UBC Research

OH!, so UBC is what a great business!

finally I know its background after a whole day researching.

Union Bank of Switzerland, which owns numerous finincial service such as wealth managment, investment banking & securities management, and asset management service, etc, hired over 70,000 employees over 32 countries around the world. it's a leading global enterprise.
There also have a branch office in Taipei, located in 7, shon-san road, responsible for equitis, securities, and other financial consulting business.

I learnd so many specialized word within this work and realized that there are always something I never heard and used, waiting for our disclosure. you spend more time and effort on it, you learn more.
example:
hedge fund: it is a historical error to use the word "hedge" because it does not have the risk-off function when operating, contrarily, it is benifit-oriented and much risky.
in Chinese, it is named 對沖基金, or 避險基金, it's really interesting.

example2:
asset-back securities:資產基礎證券, or 資產擔保證券....well, actually i don't know how to explain it in english so far.. :p.

還願獎學金

不知道「還願獎學金」的英文要怎麼寫比較對.?
incentive fund of dream ?

今天看email(每週的清華新聞），看到今年開始有新的獎學金發放受理，只要是清華的學生，不限次數，不限定金額，也不要求特定優異成績，無條件的提供清寒學生申請。只註明：希望將來學業有成，可以用還願的心態，依自身能力回饋給學校。

看完很感動
it's really a compassionate kindness.
wish it will encourage more and more students to be positive and active.

sincerely.

CNN v.s. Taiwan News

What we can see in CNN News :
global news, like lives of Iran, civil war in Syria, UN wars against Iraq, disaster in south Asia...
new science found, such as stem-cell research, pluto & solar system...

What we can see in Taiwan News :
domestic political battle, protest, fighting.
private news of politician, stars, even non-famous people only because it's "news".
advetising news.
news except healthy and postive...

such a developing "country"!

Sick!

I found it could be a serious pain inside me!

Boring.
but i can't be interested from any of advertisement on internet,
because i know it's not real!
To realize more, to fell bored more...

commercial, virtual, unattachable, ... all this thought went around in my brain. kill all of my innocent spirit at a time.

i can help others to solve their problems. i can provide many kinds of solution to them but i can not help myself against this problem,..

so painful.
it's one of consultant's challenge?

雪山隧道

塞車只要半小時 雪山隧高溫50℃(很重要!!一定要看!)

雪山隧道兩端，頭城海拔44公尺，坪林208公尺，13公里間平均坡度1.25%，不過中間許多段是平的，所以有些路段的坡度是3%，和中山高泰山到林口那一段接近。
所以雪山隧道最麻煩的，是塞車時的通風問題」，台大應力所教授陳發林解釋，大車爬坡慢，在隧道停留時間長，而且上坡時就算猛催油門，引擎也轉不快，卻會造成燃料 燃燒不完全、增加廢氣量，因此從頭城到坪林（上坡車道）的空氣品質相對不好。

陳發林曾在國道三號長1.8公里的福德隧道做過研究，發現只要車流還算順暢，不論車流量如何，隧道內一氧化碳濃度都不到 10ppm，離北宜高設定的75ppm差很遠而「活塞效應」造成的風速，在車流較多時都超過4公尺／每秒（m／s），足以將隧道內的廢氣排出。一般微風約為2m/s，4m/s的風吹得會讓人頭痛。

躲車上開冷氣30分鐘會昏倒 國工局考慮 規定熄火等待但若碰上塞車就麻煩了。

陳發林 表示，雪山隧道為單向雙線道，橫斷面比三線道小很多，萬一兩條車道都被貨櫃車或大客車占住，就等於把隧道斷面擋住一大半，風機再多也吹不動。

雪山隧道 的長度，即使沒有大車擋住隧道斷面，隧道內只要發生擦撞小事故，塞住半個隧道，即使風機全開，只要半小時，隧道內溫度就會上升到攝氏50度，空氣汙 濁程度升高，人會有生命危險；過去曾有機車騎士在800公尺長的台北市辛亥隧道塞車10分鐘就昏倒，即 使躲在汽車內開冷氣，估計也只要半小時就會昏過去。

國工局三區工程處機 電主任楊振 忠說，雪隧為了預防這種情形?
只要塞車就會管制後車進入，並將對向車道撥出一 條車道，讓塞車車流經過橫坑轉由對向車道出去。楊振忠說，有些國家規定碰到塞車時，隧道內車輛必須熄火等待，以免溫度持續上升、廢氣一直增加，國內考慮未來增加類似規定。

陳發林建議，萬一雪山隧道真的塞車，民眾感到頭暈，就該棄車步行，利用每350公尺就有一個的人孔，躲到導坑呼吸新鮮空氣，等廣播狀況解除再開車。
