The afternoon of November 30， Alipay announced to launch the solutions for tourism secured In the future， consumers can truly pay the tourisom after having tourism Prior to this，if tourists want to spend money on the network， often faced with many problems，such as shoddy version， long-time rights litigations， high cost， difficulty to All these limitations of online tourism consumption hinder tourism from Can tourism consumers have a travel first ， then confirm to pay if they feel satisfy after all? In this regard，Alipay gives a positive Accordingly， I think， although e-commerce and online consumption have been accepted by more and more people， a large part of the tourism products are virtual services and products， they are not storable， and they are invisible， non-metastatic， Once the tourists purchased travel products online， they have to face all the risks mentioned As a result， tourists’s desire for consumption online will be restrained， and also have a negative impact of tourist industry and e- By this token ， travel security products launched by Alipay will promote the transaction online in CAnd， We have reason to believe that tourism consumption online will be more and more normative through the efforts of related Pope meets Bush， greets crowdsWASHINGTON — Greeted by a crowd of thousands roaring with cheers， playing music and waving flags and banners， Pope Benedict XVI left the White House on Wednesday after meeting with President Bush on the pontiff's The pope waved to people from inside the "Popemobile，" at times leaning toward the windows to get a better look at the Security officers jogged alongside the vehicle as it moved down Massachusetts Avenue toward the Vatican Embassy on a glorious sunny day in the nation's He walked inside the embassy amid cheers for a luncheon in his Later， in an evening speech to the bishops — the face of the church and the life of everyday Catholics — the pope was expected to touch on the major themes of his visit， including combating secularism， promoting Catholic identity and confronting the lingering impact of the sexual abuse crisisNew apartment and office developments in Japan flaunt their seismic resistance as a marketing technique， a fact that has accelerated the use of the latest technologies， said Ronald O Hamburger， a structural engineer in the civil engineering society and Simpson Gumpertz & Heger， a San Francisco engineering “You can increase the rents by providing a sort of warranty — „If you locate here you‟ll be safe，‟ ” M Hamburger Although many older buildings in Japan have been retrofitted with new bracing since the Kobe quake， there are many rural residences of older construction that are made of very light wood that would be highly vulnerable to The fate of many of those residences is still M Miyamoto， the Japanese engineer， described a nation in chaos as the quake also damaged or disabled many elements of the transportation He said that he and his family were on a train near the Ikebukuro station when the earthquake Writing at 130 ， he said that “we are still not far from where the train ” “Japan Railway actually closed down the stations and sent out all commuters into the cold night，” he “They announced that they are concerned about structural Continuous aftershocks make me feel like car sickness as my family and I walk on the train ” James Glanz reported from New York， and Norimitsu Onishi from Jakarta， I 译文：2011年4月11日消息 日本严格的建筑规范拯救生命 JAMES GLANZ NORIMITSU ONISHI 隐藏在高层建筑的骨骼，额外的钢支撑、巨大的橡胶垫和嵌入式现代液压减振器，使日本的现代建筑，在世界上一个大地震期间的显得异常坚固。所有沿日本海岸，海啸警告标志，高耸的海堤和标记以及逃生路线提供了一些保护的水墙。 随着地震和海啸演习是每个日本公民的日常，这些预防措施，说明了为什么日本是世界上最好的已做好了预防地震和海啸这双重灾难的国家，——这无疑是挽救生命的做法，虽然最终的死亡人数未知。 在地震发生频率比美国更频繁的日本，建筑规范在一些特殊项目中更加严格，例如多少级的地震可以使得建筑物可以摇晃。 1995年神户地震后，造成大约6000人死亡、26000人受伤，日本也将进入一个研究大量保护结构资源的新时期，如同国家老龄化和结构的问题。日本已经花费了数十亿美元发展最先进的技术对抗地震和海啸。 日本在被称为基础隔震垫和耗能单位的新建筑与先进设备在抑制地震中的作用方面已远远超越美国。 隔离装置本质上都是大的钢筋橡胶垫，安装在建筑物底部，然后在垫子上安装橡胶和钢垫。耗散单位建成建筑物的结构骨架。他们是液压缸，在建筑物摇晃时拉长和合同，削弱运动能量。 当然，没有什么是完全可靠的。结构工程师监控事件从一个距离警告说，死亡人数还可能会继续上升，成为更多的信息。这次灾难的录像似乎显示一些旧建筑物倒塌确实。伯克利，加利福尼亚大学的结构工程师杰克*穆赫博士说，灾难视频似乎表明，一些老建筑已经倒塌。 这个国家向世界展示“海啸”这个词，特别是在1980年代和1990年代，在许多地区建造了混凝土海堤，一些高达40英尺，达到了海啸在在海面上的第一层高度。一些沿海的小镇，在地震发生时，传感器网络的建立是为了向个人住宅发出了警报以及自动关闭闸门以阻挡汹涌的巨浪。 海堤批评者说他们的不美观，并且对环境有害。对于海塘，他们说，可以向沿海的居民灌输一种虚假的安全感，并阻止他们参加定期疏散演习。 从上周五的海啸波洒在一些受灾地区的海堤。 “海啸在仙台市呼啸而过，淹埋汽车，房屋和内陆农场的基础设备，”根据由日本工程师Kit Miyamoto，通过美国土木工程师学会发表的声明。“火焰从一些的房子冒出，可能是因为煤气管道爆裂。 退休的海啸防备专家艾斯纳，于星期五参加位于马里兰州的盖瑟斯堡的国家标准与技术研究院局举行的会议时说，但是日本的“大规模公共教育计划”可能最终挽救最多的生命。 艾斯纳先生说， 1960年，这是一大海啸袭击的Ofunato小镇，很多迹象用日文和英文标注的逃生路线，紧急警报器的迹象是一天测试三次。 上周五Ofunato初步报告表明，数百间房屋被洪水冲走，死亡人数尚不清楚。 URS公司和土木工程学会的海啸小组委员会的成员Matthew Francis说，教育可 能是关键的因素。 弗兰西斯先生说：“对于一个训练有素的人群，约5或10分钟，你就足够可能去到高地，”。 相反的许多经验不足的东南亚国家，其中许多人因为他们在海岸附近而死在了2004的印度洋海啸中。日本新闻媒体的报道表明，原本在偏远地区失踪上市的人已经转向了在学校和社区中心，表明海啸教育和疏散演练，确实有效。 与海地不同，在去年，劣质建筑大大增加死亡人数，或者中国2008四川大地震，因为没有遵循施工规范而恶化死亡人数，日本实施了世界上最严格的建筑规范。工程师穆赫伯克利先生说，相比类似结构的地震多发区加利福利亚，日本建筑往往是更坚硬更牢固的，在大地震中，日本建筑大约有一半之多在一个高层的顶部来回摇摆。 穆赫先生说，差异在于，因为美国标准的重点是防止崩溃，而在日本——伴随更多的地震——目的是为了防止建筑物因为摇摆而受到重大破坏。 来自土木工程学会与来自San Francisco Simpson的 Gumpertz & Heger技术公司的 Ronald O Hamburger说，新公寓和办公的发展，在日本标榜他们的抗震性来作为一种营销技术，加快了最新技术的使用，。 “您可以通过提供担保，增加租金 ——如果在这里找到你会安全“”Ronald O Hamburger先生说。 虽然日本神户许多老建筑已安装的新支撑，但有许多农村旧建筑的住宅，材料是很轻的木材，将极易受到损坏。许多住宅的命运来仍是未知数。 日本工程师宫本先生表示，一个名族在例如地震的混乱中，还会损坏或停用运输系统的许多方面。他说，他和他的家人地震发生时在池袋站附近的列车上。写在早上，他说：“我们仍然没有远离列车停的地方。” “日本铁路实际上是在寒冷的夜晚关闭站和疏通所有乘客，”他说，“他们宣布，他们所关心的结构安全。持续的余震让我感到晕车，我的家人和我走在火车轨道上。”。JAMES GLANZ从纽约，与Norimitsu Onishi从印度尼西亚的雅加达，发回的报道。我是学姐，这样行吗
