More cafe than chocolate

More cafe than chocolate

How much chocolate should one eat? More than a little, but less than a lot. These words, posted inside Whisk, Shanghai's renowned chocolate cafe, may be difficult to agree with for some; can there ever be too much chocolate?

However, the cafe may have a slight point, especially once you have sampled the other savory delights from its menu.
"Whisk is oriented as a chocolate cafe but has lots of other items to offer," said Alex Maze, one of the restaurant's owners.
"Many people have only heard of us because of the chocolate. So they are quite surprised when they come here and see lots of alternatives on the menu.
"It has always been chocolate and Italian food. We introduced the savory food because it is not the right time for just a chocolate shop here."
Whisk, opened last November, is not an easy place to find with its location set back from Huaihai Road. But it is certainly a place to seek out.
Looking at the menu, you are first struck by an impressive selection of coffee, ranging from the classics, cappuccino, latte and espresso, among others. But there is also truffle, iced or frozen chocolate, iced coffee cocktails and the Whisk Chococello. And that's before you even start on the Italian-inspired fare.
With a cappuccino at 15 yuan (US$1.96) and the rest of the menu at reasonable prices for large portions, it puts most standard coffee houses and restaurants to shame.
Its Italian menu is typical of any similar themed establishment, offering the usual pasta, paninis, pizza, risottos, salads and coffees. It is the attention to detail, however, that make this cafe stand out from the pack.
With its modern decor, it is designed enough to be pleasant without looking like it is trying too hard.
Whisk is a casual cafe cum restaurant said Maze, who also serves as the chef. "It is a place to be relaxed and enjoy good food at reasonable prices."
Recommendations for the savory choices start at the antipasto plate. At 60 yuan for two people it is great value and does not skimp on the trimmings.
Then there is the risotto. With five choices to select from Maze said they are a favorite of the cafe and do very well, especially at lunch time. "The chicken and mushroom is very earthy and although it is more of a winter dish it remains on the menu through popular demand. The seafood and tomato is a lighter choice for summer."
Indeed the risotto is a very satisfying choice, proving that Whisk does offer good food for a place thats specialty is not even making savory dishes.
Maze, a trained pastry chef, puts his passion for dessert to good use here with an abundance of choices available. Each dessert uses different chocolates to offer alternative flavors.
"Every dish I have developed over a period of time to cater to individual taste and preferences," said the Australian. "I am very proud of the new summer selection especially the lemon tart. However, people rarely try it as they all come for the chocolate."
Desserts range from indulgent sticky brownies to pana cotta and tiramisu. Lighter summer options include Greek yogurt, orange peel dipped in chocolate and wild blueberry ricotta.
But one thing to watch out for is that the generous portions in all the dishes may mean no room for dessert, not good considering this is the main reason to go to Whisk in the first place.
Upon exiting you can take one last look at the decadent chocolate treats displayed on thick slabs of chocolate itself. As the old saying goes, "strength is breaking a block of chocolate in many pieces and eating only one."
So perhaps that is the best way to describe Whisk, where the choice with the desserts may have to be in picking two or three. Its just a pity they don't deliver.

提高网站流量---六度理论

提高网站流量---六度理论

不论是企业网站还是个人网站需要提高网站流量,因为网站流量直接涉及到网站营销、网站盈利,越来越多的站长或企业注重流量,并想方设法去提高流量。笔者先前和一些网友讨论过如何提高网站流量的问题,结果并不能总结出什么方法来。随着个人博客流量不断增加,对网站流量与网站优化内容也慢慢地加深了解,渐渐地也形成了提高网站流量的心得。提高网站流量的前提就是能够把网站内容做好,如何去做网站内容,如何去推广网站,如何去巩固流量,这些问题只言片语解决不了问题。为此,本博客将推出《提高网站流量秘籍》系列日志,为站长们提高网站流量带来捷径。今天分享内容是:提高网站流量秘籍之六度理论
什么是六度理论?
六度理论的通俗解释就是在人际脉络中,要结识任何一位陌生朋友,这中间最多只要通过六个朋友就可以达到目的。延伸到博客中,其个性化诉求高,就更加透明化了。博客间交流可以面对面的交流,也可以通过其他的间接方式博客认识到新博客,并且这种认识不会超过六个人。博客最注重就是友好性回访,形成固定的博友圈。博客是网站的一种表现形式,同样适用于六度理论。网站流量主要来自于固定访客和非固定访客,两者都会带来流量。每天网站有经常性回访的浏览者,也有第一次新增来访的新浏览者,新访客回访次数多了就成了固定访客,拥有固定访客保持网站流量的稳定性,不会时涨时跌。这些固定访客就将会成为六度理论的中间传播者,也就是所谓的“口碑效应”。

拉德250定律

笔者发现六度理论和拉德250定律有着相似之处。拉德250定律内容主要是:每一位顾客身后,大体有250名亲朋好友。如果您赢得了一位顾客的好感,就意味着赢得了250个人的好感;反之,如果你得罪了一名顾客,也就意味着得罪了250 名顾客。或许250这个数字有点过于夸奖,说明的道理无非就是在我们的网站访客中,一个访客将有可能会为我们带来一群访客,这是所有网站必有的历程,这部分流量不窝忽视。所以要提高网站流量就要会学会将这些固定访客会聚,可通过网站流量来路进行深入分析。

提高网站流量如何发挥六度理论的作用呢?
如果是个人网站(包括博客),最大范围地做多友情链接,而且所链接的网站更新频率越高越好,内容越有特色越好,链接是双方互换的,不是单一只做对方网站链接;其次去游逛流量聚集的大型论坛,当然最好和所建设网站相关、相似、相近的论坛发帖,增加自身的曝光率,这样都可以让更多的人通过别人的网站或论坛接触你的网站。如果是企业网站,最大范围地做精友情链接,企业网站链接条件不会像个人网站那么宽松,基本上会提高以PR值或Alexa为申请条件,建议多多向一些流量相对集中大网站做链接推广,虽然做这些高流量并非容易,只要有几个就可以了。这是最实用提高流量的方法,通过对方的访客来导向你的网站,从而给你网站带来流量,这就最简单的六度理论运用!就这样结束了提高网站流量秘籍之六度理论的心得体会,希望站长们明白,提高网站流量需要一个厚积薄发的过程,六度理论应证了网站推广其实很简单!

一位高手总结的股票规律

一位高手总结的股票规律
第一:了解自己
个人的习惯爱好,生活经历将反映到他的交易心态与交易风格中去,了解自己非常重要,所以放在第一位,下面叙述的会回到这一条。和技术分析一样,个人的性格也可以通过他的历史来归纳总结,不同的性格和经历将会有适合他的不同的交易策略,只有适合自己的交易系统才能帮助自己成功。
第二:选择市场
许多人是没有这个概念的。但是今天我要告诉你选择市场是比选择时机还要重要的因素。活跃的市场能够帮助你尽快成功,在低迷的市场中运做,英雄也会气短。比如去年以来金属期货市场火暴,此时投入即使不是很懂得基本面或者技术面分析的人也有可能获得暴利,我听说某人去年获利千倍,不是虚言。市场的活跃是获利的基础,为什么股民让人觉得可怜?就因为股民踏进了一个圈钱的市场,很少有长胜将军,更不要说是大师了。是市场导致了你的成败。
对于许多人来说让他选择市场是天方夜谭,他们的资本和时间限制了他们投向其他市场领域,所以只能在股海里苦苦挣扎,却不知道虽然不能转向其他市场但可以上岸观火,这就注定了大多数人的失败。
若你没办法去选择市场,那么请接着往下看。
第三:选择时机,分辨牛熊
再好的市场也要选择合适的时机介入,看错的时间就是对金钱的犯罪。一买就套影响心态,直接关系今后的成败。首先是分辨牛市还是熊市。牛市有牛市的特征,熊市有熊市的特征,这些特征是原始和长久的,就和中国人所说的“道”一样,是一种原理,是不变的,变化的只是形式,把握住了精神就可以简单的分辨出来。新起点一直以来告戒大家牛市好没有来,要作好打持久战的准备,就是基于这些原理。
牛市与熊市乃是两个大纲。牛市操作,熊市休息,不要觉得只是口号,而是必须坚决执行的原则,你违逆它就有可能在某一天将你几年辛苦筑就的大厦夷为平地。继续细分为6种状态:牛市中的熊市,牛市中的牛市,熊市中的牛市,熊市中的熊市,平衡市中的牛市,平衡市中的熊市。投入的资金比例分别是30-50%,80-100%,20-30%,0-10%,20-30%,10-20%。
这么细分的结果是为了资金管理。大多数人是不屑于资金管理的,但这很重要,很多成功者成功是因为他踩对了时代的步伐,也就是跟对了趋势,更有人是有意识的去跟从趋势。
这些是成功者的总结。交易的主要利润都是在牛市中期获得的,更多的时间都是浪费在熊市与平衡市中,这里赚一点那里亏一点,总觉得技术不错了钱赚少了,其实就是忽视了时机。所以当明白了这点后将资金管理运用到枯燥的牛熊分区中。用纪律来约束自己,避免踏入陷阱。有很多水平高的朋友没有逃脱这场4年的熊市,他们没有倒在急风暴雨的2001年,也没有死在斜风细雨的2002年,却牺牲在口号连连的2003年和2004年,不胜感慨。市场很残酷,你的离去总会迎来新人,没有人还会记得你曾经的辉煌。失败者总是与轻蔑与同情联系在一起。所以大家要比的是谁活的长,谁活的质量高。

缩量震荡——小盘股 大盘稳健但能量不足时是小盘股的活跃期,因大盘能量不能满足规模性热点的施展,所以个股行情“星星点火”,其中又以小能量下小盘股行情更为靓丽。由于小能量难以满足行情的持续性,故小盘股行情往往涨势较迅捷,持续周期较短,适于短线操作。   

突发利好——次新股 无论大盘处于什么状态,若遇突发性重大利好公布,往往是价低次新股的活跃期。因为老股中往往有老资金进驻或者受困,新资金即不愿为老资金抬轿,更不愿为老资金解套。所以,重大利好公布后,上市不久的次新股群往往成为新资金“先入为主”的攻击对象。   
调整时期——庄股 大盘调整时是庄股的活跃周期。由于市场热点早已湮灭,庄股则或因主力受困自救,或是潜在题材趁疲弱市道超前建仓……疲弱市道中的庄股犹如夜幕中的一盏盏 “豆油灯”,虽不能照亮整个市场,也能使投资大众不至于绝望。同时,多少还能诱惑“投资小众”一起来“往豆油灯里添加燃油”,或者是引来“飞蛾扑火”。   
波段急跌——指标股 大盘波段性急跌后是大盘指标股的活跃期。急跌后能令大盘迅速复位的,必然是能牵动全局的指标股。因为“四两拨千斤”的功效大,也因为低价股护盘的成本低。   
调整尾声——超跌低价股 大波段调整进入尾声后是超跌低价股的活跃期。因为前期跌幅最大的超跌低价股风险释放最干净,技术性反弹要求最强烈。由于大势进入调整的尾声,尚未反转,新的热点难以形成,便给了超跌低价股的表现机会。   
牛市确立——高价股 牛市行情确立是高价股的活跃期。高价股是市场的“贵族阶层”,位居市场最顶层,在大盘进入牛市阶段后,需要它们打开上档空间,为市场创造牛市空间,给中低价股起到“传、帮、带”的作用。   
休整时期——题材股 大盘休整性整理是题材股的活跃期。因为休整期市场热点分散,个股行情开始涨跌无序,增量资金望而却步,只能运用题材或概念来聚拢市场的视线,聚集有限的资金,吸引市场开始分散的动量。   
报表时期——“双高”股 年(中)报公布期及前夕是高公积金、高净资产值股票的活跃周期。因为这样的上市公司有股本扩张的需求和条件,有通过高分红来降低每股净资产值的需要。在股市开始崇尚资本利得和低风险稳定收益后,高分红也已经成为市场保值性大资金的宠爱。

Celebrate Dragon Boat Festival

Celebrate Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival The annual traditional Chinese festival Duanwujie (Dragon Boat Festival) falls on June 19 this year. Traditionally, Chinese people make zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings) and eat them at home to celebrate this festival. Yet for office workers, tight work schedules makes it almost impossible to make zongzi themselves. So here are some recommended places to buy zongzi in Beijing and Shanghai.
Zongzi is a kind of rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves to form a pyramid. The stuffing is mostly made of glutinous rice and complemented with Chinese dates, red beans, and salty meats. Generally speaking, zongzi is divided into two categories, salty zongzi which is popular in South China, and the sweet ones in North China.

Chinese people believe that festivals should be celebrated together with their families, yet not all everyone can make it. For those who feel homesick, they may smell something similar to their mother's zongzi from A Po Zong, which are completely handmade as well as soft and sticky.

Two flavors are recommended: the salty yolk and meat zongzi, which is stuffed with tender pork and preserved egg yolk. The other is the sweet corn. and honey Chinese date zongzi, which is stuffed with fresh corn and a big sweet sticky Chinese date.

令人难以忘怀的"英文经典电影"

令人难以忘怀的英文经典电影
泰坦尼克(美国):让人热泪长流的场景是:在杰克的劝说下露丝上了救生艇,杰克平静地向露丝招手;在将要断裂的甲板上,两人面对着生离死别,加上那搅动心弦的乐曲浪漫、演绎了一段最浪漫、最撕心扯肺的爱情。露丝眼睁睁地看着杰克沉没在冰冷的海中里……看到这里于是无法抑制地哭了,这些煽情的地方不仅赚足了人们的眼泪,也赚足了人们的钱。
天堂影院(意大利)......以西西里岛为舞台,在一个人人都爱看电影的小镇,一个自小崇拜电影放映师的少年,长大后也成为了电影放映师。时光流走30年,他再回到小镇时,给他留下美好回忆的电影院已变成废墟。 第一次看这部电影是在很多年前,那时在热恋中。情节简单的电影也被看得恍恍惚惚,只记得看完电影后,和热恋中的男友手牵手,深夜走在大街上,月光里,很幸福。再看这部电影时已是多年之后,当看到电影结尾时银幕上各种接吻镜头组接在一起,不断从面前滑过,突然想起他来,我以为我已经忘了他,于是再也忍不住地哭了。情人(法国)

  根据杜拉斯小说改编的电影。电影中,梁家辉拒绝另一个她时说的那一句话让人印象深刻:“我的身体不要不爱我的人。”

  影片的高潮是在她终于乘船离开越南的时候,那场不同寻常的唯美的告别和分离。船缓缓的驶离港口,渐行渐远,她忍住了泪,望着她曾经生活过的这个地方……她并没有预计他会来送别,却突然看见远处那辆她熟悉的黑色轿车!

  在回国的船上那个女孩哭出声来。原来自己是那么爱他!电影结束在"他说他将至死爱着她"的那个老妇苍老的画外音里。
8. 新桥恋人(法国)

  一个是流浪汉亚力斯,一个是因失恋而自我放逐的富家小姐米雪儿,两人之间一段惊世骇俗的爱情。他们的恋情那么绝望,疯狂。为了永远厮守,亚力斯烧掉了所有寻找米雪儿的海报,失手烧死了贴报人;米雪儿将安眠药放入酒里趁亚力斯熟睡独自离开,去治她将要失明的双眼。当米雪儿离开他,亚力斯用枪里的最后一颗子弹轰掉了自己的手。几年之后他们重逢在新桥上,亚力斯拥抱米雪尔,意外掉入河中,被一艘运砂船救起。结尾是男女两人站在船头。虽然是运砂船,却足以显出法国人的浪漫。
9. 八月照相馆(韩国)

  假如你要死了,你会怎样度过剩下的日子呢?永元选择继续留在自己梦一样的照相馆里。在他生命的最后日子迎来了爱情。对于德琳,爱情仿佛一场刚刚到来的小雨,刚开始莫名的点点滴滴。永元不会让她的天空大雨滂沱,他能够做的,只是隔着玻璃轻轻抚摸她的倩影,渐行渐远。一个年轻的生命平静远去,他甚至还给自己拍下最后的留影。他坐在相机的对面,脸上的笑容不大自然,他重新站起,做好再一次的调整,又坐下,笑容更加温暖——然后,照片就被加了黑边。这一刻,哽咽终于冲破喉咙,泪雨滂沱。一个年轻人死在八月,窗外的树叶还在风里摇着。

1
“从现在开始,你只许疼我一个人,要宠我,不能骗我,答应我的每一件事都要做到,对我讲得每一句话都要真心,不许欺负我,骂我,要相信我,别人欺负我,你要在第一时间出来帮我,我开心了,你就要陪着我开心,我不开心了,你就要哄我开心,永远都要觉得我是最漂亮的,梦里也要见到我,在你的心里面只有我,就是这样了。 “

<我的野蛮女友>

3
你应该这么做,我也应该死。曾经有一份真诚的爱情放在我面前,我没有珍惜,等我失去的时候我才后悔莫及,人世间最痛苦的事莫过于此。你的剑在我的咽喉上割下去吧!不用再犹豫了!如果上天能够给我一个再来一次的机会,我会对那个女孩子说三个字:我爱你。如果非要在这份爱上加上一个期限,我希望是……一万年
<大话西游-月光宝盒>

当你年轻时,以为什么都有答案,可是老了的时候,你可能又觉得其实人生并没有所谓的答案。
每天你都有机会和很多人擦身而过,
有些人可能会变成你的朋友 或者是知己
所以我从来没有放弃任何跟人磨擦的机会。
有时候搞得自己头破血流,
管他呢! 开心就行了。

西毒:从小我就懂得保护自己,我知道要想不被人拒绝,最好的办法就是先拒绝别人。
西毒:醉生梦死,不过是她跟我开的一个玩笑。有些事情你越想忘记,就会记得越牢。当有些事情你无法得到时,你惟一能做的,就是不要忘记。
慕容:我曾经问过自己,你最爱的女人是不是我?但是我现在已经不想知道。如果有一天我忍不住问你,你一定要骗我。就算你心里多不情愿,也不要告诉我你最爱的人不是我。
<东邪西毒>

8
"很多时候,爱一个人爱得太深,人会醉,而恨得太久,心也容易碎。世间最痛苦的事莫过于等待,我不知道她等了我多久,我一直以为我不会再有机会见到她,突然间,我不知道该怎么开口,不知道怎么讲第一句话,告诉她,我真的很爱她。原来尘世间有很多烦恼是很容易解决的,有些事只要你肯反过来看,你会有另外一番光景,我终于明白,静花水月是什么意思,其实情之所至,应该你中有我,我中有你,谁是男谁是女,又有什么关系,两个人在一起开心不就行了,今天她是小霸王,可能明天又会轮到我了。
<天下无双>

9
生命中充满了巧合,两条平行线也会有相交的一天。
<向左走,向右走>

10
也许每一个男子全都有过这样的两个女人,至少两个.娶了红玫瑰,久而久之,红的变了墙上的一抹蚊子血,白的还是“床前明月光”;娶了白玫瑰,白的便是衣服上的一粒饭粘子,红的却是心口上的一颗朱砂痣。
<红玫瑰与白玫瑰>

11
我一直在骗你你知道吗?
骗就骗吧,就像飞蛾一样,明知道要受伤,还是会扑到火上-飞蛾就那么?!
<大话西游-大圣娶亲>

世界上最远的距离不是生与死,而是站在你面前不敢说爱你。

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day
Gifts for Dad on Father's Day:Shakespeare says, "It is a wise father that knows his own child." And all dads definitely deserve a special gift for Father's Day. While selecting a gift for dad can be difficult, he will be happy with just about anything his children give him. Yet it takes both heart and mind to explore what your dad likes most. To give you some inspiration, here are some idea:...
Panacea gifts that please all fathers:

If you can't see your Dad on Father's Day, then write him a paper or electronic card, or call dad, telling him you love him.
If you do have time to visit Dad this Sunday, then have a meal with him and toast him good health. What's more, give him a warm hug at the end of the meal, because nothing can express how much you care for him than physical contact.

If you manage to have even more time to spend with Dad, then cook him a meal. This surely will let him remember you by this meal. Take a walk with your father after the meal and have a nice chat.

电子商务的六种模式

电子商务的六种模式

分析电子商务,首先就要对各种模式进行归类,谁让归类是人们认识世界的基本看法呢?(植物学就是从分类开始的)。
以下的各种模式,我认为都是很成功,有前途的模式,只不过跨多种模式,就有不专注之嫌。
其一,直接销售模式。这种模式是最严格意义的电子商务。从上游批来货品(或者自己制造),放在网站上面销售,赚取差价。这是电子商务的最正统,最核心的模式,也是其他的所有的模式的基本形式。不错,好模式!
其一,黄页模式。这种模式把用户感兴趣的商家信息罗列,供用户使用。它的特点是信息可穷举,更新少。比方说,在一个城市,餐馆的数量是可以估计的,并且按照点评类网站的估计,餐饮业每年的更新比例为10%,其他的行业会更低一些。这种模式的盈利主要以登录收费为主。这个模式在信息发布成本相对高的时候(比如互联网初期)还比较好,但是在随便一个商家都可以廉价发布信息的时候,就显得潜力不足。最近的黄页模式加入了点评(比如大众点评网),或者加入了本地,小区的概念(比如燕窝网回龙观社区),使最古老的电子商务模式重新焕发了生机。不错,好模式!
其一,打折券模式。这种模式和黄页模式非常类似,但是打折券模式(Coupon)的信息是活的,更新频繁;黄页模式是死的,不可变。而且打折券模式的信息更加多样,更加有时间性,也就导致信息变得不可穷举。打折券模式并不一定会出现打折券,比如新店开业,促销,新品等等信息的发布,给传统黄页模式注入新的元素。不错,好模式!
其一,佣金模式。这种模式并不直接销售,而是通过汇集用户,向其他电子商务模式的网站提供订单的用户,并且按照某种事先或者事后约定的规则,获取佣金。佣金可能是按单,按百分比,按用户数等等。而积累用户,又有很多模式。比如说Shopping.com, askyaya.com的比较购物模式,Qunar.com的直接查询模式,豆瓣的内容社区模式等等。最终的销售还是在其他的网站上面,只管送人过去,之后就拍拍手,什么事情都不做了,只管收钱。收入和成本线并不直接关联,有明显的边际效应。不错,好模式!
其一,预定模式。这种模式和佣金模式非常类似,不同的是,这种模式在佣金模式中的用户和商家之间,硬生生的插入了一个服务层来。通过提供优秀的预订服务,让用户先付钱到网站,然后再分给下游。比如携程,就是典型的加了一个服务层来。这个层,成本比佣金模式的没有这一层高出不少(携程的千人呼叫中心就是),但是收入更加大幅的增加,因为抓住了用户,议价能力迅速提高,向上要挟供货商提高佣金,向下提高零售价格(携程现在的价格远不是最低的,而是靠买自己的服务),就像沃尔玛在传统零售业一样。携程模式因为加了服务,更适合中国。不过当这一层逐渐增大的时候,就是上下游都在寻找替代者的时候。这种模式介于正统的C2C和B2C之间的模式。不错,好模式!
其一,市场模式。这种模式,其实就是平台模式,或者C2C模式。菜场比不得百货公司,更不是超市,它只是提供一个地方,供所有商家在这个地方摆摊。一个菜市场里面有5-6家卖黄瓜,互相竞争,共同生存很正常,而在其他的B2C模式中,这种现象就显得奇怪。菜场因为完全不介入销售过程,仅仅提供清洁,安全等基本服务。收费也主要以场地费用为主。这种模式,可扩展性很好,但是也是发展起来需要耐心的模式。不错,好模式!
还有吗?大家补充。。。
注:单纯学术性的讨论有多少种模式就像孔乙己对于回字的几种写法的关心一样毫无意义。重要的不是区分,或者争论到底是那种模式,重要的是思考每种模式不同的运作特点,盈利模式,运营的关注点等等。每种模式的运营其实是有巨大的差别的。用一种模式的做法去做另外一种模式,就比较危险。谁让这几种模式的差异又那么小呢?做的时候,常犯的错误是看着一种模式的好,忘了他的弱点来。帖子的其余部分

世界上几种著名的股票指数

世界上几种著名的股票指数

道·琼斯股票指数 ---道·琼斯股票指数是世界上历史最为悠久的股票指数,它的全称为股票价格平均数。它是在1884年由道·琼斯公司的创始人查理斯·道开始编制的。其最初的道·琼斯股票价格平均指数是根据11种具有代表性的铁路公司的股票,采用算术平均法进行计算编制而成,发表在查理斯·道自己编辑出版的《每日通讯》上。其计算公式为:   

股票价格平均数=入选股票的价格之和入选股票的数量自1897年起,道·琼斯股票价格平均指数开始分成工业与运输业两大类,其中工业股票价格平均指数包括12种股票,运输业平均指数则包括20种股票,并且开始在道·琼斯公司出版的《华尔街日报》上公布。在1929年,道·琼斯股票价格平均指数又增加了公用事业类股票,使其所包含的股票达到65种,并一直延续至今。   现在的道·琼斯股票价格平均指数是以1928年10月1日为基期,因为这一天收盘时的道·琼斯股票价格平均数恰好约为100美元,所以就将其定为基准日。而以后股票价格同基期相比计算出的百分数,就成为各期的投票价格指数,所以现在的股票指数普遍用点来做单位,而股票指数每一点的涨跌就是相对于基准日的涨跌百分数。   
道·琼斯股票价格平均指数最初的计算方法是用简单算术平均法求得,当遇到股票的除权除息时,股票指数将发生不连续的现象。1928年后,道·琼斯股票价格平均数就改用新的计算方法,即在计点的股票除权或除息时采用连接技术,以保证股票指数的连续,从而使股票指数得到了完善,并逐渐推广到全世界.........   

目前,道·琼斯股票价格平均指数共分四组,第一组是工业股票价格平均指数。它由30种有代表性的大工商业公司的股票组成,且随经济发展而变大,大致可以反映美国整个工商业股票的价格水平,这也就是人们通常所引用的道·琼斯工业股票价格平均数。第二组是运输业股票价格平均指数。   
它包括着20种有代表性的运输业公司的股票,即8家铁路运输公司、8家航空公司和 4家公路货运公司。第三组是公用事业股票价格平均指数,是由代表着美国公用事业的1 5家煤气公司和电力公司的股票所组成。第四组是平均价格综合指数。   
它是综合前三组股票价格平均指数65种股票而得出的综合指数,这组综合指数虽然为优等股票提供了直接的股票市场状况,但现在通常引用的是第一组——工业股票价格平均指数。   
道·琼斯股票价格平均指数是目前世界上影响最大、最有权威性的一种股票价格指数,原因之一是道·琼斯股票价格平均指数所选用的股票都是有代表性,这些股票的发行公司都是本行业具有重要影响的著名公司,其股票行情为世界股票市场所瞩目,各国投资者都极为重视。为了保持这一特点,道·琼斯公司对其编制的股票价格平均指数所选用的股票经常予以调整,用具有活力的更有代表性的公司股票替代那些失去代表性的公司股票。自1928年以来,仅用于计算道·琼斯工业股票价格平均指数的30种工商业公司股票,已有30次更换,几乎每两年就要有一个新公司的股票代替老公司的股票。原因之二是,公布道·琼斯股票价格平均指数的新闻载体——《华尔街日报》是世界金融界最有影响力的报纸。   该报每天详尽报道其每个小时计算的采样股票平均指数、百分比变动率、每种采样股票的成交数额等,并注意对股票分股后的股票价格平均指数进行校正。在纽约证券交易营业时间里,每隔半小时公布一次道·琼斯股票价格平均指数。原因之三是,这一股票价格平均指数自编制以来从未间断,可以用来比较不同时期的股票行情和经济发展情况,成为反映美国股市行情变化最敏感的股票价格平均指数之一,是观察市场动态和从事股票投资的主要参考。当然,由于道·琼斯股票价格指数是一种成分股指数,它包括的公司仅占目前2500多家上市公司的极少部分,而且多是热门股票,且未将近年来发展迅速的服务性行业和金融业的公司包括在内,所以它的代表性也一直受到人们的质疑和批评。

标准·普尔股票价格指数--除了道·琼斯股票价格指数外,标准·普尔股票价格指数在美国也很有影响,它是美国最大的证券研究机构即标准·普尔公司编制的股票价格指数。该公司于1923年开始编制发表股票价格指数。最初采选了230种股票,编制两种股票价格指数。到1957年,这一股票价格指数的范围扩大到500种股票,分成95种组合。其中最重要的四种组合是工业股票组、铁路股票组、公用事业股票组和500种股票混合组。从1976年7月1日开始,改为 400种工业股票,20种运输业股票,40种公用事业股票和40种金融业股票。几十年来,虽然有股票更迭,但始终保持为500种。标准·普尔公司股票价格指数以1941年至1943年抽样股票的平均市价为基期,以上市股票数为权数,按基期进行加权计算,其基点数为10。以目前的股票市场价格乘以股票市场上发行的股票数量为分子,用基期的股票市场价格乘以基期股票数为分母,相除之数再乘以10就是股票价格指数。

纽约证券交易所股票价格指数--纽约证券交易所股票价格指数。这是由纽约证券交易所编制的股票价格指数。它起自1966年6月,先是普通股股票价格指数,后来改为混合指数,包括着在纽约证券交易所上市的1500家公司的1570种股票。具体计算方法是将这些股票按价格高低分开排列,分别计算工业股票、金融业股票、公用事业股票、运输业股票的价格指数,最大和最广泛的是工业股票价格指数,由1093种股票组成;金融业股票价格指数包括投资公司、储蓄贷款协会、分期付款融资公司、商业银行、保险公司和不动产公司的223种股票;运输业股票价格指数包括铁路、航空、轮船、汽车
等公司的65种股票;公用事业股票价格指数则有电话电报公司、煤气公司、电力公司和邮电公司的189种股票。
纽约股票价格指数是以1965年12月31日确定的50点为基数,采用的是综合指数形式。纽约证券交易所每半个小时公布一次指数的变动情况。虽然纽约证券交易所编制股票价格指数的时间不长,因它可以全面及时地反映其股票市场活动的综合状况,较为受投资者欢迎。

日经道·琼斯股价指数(日经平均股价)--系由日本经济新闻社编制并公布的反映日本股票市场价格变动的股票价格平均数。该指数从1950年9月开始编制。   最初根据东京证券交易所第一市场上市的225家公司的股票算出修正平均股价,当时称为“东证修正平均股价”。1975年5月1日,日本经济新闻社向道·琼斯公司买进商标,采用美国道·琼斯公司的修正法计算,这种股票指数也就改称“日经道·琼斯平均股价”。 1985年5月1日在合同期满10年时,经两家商议,将名称改为“日经平均股价”。   
按计算对象的采样数目不同,该指数分为两种,一种是日经225种平均股价。其所选样本均为在东京证券交易所第一市场上市的股票,样本选定后原则上不再更改。1981年定位制造业150家,建筑业10家、水产业3家、矿业3家、商业12家、路运及海运14家、金融保险业15家、不动产业3家、仓库业、电力和煤气4家、服务业5家。由于日经225种平均股价从1950年一直延续下来,因而其连续性及可比性较好,成为考察和分析日本股票市场长期演变及动态的最常用和最可靠指标。该指数的另一种是日经500种平均股价。这是从1982年1月4日起开始编制的。由于其采样包括有500种股票,其代表性就相对更为广泛,但它的样本是不固定的,每年4月份要根据上市公司的经营状况、成交量和成交金额、市价总值等因素对样本进行更换。

《金融时报》股票价格指数--《金融时报》股票价格指数的全称是“伦敦《金融时报》工商业普通股股票价格指数”,是由英国《金融时报》公布发表的。该股票价格指数包括着在英国工商业中挑选出来的具有代表性的30家公开挂牌的普通股股票。它以1935年7月1日作为基期,其基点为100点。该股票价格指数以能够及时显示伦敦股票市场情况而闻名于世。

香港恒生指数--香港恒生指数是香港股票市场上历史最久、影响最大的股票价格指数,由香港恒生银行于1969年11月24日开始发表。   
恒生股票价格指数包括从香港500多家上市公司中挑选出来的33家有代表性且经济实力雄厚的大公司股票作为成份股,分为四大类——4种金融业股票、6种公用事业股票、 9种地产业股票和14种其他工商业(包括航空和酒店)股票。   
这些股票占香港股票市值的63.8%,因该股票指数涉及到香港的各个行业,具有较强的代表性。   
恒生股票价格指数的编制是以1964年7月31日为基期,因为这一天香港股市运行正常,成交值均匀,可反映整个香港股市的基本情况,基点确定为100点。其计算方法是将33种股票按每天的收盘价乘以各自的发行股数为计算日的市值,再与基期的市值相比较,乘以100就得出当天的股票价格指数。   
由于恒生股票价格指数所选择的基期适当,因此,不论股票市场狂升或猛跌,还是处于正常交易水平,恒生股票价格指数基本上能反映整个股市的活动情况。   
自1969年恒生股票价格指数发表以来,已经过多次调整。由于1980年8月香港当局通过立法,将香港证券交易所、远东交易所、金银证券交易所和九龙证券所合并为香港联合证券交易所,在目前的香港股票市场上,只有恒生股票价格指数与新产生的香港指数并存,香港的其他股票价格指数均不复存在。

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS的概念:SaaSSoftware-as-a-service(软件即服务)的简称,一种软件应用模式。
厂商将应用软件统一部署在自己的服务器上,客户可以根据自己实际需求,通过互联网向厂商定购所需的应用软件服务,按定购的服务多少和时间长短向厂商支付费用,并通过互联网获得厂商提供的服务。
用户不用再购买盒装软件,而改用向提供商租用基于(Web)的软件,来管理企业经营活动,且无需对软件进行维护,服务提供商会全权管理和维护软件。对于众多小型企业来说,SaaS是采用先进技术的最好途径,它消除了企业购买、构建和维护基础设施和应用程序的需要,只需通过互联网便可以享受到相应的硬件、软件和维护服务,是网络应用最具效益的营运模式,也必将成为未来软件应用的主流模式。SaaS(软件即服务)已经为越来越多的中小企业所熟知,通过租赁的方式享受软件服务,对许多中小企业来说是应用先进技术的最好途径。它不仅降低了企业的软件服务拥有成本,缩短了信息化建设周期,还大大减少了中小企业的运维成本。SaaS的出现彻底颠覆了传统软件的运营模式.

SaaS服务的优势:对企业来说,SaaS的优点在于:⒈ 从技术方面来看:企业无需再配备IT方面的专业技术人员,同时又能得到最新的技术应用,满足企业对信息管理的需求。
⒉ 从投资方面来看:企业只以相对低廉的“月费”方式投资,不用一次性投资到位,不占用过多的营运资金,从而缓解企业资金不足的压力;不用考虑成本折旧问题,并能及时获得最新硬件平台及最佳解决方案。  
⒊ 从维护和管理方面来看:由于企业采取租用的方式来进行物流业务管理,不需要专门的维护和管理人员,也不需要为维护和管理人员支付额外费用。很大程度上缓解企业在人力、财力上的压力,使其能够集中资金对核心业务进行有效的运营。
SaaS(软件即服务)的魅力
  一种通过在线使用软件的服务越来越受到人们的关注,一时间,ASP服务、软件租用、月租型、托管型、在线软件充斥着软件世界,月租型CRM、在线OA、托管型ERP让人感觉新鲜,但仔细了解,你会感觉到SaaS(软件即服务)不仅仅耳目一新,它带来的是一场软件行业的变革!
  SaaS软件即服务(Software as a Service)是一种新的软件服务模式,客户通过服务商的网站了解到自己花多少钱,可以得到多少应用功能的软件服务,并通过在线试用,确定符合自己的需求的基础上,购买服务,并通过上网来使用这种服务!
  充满生命力的SaaS(软件即服务)
  这种模式是使得软件具有更佳的基础,因为厂商不得不对客户的满意度给予更加密切的关注,并由此对问题和扩展需求做出更快的响应,从而使软件服务更加趋于标准化,另一方面又照顾到个别企业的特殊要求,高频率的升级完善,使客户感觉每一个修订都是吻合自己的需求!
  大型的传统软件公司企业将与提供SaaS解决方案的公司进行艰难的竞争,他们中的许多公司试图通过自己的按需供应来做出回应。微软,SAP等都在2006年发布了自己的SaaS产品来顺应市场的需求!
  规模化提供软件服务成为可能
  服务商通过规模开发,规模销售,规模化的市场影响来提供这种服务,中国电信的商务领航软件服务就是一个例子,在其商务领航的网站中我们可以看到类似月租型CRM、邮件系统、OA系统等,中国电信的广大的企业宽带用户群受到影响,企业主认识到SaaS这种服务是最低成本实施信息化的最佳方式!
  在其背后,我们看到软件开发厂商的影子,XToolsCRM为中国电信提供租用软件系统维护!XToolsCRM找到了一个规模化影响企业客户的平台,企业客户通过电信的商务领航的平台了解并使用XToolsCRM的月租型CRM服务!据了解,XToolsCRM已经积累了上千的企业付费客户!
  这种规模化提供服务方式使平摊到每个付费企业的成本更低,实际上正是低廉的租用价格吸引越来越多的企业来租用这种软件系统!
  软件交付方式的变革
  这种规模化提供服务使服务提供商和潜在客户之间沟通成本降低,用户得到的最终软件都在互联网上展示出来,软件的标准化服务对应标准化报价,客户清楚了解自己购买的服务将给自己企业管理带来什么样的效果,而不用操心软件是否能够顺利推行和实施!想用就用就是SaaS倡导的精神所在!
  软件服务提供商没有必要和客户在讨价还价的拉锯中浪费精力,服务商的80%的精力应该投入客户服务和完善软件功能上面。
  在传统的应用程序部署模式中,客户得到一个永久性的软件许可证,并且假设软件的执行和运行的职责,这对最终用户有很多不利,软件在购买之前是模糊的和不透明的!重要的是,软件购买者对成本、复杂性以及从自己的投资中认识到价值所需的时间的不满在不断增加,这使得他们灰心丧气并且去寻求一种更好的方法。
  另外,这种新的交付模式正越来越受到最终用户的欢迎,因为他们不必再负担基础结构、全体IT工作人员以及诸如应用程序管理、监控、维护和灾难恢复等等操作性问题的成本。
  有人说:SaaS在颠覆传统软件模式,作者觉得,SaaS的发展确实不容忽视。

College entrance examination begins

Today is College entrance examination .....

BEIJING, June 7 -- Various government departments in Shenzhen are taking measures to ensure a smooth National College Entrance Examinations (NCEE) for local high school graduates, Chinese-language media reported June 6.
The traffic police department said they would deploy about 1,000 policemen near the city's 24 NCEE centers during the exam period, which begins today and lasts until Saturday.
The department has reminded drivers to avoid roads near the NCEE centers and refrain from blowing car horns near the centers. The police have designated some places as temporary parking lots for parents who drive their children to the exam centers.
The police said they would implement temporary traffic control measures near the centers if they find it necessary, and remind drivers to follow police guidelines.
The city's environmental protection bureau issued a notice May 29 for less noise pollution from June 1 to Saturday, the last day of NCEE. It will operate a 24-hour hotline, 12369, from today to Saturday for complaints about noise. Construction companies are not allowed to work after 11 p.m. and the noise in housing estates should be below five decibels during the NCEE period.
The department said it would send inspectors to check noise pollution to ensure a quiet and pleasant environment for the examinees.
Other departments like urban administration, public health, and electricity said they all have put forward related measures to better serve the examinees.
Li Yizhen, deputy secretary of the municipal committee of the CPC, inspected some of the NCEE sites Monday. He required related departments to prepare umbrellas, towels and dry clothes for examinees in case of heavy rain during the period. He also asked school canteens to provide quality food for examinees.
Meanwhile, two local taxi companies said they would have about 200 taxis providing free rides to needy examinees during the period, the Daily Sunshine reported. Examinees can call 8379-9358 for free rides to take them to the NCEE centers.

Stocks gear up for growth

Stocks gear up for growth
After yesterday's quick shifts in corrections, Chinese stocks formed a clear upward trend this morning. The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 3,832.09 by noon, up 55.77 points or 1.48 percent.
Opening higher from 3,787.70, the index climbed up in waves with a few setbacks, none of which was deep enough to reverse the trend. The index hit the lowest point at 3,779.50 in a dive right after the opening, and the highest at 3,839.25 soon before 11:30, both higher than yesterday's closing level.
The Shenzhen Component Index, tracking the smaller Shenzhen Stock Exchange, closed at 12,612.86, up 274.68 points or 2.23 percent. It went through the morning session within a range from 12,357.56 to 12,638.80. Of the A-shares, as many as 1,178 went up, while 134 fell and 121 closed unchanged. Cosun ranked on top of the Shanghai exchange with a 10.05 percent surge to 8.87. Nafine Chemical Industry Group rose 10.07 percent as the biggest gainer in the Shenzhen bourse.
China Unicom rose 0.01 yuan with the largest trading volume and Sinopec fell 0.05 yuan with the largest transaction value in the Shanghai bourse. TCL and China Vanke ranked on top in the Shenzhen bourse.
Stocks in the construction, pharmaceutical and mining industries led the surge. CRBC International was sealed at the maximum increase cap of 10 percent to pioneer the construction sector. Machinery makers also performed well today.
B shares were up. Of the 109 B shares listed on the two exchanges, 55 rose and nine ended flat. Closed-end funds listed on the exchanges were also strong.
Analysts believe price correction is inevitable, even if there were no such a stamp tax hike. Bubbles in deed existed in the stock market. The latest data showed that in May there had been 29 stocks with price to earnings (P/E) ratios higher than 1,000 in the Shenzhen bourse, compared with only three stocks in January.
Chongqing Yukaifa and Yantai Dongfang Electronics Information Industry had P/E ratios at 8,000, followed by ST Anhui Feicai Vehicle with P/E ratio of 3,850. Five stocks had P/E ratios between 2,000 and - 3,000 and the rest 21 between 1,000 and 2,000.
The recent market corrections have scared many investors away. New A-share accounts opened on June 5 were 162,200, the fewest for two months. Total account opening was 189,100 at the two stock exchanges, including 2,396 B-share and 24,500 fund accounts for that day, according to China Depository and Clearing Co Ltd.
By Tuesday, there had been 102,692,900 investment accounts in the two bourses, including 88,818,500 A-share, 2,185,800 B-share and 11,688,600 fund accounts.
Many investors fear China may impose a capital gains tax to cool an "overheated" stock market. But legal experts think it is impossible that such a tax will be issued overnight like the stamp tax hike, according to the Shanghai Securities News.
"Based on the State Council's 1988 Provisional Rules for Stamp Tax, adjustment in the stamp tax rate may be decided by relevant government bodies," said a source. "But the capital gains tax is a completely new tax. There are no legal grounds for it now. It needs to go through a full procedure of legislation before it is for approval by the taxation authority."
Central bank vice governor Wu Xiaoling said on the sidelines of a financial forum held in Tianjin yesterday that the recent turmoil in the stock market is not detrimental enough to affect the Chinese economy.
Wu stressed the importance of a stable and healthy capital market to the country's economic growth. All the central government did were for the long-term development of the market, she said. Investors should build up or recollect their confidence in the economy and the stock market. They should also understand the goodwill by the regulators and improve abilities of risk assessment and control, she added.

China stocks plunge 8% in panic selling

China stocks plunge 8% in panic selling

Chinese stocks plunged more than eight percent on Monday as jittery investors dumped shares in worries about further potential governmental moves to dampen the market following a stamp tax hike.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 8.26 percent to close at 3,670.41 points, adding to sharp falls last week. That marked the biggest drop since February 27 when the index plummeted 8.84 percent, triggering a global sell-off.

Only 25 out of more than 1,400 stocks in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges rose, while about 800 stocks fell to their daily limit of 10 percent.

Blue chip stocks failed to stay firm and joined the small-capital shares in the plunge, which analysts said further affected investors' confidence.

Sinopec dropped its 10 percent limit to 13.65 yuan, reversing three days of straight rises.
The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China lost 8.10 percent to 4.99 yuan, while Bank of China fell 9.25 percent to 5.10 yuan.

Hundreds of small-capital stocks have declined by their daily limit for four consecutive sessions.
The decline came as investors remained jittery about speculation on the collection of capital gains tax and on the abolition of tax on interest accrued from deposits. Taxation officials have rejected the rumor, but that did not seem to reassure the investors.

The Ministry of Finance denied an increase in stamp tax on trading on May 22, but then announced seven days later the tripling of the rate to 0.3 percent from 0.1 percent, triggering a 6.5 percent drop in the Shanghai Composite Index.

China will eventually start to levy capital gains tax on stock trading, said Hu Bing, an official with the China Securities Regulatory Commission Thursday in New York, according to earlier reports.

The lack of the duty lead to a widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, Hu noted. "However, phasing in capital gains tax is a long-term process as it is a major issue that depends on the development of the market."

Investors seemed to have slowed down the pace of opening new share trading accounts. On Thursday, 270,000 A-share accounts were opened, down from an average of more than 310,000 in the previous week albeit still at a high level.

However, Thursday saw the number of newly added fund accounts ballooned to 449,000 from about 50,000 on average in the previous week.

母亲节祝福

母亲节祝福
分享母亲喜悦也许,在我们这一生中,有许多人、许多事,经历了转身便会忘记,但在我们的心灵深处。
永远不会忘记我们的母亲,永远不会因为岁月的流逝而消减我们对母亲那深深的爱。
母亲节快乐!外边风吹雨打折磨着我,屋内和煦的阳光温暖着我,因为屋内有您,我爱您妈妈,永远永远!童年的青灯里有,你讲的故事,和我的笑声!时光荏苒,我们在妈妈温馨的抚爱中长大成人,妈妈总是把一缕缕温暖及时输送给我们,让我们在纷杂的尘世中永存那份做人的品性,不失那份人之初的纯真。

在这个特别的日子里,我想对妈妈您说声:妈妈节日快乐!愿妈妈在今后的日子里更加健康快乐!得意的时候,母亲不一定能在我的身边和我一起分享成功的喜悦。但她那淳淳教诲总能让我不再迷失自己。失意的时候,母亲一定能在我的身边。她的鼓励及安慰,总能让我在逆境中找到自我。
世界上,有一种爱一生一世不需要回报,那便是母爱;世界上有一种爱是无私的,那便是母爱;世界上有一种爱是永恒的,那便是母爱。母爱是生活中充斥耳边的不停的嘱咐,母爱是远行时那种期盼的目光和担忧的心情,母爱是生活中割舍不断的缕缕情思。它在平常生活的嘘寒问暖中,它在饭桌上,它在睡梦中,它在缝衣针里,它在电话那端的问候中……

看着母亲一丝一丝的白发,一条一条逐日渐深的皱纹,多年含辛茹苦哺育我成人的母亲,在这属于您的节日里请接受我对您最深切的祝愿:节日快乐,永远年轻!慈母手中线,游子身上衣,临行密密缝,意恐迟迟归,谁言寸草心,报得三春晖。
