許老師
數周前 忠信跟我說些你開"博雅"課的一些花絮
我這幾天翻一下
The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Daily Life [Six Volumes] A Tour through History from Ancient Times to the Present
知道其中引了"教科書"一段
Everyday life consists of the little things one hardly notices in time and space...through the details, a society stands revealed
The way people eat, or lodge at the different levels of that society are never a matter of indifference.
--Fernand Braudel, The Structure of Everyday Life (New Yorker: Harper and Row, 1979), 29
心想 也許考試只要求學生將這句翻譯 並記一下他們自己的日常生活 那就可以

“
我們現有的管理哲學及建立在這哲學之上的管理方法，
已經走到了盡頭，現有種種有關經濟活動和人類行為
的基本假定已使我們有如身處一無形的監獄中。”
---Edward Deming
“
無盡的檢查、監督、勾稽、呈報和控制這些無謂的活動
和不必要的複雜性，使得工作者原有的創造力和熱情
折損殆盡，這種代價是無法估計的。”

| (中央社記者張榮祥台南市23日電)台灣基督教長老教會今天建議民進黨主席蔡英文，民進黨不要只說別人，自己也要反省；蔡英文則說，信賴和誠信是民進黨最大的挑戰，民進黨要說到做到。 蔡英文下午在台南市新樓醫院和台灣基督教長老教會台南中會成員座談，坐在蔡英文旁邊的新樓醫院主任牧師許天賢對蔡英文說，民進黨應多些政治家，少些政客，不要內鬥內行，外鬥外行，不要把維護台灣主權拿來作秀。 許天賢表示，民進黨不要把長老教會當成民進黨的眷村、工具和鐵票，前總統陳水扁把錢匯到國外，就是不對，阿扁有錯，就要說出來，但他從未聽到民進黨表態過，民進黨要反省。 蔡英文未對陳水扁匯錢案一事回應，但她說，民進黨執政時，很多理想都做不到，現在民進黨要說到做到，能做到的事才說，有時候成功後再說。 蔡英文同時批評中國國民黨執政後，白色恐佈、威權時代及組織型態本質不變，利用司法案件羞辱民進黨的政治人物，阿扁就是最典型的例子，民進黨沒有一人未被司法或監察院調查。 蔡英文認為，台灣主權要靠總統馬英九保住是不可能的，美國和日本對中國有所求，態度也無法強硬，台灣不能靠國民黨來保護，得靠人民保護，本土力量要強而有力，民進黨一定要再執政一次，台灣和中國的關係，必須讓台灣人民決定。980523 |

Back in the 1940s, when General Motors was seen by many as the most successful and powerful post-war company, Alfred P. Sloan invited the innovative W. Edwards Deming up to Detroit to see if things could be done better.作者這段是時空錯亂啦 他倆應該沒見面過
Deming's report thrashed every aspect of GMs process, culture, and especially management, who treated the factory workers like nothing more than machine parts and labour as a whole as if it were the enemy.
Deming was kicked so far out of Sloan's office that he landed in Japan, where he taught a humbled Japanese workforce how to transform Made In Japan from a warning label to a world standard for excellence.
Twenty years after that the success of Deming's transformational thinking was obvious, and thirty years after his initial work he wrote Out of the Crisis. And today we see the difference between those companies who truly adopted these teachings versus those who merely pretended to.

中
國國家統計局副局長許憲春日前撰文﹐以出人意料坦率的口吻解釋了中國常用經濟指標存在的一些不同。他的這篇非同尋常的文章看來是國家統計局提供更詳細、更透明的經濟數據的努力之一。中國領導人曾告誡統計局﹐他們需要這些數據以做出合理的決策。
這篇文章試圖解釋簡單地將中國的月度投資和支出數據相加為何不能得出國內生產總值的準確情況。需要處理的最為棘手的一個領域是家庭消費﹐這在中國通常是以月度零售額來衡量的。
2009 年前三個月的全國名義零售額比上年同期增長了15%。但國家統計局的數據顯示﹐同期物價出現了下跌﹐這意味著實際增長率更高﹐為15.9%。這個數據看來 顯示出在中國經歷20年來最嚴重的經濟低迷之際﹐消費還出人意料地出現了高速增長﹐這是因為受到了房地產和汽車銷售回升的推動。
但許多經濟學家一直覺得﹐零售額數據並不是反映中國家庭消費情況的可靠指標。許憲春本人也指出了這一眾所周知的不足之處﹐他說官方公佈的零售額數據包括一些不能被視為消費者支出的項目。
其中最重要的幾項一是以企業和政府機構為對象的零售額﹐這二者當然都不是消費者﹔二是建造住房用的建築材料﹐它其實應算作家庭投資的一部分。許憲春還說﹐零售額數據中也不包括用於教育和醫療等服務項目的支出﹐以及農村家庭所消費的自產產品。
許憲春在文章中寫道﹐與零售額相比﹐通過城鄉入戶調查得出的家庭消費開支數據能更好反映消費者支出情況。
而 家庭消費開支增長率要大大低於零售額增幅。許憲春說﹐國家統計局的家庭調查顯示﹐今年第一季度城市家庭的消費額實際增長了9.6%﹐農村家庭這一季度的消 費額增長了9.3%。根據統計局此前公佈的數據﹐上述增速快於2008年下半年﹐但卻不及2008年上半年﹐當時物價正快速上漲。
民間機 構的經濟學家對國家統計局家庭調查數據的準確性也有擔心﹕這一數據的調查面雖然很廣﹐但它似乎未能很好覆蓋到中國收入最高和收入最低的家庭。而且這一調查 得出的數據通常有很大波動性。不過﹐家庭消費開支數據看來確實更符合對消費的嚴格定義﹐至少更符合國家統計局對消費的定義。
許憲春在文章中說﹐國家統計局的初步估計顯示﹐國內生產總值(GDP)中消費者支出部分今年第一季度的實際增長率“不足9%”﹐顯然低於零售額的增長率。不幸的是﹐許憲春沒說此前幾個季度的消費者支出增長情況﹐這讓人難以瞭解消費者支出增長率的變化情況。
雖然許憲春是國家統計局的副局長﹐但他的文章還是附有一則免責聲明﹐稱文章只代表他的個人觀點﹐並不是國家統計局的官方看法。

因此來不及為你們放鞭炮 敬禮

畢竟歷史的現場 不同
我特別注意周邊建物的skylines等等

Toyota, Reality Collide
Toyota Motor's grim financial outlook is either too conservative or the world's dominant auto maker is losing its grip.
The company now has to remake itself to reflect shifting global demand.
Such a change is long overdue. It is only because Toyota's competitors have performed so dismally, especially in the U.S., that it has been able to avoid making tough decisions -- such as consolidating vehicle platforms in order to cut component and production costs; shifting manufacturing plants out of pricey Japan and closer to other major markets; and seizing upon swelling demand in developing economies that it risks ceding to the likes of General Motors, Volkswagen and Hyundai.
On Friday, the world's largest auto maker forecast a $5.5 billion net loss in the year ending next March. Revenue will fall as it sells 14% fewer cars, many at a lower price.
It will cut $8 billion in costs to keep the projected red ink from worsening.
Honda is targeting a 9% decline in unit sales, and a small profit. It is possible Toyota has made an ultraconservative forecast and isn't factoring in enough of a lift from coming Japanese government tax incentives for scrapping old cars, or the possibility that a weaker yen will lift results.
But even in the troubled U.S. market, where Toyota has been walloping Detroit's once-Big Three for years, weakness has emerged recently. Ford's April sales outpaced Toyota's for the first time in more than a year.
In China, where the market is growing so fast that just about everyone is gaining share, Toyota's sales fell in the January-March quarter.
Toyota's strengths include its Prius hybrid, its stalwart small and midsize cars, and its financing arm.
The company made apparent on Friday, though, that its weaknesses will dictate its future for now.

田汽車(Toyota Motor)黯淡的財務預期要麼是過於保守﹐要麼這家全球最大的汽車廠商就正在失去控制。豐田汽車現在必須作出改變﹐以反映不斷變化的全球需求。
Associated Press
豐田59年來首次出現年度虧損
豐田汽車上週五預計﹐截至明年3月的當前財年可能淨虧損55億美元。這家世界上最大的汽車製造公司預計﹐隨著銷量可能下滑14%和銷售價格的下跌﹐當年收入也將隨之下降。
豐田汽車計劃削減成本80億美元﹐以避免預期虧損進一步擴大。
豐田的競爭對手本田汽車(Honda)預計今年汽車銷售數量將下滑9%﹐但會略有盈利。豐田汽車可能作出了一個極為保守的預期﹐而且沒有充分考慮一些利好因素﹐諸如日本政府為淘汰舊車提供稅務激勵﹐或是日圓走低提振公司收益的可能性。
但即便在陷入困境的美國市場﹐豐田汽車近期也出現了頹勢。多年來﹐豐田汽車一直在美國市場壓著前底特律三巨頭。福特汽車(Ford)的4月份銷量一年多以來首次超過了豐田汽車。
在迅猛發展的中國市場﹐幾乎每個廠商的市場份額都在增長。但今年第一季度﹐豐田汽車的中國市場銷量出現了下滑。
豐田汽車的強勁實力包括了普瑞斯(Prius)混合動力車﹐可靠的小型車和中型車以及旗下的金融部門。
不過﹐上週五該公司的業績預計明確顯示﹐其弱點暫時將決定其未來。
