政统与道统

钱穆《中国思想通俗讲话》书中所述,中国人之所谓中国人,咎其具有中华文化这一归属,不是他的躯体,ABC黄皮香蕉不是中国人,哪怕他持中国护照。中国有中华人民共和国、台湾、香港、澳门,哪怕新加坡也是多数华裔,我在海外见到的中国人,都异常大方自信的告诉来者,自己的文化归属,为什么有些人却羞于承认自己的身份,好像羞于承认自己的父母。党非国,政统会变化,但道统毋庸置疑。



  中国人又言“血统”。中国为一氏族社会,氏族即血统所成。

  余尝论中国有政统与道统,而道统尤重。

  中国五千年文化传统,有政统乱于上而道统犹存于下。

  如秦灭六国,非由秦人统一中国,乃由中国人自臻于统一。秦二世而亡,而中国人之统一则仍继续。此乃中国人建立了中国,非由中国来产生出中国人。

  故中国而夷狄则夷狄之,夷狄而中国则中国之。若中国人不遵中国人道理,则亦可认为非中国人。

  故道统必尤尊于政统。中国人则该是一中国人,此乃道统血统之统一。“心血”两字连用,可显其义。



  故读中国史,政治统一之治安时代,固当注意,而政治分裂或变乱时代,亦值同样注意,或当更加注意。

  如魏晋南北朝,如五代,如辽、金、元及清代,中国可谓已失其常,而中国人则仍为一中国人,依然未变未失,血统道统犹然。中国人之心血,能历五千年而长存。

  论及最近七十年之中国历史,则又政治变乱分裂而社会则日益扩展,其在海外者,有台湾人,香港人,新加坡人,其他散入亚洲各地乃及美、欧、非、澳各洲,至少亦得五千万人。

  论其血,则同属中国人血统。

  论其心,则亦全不忘其同为一中国人。

  然而流亡离散,则亦无可讳言。

  如求其能团结一致,则非认识做一中国人之共同标准不可,主要在从道统上求,当从历史求之。

今晚尝试使用evernote写博客,然后发布到blogger和wordpress.com两个平台,前者成功,除去字体、字号、颜色等细节需调整,日后可以rich text尝试;后者确实令人失望,除去不能发布多图,字体问题,还不能粘贴长文,感觉wordpress这个平台虚有其表,让我尽快折腾sitemix弄个WP出来耍耍,注册了tk域名,就域名解析都搞得头大,也不知道效果如何。

Google 高级搜索

简单介绍一下如何用google来搜索网上可以下载的mp3,拿Bon Jovi举个例子,在google搜索栏中输入 -inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “Bon Jovi” (可用其他歌手或歌名替代Bon Jovi) 同理我们一个将google变成超星下载电子书(将wma|mp3改成电子书文件格式如pdf等)或者下载视频(mpg、wmv) 如果你有什么好点子也请与大家分享。

为了遵守版权以及相关法律,Google本身并未提供专用的MP3搜索服务,不过,Google的蜘蛛抓取网页时可谓“不遗余力”,所有“在线音乐”的数据,其实早已被Google巨大的数据库所收录--只看你会不会Google了。

找一个最典型的例子:如果你想要找到Google中所有Beatles的MP3格式音乐下载,你只需在Google中输入:

“index of” + “mp3″ + “beatles” -html -htm -php

看看你获得了什么?

---------------------------------------------------

 首先打开Google,在关键词输入框中输入"index of/"inurl:lib(双引号为英文状态下),选择“搜索简体中文网页”选项,回车搜索,得到了一些网页,不要以为这是一些普通的页面,其实它们是一些图书网站的资源列表,点击打开它来看看,怎么样?是不是所有资源一收眼底了?

使用其他关键字可能得到更多的资源:

在搜索框上输入:"index of /"cnki

再按搜索你就可以找到许多图书馆的CNKI、VIP、超星等入口!

在搜索框上输入:"index of /" ppt

再按搜索你就可以突破网站入口下载powerpint作品!

在搜索框上输入:"index of /"mp3

再按搜索你就可以突破网站入口下载mp3、rm等影视作品!

在搜索框上输入:"index of /"swf

再按搜索你就可以突破网站入口下载flash作品!

在搜索框上输入:"index of /"加上要下载的软件名

再按搜索你就可以突破网站入口下载软件!

在搜索框上输入:"index of /"AVI

再按搜索你就可以突破网站入口下载AVI视频

你会找到什么呢?同理,把AVI换为MPEG看看又会找到什么呢?呵呵!接下来不用我再教了吧?那就试一下你的手气吧!

"index of /" RMVB
"index of /" WMA
"index of /" MTV
"index of /" MPEG
以下是百度搜索排名
1. index of mpeg4
3. index of mp3
4. index of cnki
5. index of rmvb
6. index of rm
7. index of movie
8. index of swf

----------------------------------------------

下面要讨论的是各种Google的专门命令,我会简要解释每个命令并演示如何使用它来获取保密数据。  
[intitle:] 
“intitle:”帮助Google将搜索结果限制在那些标题中含有检索单词的页面。例如,“intitle:login password”(不包括引号)将返回标题中有单词“login”,页面中任何地方有单词“password”的那些页面的链接。  
类似的,如果想在网页的标题中检索多个单词,可以用“allintitle”来代替“intitle”得到标题中包含所有这些单词的网页列表。例如使用 “intitle:login intitle:password”跟使用“allintitle:login password”是一样的。  
[inurl:] 
“inurl:” 将搜索结果限制在那些URL中含有检索单词的页面。例如:“inurl:passwd”(不包括引号)将返回URL中有“passwd”的那些页面的链接。  
类似的,如果想在URL中检索多个单词,可以用“allinurl”来代替“inurl”得到URL中包含所有检索单词的网页列表。例如 “allinurl:etc/passwd”会查找URL中包含“etc”和“passwd”的页面。单词之间的“/”会被Google忽略掉。  
[site:] 
“site:” 将限制Google只在特定的站点或域中检索关键词。例如:“exploits site:hackingspirits.com”(不包括引号)将在所有“hackingspirits.com”域的链接页面中查找关键词 “exploits”。“site:”和“hackingspirits.com”之间不应有空格。  
[filetype:] 
“filetype:” 将限制Google只在internet上搜索特定扩展名的文件(就是doc,pdf或者ppt等等)。例如:“filetype:doc site:gov confidential”(不包括引号)将在所有政府域相关的网站中查找页面中或“.doc”文件中包含关键词“confidential”的扩展名为 “.doc”的文件。也就是结果会包含到所有政府网站中有confidential关键词的文档的链接。  
[link:] 
“link:” 将显示有到指定网页的链接的网页。例如:“link:www.securityfocus.com”会列出有到SecurityFocus的链接的网页。注意“link:”和网页url之间不应有空格。  
[related:] 
“related:” 将显示跟指定网页类似的网页。例如:“related:www.securityfocus.com”会列出跟SecurityFocus主页类似的网页。注意“related:”和网页url之间不应有空格。    
[passwd.txt site:]“passwd.txt site:”  将搜索指定URL包含密码的文件。例如:“passwd.txt site:hackingspirits.com” (不包括引号)将在“hackingspirits.com”中






搜索包含密码的文件,有时我们得到密码甚至还是明码的,有很多基于CGI/PHP/ASP 类型的留言板存在这种问题。 “site:hackingspirits.com”意思是只搜索“hackingspirits.com”的URL。   
同样,我们可以搜索一些顶级域名,比如:.net .org .jp .in .gr config.txt site:.jp admin.txt site:.tw 搜索首页的目录 首页是非常有用的,它会提供给你许多有用的信息。   
[cache:] 
“cache:” 将显示在Google cache中的网页。例如:“cache:www.hackingspirits.com”会列出Google cache中hackingspirits的主页。注意“cache:”和网页url之间不应有空格。  
如果查询串中包含其它词,Google会在cache的文档中高亮显示这些词。例如:“cache:www.hackingspirits.com guest”会显示在cache中的网页内容,并高亮显示“guest”。  
[intext:] 
“intext:” 会在特定的网站中搜索单词。它忽略links或URL和页面标题。例如:“intext:exploits”(不包括引号)将只返回页面中含有搜索关键词“exploits”的网页链接。  
[phonebook:] 
“phonebook:” 会搜索美国街道地址和电话号码信息。例如:“phonebook:Lisa+CA”会列出所有名字中有“Lisa”并且住在“加利福尼亚(CA)”的人的名字。这对那些想要挖掘个人信息的黑客来说是再好不过的工具了。  
Google黑客揭秘  
上面所说的Google查询语法能真正帮助人们来精确他们的搜索结果,得到他们真正想要的。  
现在Google如此智能,黑客们当然不会介意利用它从互联网上来挖掘更多本来不应该让他们知道的保密和隐私的信息。现在我将要详细讨论这些技术,展示黑客们是如何利用Google从网上挖掘信息的,以及如何利用这些信息来入侵远程服务器。  
利用“index of”与发来查找开放目录浏览的站点  
一个开放了目录浏览的WEB服务器意味着任何人都可以像浏览通常的本地目录一样浏览它上面的目录。这里我将讨论如何利用“index of”语法来得到开放目录浏览的WEB服务器列表。这对黑客来说是一种非常简单的信息搜集方法。试想如果得到了本不应该在internet上可见的密码文件或其它敏感文件,结果会怎样。下面给出了一些能轻松得到敏感信息的例子。  
Index of /admin Index of /passwd Index of /password Index of /mail 






"Index of /" +passwd 
"Index of /" +password.txt "Index of /" +.htaccess  
"Index of /secret" 
"Index of /confidential" "Index of /root" 
"Index of /cgi-bin""Index of /cgi-bin" site:.edu (不包含引号)你可以自己定义搜索的首页字符。这样就可以获得许多信息。 "Index of /credit-card" "Index of /logs" "Index of /config"  
利用“inurl”或“allinurl”寻找缺陷站点或服务器  
a. 利用“allinurl:winnt/system32/”(不包括引号)会列出所有通过web可以访问限制目录如“system32”的服务器的链接。如果你很幸运你就可以访问到“system32”目录中的cmd.exe。一旦你能够访问“cmd.exe”,就可以执行它,瞧!服务器归你所有了。 b. 利用“allinurl:wwwboard/passwd.txt”(不包括引号)会列出所有存在“WWWBoard 密码缺陷”的服务器的链接。想了解更多关于这个缺陷的知识,你可以参看下面的链接:http://www.securiteam.com/exploits/2BUQ4S0SAW.html c. 利用“inurl:bash_history”(不包括引号)会列出所有通过web可以访问“.bash_history”文件的服务器的链接。这是一个历史命令文件。这个文件包含了管理员执行的命令列表,有时还包含敏感信息例如管理员输入的密码。如果这个文件被泄漏并且包含加密的unix密码,就可以用“John The Ripper”来破解它。 d. 利用“inurl:config.txt”(不包括引号)会列出所有通过web可以访问 “config.txt”文件的服务器的链接。这个文件包含敏感信息,包括管理员密码的哈希值和数据库认证凭证。例如:Ingenium Learning Management System是一个由Click2learn,Inc开发的基于Web的Windows应用程序。Ingenium Learning Management System5.1和6.1版本以非安全的方式在config.txt文件中存储了敏感信息。更多相关内容请参看:http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/6M00H2K5PG.html  
其它类似的组合其它语法的“inurl:”或“allinurl:”用法: inurl:admin filetype:txt inurl:admin filetype:db inurl:admin filetype:cfg inurl:mysql filetype:cfg inurl:passwd filetype:txt inurl:iisadmin 
inurl:auth_user_file.txt inurl:orders.txt inurl:"wwwroot/*." inurl:adpassword.txt 






inurl:webeditor.php inurl:file_upload.php  
inurl:gov filetype:xls "restricted" 
index of ftp +.mdb allinurl:/cgi-bin/ +mailto  
利用“intitle”或“allintitle”寻找缺陷站点或服务器  
a. 利用[allintitle:“index of /root”](不包括括号)会列出所有通过web可以访问限制目录如“root”的服务器的链接。这个目录有时包含可通过简单Web查询得到的敏感信息。 b. 利用[allintitle:“index of /admin”](不包括括号)会列出所有开放如“admin”目录浏览权限的WEB站点列表链接。大多数Web应用程序通常使用“admin”来存储管理凭证。这个目录有时包含可通过简单Web查询得到的敏感信息。  
其它类似的组合其它语法的“intitle:”或“allintitle:”用法: intitle:"Index of" .sh_history intitle:"Index of" .bash_history intitle:"index of" passwd intitle:"index of" people.lst intitle:"index of" pwd.db intitle:"index of" etc/shadow intitle:"index of" spwd 
intitle:"index of" master.passwd intitle:"index of" htpasswd 
intitle:"index of" members OR accounts intitle:"index of" user_carts OR user_cart  
allintitle: sensitive filetype:doc allintitle: restricted filetype :mail 
allintitle: restricted filetype:doc site:gov

Fwd: Robot wars: after drones, a line we must not cross | Christof Heyns

We are on the dangerous threshold of investing in machines the power to make autonomous life-or-death decisions over humans

Drones are becoming dated technology: we may now be able to hand over some of the life-and-death decisions of war to robots.

From the perspective of those engaged in modern warfare, lethal autonomous robots (LARs) offer distinct advantages. They have the potential to process information and to act much faster than humans in situations where nanoseconds could make the difference. They also do not act out of fear, revenge or innate cruelty, as humans sometimes do.

A drone still involves a human "in the loop" – someone, somewhere presses the button. This is slowed down by satellite communications (think of the time-lag when foreign correspondents speak on TV) and these communications can be interrupted by the enemy. So why not take the human "out of the loop", and install an on-board computer that, independently, is able to identify and to trigger deadly force against targets without human intervention?

There are good reasons to be cautious about permitting this.

On a practical level, it is hardly clear that robotic systems can meet the minimum requirements set by the law of war for lethal decision-making. Popular culture, including sci-fi, celebrates the capabilities of robots, but robots are good at what they do only within a narrow range: their sensors give them tunnel-vision information and they are largely wired for quantitative work.

Soldiers in battle may lawfully target only combatants, and not civilians. Will a computer be able to make the value judgment that a group of people in plain clothing carrying rifles are not enemy combatants but hunters – or soldiers surrendering?

Civilian loss of life as "collateral damage" can be lawful only if it is proportionate to the military objective. This is essentially a qualitative judgement, requiring in many cases experience and common sense and an understanding of the larger picture t

Fwd: 思考,快与慢

该书出现了球与球拍的例子,似乎哪里见过?

《美国科学院院报》最近报道了损耗对判决的影响这一问题的研究情况。在这项研究中,8位不知情的受试者全部是以色列的保释官。他们每天都要审阅保释申请,而且不是按这些保释申请的时间顺序审阅的,这些保释官在每份申请上所用的时间很少,平均只有6分钟。(弃权相当于拒绝保释,只有35%的申请能获准通过。这些保释官作出每个决定所用的时间都有精确的记录,而且他们一日三餐的餐歇时间也有记录,分别是早餐时间、午餐时间和午间休息时间。)这项研究的设计者对两次餐歇间所能获得批准的申请数量进行了预测,结果发现每次用餐过后,获得批准的申请数量都会增加,有约65%的申请得到了批准。在保释官下一次用餐前的约两个小时内,批准率就开始稳步下降,在用餐之前刚好达到零。如你预想,这种结果令人难以接受,但各位设计者已经认真审核并排除了很多其他的原因。对这个数据最合理的解释却带来了负面信息:又累又饿的保释官容易否定保释申请。疲劳和饥饿都有可能影响他们的决定。

中國人要做的﹐更重要的是參與政治﹐把民主黨自由派和支持老黑以及老莫非法移民的

 Houston現在人口組成有40%多的老墨﹐20%多的老黑﹐白人隻有20%多。美國尤其以奧黑

主體民族成為老墨老黑為主,而白人會成為少數民族並被逐漸邊緣化,而以智力和勤奮而
非體力和暴力見長的亞洲人在老黑老莫高犯罪率弱肉強食的原始叢林中求生存是非常不

講民主平等人權﹐那是與虎謀皮﹐不殺你全家搶光你的錢姦淫你的女人和女兒你就要阿
彌陀佛了。況且人口素質是一個國家興亡的本質基礎﹐大量的老黑老墨層為美國主體後
﹐美國必然衰敗,除非現在開始矯正民主黨自由派的非法移民政策以及對黑人的妥協縱容.
有投票選舉權的國人為了自己和後代的利益﹐也一定要把民主黨和自由派選下去。更要

你就是腦殘無極限。
老墨也是很差勁的民族﹐不比老黑好多少﹐而且由於能生﹐比老黑更可怕。老黑的人口
比例從1776年建國到現在基本維持在12%﹐而老莫人口如不嚴加控制以後會成為美國的
主體民族。老莫是有不少打苦力的﹐但很多因為是非法移民﹐隻有打苦工才能填飽肚子。等把他們合法化﹐給了身份﹐還能指望他們象現在這樣肯幹了嗎﹖人性如此﹐到時候老黑吃福利的隊伍又擴大新成員了。老墨犯罪率高不高﹖你到加州看看﹐監獄裡都關著老莫的名字的犯人比例非常非常高(Perez, Sanchez,Ganzalus, Garcia.....)。休斯頓不好的小區無一例外是老墨或者老黑的比例高。如果說老黑是散兵遊勇﹐老墨的犯罪活動更有嚴格組織性和策略﹐手段也更殘忍和無情。這點你看看墨西哥的斬首﹐分屍﹐吊在高速公路大橋上的屍體就知道了。美國在這樣民主黨縱容非法移民﹐不取消非法移民出生公民權﹐美國30-50年以後就算完了。

Has the liberalisation of the oldest profession gone too far?

Nov 16th 2013 | BERLIN |From the print edition
She can get health insurance and a pension
她可获得健康和养老保险哦

HOW modern and liberated Germany’s Social Democrats and Greens sounded in 2001. They were in government and wanted to raise the legal and social status of prostitutes. So they enacted a law to remove the stigma from sex work by, for example, giving prostitutes full rights to health insurance, pensions and other benefits. “Exploiting” sex workers remained criminal, but merely employing them or providing them with a venue became legal. The idea was that responsible employers running safe and clean brothels would drive pimps out of the market.
2001年德国社会民主党和绿党还是执政党的时候,就提出娼妓合法化并提高妓女社会地位,听起来很前卫。他们立法消除卖淫的耻辱,比如赋予妓女所有健康、养老保险及其它社会福利。小姐“单干”仍属违法,但雇佣小姐合法了,源于雇主正当经营安全干净的妓院,将皮条客等社会闲杂人员驱逐出市场这一理念。

Germany thus embarked on an experiment in liberalisation just as Sweden, a country culturally similar in many ways, was going in the opposite direction. In 1999 the Swedes had made it criminal to pay for sex (pimping was already a crime). By stigmatising not the prostitutes but the men who paid them, even putting them in jail, the Swedes hoped to come close to eliminating prostitution.
德国效仿瑞典,虽然两国之间有不少相似之处。然而后者业已改变初衷,1999年瑞典立法将嫖娼列为犯罪,仅将支付嫖资之嫖客定罪,甚至入狱,而妓女无罪。瑞典希望以此来涤荡卖淫现象。

The two countries’ divergent paths have become hot political fodder in Germany. The centre-right camp led by Angela Merkel, the chancellor, voted against the 2001 prostitution law. In September it won the election but fell short of a majority in parliament. Mrs Merkel is now negotiating with the Social Democrats (SPD), the co-authors of the law, to form a coalition. And although the SPD is reluctant to acknowledge that it made an outright mistake, it is conceding that changes are needed.
两国思维分歧激发德国政治口水仗,由总理默克尔带领的偏右阵营(基民盟),投票反对2001年的娼妓立法。今年9月,基民盟赢得大选但没争取到议会多数席位。默克尔与当时立此法的社民党谈判,组成联合政府,虽然社民党不愿承认当时的明显谬误,亦认为此法应当修正。

Prostitution seems to have declined in Sweden (unless it has merely gone deep underground), whereas Germany has turned into a giant brothel and even a destination for European sex tourism. The best guess is that Germany has about 400,000 prostitutes catering to 1m men a day. Mocking the spirit of the 2001 law, exactly 44 of them, including four men, have registered for welfare benefits.
卖淫在瑞典正逐步衰微、走向地下,而德国却摇身一变成了欧洲大窑子,并荣登找小姐观光旅游目的地。估计德国每天有40万妓女为1百万嫖客服务,此现象与2001年立法精神相冲,这批从业人员中仅有44人,包括4名男妓,登记了政府最低生活保障。

The details vary regionally, because the federal states and municipalities decide where and how brothels may operate. (Berlin is the only city without zoning restrictions.) In some places, streetwalkers line up along motorways with open-air booths nearby for quickies. In others, such as Saarbrücken, near the border with a stricter country like France, entrepreneurs are investing in mega-brothels that cater to cross-border demand.
各地情况不同,联邦政府和地方政府决定妓院的经营方式(柏林是唯一不设限的城市)。一些地方,站街女在高速公路旁的电话亭排队接客,而毗邻法国的Saarbrücken市,因为法国对卖淫嫖娼管控严格,德国商人则在当地投资开设超大窑子,以客人满足跨境消费。

If all these sex workers were in the business of their own free will, that would still be within the spirit of the 2001 law. Prostitutes’ associations insist that this is largely the case. But nobody denies that many women become sex workers involuntarily. Of particular concern are girls from poor villages in Romania and Bulgaria who may have been forced, tricked or seduced to come to Germany. Once there, they are trapped as Frischfleisch (fresh meat) in brothels, perhaps because they owe money to their traffickers or fear reprisals against their families at home.
如果所有从业人员均出于自愿,这就不违反2001年的法律精神。小姐团体强调其成员大部分出于自愿,但所有人都承认部分小姐被迫卖淫,尤其是来自罗马尼亚和保加利亚贫困乡村的少女,被引诱至德国,成为窑子的“鲜肉”,因为欠人蛇钱及害怕家人遭报复,于是被迫卖淫。

Extreme opponents of prostitution in Germany, such as Alice Schwarzer, a radical feminist, conflate modern slavery and sex work, arguing that they are “inextricably entangled”. (Ms Schwarzer has issued a petition, signed by celebrities, to criminalise paying for sex as Sweden has.) Barbara Kavemann and Elfriede Steffan, two social researchers, say that slavery and sex work are in fact separate phenomena, and that occurrences of forced labour by Romanians and Bulgarians in the trade, as in agriculture and other sectors, “have little to do with the prostitution law” and much more with the accession of those countries to the European Union in 2007.
德国国内激烈反对者,如女权主义者Alice Schwarzer,将现代奴隶制与卖淫相提并论,认为两者盘根错节。Schwarzer起草了请愿书,建议仿效瑞典,将嫖娼列为非法,收集到大量名人签名。Barbara Kavemann与Elfriede Steffan两位社会研究人员,则认为奴隶制与卖淫是两种不同现象,罗马利亚保加利亚妓女被迫卖淫,跟农业人口流动相关,还有其他社会因素参杂,与2001年娼妓法无关,与2007年这几个国家加入欧盟亦无关。

Known cases of human trafficking have actually decreased in Germany, from 987 in 2001 to 482 in 2011. Sceptics counter that most cases never become known because the girls are afraid to testify. The link between liberalisation of prostitution and human trafficking thus remains controversial. One study of 150 countries found that legalisation expands the market for sex work and thus increases human trafficking. Prostitutes’ associations have attacked the study as poorly sourced.
事实上德国贩卖人口已知案例也在下降,从2001年987例下降到2011年482例。怀疑论者认为多数案例受害女性不敢声张。妓女解放与贩卖人口问题相当复杂。一项针对150个国家的研究指出,娼妓合法化令卖淫市场扩张,增加贩卖人口案例,小姐团体反对指控,称其引用数据来源稀少。

In the end, the policy choice comes back to culture and ideology, argues Susanne Dodillet at the University of Göteborg. Both the Swedish and the German laws originated in the feminist and left-leaning movements in these countries. But whereas progressive Swedes view their state as able to set positive goals, Germans (the Greens, especially) mistrust the state on questions of personal morality as a hypocritical and authoritarian threat to self-expression. Only this can explain why Swedes continue overwhelmingly to support their policy, and Germans theirs.
政策制定源于民族和国家之文化和理念,哥德堡大学Susanne Dodillet争论道:瑞典和德国的法国都源自女权主义和左翼运动,尽管进步的瑞典人认为政府能做出正确判断,但德国人(尤其绿党)认为政府在审查个人道德方面的举措既伪善又独裁、钳制个人言论表达。因此两国在各自表述中越走越远。

Why does cycling have podium girls?

Cyclist Chris Froome being kissed by podium girls
自行车运动员Chris Froome桃花满面

There are not many jobs that include cheek-kissing in the formal duties
包含吻脸颊这类内容的工作,往日真心不多。


Every stage of the Tour de France ends with the leading cyclists on the podium. There are always two women whose duty it is to give them their coloured jersey and kiss them on the cheek, writes Annie Flury.
环法赛每站都有一名领骑手站上颁奖台,一般有两名女性负责给选手颁发各种颜色领骑衫、并在选手脸颊附上香吻,Annie Flurry写道。

Some might view "podium girls" as a little anachronistic. But they are a feature in Europe's biggest races including the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana.
部分人觉得“颁奖女郎”似乎有点过时,她们可是欧洲大赛包括环意赛和环西赛的组成部分。

The Tour hostesses, as they are officially known, are chosen from hundreds who apply every year.
主办方从每年从数百人中挑选大家所熟知的颁奖女郎

Decades ago they were usually selected from the town hosting the stage finish and merely had to be under 30 and roughly the same height. Now hopefuls are generally put forward by modelling agencies and whittled down to just 20 by the Tour's main sponsor, French bank LCL.
几十年前,每分站选出统一高度,30岁以下的女性。如今,赛会主要赞助商里昂信贷银行,委托模特公司遴选,并将年龄降至20。

Magalie Thierry, who is studying for a PhD in biology, is working as a podium girl for the second year. "Each day working here seems like a dream."
生物博士后Magalie Thierry,做颁奖女郎2年了,“这里每天的工作恍如梦幻。”

The majority of the job is public relations, looking after VIPs and journalists, she says. "The podium is just 'a plus'. Maybe the ceremony could seem out of date but most of the public loves it. I think podium girls give a little touch of femininity to this sport."
颁奖女郎主要的工作是公关,照顾VIP和记者们,“颁奖是锦上添花”。颁奖环节颇过时,但大众似乎很受落。我想是因为颁奖女郎给自行车这项运动注入了女性的气息。

Peter Sagan was widely criticised for pinching a podium girl's bottom

The hostesses kiss the victor on the cheek, but, curiously, actually talking to the riders is a bit of a no-no.
女郎吻胜利者脸颊,很奇怪,与选手交谈却被禁止。

In 2003, podium girl Melanie Simonneau was sacked for accepting a note from stage winner George Hincapie. The couple went on to marry. Slovakian cyclist Peter Sagan had to apologise earlier this year after pinching the bottom of a hostess at the end of the Tour de Flanders.
2003年,颁奖女郎Melanie Simonnea被辞退,因为收了分站冠军George Hincapie递的纸条,两人后来完婚。斯洛伐克选手Peter Sagan,今年为自己在环荷赛末段捏颁奖女郎屁股的行为道歉。

And there are those who think of the whole business of podium girls as a little antediluvian.
还有很多人认为颁奖女郎这类物事非常原始。

"I would like to think that by the 21st Century women would be more than just beautiful ornaments to stand beside successful men," says Laura Weislo, deputy editor of Cyclingnews.com. "The only time that you see a female presence on television in professional cycling is the models on the podium, and it only heightens the inequality in the sport."
“我想一个21世纪的女人不应只是一件拄在男人旁边的漂亮物件”,Cyclingnews.com副主编Laura Weislo说,“专业自行车赛事当中,你唯一能看见的女性就是颁奖女郎,这加剧了这项运动的性别不平等。”

Kelly "Minx" Riordan, a journalist and podium hostess in cyclo-cross, where riders tackle shorter courses over more varied terrain, says the Tour hostesses are an essential part of tradition. "It wouldn't be a proper ceremony without them," she says. "These are talented women in their own right. They shouldn't be dismissed simply as eye candy."
绰号“浪姐”的记者Kelly Riordan,同时也担任自行车公路越野赛事的颁奖女郎。公路越野赛程短,覆盖地形更广泛Kelly Riordan说,颁奖女郎是传统的重要组成部分,若缺少她们,颁奖仪式将有所欠缺,有头脑的女性腹有诗书气自华,不应该被简单视为养眼花瓶。

富士康

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/evanosnos/2012/01/will-the-chinese-turn-against-the-iphone.html

Apple’s recent troubles have reached the Stewart threshold. When “The Daily Show” did a send-up of working conditions at Foxconn, the mammoth Apple manufacturer in China, Jon Stewart pointed to the news that some Foxconn workers had staged a protest and threatened to commit suicide en masse. Judging by the audience reaction to Stewart’s “Fear Factory” bit, his recent focus on the issue is in step with a dawning American sense of ickiness about what goes into the electronics we love.

The “Daily Show” piece was part of a crescendo that has plucked longstanding questions about Apple’s supply chain from the business and tech pages and thrust them into the mainstream. The radio program “This American Life” excerpted a version of “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs,” in which the monologist Mike Daisey performs his impressions of boarding a plane to Shenzhen, hiring a translator, and trying find out who made his Apple products. On Sunday, the Times subjected Apple to an exercise in economic archeology, holding up the iPhone like a shard of pottery from which to reconstruct the decline and fall of American manufacturing. (In many of these cases, Apple’s traditional refusal to respond in substance does not come off well. The approach used to appear stylishly aloof; now it just looks embarrassed.)

All of this makes it especially strange to hear that Apple had to shut down sales of the iPhone earlier this month after mobs of shoppers (and scalpers) went berserk at the store in Beijing. Huh? Is this the sweatshop-equivalent of the cognitive dissonance that allows working-class conservatives in America to imagine that Newt Gingrich has their best interests at heart?

Here are some possible explanations why shoppers in Beijing are not as aggrieved at Apple as Jon Stewart would be:

iPhone suicides, believe it or not, are not news to the Chinese. Nobody has done more aggressive reporting on the factory conditions at Foxconn than the Chinese press. Before foreigners noticed, newspapers in eastern and southern China were investigating the deaths of workers and Chinese bloggers were documenting more details about their daily lives than foreign visitors could hope to obtain. It’s one of those examples of how erratic the Chinese world of information is these days: the Chinese press is throttled on many issues, but when it concerns workplace conditions—or, better yet, a factory with a boss in Taiwan—the issue resonates with enough notes from old socialist hymns that it gets reported in astonishing detail.


Things have been even worse. As the columnist Nick Kristof put it in a comment on “This American Life,” “it’s a very awkward thing to defend sweatshops,” but consider the enduring effects of rural poverty: “My wife’s ancestral village is in southern China, not too far from Foxconn. And people in that village went from a really grim kind of lifestyle, basically in the rice paddies. And for them, and indeed for many Chinese, the grimness of factories like Foxconn was better than the grimness of rice paddies.” This doesn’t let Americans off the hook to care about it, but it helps you understand the Chinese view. For an in-depth look at the lives of assembly-line workers in China, consider reading “Factory Girls,” by Leslie Chang.

Factories are far away. How is it that so many men and women can covet iPhones to near-riot-levels, when they are only one or two relatives removed from the workers in those factories? Chinese buyers can be quick to boycott a brand that “hurts the feelings of the Chinese people,” so why not now? Perhaps it’s because the clamor for prosperity has atomized people to such a degree that it can be hard to recognize what anyone has in common. It’s easy to put aside a worker’s complaint, in other words, when you’re on the cusp—in reality or in the imagination—of leaving that life behind and saving up for an iPhone of your own.

俄杜马选举

这两天国际时政焦点当属俄杜马选举,先来一篇环球评论调整下口味,后面会分别译出西方评论。

http://opinion.huanqiu.com/roll/2011-12/2235957.html

社评:俄选票流向变化的多重启示


摘要:中国社会的理性将长期面临冲击和考验。中国必须走向民主,但要通过学习和政治创新获得高于西方社会的活力,而不能把西方的东西在我们巨大的国家里生搬硬套,把我们自己变成“亚西方国家”,甘居政治竞争及综合竞争的下游。

  支持普京的统一俄罗斯党在国家杜马选举中获得勉强一半的选票,比该党预期的少很多。西方舆论一致认为,这次选举是普京的“重大挫折”,与一天前对该选举是“徒有其表”甚至“胡闹”的愤怒指责相比,昨天的西方舆论普遍挺高兴的。


  这件事告诉我们,在互联网时代,民意不是那么容易“操纵”的。西方对非西方国家这方面的指责有些有根据,但有很多是夸张及大批判式的。一个国家政治制度在多大程度上是合理或不合理的,评判权决不能由西方垄断。


  因为这次支持普京的统一俄罗斯党得票率大幅下降,这个变化趋势西方愿意看到,他们的评判调门也随之发生变化。但统一俄罗斯党毕竟保住了杜马多数席位, 继续成为执政党,西方舆论于是有所保留。他们的评论是绕着弯的:尽管这次选举执政党做了大量手脚,但普京仍然遭受“重大挫折”。


  由于普京是对西方奉行强硬政策的象征,把他选上来和把他选下去的结果,而非过程的公正与否,更像是西方认定俄罗斯选举属于“假民主”或“真民主”的真正政治基线。


  俄罗斯选票流向的变化还告诉我们,在西方式民主条件下,长期保持社会大的政治共识是困难的。社会的政治分裂很容易出现,在走向这种民主的同时,社会必须有能力驾驭这样的分裂,使它不造成破坏性后果。


  一旦引入竞争性选举,一党长期执政遭遇挑战大概是迟早的事。西方用几百年时间形成对政党轮替的熟练使用,东方国家能否在不付出很大社会代价的情况下,用较短时间“学好”这种政治模式,现在尚无令人信服的答案。


  东方国家接受西方政治最彻底的是日本,但日本的自民党一党执政在选举条件下持续了50多年,那段时间总体上是日本发展最快的时期,当前日本频换首相、国家无法做出重大改革决定,日本显然并未走完它的政治过渡。


  如果俄罗斯当前的选举文化定型下来,统一俄罗斯党终有一天下台是可以预期的。脱离普京路线的俄罗斯将如何处理国家的权力分配,显然也有不确定性。


  人类对国家制度层面的政治学知识相当匮乏。尽管从理性的角度看,人类不可能只有一种社会治理模式,世界在西方制度下的“一元化”不是人类文明的福音。但西方现在试图将这种“一元化”在世界范围内强行推进,并努力论证这样做的政治合法性。


  中国社会的理性将长期面临冲击和考验。中国必须走向民主,但要通过学习和政治创新获得高于西方社会的活力,而不能把西方的东西在我们巨大的国家里生搬硬套,把我们自己变成“亚西方国家”,甘居政治竞争及综合竞争的下游。


  意识形态在世界的流传从来都是服务于利益扩张的。西方对非西方国家现在也正是这样做的。有人在分析西方对中国的“西化”和“分化”时说,西方真正愿意 的是“分化”中国,而中国的“西化”只应当是一定程度上的。如果中国被完全“西化”,却没有“分化”,甚至更团结,这比今天的中国更不符合西方的利益。


  这种说法有没有道理,让我们用心去观察吧。

社交媒体重定位

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/15/world/asia/china-social-media-rules-weighed.html?ref=technology

China: Social Media Rules Weighed

By KEITH BRADSHER
Published: October 14, 2011

With the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party scheduled to begin meeting Saturday, Wang Chen, a senior propaganda official, said that social media need to be more tightly regulated. The government seems likely to follow through on many hints that it would step up regulation of various Twitter-like microblogs like Weibo, said Bill Bishop, an independent analyst specializing in social media.

一名高级宣传干部陈旺(音译)称,政府需对社交媒体加强监管。 中共中央委员预定本周六开会。

社交媒体独立分析人士比尔· 毕夏普表示,种种迹象表示中国政府倾向对多个与Twiiter相似的微博网站加以控制,比如新浪微博(Weibo.com)。

A Step Toward Trust With China

A Step Toward Trust With China
By MIKE MULLEN

THE military relationship between the United States and China is one of the world’s most important. And yet, clouded by some misunderstanding and suspicion, it remains among the most challenging. There are issues on which we disagree and are tempted to confront each other. But there are crucial areas where our interests coincide, on which we must work together.
美中之间的军事关系是世界上最重要的。至目前为止,虽然双方有一些误解和猜忌,但是两国在一些关键领域仍存有共同利益,我们要为此努力。

So we need to make the relationship better, by seeking strategic trust.
两国战略互信,才能使双方关系更进一步。

How do we do that?
我们该怎样做?

First, we’ve got to keep talking. Dialogue is critical.
首先,两国需要展开对话,对话是异常重要的。

A good bit of misunderstanding between our militaries can be cleared up by reaching out to each other. We don’t have to give away secrets to make our intentions clear, just open up a little.
两国军队之间的误解有相当一部分可以通过接触来消除。双方不必暴露各自的军事机密来表明诚意,只需开放,加强交流。

That’s why I invited my counterpart in the People’s Liberation Army, Gen. Chen Bingde, to the United States in May, and it’s why he was my host in China two weeks ago. We broke new ground by, among other things, showing him Predator drone capabilities in detail and a live-fire exercise; the Chinese reciprocated with a tour of their latest submarine, a close look at an SU-27 jet fighter and a complex counterterrorism exercise.
因此我邀请对方同级官员,中国人民解放军陈秉德将军将军5月访美,礼尚往来,在陈将军的邀请下,两周前我也访问了中国。双方有突破性进展,我们向中方展示了掠食者无人侦察机的打击能力以及实弹演习【人民网译为“救火“演习】;中方回馈,向我方展示了最新型潜艇,苏-27战机,以及反恐作战演习。

Our discussions were candid and forthright. General Chen made no bones about his concerns about American arms sales to Taiwan, and I made it clear that the United States military will not shrink from our responsibilities to allies and partners. He said the P.L.A.’s strategic intentions were purely defensive; I said that neither the skills they were perfecting nor their investments seemed to support that argument.
双方对话坦白直率。陈将军亦毫无保留,表示关切美国对台军售问题,他称,中国人民解放军的战略意图纯粹是防卫性的。我重申美国军方一定履行作为战略伙伴的义务,并指出解放军的战术素养及军费投入都无法证明它是“防卫性“的。

Not exactly cordial, but at least we were talking.
虽然谈不上很诚恳,但至少我们在对话。

Second, we need to focus on the things we have in common.
第二,两国需要求同。

We’re both maritime nations with long coastlines and economies dependent on unhindered trade. We both face threats of drug trafficking, piracy and the movement of weapons of mass destruction. We both want stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Pakistan. We both recognize the need for coordinated international humanitarian aid and disaster relief.
两国同是拥有长长海岸线的海洋国家,经济都依赖自由贸易,同样面对来自毒品,走私以及大规模杀伤性武器的威胁,同样希望朝鲜半岛和平,同样认同国际人道主义援助以及扶贫的理念。

These are challenges we can tackle together, and missions we can plan and train for, and perhaps someday execute side by side. Our staffs signed a few initiatives in that regard, including a commitment to conduct joint counter-piracy exercises in the Gulf of Aden this year.
两国需要共同面对,解决一些问题,终有一天会并肩前进。在这种愿望下,美中将开展一系列军事交流项目,包括今年在亚丁湾进行联合反海盗演习。

Good steps all, but there is a long way to go.
迈出有进展性的步伐,后面仍有相当长一段路。

We still don’t see eye-to-eye with China over military operating rights in the South China Sea. We still don’t fully understand China’s justification for the rapid growth in its defense spending or its long-term military modernization goals. And we don’t believe that China should be allowed to resolve disputes in contested waters by coercing smaller nations. Instead, as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has made clear, we advocate a collaborative diplomatic process among all parties to resolve disputes under international law. And we need better mechanisms to deal with inevitable tensions.
我们始终不认为中方拥有在南中国海调配军队的权利,也看不清楚中国在军费快速增长和长期军队现代化建设后面的真实意图,我们也不相信中国能够(被国际允许)通过压制弱小邻国来解决南海边界争端。

That said, these sticking points aren’t all bad. It’s all right to disagree sometimes, to have substantial differences.
有争议不全是坏事情,观点相左的情况时有发生,也是很正常的。

In fact, sometimes bluntness and honesty are exactly what’s needed to create strategic trust. And we will need more of it. Our military relations have only recently begun to thaw, but China’s government still uses them as a sort of thermostat to communicate displeasure. When they don’t like something we do, they cut off ties. That can’t be the model anymore. Nor can we, for our part, swing between engagement and over-reaction. That’s why the commitment by President Obama and President Hu Jintao to improve military-to-military relations is so important. Real trust has to start somewhere. And it shouldn’t be subject to shifting political winds.
事实上,取得战略互信,有时候需要双方更加坦诚,互相退让。美中军方间的关系开始回暖,但中方仍利用这种关系,在不认同我们某些做法的时候,切断双方联系。这种模式不能再持续下去了。同样,美方也不能采取在对话和过度反应之间摇摆的办法。因此奥巴马总统与胡锦涛总书记均认为加强双边军事合作非常重要。真正的互信要从某处开始,并且不受政治风向影响。

So, General Chen and I are considering more frequent discussions, more exercises, more personnel exchanges. We both believe that the younger generation of military officers is ready for closer contact, and that upon their shoulders rests the best hope for deeper, more meaningful trust.
我和陈将军都同意加强讨论,多搞联合演习和个人交流。我和他都认为年轻一代军官都已经准备好对话,以良好的愿望和心态迎接更深入的互信。

I’m not naïve. I understand the concerns of those who feel that any cooperation benefits China more than the United States. I just don’t agree. This relationship is too important to manage through blind suspicion and mistrust. We’ve tried that. It doesn’t work.
我不是想入非非,并且了解某些人认为加强合作有益于中国多于我国自身,我不同意这种观点,美中关系太重要了,过去的经验证明,盲目和猜忌不能解决问题。

I’m not suggesting we look the other way on serious issues, that we abandon healthy skepticism, or that we change our military’s focus on the region. But we need to keep communication open and work hard to improve each interaction.
我并不建议抛弃正确的审时度势,使用别的方式处理重大问题,或者改变我军在亚太地区的部署方针。但是美中双方需要加强沟通,努力改善关系。

We can shrink from this opportunity, or rise to it. We can let narrow interests and suspicion define our relationship, or work toward more transparency, more pragmatic expectations of each other, and more focus on our common challenges. That would be a great start toward strategic trust.
面对如此机遇,我国可以选择退缩,也可以从中变得强大;可以靠盲目猜忌去处理双边关系,也可以通过更长远的眼光,更加灵活的手法来迎接双方的共同挑战。这将是两国战略互信的一个重要开始。

Girls eat only half their five-a-day

http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/jul/21/teenagers-children-diets-research-health

Girls eat only half their five-a-day - research
from SocietyGuardian - news, comment and analysis on the public and voluntary sectors | guardian.co.uk by Denis Campbell


Doctors express concern over high levels of saturated fat and too little fruit, vegetables and iron in many teenagers' diets
儿童食谱中饱和脂肪含量高,蔬菜、水果、铁含量太低,医生对此表示关注。

Doctors have voiced fears about teenagers' health after new government research showed that many children's diets contain too much saturated fat and too little fruit, vegetables and iron.
医生提醒市民注意,政府调查显示儿童膳食中饱和脂肪多,蔬菜水果和铁元素含量小。

Girls' eating habits emerged as a particular concern: those aged 11 to 18 consume on average only 2.7 of the recommended five portions a day of fruit and vegetables, with just 5% eating what official guidelines say are needed for good health. Boys the same age eat too little as well, with an average of 3.1 portions a day, and just 13% having the full five a day.
少女的饮食习惯引起社会关注,专家表示11-18岁年龄段每天需进食五份蔬菜水果,仅有5%少女饮食达标,总体平均每天消耗2.7份。男生情况类似,有13%达标,总体平均每天消耗3.1份。

Teenage girls are meant to consume 8mg a day of iron, but 44% do not do so, according to findings from the annual National Diet and Nutrition Surveys for 2008/09 and 2009/10. That suggests that they are eating too little bread, cereals, meat, meat products, fish, eggs and nuts.
少女每日需摄取8毫克铁,国家营养饮食调查委员会2008年9月至2009年10月数据显示,大约44%的少女没有达到标准。数据表明少女膳食中面包、谷物、肉和肉类产品,鱼、蛋以及坚果含量太少。

The results prompted the Department of Health to warn that children's "poor eating habits risk storing up a number of potential problems for later life, such as heart disease and some cancers".
卫生部发出警告:不良饮食习惯对日后健康造成印象,容易得诸如心脏病和癌症等疾病。

The survey also showed that children of all age groups continue to consume more than the recommended amount of saturated fats Adults typically get 12.8% of their food energy from these, which should not exceed 11%. It is the same with sugar: intake of non-milk extrinsic sugars – sugars that have been added to food or released during processing – provides more than the recommended 11% of food energy in 19- to 64-year-olds and children aged four and over.
此次调查表明,全年龄组饱和脂肪摄入均超标,成人每日摄取饱和脂肪所含能量占总摄入能量12.8%,超过11%的标准。糖的摄入亦超标,19-64岁年龄段,4岁以上儿童摄入各类添加糖的能量占总摄入能量超过11%的标准。

"These new figures show that a significant number of children are overweight, and equally worryingly, the majority of our teenagers don't eat as healthily as they should," said Professor Terence Stephenson, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. "It's naive to think we can defuse the 'ticking time-bomb' of long-term effects on health with simply a nudge here and a nudge there. Voluntary agreements with industry are fine as far as they go but what will make a difference is an evidence-based, and possibly regulatory, approach to protecting and promoting our children's health."
“数字表明相当一部分儿童超重,大部分儿童饮食习惯不健康。”皇家学院儿科主任Terence Stephenson说,“不良饮食习惯影响健康是长期过程,那些认为我们能轻易拆除定时炸弹的想法相当幼稚,生产企业自律和监管非常重要,但要建立在科学研究、实验支撑的基础上,循序渐进,行之有效的改变。

Kawther Hashem, co-ordinator of the Children's Food Campaign, said: "We are highly concerned that teenagers' diets are becoming increasingly unhealthy, boosting their risk of heart disease, cancer and other illnesses as adults. The government has failed to acknowledge the role the junk food industry plays in undermining young people's health. As long as children and teenagers are bombarded by junk food marketing, they will be encouraged to make unhealthy dietary choices."
儿童饮食协会联络员Kawther Hashem说:”我们对儿童不良的饮食习惯感到忧虑,他们长大的过程中,得心脏病、癌症的几率相对增加。政府没有意识到垃圾食物工业正在损害儿童的健康,只要垃圾食物到处营销和广告轰炸,儿童就会养成不健康的饮食习惯。

Health minister Paul Burstow admitted that the population's food habits were a concern. "Over the last ten years we have not seen the improvements we should have," he said. He insisted the coalition's controversial public health policies, especially its responsibility deal involving food and alcohol producers as well as some health charities, would help tackle obesity.
卫生部长Paul Burstow表示政府已经注意到民众的饮食问题,他说:“过去10年来,我们没有看到本该有的进步。”他坚持联合政府的民众健康计划,特别是食品酒类生产商和健康慈善机构的联合立法,能够有效遏制肥胖。

But Hashem said it was "ridiculous for government to argue that companies like Mars, McDonald's, PepsiCo and Pizza Hut should write the government's health policies. They have no interest in young people eating more fruit and vegetables. They make their profits peddling sweets, fizzy drinks and processed foods."
Hashem反驳道:“玛氏、麦当劳、百事可乐、必胜客这些公司为政府制定健康政策,简直叫人笑掉大牙,他们对年轻人多吃水果蔬菜不感冒,相反,他们让年轻人多卖糖果、碳酸饮料和加工食品才能涨荷包。

More encouragingly, the Department of Health, which co-funded the studies, said: "Younger children's eating habits are improving, with parents taking positive steps to give their kids a healthier diet with fewer sweets, fizzy drinks, chocolate, and also switching them to high-fibre cereals. Comparing this survey with the previous survey in 1997, younger children (age 4-10) appear to be switching to high-fibre breakfast cereals from non-high-fibre cereals, eating more fruit and vegetables, and less confectionery and soft drinks," said a spokesman.
另外,卫生部资助此次研究,其发言人说:”当今年轻人的饮食习惯日趋合理,父母让孩子少吃糖果、巧克力,少喝碳酸饮料,多吃高纤维的谷物。与1997的调查相比较,现在4-10岁儿童吃更多高纤维谷物,更多水果,少吃糖果和少喝软性饮料。

Growing numbers of adults are now using lower-fat milk than before, while the general intake of transfats, which have been linked to heart disease, is well below the recommended maximum.
饮用低脂奶的成年人数增加,乳品中饱和脂肪会引致心血管疾病,低脂奶中的饱和脂肪比食用标准低很多。

Professor Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer, said it was important for teenagers to have a balanced diet in order to help ward off illnesses such as cancer and heart disease as adults.
英国主要医官,Dame Sally Davies教授称,儿童养成均衡饮食习惯对预防成人癌症和心血管疾病非常重要。

鳳樓老襟投訴被截胡

陳家偉叫雞衰打尖

民主黨前總幹事陳家偉涉嫌嫖妓事件餘波未了,本報獲得目擊者提供的一手資料,指事發時陳家偉因為「打尖」,惹來排隊等候的嫖客不滿,因而向報社舉報其「惡行」,若事件屬實,陳家偉可謂衰在不守秩序和「猴擒」,令其名譽掃地,堪稱是最大的教訓。 採訪:專案組

本報昨日接獲一名男子來電,對方化名X先生,並坦承自己是嫖客,並講述當日事發經過,「鹹網討論區有好多留言,都大讚香檳大廈陀地妹『婷婷』好正,又後生,身材又好,仲好好服務添!幾嚿水消費絕對物有所值,我都係睇留言先至去幫襯。」

自稱熟客搶入閘
X先生稱,當日他去到香檳大廈,在「陀地區」找到「婷婷」的鳳樓,當時已經有3個人在門口排隊,他本來想去其他鳳樓拍門,但心想一場來到,等等也無所謂,況且這麼多人等,相信「婷婷」的口碑是真的。
他又說:「我等成個半鐘頭,先至輪到我排頭位,見到鳳樓道門打開,上一個客行出,我諗:仲唔輪到我,於是行入去;點知呢個時候,陳家偉就行埋打尖,自稱係熟客,唔該都冇聲,大搖大擺入去。
X先生大表不滿,因為他家住紅磡,而陳家偉以前是九龍城區議員,所以認得出他,於是向報社舉報其行蹤,結果令事件曝光。
本報記者昨日曾致電陳家偉手機,了解打尖的指控是否屬實,但已無法聯絡,記者亦到過香檳大廈鳳樓,已不見「婷婷」芳蹤,令幾名慕名而來的嫖客大表掃興;據知情者透露,本港大部份陀地鳳姐,都是受僱賣淫集團,據知「婷婷」亦屬此類,已被安排到其他地區鳳樓接客。
此外,警方懷疑「婷婷」租用的房並非一樓一鳳,而是屬違例的「一樓多鳳」,已對此展開調查,暫未有人被捕。

事件引起政界譁然
本周二(12日),陳家偉被人發現光顧尖沙嘴香檳大廈一鳳姐「婷婷」,在房間逗留40分鐘後,女管房替「完事」的陳開門送客。陳見到記者即狼狽逃跑,其後承認背黨、瞞妻光顧鳳樓,又辯稱付錢給鳳姐做「訪談」,並叫全裸鳳姐在他面前示範各種性愛姿勢,他在旁提點如何才是安全性行為。
事件曝光後,引起政界譁然,陳隨即辭去民主黨總幹事職務,並申請退出民主黨,並獲得主席何俊仁批准,他亦發表聲明,對今次事件影響民主黨聲譽感到內疚及道歉。
