Source: The Day, New London, Conn.文件倉July 29--NEW LONDON -- With a new video game just out and an original "Star Wars" character under its belt, Killer Minnow is cruising.The downtown animation, game-design and video-production studio, started by a former criminal defense attorney and two veterans of Sonalysts Inc. in Waterford, also is the creator of an original sci-fi comedy series called "Zerks Log" that can be accessed online. And it runs an independent science fiction website called scifinal.com that helps fans keep track of more than 300 original shows.All around its light-filled new office on State Street, Killer Minnow employees display old sci-fi characters such as R2-D2 side by side on shelves with some of the favorites from its own animation efforts, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which appears on the Nickelodeon television channel."At heart, we're fans of the toys," said Steve Lettieri, executive producer and Killer Minnow co-founder. "We bring that kind of enthusiasm to it."Lettieri, a one-time attorney who previously did contract video production work for Pfizer Inc., decided to start his own company four and a half years ago when he realized his days were numbered at the downsizing pharmaceutical giant. He asked two friends from Sonalysts, creative director Rob King and three-dimensional animation guru Chris Conway who had formed a company called StoryForge Labs LLC, to join him in creating original content for the web.As the recession hit, however, the partners quickly realized it was going to be a while before they would be able to survive on original content alone. So they flipped the focus of the company, turning largely to commercial clients to pay the bills.Working with advertising agencies and production companies, Killer Minnow has produced a wide variety of informative and entertaining promotional videos and animations for clients ranging from shoe manufacturer Reebok to toy seller Hasbro to pharmaceutical firm Amgen to electrical co-ops around the country.The money was good, but Killer Minnow's founders still had their eyes on finding more creative work."Things for us really got rolling two years ago when I cold called LEGO in Enfield," Lettieri said. "A week later, we were working on LEGO Star Wars projects."Killer Minnow's specia存倉ity for the "Star Wars" series on Cartoon Network has been character development and special effects. One of the episodes introduced a Killer Minnow-designed Star Wars character, Jek-14, that was the first ever added to those seen in the original George Lucas films.Producers from The Cartoon Network were in New London last month to get a behind-the-scenes look at how Killer Minnow developed the character.The studio followed up that success by releasing just this month a new iPhone action video game called Rocket Runner. The app is available via an iTunes download for 99 cents."As a service company, you're always trying to identify who's your next client," Lettieri said. "But with our game, now we're selling a product. It's a different kind of approach, which is cool."Lettieri said Killer Minnow's prominent place within the sci-fi community has given it a strong social media network from which it can launch new games. He said games account for only about 10 percent of the studio's business, but their importance could increase significantly in the months ahead."We're in the midst of a couple big proposals with well-known clients," he said.In anticipation of bigger things ahead, Killer Minnow has added two new employees in the past few months in addition to finding larger quarters in the Dewart Building. Lettieri said the company contracts out a significant amount of work as well and is considering adding a full-time programmer to its mix.Killer Minnow has had a hand in producing visual effects for Rocky Hill filmmaker A.D. Calvo feature films including "The Melancholy Fantastic," "The Other Side of the Tracks" and "The Midnight Game." It also completed an innovative "building projection" at the downtown Garde Arts Center to draw attention to its Broadway series.Though far from Hollywood, Killer Minnow is close enough to New York City that it finds competitive advantages to staying in New London. As a small firm in a relatively low-cost city, Killer Minnow can provide a wide range of services at reasonable cost, Lettieri said."We're sort of flying under the radar, but that's starting to change," he said.l.howard@theday.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Day (New London, Conn.)

Source: Philadelphia Daily NewsJuly 29--IT WAS JANUARY 2009, and the stars seemed to have aligned over Philadelphia, signaling what should have been a Golden Age of government transparency in our erstwhile corrupt-and-contented city.新蒲崗迷你倉Pennsylvania's new Right-to-Know Law -- with its key clause that all government records are presumed to be public -- had just gone into effect. No longer must citizens prove why records should be available to the public. Under the strengthened law, government agencies must prove why not.And Philly had elected as mayor a reform-minded councilman, Michael Nutter, who was wrapping up his first year in Room 215. Open government is his thing. New day, new way."There is nothing that government does that cannot be done ethically and transparently," Nutter proclaimed at his inauguration in 2008. "Nothing."Mayor Nutter promised a transparent government in his first inaugural address. Has he delivered?Except, we now know, pitching municipal bonds to investors. And settling lawsuits. And, sometimes, budget briefings with City Council. Also, sheriff's sales and pension payments aren't entirely transparent. Neither are zoning appeals. Nor, in some cases, the way taxpayer-funded grants are doled out. And the mayor's past daily calendars are a closely guarded secret. Even elevator records have been deemed off-limits to the public.Yes, elevators.A Philly case in January 2009 was one of the first in Pennsylvania to test the new Right-to-Know Law through an appeal to the state Office of Open Records. A Bucks County man had been denied access to elevator-maintenance records from Philadelphia International Airport.First, the city Law Department ignored him, forcing him to appeal. Then, about a month after his request, a city lawyer claimed that the man couldn't have the maintenance records because he hadn't asked with "sufficient specificity."Terry Mutchler, executive director of the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records, who handles appeals by people who've been denied records, overturned that case and ordered the city to produce the elevator records. It wouldn't be the last time she'd have to set the city straight for essentially playing dumb or otherwise blocking legitimate records requests."They were using standard language, repetitively, to say they didn't understand what they were being asked for," Mutchler, a former Associated Press journalist, said last week. "If we can figure it out, they should be able to figure it out."The elevator case, although inconsequential, provided an early glimpse into an ongoing problem within the Nutter administration that undercuts its carefully crafted reputation for openness and transparency.While Nutter has won praise for appointing a chief data officer and releasing dozens of preapproved data sets -- including detailed information on crime, elections, real estate and the city budget -- administration officials and city lawyers also work behind the scenes to block requests for other information.This is the side of the Nutter administration that the public doesn't usually see, and it is causing deep frustration both in City Hall and among those whose job it is to understand how government works and spends taxpayers' money."It has evolved from transparency to translucency," said Councilman Jim Kenney. "It's like putting Vaseline on glasses. You can see the light, but you can't see what you're looking at."Interviews with dozens of journalists, public-records experts and elected officials reveal that, when it comes to fielding requests for government records, the "new way" of governing that Nutter once pledged is looking a lot like the old one in Philadelphia. In some respects, it might be worse."If the city of Philadelphia would say that it's open and transparent," Mutchler said, "I would have to disagree with that."Is this whole transparency thing a sham? Is it a policy, or just a buzzword?Right-to-No"Transparency is a cornerstone of good governance, and it is vital for the City to be open and available to our citizens." That's what Nutter says on the city website.So you'd think that Philadelphia City Paper reporter Ryan Briggs could easily find out who had received grants from the Philadelphia Activities Fund, a city slush fund.Wrong.First, Briggs was told he'd have to submit a formal request. But the city responded to his straightforward request for grant recipients with a Kafkaesque 1,400-word letter that claimed, among other things, that they didn't understand what he wanted because he'd used a different word ("documents") in the body of the email than in the actual Right-to-Know request ("records") that was attached to the email."At the outset, it is not clear which you are requesting since your request states one thing but your cover email describes your request in an inconsistent manner," wrote Assistant City Solicitor Jo Rosenberger Altman, the Law Department's open-records officer."In addition," she wrote, "the terms 'documents' and 'records' do not describe the type of records sought with sufficient specificity such that the City is able to determine specifically what records are being requested."Got that? Now get this: One of Briggs' readers knew a lawyer who requested the same records using only slightly different language. The city produced the records in response to that request.Turns out, the Philadelphia Activities Fund had given money to a group run by the wife of John McDaniel, a crooked political operative whom Nutter had appointed to a $87,125 patronage job at the airport. McDaniel is now in federal prison for stealing campaign money.Briggs had a similar experience when attempting to track money from the Office of Supportive Housing (OSH) that had gone to the same group run by McDaniel's wife. He called OSH, which had been helpful in the past, to confirm that the money had been dispersed. But, on this issue, the walls went up in a hurry."I went from speaking with a department official to having someone call and tell me, 'I can't give you any information, you have to file a Right-to-Know request, and don't call back asking about it,' " Briggs recalled.After submitting a formal request -- and waiting about five weeks -- Briggs finally got what he wanted: copies of three checks confirming the expenditures."There are some things where the administration likes to be very forthcoming," Briggs said, "and other things where red flags go up, I guess."Isaiah Thompson, a reporter at AxisPhilly, said that some city departments are responsive but that the Law Department -- which is run by City Solicitor Shelley R. Smith, a Nutter appointee, and often serves as the gatekeeper of public information -- is another story."They frequently deny run-of-the-mill requests . . . absurd denials," Thompson said. "Sometimes, their policy seems to be just to deny it and make you appeal because it's easier than handing over the information."Thompson currently is wrangling with city lawyers for documentation surrounding sheriff's sales. He's been denied so far."It was clear they were just sort of throwing the book at me and daring me to appeal it and hire an attorney," Thompson said.'You're in my crib'City Hall journalists learned that Nutter the candidate and Nutter the mayor were two different people in 2008 when his staff called security to keep them out of a closed-door budget meeting between the mayor and City Council. An armed guard showed up.Now, 5 { years in, it seems as if every reporter has a story -- or several -- about getting blocked, stalled, jerked around, retaliated against or frozen out by an administration that still boldly hoists the banner of open government. More accurately, City Hall insiders say, it's become an administration that is selectively transparent."If the administration truly cares about transparency, it can't just release the information it wants to release and then call it a day," said WHYY reporter Holly Otterbein. "The city must also be transparent even when it is inconvenient or politically damaging."Sometimes, as with Briggs, the stonewalling happens on paper through the Law Department. Other times, it's when dealing directly with city officials, such as Nutter's pugnacious spokesman, Mark McDonald, who is just as likely to answer a reporter's question as he is to mount a Twitter attack as @PhillyPressSec."They live in a fantasy bubble filled with lots of magical thinking," said Paul Davies, a former Daily News and Inquirer journalist whom McDonald has called a "hack" on Twitter. "This mayor is extremely thin-skinned, and his flack is the biggest whiner I ever dealt with."McDonald, who was reprimanded by Nutter lasmini storage year for spreading false information about Daily News columnist Ronnie Polaneczky in response to columns she'd written about the Philadelphia Parking Authority, recently turned away a local TV reporter who went to City Hall with questions about the building collapse at 22nd and Market streets, telling the reporter, "You're in my crib, and I don't like it."In 2011, Nutter announced that he was cracking down on tax deadbeats, saying in a news release that current and retired city employees must be held "to the same, if not higher standard as we hold other Philadelphians who owe back taxes, liens or have unpaid City bills." But when reporters learned in June that Nutter had a gas lien on his house, he and McDonald sang a different tune. They tried to talk the press out of running the story, describing it as a "private" matter."Nothing happened," Nutter said. "There's no story here."Reporters say that Nutter is increasingly inaccessible, and that more requests for information from other departments are being funneled to McDonald -- a former Daily News City Hall bureau chief -- or require the filing of a written Right-to-Know request. McDonald said the mayor was not available to comment for this article.The city often takes a month or longer to respond to formal requests. One reporter recalled a city official saying that the requested document had been located, but that the city was invoking the Right-to-Know law's 30-day extension to respond -- simply to delay publication of the story."We continue to see resistance by the city to fulfill the letter, as well as the spirit, of the law," Mutchler said.After locking reporters out of budget briefings in 2008, Nutter agreed to open up the process the following year. But this April, the city barred the media from attending an investors' conference at which officials discussed the city's fiscal condition, prompting a harsh rebuke from the Associated Press, Bloomberg, the Inquirer and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. That led to a Reuters report questioning whether institutional investors were getting nonpublic information that put retail investors at a disadvantage.Back at City Hall, officials have prohibited reporters from using iPads to scan officials' statements of financial interests, which are public record. It is unclear why. The Committee of Seventy watchdog group has been prodding the city to post that information online for years."Every year, we say, 'Make this available online,' " said Ellen Mattleman Kaplan, the committee's vice president and policy director. "This is a prime example of a situation where the public deserves to know. This is a way for the taxpayer to know if the people in the upper echelons of government have a conflict of interest."Pressure mountsIt's not just the press. Elected officials are losing patience, too.In May, City Council threatened to subpoena the Nutter administration for information about property-tax assessments, and Council President Darrell Clarke mentioned that option again this month when the administration blocked representatives of some departments from appearing before a committee probing the June 5 building collapse.City Controller Alan Butkovitz, who said his attempt to obtain property-tax information was "completely ignored" by the administration, said the situation has gotten so bad that he has considered getting in line with the public and filing a formal request, thinking he might have a better chance of prying something loose."At one time, I considered doing a Right-to-Know request," Butkovitz said.Butkovitz said the Nutter administration expanded its information blockade in February when Smith, the city solicitor, told him to stop releasing legal memos that explain why the city settles lawsuits. The memos had been treated as public records for decades.Zack Stalberg, president of the Committee of Seventy, blasted Smith's decision -- which Nutter supports -- as "wrong, hypocritical and cowardly." Butkovitz said the administration should have to explain why it's paying out settlements, not hide behind attorney-client privilege."The city is acting like they are a company and a defendant. But it's a democratically elected government where people have a right to participate," Butkovitz. "If there's a certain practice that has resulted in numerous people getting killed or seriously hurt, that would be an important fact for people to understand. I'd say saving lives and avoiding injury is more important than reducing the city's financial liability."Smith said the city decided to clamp down on the settlement memos after a Commonwealth Court case last year gave it the authority to claim attorney-client privilege. She dismissed Butkovitz's rationale for continuing to release the memos, saying that doing so would benefit plaintiffs who sue the city, which ultimately would cost taxpayers."The fact that we settle a case doesn't mean that we've done anything wrong," Smith said. "There's no necessary connection between the fact that a lawsuit has been filed or settled and the fact that something is actually wrong."Smith also defended the city's decision to withhold other records, saying, "There has to be a balance between the public interest in getting information and the government's right to do business in the way that a business does business."No commentMcDonald pointed to the Philly311 customer-service system and the OpenDataPhilly portal as evidence that Philadelphians are able to access government services and information better than in prior administrations. He insisted that city officials do their best to accommodate journalists and others seeking information."When he took office, from day one, he wanted a better, more responsive, more respectful operation than had existed in the John Street years," McDonald said of Nutter.But Laurenellen McCann, national policy manager at the pro-transparency Sunlight Foundation, said governments can't pat themselves on the back if they're posting statistical data sets online with one hand while limiting access to public records with the other."Are not public records the most basic form of open data?" McCann said. "The default should be set to 'open.' "That wasn't the case following the Market Street building collapse that killed six people. For weeks, the Nutter administration was in lockdown, denying requests for virtually all information about the collapse and other demolition sites around the city.Smith told the Daily News this month that Assistant District Attorney Ed Cameron had instructed her office -- in her words -- "not to turn over anything" about the collapse due to the grand jury investigation. She said the District Attorney's Office then must have "reversed course" by issuing a statement July 11 that said public records should remain public, despite the grand jury.Under intense pressure from the media and City Council, the administration finally posted some of the information online July 19, including a May 22 email from the building's owner to Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger warning of "a situation that poses a threat to life and limb" and inspection reports that incorrectly stated that no asbestos was in the building.Tasha Jamerson, director of communications for the District Attorney's Office, said her office never told the Nutter administration not to release those documents."That is absolutely not true," Jamerson said of Smith's claim. "They were just using that blanket statement of 'the grand jury' to say 'no' to every request."Either way, Nutter may have to make some changes if he wants his legacy to include open government."This trend away from transparency is wrong, especially because we're dealing with taxpayer dollars for the most part," said Stalberg, a former editor of the Daily News. "It certainly runs counter to the image Mayor Nutter has tried to put forward. In my view, it's not characteristic of a strong, forthright CEO."Ernest Sasso, the Bucks County lawyer who'd requested the elevator records in 2009, said he would have had no cooperation from the city if the state hadn't stepped in to enforce the Right-to-Know Law. He said he thinks Nutter is a "decent person at heart," but he's sick of politicians who embrace transparency on the campaign trail, then slam the office door once they're elected."They make these grandiose pledges about openness and transparency, but they just don't deliver," Sasso said. "They'd rather work in secret."On Twitter: @wbender99Blog: ph.ly/DailyDelcoCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Philadelphia Daily News Visit the Philadelphia Daily News at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage

提起中關村，迷你倉庫人們很容易想到的是聯想、百度這些知名科技公司。經過20年的發展，中關村國家自主創新示範區已經聚集了近2萬家高新技術企業，形成了以電子信息、生物醫藥、能源環保、新材料、先進製造、航空航天為代表，以研發和服務為主要形態的高新技術產業集群，並成為了首都跨行政區的高端產業功能區。然而，這裡也同時生存著一大批名不見經傳的小企業———由於成立時間短、企業規模小、無抵押、無擔保，想獲得發展面臨著資金不足的難題。某家科技股份有限公司，如今是中國計算機輔助設計(CAD)和產品全生命周期管理(PLM)工業軟件領域的領軍企業，但當年也曾經歷過同樣的困境。這家公司的負責人曾在北京航空航天大學攻讀了本科、碩士及博士學位，畢業後擔任北京航空航天大學教授、博導及機械工程及自動化學院院長，曾多次獲得國家級、部級科技進步獎項，這樣的學術背景讓公司負責人在創業過程中更大程度上重視企業的科技發展水平，使得企業成為“輕資產重技術”的典型企業。隨著公司經營規模的逐漸增大，企業的資金需求也逐步擴大，而由於成立時間短、無足額擔保物等條件制約，公司無法從銀行獲得貸款，企業發展遭遇了資金瓶頸。就在公司上上下下為尋找有效融資渠道而忙得焦頭爛額之際，北京銀行中關村分行通過一款名為“信用貸”的專項金融服務方案及時解決了企業的燃眉之急。北京銀行中關村分行在前期對這家公司的調查中瞭解到，該企業是國家大力鼓勵的科技成果產業化的典型企業，曾于2008年被列為首批“中關村科技園區百家創新型試點企業”，多款軟件產品被列入首批政府採購自主創新產品，2009年又再度被評為“中關村國家自主創新示範區創新型企業”，發展前景十分良好。結合企業發展現狀，北京銀行中關村分行向企業推薦了“信用貸”這款產品，並從2011年起至今的三年間，先後對公司發放累計2700萬元的信用貸款，用于幫助緩解融資困難，研發新技術。北京銀行在關鍵時刻的大力扶植，使得公司迅猛發展。如今的這家公司，在美國、北京、南京和西安均設有研發中心，並在上海、廣州、沈陽、成都、武漢、西安等全國各地建立了35個營銷和服務中心、300多家代理經銷商、600多個教育培訓中心，擁有完全自主知識產權的系列化的計算機輔助設計(CAD)、計算機輔助製造(CAM)等軟件產品和解決方案，並廣泛應用在裝備製造、電子電器、汽車及零部件、國防軍工、儲存程建設、教育等各個行業，有超過2.5萬家企業用戶和2000所院校用戶。其推出的CAXA軟件是國家勞動部、科技部和教育部認證培訓和職業資格鑒定指定軟件。此外，公司還連續承辦了多屆國家六部委共同舉辦的“全國數控技能大賽”以及教育部全國職業院校技能大賽，為我國數控領域高技能人才及後備力量的培養產生了積極作用。北京銀行中關村分行幫助公司化解融資難題的“信用貸”專項金融服務方案，是為中關村國家自主創新示範區內的科技型中小企業量身訂做的融資服務，旨在為在中關村國家自主創新示範區內註冊、並符合中關村科技園區管理委員會制定的申請信用貸款基本條件的中小企業發放的無保證信用貸款，有效解決了這類企業本身輕資產而難以向銀行申請貸款融資的問題。“信用貸”單戶貸款金額可達2000萬元(含)，而對於中關村百家創新企業則可根據企業實際需求進一步放寬額度限制。另外，此項貸款還享受政府20%~40%的貼息支持，能有效幫助企業緩解還款壓力。“信用貸”經過6年的發展，已成為具有競爭力、在市場中“叫得響”的拳頭產品，滿足了許多中關村自主創新示範區科技型中小企業的融資需求。目前在中關村地區發放的信用貸款中，北京銀行中關村分行占比達到一半以上。2012年11月，“信用貸”更是被中國銀行業協會評選為“2012年服務中小微企業及三農雙十佳產品特優獎”。到2013年3月底，北京銀行中關村分行保有信用貸167戶，餘額近十億元。十多年來，像這家公司這樣獲得北京銀行幫助的高科技企業早已是數不勝數。在科技創新和科技金融的探索過程中，北京銀行中關村分行始終充當著探索者和排頭兵。一方面，信用貸是北京銀行支持中關村國家自主創新示範區信用體系建設的一個重要舉措；另一方面，北京銀行借助信用貸也能夠帶動整個園區信用環境的改善，通過鼓勵科技企業誠信經營的方式，助推“信用中關村”品牌的建立。北京銀行中關村分行一直積極探索科技與金融結合的服務產品，為了滿足更多中小微企業的實際需求，特別加大了對初創期、成長期科技企業的資金貸款支持力度，積極為廣大科技企業解決融資渠道，以促進科技產業快速發展。“信用貸”這款創新型專項金融服務方案的提出，得益于北京銀行對科技產業的不懈支持，更得益于北京銀行先試先行的勇氣，使得沒有固定資產的中小微高科技企業也能順利獲得資金支持，走出全新“科技金融”的和諧發展之路。(李妍)新蒲崗迷你倉

編按：又逢暑假，迷你倉新蒲崗香港左派團體每年都組織中小學生北上祖國「考察國情」。究竟這種「考察團」是怎樣的？本文作者，畢業自左校的史提芬，為你講述他親身經歷的「免費旅行團」。天底下，真的有白吃的午飯嗎？ 福建中學、漢華中學、旺角勞工子弟學校、培僑中學、香島中學合稱「愛國五校」。我作為其中一間學校的畢業生，每逢介紹自己的母校時，幾乎都會收穫一聲複雜的「哦?」，彷彿我來自神秘的間諜機構。 旁人的疑慮其實沒有錯，差一點，我就被吸收成為香港地下共產黨員。 左校最早開通識科？ 略略介紹一下我的背景：我父親是福建人，1970 年代移民香港落地生根。小學時我讀的是一間普通的屋�學校，父親一直不滿香港的教育缺乏對祖國的關心。他認為如果我在主流學校升學，恐怕會成長為沒有根的「港英餘孽」，所以報讀中學時以愛國學校為目標，結果得償所願。母校為了潛移默化，培養學生的愛國熱情，可謂煞費苦心。 每個星期都由各班級輪流升國旗並發表國旗下的講話，而講話內容環繞祖國的方方面面。雖然不清楚講稿會否有老師審閱，但記憶中倒是沒聽過敢對中國提出大膽批評的演講。 另一方面，學校容許學生訂閱的報紙只是文匯報和大公報，同學們頂多打開娛樂版翻翻就算了，頭版政論版之類的太嚴肅，大家只會捲起來當作刀劍追逐嬉戲，少不了被訓導老師捉住訓斥一番。遠在通識科還不是必修科的年代，我們學校就已經開辦了，而且必修「今日中國」單元。課程並不迴避敏感話題如六四事件，老師會提供大量的背景資料，例如何謂「價格雙軌制」、什麼是「反官倒」、「反腐敗」等。老師不忘強調，要客觀、辯證地看待中國面對的問題，如果像其他香港人一樣動輒上綱上線，把一切問題都歸咎於體制，是過分簡單化的思維模式。這對於懵懂少年來說猶如當頭棒喝，隱隱然似乎自己也和國家領導人並肩思考問題。 免費入黨旅行團？ 至於美其名曰社會參與，事實上在選舉時幫左派智庫例如香港社區研究中心做義工蒐集途人投票數據，更是大部分學生的共同記憶。 中四那年，學校組織交流團到訪上海和洛陽，讓我們這些「港燦」見識了天朝上國的威風。上海拔地而起的現代化建築讓我們震撼不已，洛陽之旅更是倍感光榮，所到之處警車開道，去石窟參觀更有招待部門打出橫幅上書「熱烈歡迎XX 學校師生蒞臨訪問」。盡興而歸已經不能形容我當時的心情了，恐怕是受寵若驚才對。那麼，究竟我在什麼情�下才差點成為共產黨員呢？這要牽扯到一位頗孚眾望的老師，姑且稱他為趙老師吧。 他任教中文科，教學方式活潑，而且多才多藝，曾經在課堂上清唱辛棄疾的《滿江紅》，博得滿堂彩。下課後他經常留在教室�和同學們聊天，大家都願意和他親近。中六暑假前某日，趙老師在走廊叫住我，問我是否有興趣免費去南京遊玩4 日3 夜。我當然一口答應，但究竟團員還有誰，為什麼會免費，趙老師卻不肯多說，只囑咐我不要和其他人談起這件事。中學死黨之間能有什麼秘密？很快我就知道，除了身為社長的迷你倉出租之外，風紀長、學生會會長和幾個成績出色的同學都在被邀請之列。旅行團頭兩天沒什麼特別的行程，由趙老師帶隊吃吃喝喝，四處遊覽。到了第三天晚上，趙老師要求我們吃完晚飯後就要到他的房間集合。 同學都到齊後，趙老師就進入正題了： 「你們都是學校的尖子，對祖國的發展有目共睹，我們的旅行團說起來其實也沾了國家的光。你們想不想知道為什麼會邀請大家來這�？」 大家面面相覷。 在港黨員年紀大趙老師繼續道「其實這次來的旅費，是由╳╳╳的╳董事贊助的。」大家陷入疑惑，誰是╳董事？他為什麼要請我們？ 「你們快進大學了，難道不希望為自己的未來打算嗎？如果我告訴你們，你們無論能否進大學，都能保證未來工作無憂，你們怎麼想？」大家其實心�都隱約感到了些什麼，有人大�膽子說： 「想。」「好，大家都是精英，與其碌碌無為，為什麼不一起為祖國在香港的事業出一分力呢？╳董事和我，還有許多人，雖然大家表面上在不同的行業工作，但其實我們都是為中華民族偉大復興奮鬥的共產黨員。我希望你們明白，加入共產黨後，工作、福利都好說。」趙老師露出招牌的爽朗笑容。 雖說大家都猜到了，但是沒有人點頭答應，大家都躊躇不已。 我大�膽子問： 「老師，我們還是中學生，會不會太小？」 趙老師眼光一亮：「不會！香港的共產黨員問題就在於年紀太大，許多做地區工作的黨員都年事已高，我們就希望像你們這樣年輕的血液能加入，促進代謝。」 我的問題開了頭，其他同學也加入追問。有人問共產黨貪污嚴重，形象不好，趙老師四�撥千斤，反問他知道不知道中國改革開放以來GDP 翻了幾番，既然取得了舉世矚目的成就，又怎麼可能是貪污腐敗集團能達到的高度？也有人問其他的問題，但都被一一化解。 就在大家都靜下來，似乎只剩下決志入黨這一個選擇的時候，一位一直沒有發言的同學居然爆發了。 入黨失敗個案 她質問趙老師知不知道自己為什麼出生在香港，老師只能說不知道。這位同學原原本本地把自己祖父母慘遭文革摧殘、死在勞改營的故事說出來，告訴大家自己的祖父母本來是印尼華僑，放下農場的生意回國建設，結果以身殉國。她父親從此怕了和共產黨打交道，移民香港。同學痛斥老師，為什麼不早點告訴她這次旅行是別有用心的，如果知道的話一定不會來。趙老師明顯沒有預計到這種情�，他不懂得安慰一個情緒大幅波動的少女，只知道不斷叫她冷靜。當然他的努力白費了，同學根本聽不進去他的話，而其他的同學有的忙於安慰，有的不知所措，總之，沒有人繼續提加入共產黨的話題了。 當晚的聚會草草收場，剩下的行程居然沒受影響，大家繼續觀光吃飯，彷彿這就是一個普通至極的旅行團。 回到香港後，趙老師再也沒提起共產黨的事，同學們也心有靈犀地心照不宣。往事就如一縷青煙，風一吹就消散在空中。畢業後直到今天，我也沒再回過母校，大概趙老師仍然在繼續�他終生奮鬥的志業吧。 文．稻田作者簡介：80後，移民二代，左校畢業，「愛國」青年。儲存倉

本報駐澳大利亞特約記者 劉方 ● 穆積山南太平洋島國湯加不久前收到從交付的中國新舟60型飛機，迷你倉沙田加上早前中國參與當地的基礎建設，讓西方輿論開始質疑“中國人為什麼對湯加這麼有興趣？”但在充滿醋意的媒體採訪報道中，西方記者也無法迴避湯加人給出的答案——現在湯加人的日子過得的確更好了。 英國廣播公司網站28日刊登駐湯加記者約翰?皮克福德在這個南太平洋島國首都機場等航班時寫下的個人感想。皮克福德說，在首都努庫阿洛法機場，現在已經享受不到３年前那種安靜喝咖啡的感覺，因為現在這裡變得更加繁忙和熱鬧。作為記者，他和在當地同樣等候航班去上海的華人王先生一家聊起對湯加的看法，而對方告訴他“這裡非常寧靜，同時也比中國好賺錢。”皮克福德還在文章中談到中國不久前交付湯加飛機一事。在7月6日，中方將一架中國產新舟60型飛機剛剛交付南太平洋首家用戶——湯加。在交付儀式上，湯加王國國王與首相等要員都親自體驗了這架中國產飛機的乘坐感受，讚不絕口。中方表示，希望新舟60飛機為服務湯加人民、促進湯加旅遊業發展作出貢獻。中方將與湯方繼續努力，以中湯建交15周年為新契機，將中湯友好合作關係提升至新水平。但法新社7月9日的消息說，針對中國產飛機交付湯加，新西蘭當局宣佈取消對湯加一筆820萬美元的援助資金。法新社說，造成這一結果的直接原因是湯加國內一直只有一家航空公司在運營，而它就屬於新西蘭。但這家航空迷你倉價錢司在湯加只有5架老舊飛機，運營不理想，難以滿足湯加經濟發展的需要，而湯加政府一直考慮改變這一局面。中國和湯加兩國政府都認為，建交15年來，中湯友好合作關係發展良好，給兩國人民帶來實際利益，促進了湯經濟社會發展。 此外，報道說，越來越多中國人來到這裡，參與當地的經濟建設開發。這也讓西方媒體更好奇，為什麼越來越多的中國人來湯加，湯加人如何看待這些中國人？皮克福德寫道，在湯加民�眼中，雖然這些年來到這裡發展的中國人只有數千，但還是給當地人一種“中國人哪裡都有”的感覺。甚至有時湯加人還會為一些中國人駕車不守秩序而皺眉頭。 《環球時報》記者曾多次赴湯加採訪，也有少數當地人和政府官員私下向記者表示，他們的工作崗位和利益被中國人“拿走”。但據瞭解，定居在此的華人並不是很多，更多的是中國派出的農業和教育專家，幫助湯加提高技術和教育水平。英國廣播公司說，對於中國人的到來，多數湯加人都有種“福臨門”的感覺。因為原先大雨傾注會把道路房屋沖垮的問題，現在越來越少了。因為中國人為湯加建造了更多道路，完善了排水系統。在湯加越來越多的公共新建築拔地而起，比如政府辦公大樓，體育館，這些也有中國人的功勞。 皮克福德說，對於中國人在湯加究竟會發揮怎樣的影響力，其實湯加人和西方人一樣好奇，但多數當地人相信，在這片島嶼上，中國來客是願意和自己友好生活在一起的，而自己沒有拒絕的理由。▲迷你倉庫
