Radiobeta 提供全球范围的电台服务，可在线收听广播，所收录的电台数量极其庞大！

似乎广播里我们有些遥远了，除了开车时听听当地的电台，我好像从来想不起来还有广播可以消遣。不知道大家的情况怎样？不管怎样，推荐给大家一个非常棒的全球电台服务：Radiobeta，它提供了全世界众多的电台节目，可以在线收听，或创建自己的播放列表。收录的电台主要集中在欧美国家，不过我们中国也收录了50多个电台，主要来自北京、上海和香港，提供中文广播节目！Radiobeta 提供了多种电台搜索方式，可以很方便的找到自己需要的电台，比如区域搜索、流派搜索、语言搜索、快速搜索等。

庞大的电台数量是Radiobeta 最大的特色，中国也收录了50多个电台。我想，用Radiobeta 学英语、提高英语会是非常不错的方法！

 

广播似乎越来越被人们忽视，取而代替的是网络、电视，还记得大学时分，广播带给我们多少快乐！！谨以此文献给渐渐淡忘的广播服务。

CNNIC互联网发展研究部高级研究顾问   王恩海

 

【笔者按】笔者曾在近期写了两篇中美互联网方面的比较（中美网民网络接入方式比较、中美互联网的城乡差距比较），在读者留言中，很多人提到更重要的要看网络应用方面的比较。诚然，互联网最大的价值就是应用，特撰本文以资读者。

    根据CNNIC 2008年7月发布的报告显示，我国网民使用率最高的前6项网络应用是网络音乐、网络新闻、即时通信、网络视频、搜索引擎和电子邮件；而美国网民使用的前6项应用则是电子邮件、搜索引擎、查看天气报道、网络新闻、网络购物和政府网站访问，见下图，两国网民在网络应用上的区别非常明显。目前阶段中国网民更多的是网上娱乐，而美国网民则更倾向于网上办事。显然，互联网的价值在美国体现的更大，也就是互联网对美国社会的作用也就更大。这是互联网发展到较高阶段所产生的必然结果。

 

注1：美国数据来源：www.pewinternet.org，2008年7月；

注2：中国数据来源：CNNIC；2008年7月，但政府网站访问比例为2007年底数据。

    上图中参差不齐的数据柱子，在包含了丰富内容的同时，也带来了很多的问号，也说明了很多问题。在此，笔者只从中摘取有关电子政务和电子商务的两组数据加以分析说明。

    1、为什么美国政府网站的访问率与中国差距如此大？首先是政府网站的宣传和知名度不同。目前很多中国网民不知道政府网站上有什么服务，甚至很多人都不知道当地的政府网站。再次是政府网站建设的质量和办事的便捷程度不同。目前中国很多政府网站上提供的信息公开、信息互动等服务存在信息量少、更新不及时、基本无互动等问题，而在线办事服务则更是少之又少。在这种情况下，即使网民知道这些政府网站，也不愿意去访问。由此可见，中国的电子政务要想走得更远，就必须从宣传开始，逐步培养网民的电子政务意识，同时以丰富完善、及时高效的政府网站功能来吸引网民。否则单凭政府的一腔热情，投入不少，见效却不大。

    2、为什么美国网民网络购物比例这么高？网络购物是电子商务的一部分，美国网民尝到了网络购物带来的便利和快捷，并在物流、物品质量、物价、网上支付、信用体系等方面有全面的控制和保障措施，因此他们对网络购物的担心和抱怨就比中国少得多。中国缺少的正是这种综合的电子商务发展良好环境。这样带来的效果也大相径庭，以B2C为例，美国2007年B2C销售额约达1750亿美元（不含旅游类），而同期中国却只有不足50亿人民币。

    差距固然存在，但亦是必然，这是互联网发展过程中必须经过的阶段。这些差距的缩小，要依赖于国家发展水平、人口素质、互联网政策、技术等多方面的共同发展，需要加以时日。我们不能期待中国互联网能用14年的发展历史达到美国30多年的发展水平，我们目前能做的只能是以满腔的热情投入到推动我国互联网发展的滚滚大潮中。

CR Land Guanganmen Green Technology Showroom / Vector Architecture

via Arch Daily by Nico Saieh on 12/3/08

Architect: Vector Architecture
Location: Beijing, China
Project Year: 2008
Client: CR Land
Design Partner in Charge: Gong Dong
Managing Partner in Charge: Hongyu Zhang
Project Architect: Shuo Li
Site Area: 500 sqm
Photographs: Vector Architecture

Design Concept:

The project is a "temporary" Green Technology Showroom of 3-year use for one of CR Land's (华润置地) residential projects in Beijing. The idea is to develop the concept of "Temporary" from a meaningful perspective, to design a piece of floating "installation" in the garden, which could be built, demolished, and recycled through an easy and straightforward way with the least impact to the planned site.

Sustainable Features:

Site Selection

We are involved into the project at early stage when client tried to specify the building footprint within the residential compound. The location was finalized at the central lawn, where we believe in that:

1. the minimal impact of the designed landscape construction
2. the minimal impact of planned pedestrian circulation
3. Easy Demolition and Site recovery after use

Structure System Selection

We used the steel structure as the main structural system of the building, therefore,

1. The structural member can be reused after building is eventually taken down.
2. Overlap the structural member factory fabrication time with the site excavation, thus minimizing the construction schedule.
3. The building is elevated, greatly reducing the excavation and foundation work, thus allowing easy demolition and site recovery after use
Building Envelope: Vertical Grass Wall Paneling system and Green Roof

We apply the vertical grass panel system and green roof onto the building envelop,

1. Reduce the heat gain and loss and enhance the thermal efficiency.
2. The grass panels will reduce storm water runoff.
3. Although the central lawn is taken away to make room for this building, but we effectively tripled the original planting area by using the grass panels on the roof and two facades.
4. Grass wall panel is planned to be relocated onto the partial fence of the residential compound after demolition.
5. Visually harmonize the temporary structure with the existing garden and the so called "Classic Spanish" Style

A pegada é velha., Todo jornal que se preze já teve uma campanha do tipo "a gente vai mais fundo", "mostra o que os outros não mostram" ou coisa que se preze. Mas a realização desse aqui ficou bem interessante. Deve ser o tal do stopping power que o povo tanto fala em reuniões. Criação da Advico Young & Rubicam da Suiça.

OUTrial House / KWK PROMES

via Arch Daily by Nico Saieh on 11/14/08

Architects: KWK PROMES
Location: Ksiazenice, Poland
Project Architect: Robert Konieczny
Collaborator: Marcin Jojko
Structural Engineer: Jaroslaw Kaminski
Design Year: 2004
Construction Year: 2005-2007
Site Area: 1,440 sqm
Constructed Area: 180 sqm
Photographs: KWK PROMES

A green clearing surrounded by forest was the only context for the proposed small house. Hence the idea to "carve out" a piece of the grass-covered site, move it up and treat it as the roofing to arrange all the required functions underneath. When the whole was ready, the client came up with another request, to create some space for a small recording studio and a conservatory. The latter was obtained by linking the ground floor with the grassy roof through an "incision" in the green plane and "bending" the incised fragment down, inside the building.

This procedure turned the roof into an atrium, as the only way to reach it was through the interior of the house. As opposed, however, to a typical atrium, the newly-created space has all the advantages of an outer garden while remaining a safe, internal zone within the building.

This way, a new type of house was created, and its designation - outrial - is to convey the idea of an atypical atrium which is part of both the interior and the exterior of the building.

The studio was created in a similar way as the conservatory, but in order to ensure work comfort for a rock musician, it was isolated from the rest of the house by shifting it upwards.
