Woodlands is now home to 200,000 residents and a future business hubBACK in the late 1980s, Mr Terry Liew, a Woodlands resident, found it nearly impossible to find a cab driver who would send him to his home.self storageSaid Mr Liew, 46, who was then a navy regular in his early 20s working at the naval base at Pulau Brani: "I remember I was so mad I asked one cabby why no one wanted to drive me home."He told me if he went to Woodlands, he would never get any passenger on the way out."To many, the suburban town in the north, which derived its name from the rubber tree plantations in the area when it was a kampung, has always been ulu (remote in Malay), rural and far away from the rest of the population.But things have changed over the last three decades and Woodlands is now a more developed and populated estate.Today, there are more than 200,000 Housing Board residents in Woodlands and another 200,000 in the neighbouring Yishun and Sembawang towns.Woodlands residents are glad to see more facilities, like schools and parks, being built.In the last 10 years, for instance, schools like the Singapore Sports School, Republic Polytechnic and Innova Junior College have sprung up in the area.In 2010, Causeway Point reopened with a wider variety of shops and eateries after a $72 million facelift, giving residents an alternative to downtown shopping.Shops like Uniqlo and Dorothy Perkins, and restaurants like Paradise Dynasty can now be found there.Madam Siti Hussin, 45, an assistant manager in a cargo shipping company who has lived in Woodlands for 15 years, said: "It's like a mini-Ion and I really like it because there are so many shops. There's no real need to go down to town so often now."Further north, the $19 million Woodlands Waterfront, an 11ha coastal park that was completed two years ago, is frequented by nature-lovers, joggers, cyclists and families alike.Mr Liew, a sales manager, who has lived in Woodlands for 33 years, said: "I'm happy that the old Woodlands has turned into what it is today."We have always lagged behind our neighbours like Yishun in terms of development."Even bigger plans are in store for the town, as the Government plans for it to become a major employment hub in the north of the country.Woodlands will house one of four regional centres that serve as business hubs outside the city centre.The first two st迷你倉rted in Tampines in 1992 and in Jurong in 2008. There are plans for a fourth in Seletar.Last week, a prime plot of land in Woodlands Avenue 5 was launched for sale, kickstarting the development of the Woodlands Regional Centre.Under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's latest Draft Master Plan unveiled last month, some 7 million sq ft of new commercial space is planned for the Woodlands Regional Centre, made up of two precincts.The first is a retail hub called Woodlands Central, a 30ha area around Woodlands MRT and Causeway Point, and the second is the 70ha Woodlands North Coast, located between Republic Polytechnic and Woodlands Waterfront, which will be for business and lifestyle uses.In addition, the Woodlands MRT station will be an interchange linking the North-South Line with the new Thomson Line.There are plans for a future rail link to Johor Baru.Residents are looking forward to these developments as they will add buzz and jobs to the area.Said Madam Siti: "As I grow older, it'd be good if I can find a job near my home."But mom-and-pop shop owners in other parts of Woodlands said they are uncertain what these big changes mean for them.Some, like hardware shop owner David Neo, 52, is hopeful that he can benefit from the spillover effects."It's too early to say, but I hope the changes bring more crowds to the rest of Woodlands," said Mr Neo, who has been running his shop in Marsiling Lane for 17 years.Provision shop manager Abdullah Ahmad, 66, echoed Mr Neo's sentiment, saying: "If more people come to live here, maybe it will become busier."For now, residents are glad that Woodlands is no longer the "ghost town" it once was.Said mechanic Billy Wan, 45, who moved there in 1995: "It was a bit scary and quiet last time. But now it's different."Along the waterfront, people go for evening strolls, picnics, cycle or fish."Mr Francis Toh, 39, co-owner of Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant, which opened at the waterfront in November last year, said: "People like to come here for special occasions like birthdays because of the sunset, scenery and sea breeze."But as Woodlands becomes busier in the next 10 to 15 years, some hope it will not become too packed with people."Some hustle and bustle is good, but when things get too congested, I may have second thoughts on living here," said Mr Wan.ateng@sph.com.sg迷你倉西貢

迷你倉將軍澳 一年一度的冬日美食節，成為港人聖誕吃喝好去處，不過昨日美食節展場內，有參展商涉嫌經營副業，賣魚子醬同時「偷雞」賣魚子精華面膜（見圖），更揚言「都係食得�！」。記者昨日所見，有售賣魚子醬的公司，在攤檔販賣「鱘龍魚魚子精華面膜」。攤檔負責人表示，公司剛獨家代理該魚子面膜，所以順便一起推廣，「我都知有�尷尬，大會都有提過�（不可以售賣食物以外的產品），但佢唔係化學藥物，都係食得�！」另外，有巴基斯坦女童在父親工作的中東食品攤檔側，放置摺�，替人畫Henna，直言為�「賺多�錢」。迷你倉尖沙咀

迷你倉將軍澳 龍潭大池因應清淤工程將水放乾，幾乎乾涸的池底有垃圾、廢輪胎不稀奇，連腳踏車、手機都有。民眾見到腳踏車殘骸躺在池底覺得訝異，「怎麼有人這麼沒公德心，連腳踏車都丟進大池。」另外池底也發現手機，特別的是手機竟是在大池中央，有人笑稱，莫非是情侶分手，一時生氣才會把手機往池裡遠遠地丟。日前大池曾進行清淨計畫，由縣長吳志揚帶頭，不少民眾參加，當時只是清掃池內周邊垃圾，大池中央部分則未清理，直到這次為了清淤將池水完全放乾，裡頭廢棄物才一一浮現。龍潭鄉公所說，日後會派人多注意周遭環境，呼籲民眾勿隨意丟棄垃圾，共同維護大池的乾淨。公所也說清淤工程近日內就會完成，準備蓄水迎接桃園燈會。迷你倉尖沙咀

"Unfortunately that was not in the cards, as the final online shopping week saw considerably softer smini storageles than anticipated, including zero billion dollar spending days - although Monday and Tuesday came close."Added Fulgoni, "Strong momentum coming out of Thanksgiving, in addition to heavy weekend buying, suggested we would meet or exceed expectations as long as momentum continued through the final week before Christmas. Unfortunately, the most recent week fell short of those expectations, and it looks like the final season growth rate will end up a few percentage points shy of what we had anticipated. In the end, I think we'll look back at this online holiday season as one where absolute dollar sales gains in consumer spending were held back by heavy retailer price discounting that occurred in an attempt to stimulate consumer demand, while at the same time, consumers weren't willing or able to increase their spending rate to fully compensate for the six-day shorter shopping period between Thanksgiving and Christmas."Top 5 Gaining Product Categories for Holiday Season-to-DateFor the holiday season-to-date, Video Game Consoles & Accessories ranked as the top-gaining product category vs. year ago, followed by Apparel & Accessories, Consumer Electronics (bolstered by smartphone sales), Computer Hardware (bolstered by tablet sales), and Home & Garden.Top 5 Gaining Product Categories by Sales Growth for HolidaySeason-to-DateNov. 1-Dec. 22, 2013 vs. Corresponding Days in 2012Total U.S. - Home & Work Desktop ComputersSource: comScore, Inc. ----------------------Rank Top Gaining Product Categories ---- ------------------------------1 Video Game Consoles & Accessories --- ---------------------------------2 Apparel & Accessories --- ---------------------3 Consumer Electronics --- --------------------4 Computer Hardware --- -----------------5 Home & Garden --- -------------Top 10 Heaviest Online Spending Days in 2013With the heaviest portions of the online holiday season now in the books, comScore can report the top ten biggest sales days for 2013.

Source: Tulsa World, Okla.文件倉Dec. 26--Thomas Boxley III is not a doctor, nor does he pretend to be.He won't check your blood pressure, take your temperature or tell you to turn your head and cough.Yet for many people, Boxley is their first contact with the University of Oklahoma's Wayman Tisdale Specialty Health Clinic.Boxley holds the double-barreled title of facilities manager and community liaison.As the former, he is responsible for keeping the $20 million facility at North Hartford Avenue and 36th Street North as bright and shiny as the day it opened.As the latter, he is responsible for introducing the clinic and healthier living to the community."That might be a meeting of the North Star Neighborhood Association, reaching out to breast cancer survivors or various support groups," Boxley said.Historically, the area around the Tisdale Clinic has been underserved in terms of medical care and particularly speciality medicine.Through the OU-Tulsa College of Medicine, the clinic offers dermatology, adult psychiatry, nephrology, pediatric gastroenterology, gynecology, endocrinology and preventive cardiology.There is also, Boxley said, an effort to simply make people more aware of healthy living.Beyond that is a desire to transform a neighborhood and community that has long been stagnant at best."We would like to be the catalyst for development of the 36th Street corridor," Boxley said.The recently passed $917 million capital improvement package included $5 million for the corridor's small area plan, approved in October by the Tulsa 存倉etropolitan Area Planning Commission."We look at ourselves as an anchor institution," said Boxley, a member of the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce board. "It was amazing. As the (clinic) building began to proceed, as it began to take form, some of the owners of the surrounding properties began to upgrade their facilities, too."The No. 1 priority for area residents, Boxley said, is easier access to a grocery store -- not a convenience store or general merchandise store but an actual grocery store."We have a lot of older people here," he said. "I was approached by seven or eight elders who wanted to know, 'How can we get a grocery store?' "A Tulsa native and graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, Boxley said he hopes he can be a facilitator in building the 36th Street corridor."We're involved in business development and involving young people in business," he said. "We want them to be able to support themselves, to have something to come back to after college."My role in all of this is to be a catalyst, bring people together at the right time," he said.

據新華社北京12月26日電 （記者王經國 崔文毅）國防部新聞發言人耿雁生26日在例行記者會上，迷你倉尖沙咀就外界關注的釣魚島問題，中美軍艦南海相遇、東海防空識別區等問題回答了記者的提問。關鍵詞：防空識別區中國對東海防空識別區實施有效監管耿雁生說，東海防空識別區公佈實施後，中國軍隊對防空識別 區內各種航空器的活動情況進行了全面監管。截至12月22日，共掌握其他國家和地區軍機近800架次進入我防空識別區活動，23個國家和地區的56家航空公司向我民航通報飛行計劃21475架次。根據我空防安全需要，中國軍隊出動偵察機、預警機和戰鬥機51批87架次，赴有關空域執行例行巡邏警戒以及必要的緊急識別查證等任務。我們對東海防空識別區實施了有效監管，將根據不同空中威脅採取不同措施，保衛國家空防安全。有媒體提出，中國是否可能再劃設新的防空識別區，以及下次如果再劃設新的防空識別區時，是否會和台灣先期協調？耿雁生說，防空識別區不是領空，也不是空中禁區，劃設防空識別區不涉及領土、領海和領空的改變。是否劃設防空識別區，要根據國家面臨的安全環境等多種因素確定。兩岸同胞是一家人，維護中華民族的整體利益，符合兩岸同胞的共同利益。我們對兩岸關係和平發展所持的立場是一貫的、明確的。關鍵詞：釣魚島日方應拿出實際行動與中方共同管控危機有西方媒體認為，中日在東海和釣魚島問題上爭端加劇，雙方有擦槍走火的可能，甚至有爆發衝突的危險。對此耿雁生表示，中方維護國家領土主權的立場堅定不移，同時也一貫強調要通過對話談判解決爭端。當前中日關係面臨嚴峻局面，是日方不顧中方的強烈反對，執意非法“購買”釣倉島所造成的，其責任應由日方承擔。日方應該拿出實際行動，與中方相向而行，共同管控危機，為解決有關問題創造條件。關鍵詞：軍艦相遇中美兩軍建有機制化溝通渠道針對不久前發生的中美軍艦南海相遇事件，耿雁生說，中方一貫主張，外國艦機在中國近海活動，應該遵守有關國際法，尊重中國的安全關切。中美兩軍對話和溝通的渠道是暢通的。推動兩軍關係健康穩定發展，是構建中美新型大國關係的重要方面，需要雙方共同作出努力。耿雁生說，目前，中美兩軍建有國防部防務磋商、國防部工作會晤、海上軍事安全磋商、國防部直通電話等機制化溝通渠道。同時，根據國際慣例，兩軍在相關行動層面也保持著必要溝通。這次在南海兩國軍艦相遇後，中美艦長直接進行了通話，使有關情況得到妥善處置。關於中國參加2014環太平洋演習一事，耿雁生說，中方已派工作組兩次參加了演習計劃會，就我參演兵力、參演科目、後勤保障等問題與美方進行了磋商。關鍵詞：直升機中國正在依靠自己的力量發展新型直升機針對有媒體提出的國產通用直升機直-20成功試飛問題，耿雁生表示，為了適應國民經濟和社會發展，以及軍隊建設的需要，應對搶 險救災、人道主義救援等情況，中國正在依靠自己的力量發展新型直升機。關鍵詞：洲際導彈中國在境內按計劃進行科研試驗很正常針對有媒體提出的中國在渤海附近劃定的禁航區進行洲際導彈 發射試驗問題時，耿雁生說，中國在境內按計劃進行科研試驗是正常的，這些試驗不針對任何特定國家和目標。中方一貫強調，中國奉行防禦性國防政策，發展武器裝備是為了維護國家安全的需要。他強調，中國奉行自衛防禦的核戰略，不首先使用核武器的政策不會改變。mini storage

【專題報道】過去一年，迷你倉港人見證手機錢包服務的誕生。自�豐於去年底推出首個手機錢包後，各大銀行亦陸續加入戰場。目前巿面上的手機錢包服務各據山頭，隨�明年銀通投入手機錢包巿場，加上�豐擴大服務範圍，港人有望可體驗「一機多卡」的手機錢包功能。記者：關穎欣目前�豐、�生（011）、中銀（2388）及花旗四間銀行，再加上八達通，已推出手機錢包服務。看似百花齊放，不過距離金管局的終極目標「互聯互通」，還有一大段距離。五間機構的服務幾乎毫不互通，以手機型號為例，目前為止，�豐及八達通的服務就分別僅適用於iPhone及Sony手機。除手機型號外，部份銀行僅向特定電訊商的客戶，提供手機錢包服務（見表）。銀通擬下季推出這種割據局面明年可望打破。首先，於本港擁有20間會員銀行的銀通，計劃於明年首季推出手機錢包服務，初步參與的銀行包括東亞（023）、中銀、永亨（302）及大新銀行（2356）。銀通又已經與香港電訊（6823）旗下PCCW Mobile達成合作協議，預計明年可以透過SIM卡內置的通訊功能，提供手機錢包服務。�豐亦於本月中宣佈，已與PCCW、數碼通（315）、CSL及中移儲存倉合作，明年陸續將手機錢包服務擴展至Android手機。即明年PCCW客戶，可以一機專享�生、匯豐，及銀通部份會員銀行的手機錢包服務，一機嘟盡多間銀行的信用卡。香港電訊無線業務產品開發及管理高級副總裁管紀東表示，即使是不同銀行的手機錢包，一同使用PCCW的服務時，不會產生技術上的衝突，「可以同一張（SIM）卡」。反而目前已推出巿場、同樣與PCCW合作的八達通及�生，則暫未能做到一機多卡。管紀東指，由於銀行卡與八達通卡的制式不同，「初期會有compatibility（兼容性）�問題」，即是�生和八達通的手機錢包服務之間，用戶只能二揀一。�生擴至Sony手機不過有關問題並非「不治之症」，「要�時間解決」。他預計明年中前，兩項服務將可於同一張SIM卡上共用。金管局就巿場上手機錢包的發展，終極目標為「一機多卡、轉台容易、換機方便、嚴謹保安」，前三項意即服務之間可互聯互通，部份銀行亦向有關方向發展。以�生為例，服務推出初期合作夥伴僅為Samsung及PCCW，目前已進一步接納Sony、LG及HTC手機，電訊商合作夥伴亦已擴展至數碼通及CSL（包括1010及one2free）。迷你倉最平
