與陳志雲對質要求TVB回水專營費

在2009年7月14日晚上廣管局在禮頓山社區會堂舉行的公聽會，107動力帶同「請曾蔭權慳D」和「公開競投免費電視頻道」字牌，到場表達意見，惟在個多小時的發問時段皆未能發言，最後107動力召集人何民傑持舉牌到台上與陳志雲對質，何民傑批評：「為何陳志雲早前與邱騰華一起到超市做膠袋Show？是不是有違新聞篇採獨立？TVB多年來賺錢，但卻一分毫專營費都不用付，以過去應付的專營費計算，TVB正欠納稅人過億元，應該立即回水！」

re-post：膠袋稅令我 O 嘴

日期：2007年5月26日

提提大家

......政府為了硬銷政策，引用了愛爾蘭及台灣徵收膠袋稅後，購物膠袋派出量分別大大降低 90% 及 80% 的空前成功例子來引環保團體和人士就範。並預計政策實施後，每年膠袋總用量會由 84 億個減至 74 億個。將來，徵稅商店範圍擴大，用量會進一步減少。

商舖買定紙袋替代

所謂成功例子愛爾蘭為例，膠袋稅順理成章令超市所派發的膠袋數量減少，但另一邊廂，用來圍垃圾桶邊的垃圾袋銷量卻直線上升 1000% 。諷刺是根據 The British Retail Consortium 調查指出，愛爾蘭的總膠袋用量經兩者互相抵銷後，根本沒有減低。

由於膠袋徵稅，愛爾蘭的商舖士多，都買定一堆紙袋，希望沒有帶購物袋的顧客可以逃過一劫。大家又是否知道 1 噸膠袋有 105,560 個，而 1 噸紙袋只有 18,000 個。差 6 倍之多！加上製造紙袋所須的能量比製造膠袋高出 40% ，比較兩者之間的價格差別已可推斷出來。貨車為了運送紙袋，令愛爾蘭的商舖區交通比以前繁忙了 4 倍，塞車和送貨所耗用的油和經濟損失，不知特區政府有否考慮過呢？

那，用布袋購物不就解決了嗎？唔 … … 可我問你，你每日平均製造 3 袋垃圾，這個定律會因你用布袋去超市而改變嗎？答案是否定的話，膠袋的用量還是不會下跌，除非有比膠更適合裝垃圾的發明出現。

大家又知不知道，原油只有 2% 是用來造膠，有 84% 是用作基本能源。要搞環保，由膠袋做起又是否最明智呢？

政策一旦落實，我應該馬上轉行從商，開廠造膠袋。首先要發明一批 tube-top （無手挽）膠袋，逃過罰五毫的厄運，袋上實情有虛線，可沿邊撕開，成為手挽。接再造一批特大膠袋批給超市，反正不論膠袋大小都要罰五毫，不如要個大的。最後，我會將三個膠袋包為一 pack 放在超市上架，賣平過 $1.5 的話，應該都有市場。

七一遊行打開兩截

　　今年七一，最值得參詳的，與其說是遊行人數比預期少，毋寧說是遊行隊伍打開兩截！

　　筆者刻意反方向參加遊行，即是遊行先頭部隊到達政府總部並於紫檀這棵帝皇樹下集會之際，正是筆者步進維園足球場並與白鴿這種吳宇森寵兒擦身而過之時（是時的維園再度成為外傭的舞榭歌台，另外足球場已有人扮Ｃ朗拿度，籃球場已有人扮高比拜恩，還有兩隊ＰＴＵ在興發街出口談談笑笑，這隊疑似商議去哪兒打邊爐，那隊疑似商議去哪兒打四圈）。

　　筆者逆向操作後發現，沿途叫口號的聲浪不算高，其中熱點有二：一、社民連三子在鵝頸橋底打小人勝地籌款，長毛繼六四燭光晚會後，繼續領唱「曾蔭權──仆街」；二、香港人網二女（陳巧文、袁彌明）在百德新街圓形橋底嗌咪，除了大叫「曾蔭權──仆街」，還高呼「鄧竟成──仆街」（民間電台的曾健成更在波斯富街天橋底大嗌「曾蔭權仆街冚家剷」，但與兩個友好組織相比，號召力仍有一段距離）。......

男人與鞋

2009-06-15T21:53:00.002+08:00

好奇自己作為一個28歲的女人，到底擁有幾雙鞋。數一遍，答案是22雙。

居然有這麼多（雖然很多人會驚訝只有這麼少）！覺得多，是因為平日穿來穿去都是那雙。原來存貨還不少。

人們都喜歡將鞋子比作男人。記得14歲看柴門文的漫畫的一幕：女配角在鞋店看到對男人執迷不悔的女主角試一雙美極的高踭鞋，明顯尺碼不對。但任性的她堅持買下，說鞋子只要穿久一點還是可以被適應。此時理性的女配角氣極教訓了女主角一頓，對白是：“這個世界上，只有男人和鞋子是不能妥協的！”

這句話一記就記了14年。鞋子真的不能妥協嗎？男人呢？

我想一個女人選鞋子的哲學，跟選男人的倒有點關連。

我擁有一雙玻璃腳，打從15歲要穿著高踭鞋從加州花園跑到柴灣工業城casting，我就知道鞋子對我來說，極有可能導致重複的痛楚和傷害。就算一雙看毫無殺傷力的平底膠拖鞋，都很可能刮至我起水泡。鞋子刮腳的痛楚，男人一輩子都不會明白的；一步一痛，一痛下一步只會更痛。

但我是愛美的天秤座女子，對設計巧美的鞋子更是愛不釋手。由此可以想像，我走進lane crawford的心情是何等複雜；一邊陶醉在美輪美奐的新季鞋子架，一邊警惕地考察哪一雙鞋的帶子、扣子會把我的雙腳刮得血肉模糊。新貨場頓成危機四伏的戰場，稍不留神選上一雙糖衣裏暗藏敵意的高踭鞋回家，最終亦只能成為終生被軟禁的俘虜，閒時拿來觀賞；若堅持錄用，更是後患無窮。

因此，我會小心假設，一看知會刮腳的鞋，不用試了。

喜歡款色，但不知道會不會刮腳的，即管試試，假如即時有一丁點的discomfort，還是放棄。

最後買回家的就是喜歡的款式，試的時候沒有刮腳的。

But you know what?沒有人可以擔保穿上一個小時之後不會刮腳。買下那一刻，仍然是一個unknown。

我相信客觀條件多好的男人，還得在初步相處時磨合一番，把雙方的菱角磨平至彼此能接受的程度。就如某些鞋子，確實多穿幾天，刮腳的部份會變軟，從此不刮了。

奈何有些質料太硬的，given more time，還是不行。鞋子的質地有如男人的靈活性，我再重申，inflexible又固執的男人是我的 least priority，因為他們拒絕磨合、妥協，把“相處”的重擔完全轉嫁在女人身上。一雙怎麼穿都刮腳的鞋，若果堅持穿上，只會令女人受傷。

最終，永遠會刮腳的鞋可以妥協嗎？可以的，當我的行程是：家門口上車--》目的地門口下車--》走幾步地毯--》坐下--》回家門口。肯定它沒有時間和機會刮損我的腳。

令你傷心失望的男人可以妥協嗎？可以的，當我的理智清楚了解他的危險性，當我還懂得保護自己，肯定他沒有機會把我傷得太深。

22雙鞋，我到底最喜歡是哪雙？應該是那雙還未捨得穿的4寸Brian Atwood黑色漆皮圓頭，還是那雙深紅色鱷魚皮Jimmy Choo的open toe，還是那雙剛買下的蝴蝶結miu miu？他們都跟新鞋一樣，被我非常珍惜的放在“原裝洋蔥紙”和盒子裏。每次穿上都為隆重其事，但每次穿上都發覺還有刮腳的地方。相比起那雙隨便被放在門口鞋架的GEOX平底鞋，舒適程度實在差太遠。

說起那雙毫不起眼的GEOX，易於配襯所有衣服，一點都不刮腳，鞋底更有透氣孔。雖然聽起來不fancy，但功能勝過一切。仔細研究，原來GEOX是意大利出品，難怪價格一點都不低，可謂臥虎藏龍。

被問及最喜歡的事物時，人們總會受“喜歡”二字影響，而傾向選擇被理想化的現實；就如則重了最美的高踭鞋，忘記了最實用的一雙。當問題被包裝為：“失去了哪一雙鞋會令我最懊惱”時，答案則呼之欲出。

男人和鞋子的比擬，大概到此為止。

口舌生財？都幾準~

2009-06-08T08:06:00.002+08:00

新MONDAY--教紫微袁彌明口舌生財

紫微斗數是門對預測前程傾向極為準確的學問，但起盤定盤和推算過程繁複，沒有像生肖星座那樣的簡易版，讀者很難「自助」。不過現在網上起盤程式開始普及（下面就提供了1個網址），如有真確出生時辰，起盤不難。定盤和推算，可以由淺入深。如有正確命盤在手，略為知道眾星的性質，已可以對自己的人生傾向，有個大概的認識。

天機天梁紙上談兵

明明袁彌明的命宮沒有主星，要看對面宮位遷移宮的星：天機和天梁。天機是浮動的聰明星，天梁卻是原則星，重原則，最拿手是監察批評別人。聰明星和原則星在一起，就很有分析能力。不過聰明和原則都純屬腦部活動，有智慧欠實踐。機梁組合影響下，明明一定聰明好分析，但喜歡講不喜歡做（大可自己講，叫別人去做）！

太陽巨門大眾傳播

明明的事業宮頗靚，主星太陽和巨門。前文講過太陽的無私奉獻，只是性質之一。太陽也代表發放和群眾，而巨門則代表口舌，兩星在一起就變成「大眾傳播」。這裏說的大眾傳播，並不限於傳媒，凡是要向一群人演說的也算：包括律師、教師等。明明的太陽化了祿，加了利益，對面宮位有祿存星，代表金錢財物，加上走動的天馬星，放在一起就有運財的意思。三方見齊一對三台八座的地位星。富貴地位都會有，尤其是做大眾傳播工作。

競爭對手看兄弟宮

先講大限和流年。大限是十年，每十年走命盤一格，由虛齡或年分標記。流年每一年一格，盤內十二格的地支：子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戍亥，分別代表流年生肖的鼠牛虎兔龍蛇馬羊猴雞狗豬。命盤裏標記着由命宮開始的十二宮，是代表一生的。縮小範圍看大限，大限的人事宮位得隨大限命宮移動，定規是，由命宮開始順時鐘依次是父母、福德、田宅、事業、交友、遷移、疾厄、財帛、子女、夫妻、兄弟。流年如此類推。明明2005年選港姐，大限命宮本來很好，但在這限對面的太陽化了忌，多了挑戰。大限兄弟宮強勁組合：火貪，武曲化權化科，貴人天魁天鉞一對，三台八座夾。平輩同性對手很強。2005乙酉流年，組合麻麻，但廉貞破軍化了祿權，又好一些，不過同宮有兩煞星，擎羊星明爭，鈴星暗鬥，而鈴星另有冷的意思。流年兄弟宮和流年命宮相比之下，兄弟宮略為穩定。所以明明雖然熱門，結果還是三甲不入。

Speak up against the odds

Natalie Wong

THE YOUNG REPORTER (TYR)

http://journalism.hkbu.edu.hk/tyr/

Department of Journalism

School of Communication

Hong Kong Baptist University

Bringing glamorous revenue or glory to TVB, the largest local television broadcaster, may be the goal for many of its artists, but a former Miss Hong Kong contestant chose to expose its dark side that the other 4,000 staff members dare not to touch on.

TVB's senior executives considered the young lady a threat to their corporate image as she “talked too much” publicly. One of the incidents triggering the termination of her contract with TVB took place when she offended them by opposing a “hidden guideline” for local artists – to behave politically correct, which means “to secure your job, say nothing about politics and religion.”

That might be the reason why, as she says, audience could always see celebrities strolling around in charity events but seldom see their faces in political activities.

“Those stars are proud of being a member of Hong Kong's entertainment industry but when asked if there are any constructive ways to contribute to Hong Kong, they could hardly utter a word.” She says eloquently. She looks smashing and confident in her casual jeans.

She soon left TVB with no regret and now she is a model, an actress, an online radio host, and a popular blogger. With her outspoken personality, people started to remember her name – Erica Yuen Mi-ming.

Recently, the 28-year-old lady has further steered her career towards a more provocative area – the political arena.

She was the first artist appearing as a political commentator in a news and political commentary programme of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) called Pentaprism II, in which she commented on taxi fare increase and the Chief Executive's blunders in the two episodes shown in November and December last year.

She recalled that Tse Chi-fung, the producer of the programme, approached her after she expressed her views on the floor of the City Forum held in Victoria Park in October, criticizing Liberal Party's policy on employment.

“I believe RTHK employed me partly because I am a celebrity, having high publicity among citizens.” Another reason may attribute to her critical mind and sharp opinions, which have attracted viewership by the tens of thousands on Youtube.

She says she learnt to think critically and cry out against injustice when she was in St Stephen’s College. “My parents divorced when I was young. I was then sent to a boarding school since nobody had the time to take care of me as my Dad was travelling around for business.”

Ms Yuen then gained a degree at Tufts University in the US in 2003 majoring in economics. After that, she worked at a large business company in Hong Kong for a year and decided to take part in the beauty contest.

As “the pursuit of fame and wealth” remains a stereotyped image of showbiz, she admitted that her decision to enter the entertainment business was a hard one for her father and friends to accept until she started to write as a newspaper columnist and published a book. “They know I am not those gold-digging public figures after reading my articles, “she says relieved.

Whenever she has a chance to give comment in the public, she would first analyze the news and sometimes asks for more information from Lion Rock Institute, a Hong Kong based think tank she belongs to that promotes free market based public policy solutions where some members are columnists and editorial writers of Apple Daily such as Simon Lee Chao-fu. Her views are based on the principle of supporting democracy and free market policies.

Among the million types of flamboyant women on the planet, Ms Yuen and Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher may be categorised in the same group as their outspoken characters coincide.

Thatcher once said, “I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.”

Ms Yuen openly traded biting remarks with seasoned political commentator Albert Cheng Jing-han, nicknamed Taipan, over controversies in “Sunday Taipan”, a political commentary talk-show of NOW TV.

Sparkle is important in a talk-show. Partnering with Taipan, Ms Yuen says that it was “an exciting task as there are usually no scripts, no standard quotes.”

“I think Taipan wishes to mirror David Letterman in the style of hosting, but it's still a long way to work out an efficient approach.” She adds referring to Letterman, a world class talk-show host in America, who has won consecutive six Emmy Awards of the CBS show‘Late Show with David Letterman’.

Being green in politics, she says she is not qualified yet to occupy key positions in social advocacy. She also says that it is more challenging for her to be persuasive as the audiences know her showbiz background.

Yet, as an artist who has been frequently featured in Hong Kong’s tabloid magazines, she fits perfectly to “bust the bad guys” and tries to set the local entertainment business on “a more righteous footing” as she says.

She frequently uploads to her three blogs to express her viewpoints. One of her blog posts analysing the so-called “scandals” in local tabloid magazines has been translated into English and posted on EastSouthWestNorth, an English-language Web log that dealing with Chinese politics and media that is arguably the “most content-rich, reliable and illuminating,” according to a Reuters reporter.

Netizens respond powerfully and enthusiastically to her often sarcastic comments. Some agree with her, some admire her, some rebuke her and some even curse her. She says, “I am grateful to all interactions we have. They help me explore what human nature is.”

In 2006, her onslaught against female pop singer Stephy Tang’s practice of judging the quality of a book by just glancing over a few pages was quoted by Apple Daily as the day’s entertainment news headline. In a single day, her web-journal attracted about 300,000 hit counts. “Stephy is really popular I would say,” she says grinning with her eyebrow raised.

There are many reasons why young women participate in the Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant. Some may see it as a step up the career ladder, others as a way to become a Hollywood star. For Ms Yuen, it is a way to “let her voice be heard” as she says.

“So many behaviours in the showbiz industry are away from fairness. A lot of so-called ‘super stars’ are ‘privately’ outspoken. They grumble in their peer circle but never say it out loud. So the problem is never solved. If they’re victims, they will always be victims,” she says boldly.

She condemns the recent scandal over ten female artists in TVB concealed the identity of the offender after being sexually harassed.

However, she admits she had lost numerous commercial contracts as the clients disliked her blunt criticism. She insisted, “I will not alter my character to please anyone as long as I believe expressing overtly is worth doing.”

Talking about her future plans, the petite, feisty lady has big ambitions. Starting up a skin-care business, teaching investment strategies, producing TV shows, setting up a new political party and running for the next Legislative Council are all possibilities.

For such kind of person who is always going beyond limitations, she is capable in surprising ways to “let her voice be heard” in the future.
