28 November Bids to rein in watchdog set to backfireIt’s no surprise for government anywhere in the world not to enjoy the watchdog role of the press, but those as daring as the one in Dongguan of South China’s Guang Dong province are few and far between.
The city’s Party publicity department, the overseas of the local media, announced recently that it would issue a special journalist certificate in order to facilitate the work of the reporters.
The move, which some think is aiming to block the journalists deemed unfriendly by the local gov’t, a gross violation of journalists’ rights to do their work.
That must be highly unexpected by the Dongguan officials responsible for the publicity work. Dongguan is by no means innovative in this regard. Just six months ago, Yunnan Provincial Higher People’s Court assigned passes to a selected group of 14 journalists for special access to its court system.
That also triggered(触动,引发) strong protests from the press, because by granting such a privilege to a selected group, the Yuannan Higher Court has actually denied the majority of the journalists’ rights stipulated by the law.
Both actions had challenged the authority (权威) of the General Administration of Press and Publication,the sole gov’t institution in the country to issue a press card. The untold message of Yunan and Dongguan is equally clear. If you are not cooperative, you might never get such a pass.
In the past few years, the growing role of watchdog played by the news media, esp the new organizations from other cities and provinces has already become a big headache for many local officials.
It’s not difficult to tell how upset some officials are when their policies and practices are criticized by the news media. The images of their cities that they try to build for years have been tarnished(失去光泽), casting a possible shadow on their career in climbing the official hierarchy.
The latest examples would be about how law enforcement officials in Shanghai used questionable entrapment on illegally operated taxis, how a gov’t dept in Xi’an, Shanxi province, vowed to ban an estimated 30,000 garbage collectors from picking recyclable in trashbins. And how tourism officials in Yangshuo, Guangxi, pretended unaware of the precarious balloon services, which killed a number of Dutch tourists recently.
Ironically, criticism and debate of such policies and practices are often much more heated in the media outside Shanghai, Xi’an and Yanghsuo, as local news media are becoming more mindful about confronting local gov’t.
While many officials still like to offer various edicts to the local news organizations, they are troubled by the face that criticism from outside their jurisdiction is out of control. Therefore, the idea of producing a special press pass should come as no surprise. (…come up with more soon) 10 September 天堂
10 August 彼岸花开彼岸花开
这是谁和谁立下的毒誓?
现在的生活,有一部分(生活的状态可以无联系的分割成及部分)过的是一种类似老年的生活,或者准确地说,就是安详,沉稳并且悠闲自在,虽然还没有那种让自己的生活纯粹悠闲起来的实力,可这在我看来仅仅是一种心态问题,于琐碎生活并无关联,不管富裕或拮据;若硬要将其联系起来,那么也就开始变得不安详、沉稳并且悠闲自在了。
昨天在去超市的路上,偶然发现了一种原来北京也可以生长的“彼岸花”。花的名字很好听,琢磨起来落到笔下,也觉得甚是美丽,可是开口说“彼岸花”却觉得有点矫情,还是叫它“石蒜”吧。以前歌中唱过,片中演过,书中写过,原以为如此神秘的花,如今竟出现在平常生活中,多多少少觉得有点惊奇。那时候所得知的“彼岸花”,神乎其神,生于沼泽或墓地,是传说中冥界的象征,叶落花开,花不见叶,生生相错,美丽凄凉。被过度神话的花朵,一度使我迷惑世间是否真正存在这样一种神秘的植物,是否只存在于那一个个色彩斑斓,流传已久的神话故事中?如今这样生生地,鲜亮地出现在眼前,那么必然要占为己有的。花店的老板娘倒也慷慨,送了我个廉价的塑料花盆,拿回家洗洗干净,然后拿着小铲子和塑料袋去花园里挖土。栽种的时候小心翼翼,争取不要伤到它那娇嫩的小根。待栽好了,就摆在阳台;一共六株,其四盆栽,其二水植。值得庆幸的是转栽到我这里并没有使它们蔫枯,现在看来依然那么生机勃勃,火一样红,血一样浓。隔了一天,我又它们分别困了水,清晨起来淅淅沥沥喷洒几下,然后搬来把小凳,悠哉地泡壶绿茶,看着大理石台上的形态各异的花朵,赏心悦目之极。
这看上去类似老年人的生活,在我以为,这样的状态是任何年龄段的人都可以拥有并享受的。只不过能有幸拥有这种生活状态的, 唯以老年人居多,所以一旦被提起,便立刻联想到“老年”二字。就这样的每天抽出2~3个小时,过一过所谓的“老年人生活”,对于我们年轻人来说,也未尝不是一件乐事。
关于“彼岸花”的神秘传说,我也查到了许多,其中一个说的是,很久很久以前,在城市的边缘开满了大片大片的彼岸花,也就是后来的曼珠沙华。守护彼岸花的是两个花妖,一个叫曼珠,另一个叫沙华。他们守护了几千年,却从来没有彼此见过一面,都为是花开的时候看不到叶子,有叶时却没有花,叶存时,花未开,花开时,叶已逝,就这样, 花与叶两不相见,生生相错。他们疯狂地想念的彼此,并被这种痛苦折磨着。终于有一天,他们决定违背神的旨意,偷偷地见一次面。那一年的曼珠沙华红艳艳地开着,被惹眼的绿色无声地衬托着,格外的妖冶绚丽。神发现后,一怒怪罪下来,作为惩罚,下了一条诅咒,命曼珠与沙华打入轮回,永远不能在一起,生生世世在人间受此折难。于是,曼珠沙华又被称作“彼岸花”,意思是开在天国的花朵,妖艳而悲伤,像一双双伸向天堂祈祷的手掌,为了一句誓言而彼此守护,生生世世。
25 May 领略大师-Ennio Morricone 光影音乐会 我珍贵的周末两天。要做的已经安排好。
昨晚,来到人民大会堂,看那位我敬仰的、已经81岁的老头莫里克纳。我不知道他下次什么时候会来中国。但我清楚,也许这是我一生唯一一次能见到他。虽然在他的电影音乐里我已经与他相遇多次。 他一生的将近500部电影原声。很多声音,在写字的时候,电影开场的时候,可以轻易的判断出来。眼泪会轻易的流出来。
他是有史以来最伟大的电影音乐作者。我怀着私心希望他能长留于世。
这就是好东西的魅力吧。心甘情愿的为它流眼泪,你甚至不用看过电影。试试他的音乐你就知道了。
好音乐是人人都能听懂、可以轻易的穿透心魄的眼泪。
音乐真是神奇的力量,你可以完全不懂,可一样被打动。它真是世界的语言。
很多情况下,人会觉得这样的感受对于艺术来说是矫情的,那是因为不是所有的艺术家都能做到这一点。正如能体会到这一点的也并不是所有观者。我还记得马斯洛的“需要层级理论”,而共鸣是一种非常高要求高水平的体验,那真的是可遇而不可求。
我带着一份憧憬的心情去迎接这位我所无限崇敬的电影音乐大师。感谢他给我的所有关于音乐的美好享受和对电影给予的崇高理想。我做好所有的准备让自己悲伤。我和所有人一样,愿意选择轻松、愉悦、诙谐、搞笑,但有些时候,我在拼命的花钱让自己感受痛苦,我想,昨晚以及之前的晚上,一定有人在人民大会堂流泪,为这份长久的感动落泪。为我热爱的这位81岁高龄的老人。他满头白发。 他会在那里挥舞着指挥棒。他的意大利莫里克纳乐团。那些曲子是他写的。那500部电影一一闪过。整个人生一一闪过。 10 May “Women better fund managers than men”
“Women better fund managers than men” Poll finds most in the industry believe females are more suited for the job.
Females traits – such as risk aversion and attention to detail – make women better fund managers than men.
According to the poll by Ignites Europe, the majority of asset management professionals believe that women hold the upper hand when ti comes to asset management.
Men do not possess the skills needed to match the success of their female counterparts, say two-thirds of professionals.
A female respondent to the poll from a US-based fund house, who wants to remain anonymous, says women make better managers because the are more “methodical, loyal and consistent”.
She say: “Decisions of risk are weighted appropriately with other factors like compensation and the next career move. The do not ignore gut feelings.”
“To generalize, then men go shopping, their approach is that of a hunter who must conquer; so portfolios tend to reflect behaviour of a herd – ignoring their instincts.”
She adds: “By contrast, when women go shopping they are goal-oriented and approach it as an experience. The benefits are that women tend to invest more time to spot trends and independently use multiple senses to determine value before they make a decision”
A female professional at French asset management house agrees. Women are “less impulsive and more thorough”, she says.
This comes as figures released last week by French fund association AFG identified that equity funds managed by women have produced more consistent results than those managed by men, over a five-year, three-year and one-year period.
The results show that although female-led funds are rarely among the top performers, they are less frequently found among those products at the bottom of the performance league table and are much less volatile than those funds run by men.
The women involved in the AFG findings claim their success is the result of a lack of ego. However, a male respondent from a global asset management house, believes the differentiator is one of risk tolerance, not gender. “A man who is risk-aware will outperform a woman who is not over time,” he says.
Some even suggest the economic crisis will benefit women in the long run as they have lower levels of risk appetite.
“I don’t believe women are represented enough at the moment, it seems to me that women sometimes approach risk in a different way to men, and in some cases they may choose not to take risks that are as great”.
“In the current environment, this is what is needed. Women are strong negotiators and understand the bigger picture without being swayed by short-term financial gains.” She adds.
However, others believe comparing men and women does not reflect the reality of the workplace any more.
Sophie Horsfall, co-fund manager of F&C’s Global Climate Opportunities fund, says the poll’s results are irrelevant because many women will always have worked as a part of a mixed sex team.
“Most fund managers work as part of a team where they will have support analysts and an alternate manager on their fund. So even if they are the lead manager, they have a team who help them in the work that the do,” she says.
“All fund managers have different styles and I really don’t think it comes down to what sex the fund manager is.”
However, Ms Horsfall acknowledges that there are some firms where women could come up against the glass ceiling and where it might be more difficult if the can’t necessarily put in tall the hours that are needed for the job. 26 April A Romantic Break for One
Since childhood I have liked the feeling of being the only person in the world doing what I’m doing. Silly, I know.
“Mum, do you think I am the only person in the world at this moment who is asking if I’m the only person in the world who at this moment who is asking if I’m the only person in the world who at this precise moment…”
The patience of my nearest and dearest can still move me to tears.
I love Melvin, a Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds musical from 1953, brims with sunny innocence. It tells the story of a chorus girl who longs to be a star and, well, loves an awkard fellow named Melvin. It’s a gentle screwball comedy with cheerful songs and impassioned speeches such as: Melvin:”I’d do anything for you! I’d rod a bank, I’d take a rocket to the moon, anything! Just ask me!”
Judy: “Put me on the cover! My picture, on the cover of the magazine!”
Melvin: “Judy, I said I’d kill myself or take a rocket to the moon, but don’t ask the impossible!”
Debbie Reynolds is particularly memorable when plucked from the obscurity of the chorus and given a part playing a football that soars and swoops when kicked in a big song and dance soccer number. I am watching Melvin in preparation for seeing Reynolds in cabaret at the Caryle in New York in early June. I don’t expect her to sing “Good morning” from Singing in the Rain while capering over an upturned sofa – she is in her mid-70s after all – nor to dive and soar like a dancing human football, but I have heard tell that Reynolds anecdotes are spectacular, and her voice still charming and sweet.
I love these one-woman shows performed by Hollywood or Broadway ambassadors of a certain age. I collect their stories as if they were my own. I’ll never forget Betty Barret singing “I’m Still Here” at the Pizza on the Park in her 80s. in her delightful two-act showcase she almost apologized for being as well balanced as she was. She had a strong marriage from the start, which saved her from the horrors of the casting couch, she said, she generally played the heroine’s best friend, not the lead, and that took the pressure off to some extent, she added.
How these calm tales contrasted with Elaine Stritch’s adventures. In her one-women show, beautiful written by John Lahr, she recounts how she never, ever allowed herself more than two drinks before going on stage. Never, eve. That was the rule, and you just didn’t break it, but when you find yourself shopping for glasses in the vase department…
The Debbie Reynolds cabaret will kick off a romantic mini-break I am planning for myself, alone. It is actually a work trip but it hoverson the horizon like a gorgeous mirage. Even the flight is a thrilling prospect. With seven hours to myself on the plane I could probably finish my novel and plan another, working out complex strategies for improving my character. Plot the future careers of my children and create a Christmas shopping spreadsheet. It’s never too early. I’ve barely given getting any further away. It’s time to seize the carpet, as my friend Simon says.
I always like to overachieve in the air. I think it’s something about the high altitude that inspires and motivates, as you arrive in New York close to the hour special, free, doubled and utterly ripe for development. I sometimes think it’s a shame I work from home, because my inner commuter is mighty organized. Debbie Reynolds will be just about the first person I see after landing. I will head to her show straightaway and salute her like the old friend she almost is.
Perhaps, I’ll ask if I’m the only person in the world right now who knows, and can recite, the entire script of I love Melvin. 01 March MoneypennyIt helps to be 12,000 miles away from home when you have to think the hitherto unthinkable. You can get over the sleepless nights and through the boxes of tissues that, if you have any heart, you will need, and your employees won’t see the bags under your tear – stained eyes. “If you don’t bleed emotionally when you do this, then you are not human – that’s what I tell my managers,” said one of the chief executives of a FTSE 100 company with whom I shared all this.
Well, by the time I returned to the UK, I had survived the rapids of emotional turmoil and entered a calm sea of objectivity. I discussed my plan with my senior team, and took their advice. And it helped that halfway through my thought processes, I learned that I too had been sacked. The editor of The Field e-mailed me to let me know that after a 15-month stint as a columnist, he would not be requiring my services any more. The March issue, for which I had already filed, would be my last. No boxed of tissues for him, I am sure. And he didn’t even do me the courtesy of pretending it was because he needed to cut costs. No, I was too controversial. Me?
Well, the Lovely Lucinda is not too controversial. But sadly she is not essential either. I can no longer justify the luxury of having a PA when I am making cuts elsewhere. So, back to rescuing my own BlackBerry from cabs and running my own diary. I did it once and I am sure I will manage it again. But it didn’t make the decision any easier. 11 January 青花的美在于只用两种颜色, 就勾勒出市井繁情~04 January The Wishes in WinterThe fierce north wind and the bleakness are not the whole story of winter. The winder is made lifelike by the cold red nose, the whilte vapor with the breath, the beautiful ice crystal in the window, as well as the giggles of the children playing in the snow of course. It's a seaon for the self-relfection. Just summarize and taste the year bygone, and freeze in all the grievousness, depression, and sorrowfulness forever!
Taster Forever
The sweetness of Hāagen-Dazs can make the children stop crying. The deliciousness of the goose liver is the taste of happiness that can disdolve in the mouth. The happiness intertwined in the lips and teeth, just like the French-styled kiss, cherishing the everlasting aftertaste.
Frgrance Color
Winter is a season full-bodied, massive and full of aftertaste. Just like tge conversation between the flamboyant jewelry and the perfume: the combination of resplendent colors and the aromatic fragrance, being perfect in both!
A Marvelous Trip
Not matter what kind of gifts; they shall not be comparable to a marvelous New Yeqr trip full of pleasant surprises. Star Trek, marine Venture, Fairytale World......in the pleasant laughter, the curiosity of the children got satisfied.
Nice Decorations ofr a Luxurious Warm Winter
It suddenly got clod in this winter, with the former slick and shing wood floor or the clear and nappy floor tile doubled such colndess: it's time to find a passionate companion for the slightly hardended floor.The carpet, is the gentle angel! "whom you are seelomg for thousands of times among big crowds" in the cold winter. Extend the flocky carpet in the floor of the parlor, bedroom or the study, you can either sit or lay at any time, without noticing the coldness of the early winter, and instead, the romantic flowery cozy feeling will make the room "get warmer"!
The Most..
Surfing in Monaco, skiing in Switzerland, racing in Dubai, diving in the beach of Key Largo, where is your plan.....

I explore the many possible combinations of the constituent elements in order to arrive at the ideal olfactory accord, a harmony that will allow beauty to be revealed in all its mystery.'
香调:清新花香调 The candidates remain apprentices for a minimum of 6 years and may never make the grade at all but, if they do, they become full-fledged perfumers and then can move up the ranks, depending on the success of their creations.
Perfumers are held in the highest esteem in the perfume industry and there is the final say as to whether or not a fragrance is acceptable. The premary requesite for becoming a Nose is a keen olfactory sense. It is not enough for the perfumer to be able to distinguish between the fragrance of a rose and a tulip, but his sense of smell must be so acute and he can detect in a mixture of 100 or more ingredients the precise amount of the various substances that have contributed to the formula. He must not only be able to recongnize various raw materials but must have the capacity and srtistry to blend them harmoniously. He must be able to tell, for instance, whether the labdanum is from Greece or Corsica; whether the oil of ylang-ylang comes from Madagascar or Manila; tell the difference between oils of the same species of plant cultivated in different countries, and which type will achieve a particular result. The Nose has his counterpart in the wine industry where the shilled expert can tell in an instant the region, type of grape, and vintage of the wine he is sampling.
A truly great perfumer is not created in a hurry. Massproduced fragrances may be blended from a standard formula in a short time, but the original creation of a beautiful perfume may take years to accomplish. If the Nosehas a picture in mind that he wishes to translate into secent he will spend many weeks and months over it, surrounded by myriad of bottles, vilas, jars, each filled with precious essential oils and other materials.
![]() During the blending he is constantly testing his formula. As he works, he dips long slender blotters into the solution and puts them aside to try. At intervals these trips are sniffed, to determine what should be added to perfect the composition and to round out the fragrance.
Just as a painter spreads paint over his canvas and then steps back to view it critically chekcing upon whether more light is needed in an area, or a bit more blue needs tov e added to the purple, so does the prefume artist make his tests. Perhaps a minute quantity of jasmine to give smoothness, or slightly heavier note to add more character to an otherwise too light scent.
During the buliding of the perfume it is tested frequently, and under varying conditions. Is it the same in the early morning as it is in the dusk of the evening? Is the scent altered by weather conditions? There and many other checks are made before the prefume is considered a finishe product.
30 August 法国人yu 咖啡文化(二) 法国人去咖啡馆不单单是为了喝咖啡,他们更多的是去那里放松身心。普通百姓喜欢凑热闹,聚会或聚餐,哪里人多就喜欢去哪里,无怪乎在法国的普通餐馆中,服务生大多会把第一批客人安排在靠窗的桌边,然后点上一支蜡烛。夜色降临时分,外边的客人会不由自主地被餐厅内摇曳的烛光、隐约的人影所吸引,去分享室内温软的空气。
无论你是一个学问深邃的哲学家,还是失意的文人,潦倒的艺术家 放学下课的学生,只要一杯热咖啡或其他饮料,你就可以在那里放松自己。当然,邀上几个朋友、同事或同学坐在那里谈天说地,交流思想,讨论功课,书写作业也无不可。一些孤独落寞的人,常会以此来消磨难耐的时光,寻找心灵的慰藉。法国人崇尚自由,平等,浪漫常被浓缩在着不足百米见方的咖啡馆中。 25 August 法国人yu咖啡文化 法国有句谚语:“un jour sans fromage, c’est comme un jour sans soleil.”意思是说:对于法国人而言,如果哪天少了奶酪,那天就没有了阳光。而我却觉得,如果哪天他们的生活里少了咖啡,那他们一定会比没了阳光和奶酪还要更无精打采。法国人的日常生活离不开咖啡,咖啡对他们来说,不仅仅是一种饮品,它隐含着丰富的文化内涵。遍布城市与乡村的咖啡馆是法国生活方式的一种标志。
如果有一天你去法国观光旅行,在五光十色、车水马龙的香榭丽舍大道,蔚蓝色的地中海岸,或外省清净冷僻的街道,看到那些或富丽堂皇,或古朴雅致,或斑驳简陋的咖啡馆,建议你不妨进去坐一下,感受一下那里的环境和氛围。法国人曾对外国游客作过个调查,被问及巴黎最吸引客人的东西是什么时,许多人的回答不是卢浮宫,埃菲尔铁塔等脍炙人口的名胜,而是散落在巴黎大街小巷的咖啡馆。有人曾把咖啡馆比作是法国的骨架,说如果拆了它们,法国就会散架。徐志摩也说过:“如果巴黎少了咖啡馆,恐怕会变得一无可爱。”
对于多数法国人来说,最奢侈,最享受的莫过于在一个阳光明媚的午后,溜达至步行到一个露天咖啡馆,要一杯热咖啡,对着马路坐下,在弥漫着咖啡芳香的阳光下,漫不经心,望着悠闲而过的各式行人。那份闲时惬意无言以表,只有亲临体会才会有一份属于自我的感受。(先写到这儿吧,困了。。。)晚安:) 04 July 经典口误!(转)1、男朋友一脸甜蜜的说:我请你吃阿迪达斯(哈跟达斯)。。。。。 转载:北京高考零分作文(结尾抬高笑了)终于懂了什么叫笑喷了~^.^ 原帖摘自 天涯来吧 27 June 夏日午后今天足足在外面跑了一圈,先是去看了老师,趁着快过端午了,给她老人家捎了粽子,是俺亲手包的,呵呵说来有意思,昨天从商场买了4斤江米,2把竹叶和马连,在家和老爸溜溜报了一下午,分4种馅儿,有蜜枣,红豆沙,香肠和腊肉。整整忙活了一下午,看着满满2锅的战果,心里这叫一个满足!每年我们都会包很多,之后就分给亲戚朋友,大家一块乐一乐,这个节就这么忙碌而又快乐地过了。说道看老师,我们都习惯尊称她为‘先生’,别看83高龄,说起话来,思路清晰,谈吐幽默,每回去她家,我们都海阔天空地神侃一通,之后就言归正传开始了严格的口传心授学习,李老师还戏称之为:‘死去活来’。今天讲了2出西施的段子,分别是头场的西皮慢板和末场的游湖-二六。其中有2个大腔,讲究归印归韵,字正腔圆,别看就这2个字,可是费了我牛劲儿了。连唱了8,9遍才算基本搞定。本以为可以过关了,没想临走时,先生轻轻甩了一句:下礼拜来了,上来我先检查这段儿。晕~~ 匆匆赶上车,直奔天桥,本来决定今天买几盆花回家,收拾收拾后种到院子里,虽然过了芒种,按说已经错过了最好的栽花时节,可我偏偏不信,想试试,一来这几天突发奇想地很想种花,习惯了窗外的常绿盆景,偶尔便甚是怀念那色彩艳丽,缤纷俏立的娇叶了。于是便有了今天下午接近疯狂的‘采花狂’一幕。卖花的商贩,自然是美得不亦乐乎。一边忙着帮我装兜,一般不断殷勤地推荐他家其他品种给我。挑啊挑,直到我感觉眼睛被这艳丽的色彩灼得刺痛,抬头看谁都是粉红色的,这场艳丽的‘丛中飞’才算告一段落。 当我抱着满满1怀的战利品返回时,琴社的小q跑出来,把我半路截住,估计他是被一簇长腿满世界乱跑得缤纷植物给吓出来的。嘿嘿 09 June 家庭经典语录03 May Parents obsess over so-called flaws
Today's parents believe in psychology, a predominant paradigm of which is behavior modification; therefore, today's parents tend to believe that behavior, any behavior, can be modified by properly manipulating reward and punishment. That was in fact the Utopian view of B. F. Skinner, the author of modern behavioral psychology. Skinner did not put any stock in the notion of a unique, shared human nature. He reasoned that if there was nothing fixed in the makeup of the species, there was nothing fixed in the behavior of an individual of the species. Criminals were criminals only because the rewards and punishments in their lives had steered them blindly into criminal behavior. Likewise, different rewards and punishments could turn them into responsible, law-abiding citizens. 12 April Around The World: Making Europe Affordable This SummerIf you’re planning to travel to Europe this summer, you’ve probably realized that you may have to rethink your budget. Airfares are up due to the rise in fuel costs, and the value of the U.S. dollar has declined drastically against the Euro and other currencies. 30 March The Girl in a SwingHow do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do like think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide.
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside -
Till i look down on the gardon green,
Down on the roof so brown -
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
Robert Louis Stevenson |
