    关于汉莎等航空公司的集体诉讼

    概述

    如果您曾于 2000 年 1 月 1 日 到 2006 年 9 月 11 日期间购买过美国或加拿大境内或发运地/目的地为美国或加拿大的航空货运服务,则您的权利可能会受到一项或多项集体诉讼和解方案的影响。如果您曾向任何航空货运公司购买过美国或加拿大境内或发运地/目的为美国或加拿大的航空货运服务,您即为集体诉讼成员之一。航空货运服务还包括通过货运代理商购买的服务。当事人分别在美国和加拿大进行和解。您可能同属于两个和解集体。

    这些和解将解决一部分美国和加拿大的相关诉讼。在诉讼中,原告指控 Deutsche Lufthansa AG、Lufthansa Cargo AG 和 Swiss International Air Lines Ltd.(统称为“Lufthansa”)以及其他诸多航空货运公司合谋操纵航空货运服务价格,违反了美国反垄断法和加拿大竞争法。原告称,由于被告的上述行为,使原告与其他集体成员额外支出了航空货运服务费。若达成和解,Lufthansa 将不承认其参与了本次诉讼指控的非法行为;如果诉讼继续进行,Lufthansa 将对原告的索赔提出若干抗辩。但是,Lufthansa 已同意达成和解,以避免进一步诉讼产生的开支、负担和风险,并与其重要业务客户结束这一争议。

    为解决向 Lufthansa 提出的美国境内或发运地/目的地为美国的航空货运服务索赔,Lufthansa 已同意为有效的集体成员索赔支付 8500 万美元,并同意协助原告向其他未参与美国和解的被告提起索赔诉讼。为解决向 Lufthansa 提出的加拿大境内或发运地/目的地为加拿大的航空货运服务索赔,Lufthansa 已同意支付 533.8 万美元的加拿大和解金,加拿大集体律师将要求以信托方式持有这项和解金,以维护加拿大集体的将来利益。

    以上仅为概要信息。请查阅《通告》,详细了解有关集体成员的资格、和解金的分配、如何在美国和解中提出索赔、集体成员的选择权、采取措施的截止期限以及最终批准听证会的地点等其他重要信息。

    Overview

    If you purchased air cargo shipping services within, to or from either the United States or Canada from January 1, 2000 to September 11, 2006, your rights could be affected by one or more proposed class action settlements. You are a Class Member if you purchased air cargo shipping services, from ANY air cargo carrier, for shipments within, to, or from either the United States or Canada. This includes services purchased through freight forwarders. There are separate settlements in the United States and Canada. You may be a Class Member in both settlements.

    The settlements would partially resolve lawsuits in the United States and Canada. In the lawsuits, Plaintiffs allege that Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Lufthansa Cargo AG, and Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. ("Lufthansa"), along with numerous other air cargo carriers, conspired to fix the prices of airfreight cargo shipping services in violation of U.S. antitrust law and Canadian competition law. As a result of this alleged conduct, Plaintiffs allege that they and other members of the Class paid more for airfreight cargo shipping services than they would have paid in the absence of this alleged conduct. By entering into the settlements, Lufthansa does not admit that it engaged in the unlawful conduct alleged and would assert a number of defenses to the Plaintiffs' claims if the litigation were to proceed further. However, Lufthansa has agreed to enter into the settlements in order to avoid the expense, burdens, and risks of further litigation, and to put to rest this controversy with its valued business customers.

    To resolve the claims against it concerning airfreight cargo shipping services within, to, or from the United States, Lufthansa has agreed to pay $85 million for valid Class Member claims and to cooperate in the prosecution of claims against the remaining Defendants who are not part of the U.S. settlement. To resolve the claims against Lufthansa concerning airfreight cargo shipping services within, to, or from Canada, Lufthansa has agreed to pay $5,338,000 USD into a Canadian Fund that Canadian Class Counsel will request to be held in trust for the future benefit of the Canadian Classes.

    THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY A SUMMARY. For more details, including who is and is not a Class Member, the distribution of the Settlement Fund and how to file a claim in the U.S. Settlement, Class Member options and deadlines to act, the locations of Final Approval Hearings, and other important information, please review the Notice.

    最后一课

    美国卡内基—梅隆大学计算机科学教授兰迪·保施7月25日在家中去世,年仅47岁。保施于2007年8月被确诊患有胰腺癌,此后不久的2007年9月18日,他走上讲台,上了自己生命中的最后一堂课。演讲中,身患绝症的保施鼓励听众珍惜时间、追寻梦想。这一鼓舞人心的演讲让他成为《时代》杂志世界最有影响的100人之一。这是保施(右)在完成他的动人演讲“最后一课”后接受他以前在布朗大学的导师安迪的亲吻。 新华社/路透
    ==================================
     最后一课
    标签:生命 精彩 眼界 境界 心态 | 
            说起“最后一课”,马上会联想到都德的经典《最后一课》,那庄重的韩麦尔先生,窗外操练的普鲁士士兵,贪玩的小弗郎士,那些被剥夺了文化继承的法兰西人等都活灵活现的浓缩在那个短篇小说里面。
       
            而这里所讲的“最后一课”,是来自兰迪·弗雷德里克·波许(Randy Frederick Pausch)生命最后时刻的精彩经历。他是美国卡内基梅隆大学的计算机科学、人机交互及设计教授,2006年9月,他被诊断患有胰腺癌,尽管进行了手术和化疗,但还是在2007年8月被告知癌细胞已经转移至肝臟及脾脏,至多可以再存活3到6个月。
       
            美国很多高校在资深教授退休前都会为他们安排讲授一堂面向全校学生的“最后一课”,来表达学校师生对其的崇敬和感激,让教授为自己的教学生涯划上一个完美的句号。
       
            一个被宣判了死期的人,会用什么样的态度,来演绎生命中的《最后一课》呢?
       
            2007年9月18日兰迪做了题为“真正实现你的童年梦想”的最后一课,
       
            2007年9月21日,兰迪被ABC世界新闻列为“本周人物”,他也得到了国际媒体的关注。“最后一课”视频成了互联网上的热点,在发布一个月内被收看超过一百万次,他出版的《最后一课》一书则成为当前亚马逊网站上最为畅销的书籍之一。
       
             生命原来可以这样精彩,而其精彩的程度无非来源于自身的眼界、境界和心态。

    学了个新词“打酱油”

      广州电视台采访一位市民,问他对于很黄很暴力XX门的看法,这位市民说:关我鸟事,我出来买酱油的,这句话也因此流传开来 ,各种PS和改编风靡一时。由此“酱油男”一词在网路成为笑谈,甚至派生出了酱油族等网络用语。现在喻指网络上不谈政治,不谈敏感话题,就用此话回帖而已。
    改编:"打酱油"十国语言版
      关我什么事, 我来打酱油 之十国语言版汉语:关我什么事, 我来打酱油。
      英语:It's none of my business , I come to buy some sauce。
      德语:Ich bezogen, was ich kam zu einer Soja-Soße
      法语:Je liés ce qui, j'en suis arrivé à une sauce de soja
      荷兰语:Ik gerelateerd wat, kwam ik tot een sojasaus
      俄语:Я, касающихся того, что я пришел к соевым соусом
      西班牙语:Relacionados con lo que yo, me vino a un salsa de soja
      意大利语:I relativi cosa, sono venuto a una salsa di soia
      日语:私関连したどのような、私がして醤油
      韩语:관련 무엇 나는, 여기에 간장을
          希腊语:I σχετικές τι, ήρθα σε μια σάλτσα σόγιας

    Li Lei&Han Meimei集体大猜想

    ★Poly
    我现在工作的地方是外企,员工要起英文名字,有个女同事取名为Polly,我听了很晕。没办法,第一印象太深刻了,觉得叫Polly的就是鹦鹉。
    ★And you?
    “Fine,thank you.And you?” “I'm fine too.”
    受这句毒害,以后每次有人问“How are you”的时候,全班甚至全校,不管是在什么场合,有多少人,总是会异口同声地说,
    fine thank you,and you?
    ★四角恋
    Li Lei喜欢 Han Meimei,Jim也喜欢Han Meimei,但是Lucy喜欢Li Lei。
    我的证据是有一课:“Can I borrow your ruler?”
    Han Meimei和Li Lei坐在第一排,Han Meimei问LiLei借尺子,Jim在后面看着他们,眼神十分诡异,夹杂着嫉妒、羡慕、阴险。他旁边坐着Lucy,低着头。我当时觉得是因为Lucy不愿意看到面前的这一幕,因为是女生,不可能像Jim这么感情外露的,所以委屈地低下头。
    ★克隆体
    Jim Green和Kate Green并不是兄妹,Jim和Kate是Green夫妇的克隆体。而Green夫妇的本名叫Rotman Golden和Ishy Loberty,是大不列颠秘密生命体克隆试验室(GBMLEL)的高级主管。Golden夫妇因为支持人类克隆的合法化而被世界上三十多个国家驱逐,然后又以 Mr.Green和Mrs.Green的身份潜入中国,寻求中国政府的支持。
    ★后来
        后来,HanMeimei当然没嫁给LiLei,她离了一次婚,成了一个文风忧郁的女作家,笔名寒寐,足不出户,却在网络上颇受欢迎。
        后来,LiLei当然也没娶HanMeimei,成了李老师,他在中学教语文,不过他还是很开朗。
        后来,Lucy回国了,现在也没有结婚,但还是善良而且喜欢音乐,她现在是幼儿园的园长,有时也给孩子们上音乐课。
        后来,Jim还留在北京,成了道奇汽车公司的经理,他也真的追过HanMeimei,但没有成功,找了一个中国太太,婚后有了两个孩子,发胖了。
        后来,Lily成了电台的编辑,也做业务策划,为保持身体,她不吃冰淇淋了。还有很多很多个男朋友。
        后来,Kate去了上海,嫁了个在此工作的美国人,上个月的事。
        后来,LinTao当了警察,是户籍警,翠微北里。
        后来,UncleWang退休了,还是喜欢鼓捣那些稀奇古怪的东西,上过一次电视。
        后 来 ,L.G.Alexander教授回英国了,已经从出版公司退休,还在写东西,他每年来两次中国。
        现在,Polly还活着,毛掉了一些,每天最大 的 乐 趣 是 与Alexander教授说中文。

    DSV buys ABX Logistics for $1.17b

    Danish transport group DSV has entered into an agreement to take over XB Luxembourg Holdings, the mother company of ABX Logistics Worldwide, for US$1.17 billion.

    The acquisition would strengthen the group's road activities, particularly in Italy, Germany, France and Spain.

    “The match between the two companies is nearly ideal, both geographically and in terms of the activities. ABX has in a number of years been on top of the list of potential merging partners,’’ said CEO of DSV, Kurt Larsen.

    The agreement had been entered into with 3i Group Plc and 3i Funds, the management of ABX Logistics and other shareholders.

    In 2007, DSV and ABX Logistics had a combined pro forma turnover of about $10.14 billion and some 25,000 employees. Their combined transport networks covered over 60 countries.

    The Danish group said it would buy XB Luxembourg Holdings on a debt-free basis, and finance the acquisition through a bridge loan facility.

    The acquisition is expected to go though in the third quarter of this year, and is dependent on acceptance from the relevant competition authorities.
