書資源日漸龐大，也是不爭的事實。）過去的閱讀，常被形容成可隔絕外界、享受自我恬靜時光。然而，電子書和網路的結合，卻也可以為閱讀帶來嶄新的閱讀經驗。新型的閱讀器，大多包含所謂的共享書籤，也就是在電子書的內容裡，除了迷你倉始本文以外，還可以看到其他讀過同一本書的讀者留下的劃線和評點註記，而且會隨著新註記內容的增加而即時更新。（和其他電子書的特異功能一樣，這個功能是可以選擇關閉的。）對常上圖書館借書的愛書人來說，也許這不算是什麼新的體驗，但相對於圖書館員諄諄告誡要珍惜圖書，不要在書上任意塗寫的勸止，電子書商卻是鼓勵這樣的分享和註記，企圖提供更多元的閱讀樂趣。另外，如KINDLE提供的X-RAY功能，可以即時連繫所點選的人物、主題、關鍵字，讓讀者進一步了解人物間的關係、故事大綱和進展等等，都是過去的閱讀所無法想像的。有論者批評，這樣的註記，其實會影響到單純閱讀本文的感受。因為一段文字被特別標出（甚至加上了另一個讀者主觀的評點）以後，常常會影響甚至主導了我們閱讀的感受。這和許多喜愛電影的人會避免先讀影評，免得降低了觀影經驗的想法是類似的。然而對喜於反覆玩味同一本書的不同版本，訪求不同的評論、註釋和演繹本的讀者來說，這會是很受歡迎的一項功能。另一個各家閱讀器相繼提供的功能，是可將電子書內容以電腦合成語音朗讀，讓讀者在無法或者不適合使用視力的環境下，也有機會繼續閱讀。合成語音當然無法和有聲書真人朗讀的抑揚頓挫相比擬，然而在方便性上，也給了愛書人不同的選擇。我們可以合理地預期，未來國外譯本的電子書，應當很容易就可以切換到原文著作，再配合不同語言的字辭典連結，提供讀者原汁原味去領受作者情懷的機會。未來內容發展的可能2010年7月，美國亞馬遜網路書店售出的電子書數量超過了紙本精裝書的出貨量；6個月後超過平裝書出貨量，到了2011年，更已超過了平裝書和精裝書出貨量的總和。（當然這樣的統計數字，具有先天的偏頗。因為亞馬遜的客戶本來就偏向使用網路和接納新科技，對電子書的接受度，明顯會比傳統讀者高。）這些對電子書內容的需求，和對閱讀器的接受程度，多少會影響原始出版的形式。過去以印刷圖書先行、電子書接著出版的模式，也漸漸有了改變。目前提供電子紙閱讀器使用的電子書，主要仍以文字為主，檔案形式以EPUB（除了亞馬遜以外大多數閱讀器都支援的格式）和KINDLE系列使用的AZW和MOBI格式為大宗。除了文字以外，另一個出版量較大的類別就是漫畫書。電子紙受限於現有技術，在彩色和動畫內容方面，目前還無法和平板電腦競爭。下一個主要的戰場，在於電子教科書的市場這塊大餅。預計一到三年內，我們可以看到更多元化的電子教科書的競爭。電子教科書在取得內容和資源的分配上，與現有以個人為主體的使用模式不甚相同。在接下來的系列裡，我們會針對這個特殊的市場繼續討論。文件倉

Economists BT spoke to say a continued Chinese deceleration will hit Singapore's exports, tourism sector and property market the hardest, with dampening effects potentially lingering in 2014.PRs trip on ringfence around landed homesTHE number of approvals granted to permanent residents wanting to buy landed homes on mainland Singapore has fallen sharply, since the authorities further tightened the eligibility criteria in 2011 to ensure these scarce properties remain the primary preserve of Singapore citizens. The Singapore Land Authority told BT that such approvals fell from 145 in 2010 to 117 in 2011 to just 31 last year (the first full year after the tightening).How accurate is that financial statement? Just make a guess WHAT if someone told you that the financial statements of a company that you depend on to make your decisions - as an investor, creditor, potential acquirer or some other stakeholder - were almost totally the result of human judgment rather than hard fact? It would seem an unbelievable scenario to many. But the fact is, it is now very much the reality here.MF report weakens case for weaker yenTHE yen is now "moderately undervalued", an International Monetary Fund report suggested - a finding that would make it harder for Japan to easily get its partners' approval for any further depreciation of the currency as a means to anchor economic recovery.Malaysian exports in June fall for 5th straight monthMALAYSIA'S June exports have dropped 6.9 per cent year on year for a fifth successive month 儲存ollowing a bigger decline in electrical and electronic (E&E) shipments to China and the US.

Source: Milwaukee Journal SentinelAug.迷你倉庫 09--A Waukesha pharmacist, alarmed that potentially dangerous drugs were being issued under her license but without a doctor's prescription, brought the problem to the attention of her bosses at PharMerica, a nationwide pharmaceuticals services firm.When they ignored her, Jennifer Denk contacted federal authorities. Soon after agents raided PharMerica's Pewaukee plant, she was fired.That was in 2009. Denk filed a federal whistle blower's suit that year that was only recently unsealed. On Friday, federal prosecutors prompted by Denk's tip weighed in with their own civil action, filed in Milwaukee federal court. The government says in its suit that the company illegally dispensed drugs like OxyContin and Fentanyl and falsely billed the government."Pharmacies are prohibited by law from dispensing Schedule II narcotics, which have the highest potential for abuse of any prescription drug, without a valid prescription from a physician," said Stuart Delery, assistant attorney general for the civil division of the Department of Justice."As we have done today, the Department of Justice will take action to protect the integrity of federal health care program funds and hold those who violate the law accountable."Denk said she was motivated by her professional ethics and concerns for the end users of the potentially dangerous drugs."I took an oath when I graduated from pharmacy school," she said in a statement, "and I felt I had not choice but to follow my oath."But blowing the whistle can also pay off financially. In all, between triple damages available to federal whistle blowers, or fines for each of the allegedly false invoices to the government, PharMerica could face more than $100 million in damages, according to Denk's attorney, Nola Hitchcock Cross.Louisville, KY-based PharMerica contracts to provide pharmacy services for long-term care facilities around the country. Between 2007 and 2009, it filled about 40 million prescriptions, nearly half covered by Medicare. According to court records, it was filing more than 56,000 orders a month just from Pewaukee.An agency that handled public relations for PharMerica did not return calls seeking comment Friday.Under the Civil War era False Claims Act, citizens with evidence of fraud against government contracts can sue on behalf of the government to recover the stolen funds. The suits are filed under seal for 60 days to allow government prosecutors time to consider intervening. If they do, the suits can remain under seal for much longer, as in Denk's case.The U.S. Department of Justice reports that in the last fiscal year, individual whistle blowers filed a record 647 suits that led to recover of $3.3 billion. When the government prevails, the whistle blowers are entitled to 15% to 25% of the amount recovered.In the past four years, the Justice Department has recovered more than $14.8 billion through False Claims Act cases, including $10.8 billion in cases involving fraud against federal health care programs.James Santelle, the U.S. attorney in Milwaukee, said Friday's complaint "reflects the abiding commitment of the Justice Department to the qui tam process, encouraging people with information about alleged fraud and abuse to report it in a timely and effective manner."In儲存2011, the founder of Mequon foot care firm was fined $27 million and sentenced to prison in a fraud uncovered by in part by a whistle blower who worked in the factory.According to Denk's complaint:Denk went to work in Pewaukee in October 2008. Like all PharMerica pharmacists, she signed an agreement to repay a $10,000 hiring bonus if she quit within two years for any reason, even over illegal practices.By May 2009, Denk had notified the Drug Enforcement Administration of problems, and the agency sent an agent to Pewaukee to inspect records. When the agent told PharMerica officials to send in stacks of records, Denk contends, her bosses told her to ignore the order or to only send records she could modify to look as though they met regulations.Denk, 33, then told PharmMerica's head of human resources that her supervisor had directed her to commit a felony. He reminded her of the $10,000 repayment requirement, and said Denk's supervisor was only "protecting the company."Denk's lawsuit suggests the practices she observed in Pewaukee were standard throughout PharMerica's nationwide pharmaceutical management centers. The suit says those practices included: billing Medicare for drugs sent to deceased patients; double-billing for some prescriptions; failing to credit the government for returned prescriptions; and billing for one drug while providing a different kind.It also claims PharMerica violated federal anti-kickback statutes, by steering buyers to drug companies that paid rebates to PharMerica, and also by letting nursing homes distribute narcotics from certain kit boxes without keeping the required records. PharMerica would then simply refill the boxes at any time, the suit claims, as an inducement for the facility to keep its contract for other prescriptions with PharMerica.Experts say the "kit boxes," meant for emergencies when a patient's prescription has not yet been filled, could be subject to thefts, as many of the drugs they contain -- like oxycodone -- are in high demand by those who abuse the drug.The government's complaint indicates that staff -- not patient's doctors --at client nursing homes would fax in request for refills of addictive pain killers and others Schedule II drugs to PharMerica. There, workers would assign another 60 day supply --along with an "emergency" supply -- and then send a template to the patient's doctor for signature.But the templates often returned unsigned, according to prosecutors. Boxes of unsigned prescription templates were recovered in the 2009 Pewaukee raid, in what employees called "the Harry Potter room."Prosecutors claim the same procedures were employed by PharMerica at its Florida and California locations, and to a lesser extent at one in Colorado.PharMerica had been warned about such practices before. A DEA audit of the company's Indiana facility in 2000 led to a warning about its non-compliance.The company's own auditor in 2007 prepared a slide show warning that only one pharmacy was following the rules correctly, and most were still sending out drugs without prescription. It even included a slide that read "No prescription equals false claim."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Visit the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at .jsonline.com Distributed by MCT Information Services新蒲崗迷你倉

研究減少碳排放的英國公司Carbon Trust發表報告，迷你倉新蒲崗指在智能手機或平板電腦以3G流動數據收看一場足球賽，產生的碳排放量等於駕車十六公里，極不環保。而最為環保的做法，是在家中或酒吧與他人共賞賽事。據Carbon Trust指出，用3G流動數據觀看一場球賽，比用WiFi串流的碳排放量高十倍；而用WiFi串流則比用電視觀賽減少八倍碳排放。去現場睇波最不環迷你倉出租電視中以LED螢幕最環保；用手提電腦的碳排放量，又比桌上電腦少一半。因此若單獨看球賽，用智能電話以WiFi串流觀看較環保，因其螢幕較小。而與別人共用一個電子螢幕看球賽，將是最環保。報告又指，到現場看球賽是最不環保，因為很多球迷需要乘坐交通工具前往。報告估計明天於倫敦溫布萊球場舉行的社區盾賽事，碳排放量達到五千一百六十公噸，相等於當地一千戶家庭的每年碳排放量。儲存倉

本報記者 顧 陽國家統計局9日發佈的數據顯示，迷你倉價錢7月份，全國居民消費價格指數（CPI）同比上漲2.7%，漲幅與上月持平。今年1月至7月，全國CPI比去年同期上漲2.4%。專家表示，7月份CPI數據符合市場預期，物價水平保持穩定，總體看當前CPI上漲溫和可控，全年通脹水平控制在3.5%的年初目標應為大概率事件，為下一階段資源價格改革提供了空間。數據顯示，在構成7月份CPI同比2.7%的上漲中，城市上漲2.6%，農村上漲2.9%；食品價格上漲5.0%，非食品價格上漲1.6%；消費品價格上漲2.7%，服務價格上漲2.7%。從環比看，7月份CPI環比上漲0.1%，價格水平總體變化不大。其中，食品價格環比持平，非食品價格略有上漲。“7月份豬肉和蔬菜價格環比上漲較多，主要是受當月氣溫較常年同期偏高、降水量偏多的影響；7月份也正值鮮果大量上市，因而鮮果價格下降較多。”國家統計局城市司高級統計師余秋梅分析指出，上述兩項綜合，使得食品價格環比持平。余秋梅表示，7月份非食品價格環比上漲0.2%，主要是受暑期外出迷你倉庫遊人數增多、旅遊及機票價格等季節性上漲的影響。據悉，7月份機票價格環比上漲8.1%，旅遊價格環比上漲4.9%。“隨著天氣異常情況的減少和翹尾因素的變小，8月份CPI可能會有所回落。總體看，當前通脹壓力不大。”國務院參事姚景源表示，從近幾個月的通脹表現來看，下半年難現3%以上的通脹率，全年通脹預期有望維持在2.5%左右。當天，國家統計局還公佈了7月份全國工業生產者價格變動情況。數據顯示，7月份，全國工業生產者出廠價格指數（PPI）同比下降2.3%，環比下降0.3%；工業生產者購進價格同比下降2.2%，環比下降0.4%。余秋梅表示，這些變化趨勢與7月份製造業PMI略有回升較為吻合，表明近期出台的一系列穩增長、調結構和促改革舉措的政策效應有所顯現。有專家也表示，PPI已連續超過10個月下滑，一定程度上反映出當前工業依舊不景氣、產能過剩依然嚴重等問題，仍需在穩增長上繼續發力。姚景源表示，隨著穩增長系列政策的陸續出台和國內需求的增加，PPI降幅將會繼續收窄並逐步回歸正常，下半年經濟增長將繼續穩中有進。儲存
