Comment by Philip McMaster:
People favourably respond to Change
Generally speaking, people don't change for the better when criticized. But they do respond favourably to praise.
Huaxi Cun is not the worst place in China, and it has been following and sometimes leading the objectives and trends of the government and Chinese people - first it was to get rich - and clean up the mess later. We did this in the West on our own schedule, some Chinese are doing it now under the generally hypocritical pressure of the global community.
人们对改变的有利反应
总体上，当人们受到批评的时候，不会变得更好。但他们受到表扬的时候，总是积极反应。华西村不是中国最差 的地方，它跟从着-有时也领导着中国政府与人民的目标与潮流。这个目标首先是变富，然后再处理垃圾。西方按照自己的日程表也这样做过。现在有些中国人也这 么做，就面临虚伪的国际压力。
An aspirational monument - if you choose to see it that way..
When I was invited to Huaxi Cun for the inauguration of the “Village in the Sky”, (www.tudou.com/programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ ) I spoke of the new tower as a beacon for all to see, not in terms of opulence and excess, but as a towering 3 element "Symbol of Sustainability" - an aspirational symbol rising above all else - including the cookie-cutter villas, the grubby factories, the money focus and the faux world landmarks - to shock and awe viewers into realizing that all monuments have a message – and this one should inspire people to make the connection between Heaven, Earth and the People (Tian, Di, Ren 天地人) and that to achieve Wu Renbao’s “Heaven on Earth”… the Triple-Bottom-Line balance between Society, Environment and Economy （社会,环境,经济）must become Huaxi’s new ethic.
一个振奋人心的里程碑——如果你从另一个角度解读
我应邀了参加华西村“空中新农村大楼”授牌仪式(www.tudou.com /programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ )，当时我谈到这栋大楼并不是炫富和挥霍，而是华西村的一个新地标。比起那些千篇一律的别墅，脏乱差的工厂，一切向钱看的态度和人造世界景观，这栋摩天大 楼是一个振奋人心 里程碑，它作为可持续发展的标志建筑让人感到震撼和心生敬畏，它能让人们感到天地人和谐发展的信息，体现了吴仁宝“人间天堂”的理念。以社会，环境和经济 作为三条支柱，寻求三者的平衡发展是华西村的新理念。

"Now that Huaxi village is rich, what's next?"
Following my presentation, the new building’s architect Ma Xusheng, in turn praised my interpretation of his building’s design, saying that no one had thought of it before, but that “with your new ‘Society, Environment, Economy ‘meaning attached, our building is even richer”.
At a private dinner with village leaders the evening before, I had shamelessly asked: “Now that Huaxi village is rich, what’s next?” – hoping to encourage them to expound on how they were going to share Huaxi’s wealth and expertise with other communities and to build sustainable enterprises based on a model ecological civilisation… however the response was understandable, as a bit more thinking is required; and considering most people’s focus was still on showing off and celebrating what they have achieved so far, the answer was a simple “Gambei!”

“现在华西村富了，接下来呢？”
我的演讲结束后，这栋新大楼的建筑师马旭升（音）反过来称赞了我对他的建筑设计的诠释，说以前从未有人想到这个方面，“加上您说的‘社会、环境、经济’意义后，我们的摩天大楼更加富裕了”。
前一天晚上和华西村领导的聚餐上，我厚着脸皮问了一句：“现在华西村富裕了，接下来呢？”我当时希望他们能够详细阐述下怎样和其他地区分享华西村的 财富和技术，以及在生态文明模型的基础上建立起可持续发展的企业。但是，他们的回答很简单，就是：“干杯！”当然，这是可以理解的，因为回答这个问题需要 一些思考，而且当时大多数人的注意力仍然在炫耀和庆祝他们至今已取得的成就上。

“白求恩”游说三指理念
2014年05月13日 星期二 新京报
分享：
5月6日，宣传自己“三指”理念的加拿大老外“大龙”。
人物简介
大龙 原名菲利普·麦克马斯特，年龄保密，来自加拿大蒙特利尔北部的山区，独立环保人士。因为喜欢中国，他给自己取名大龙。他是电视纪录片白求恩的扮演者，但这只是他中国生活的很小一部分。他还有很多头衔，商务可持续发展麦克马斯特学院的首席研究员及创始人，加拿大蒙特利尔大学HEC商学院MBA教授，香港中文大学MBA教授，中科院客座研究员。
如果有一天，你在街边碰到一个留着大胡子的高鼻梁老外，他或许还穿着一身有点破旧的八路军军装，冲着你伸出三根手指头说“经济社会环境”或“天、地、人”，你可千万别感到意外。和他一起合张影吧，记得以后每次照相时，伸出你的三根手指头，而不是俗套的“剪刀手”，加入大龙的行动一起来保护地球。
为什么是三根指头？大龙掰着食指、中指和无名指，逐个念着“经济、社会、环境”或是“天、地、人”，每一根指头代表其中一个词，只有三者平衡，世界才会可持续发展。他懂的中文不多，这几个词却发音准确，因为常挂嘴边。
多年来，大龙一直致力于可持续发展这一世界性重大课题，发起了世界“和平+1”可持续发展项目。2008年，大龙把自己进行可持续发展事业的办公室设在北京。他相信，中国人有以“天地人和”为基础的传统文化，一旦行动就可改变世界。
“八路”背着公仔宣传公益
初次见到大龙，他背着一个破了口的大包，身穿八路军军装和白裤子，头戴八路军军帽，大把的络腮胡子遮住了他大半个脸。他会先从手机里翻出照片告诉你，他曾在电视里扮演过白求恩。
他会让你注意军帽上排成三角形的三颗黑色小纽扣，这是他接下来要讲的重点。随后，他从包里翻出了“三指理念”的海报和他的小伙伴——两只已经不怎么白的一大一小熊猫公仔和一只肚皮破了线的小黄鸭公仔。熊猫是中国的象征，而鸭子则代表着快乐，缺一不可，它们陪着大龙走过很多地方，已被无数人拥抱过。
熊猫原本胖嘟嘟的上肢，被大龙戴上了白手套，而手套也被做成了三指手势。
大龙喜欢让你抱着熊猫或鸭公仔，和他一起做“三指手势”，大声喊出“天地人和”，如果碰到的是和他一样的老外，他更愿意喊“经济社会环境平衡”，因为西方的文化理解这个口号。他会带着相机，随时随地收集世界各地的人摆出的三指姿势，并在网络上传播和分享。
三指手势又被称为“和平+1”可持续手势。在北京定居的7年里，每结识一个人，大龙都会伸出三个指头，和你聊一聊经济社会环境平衡，他会告诉你，每个人都有责任和义务停止继续污染环境。“我很高兴地看到，许多中国公民付诸行动。”
执着的环保宣传者
大龙说，“三指理念”开始于2006年。那时他正在香港中文大学教授MBA，课程内容是经济、社会和环境。但他发现，很多学生不理解这三个词之间的意义。“我需要去引导他们理解其中的含义，理解三者的平衡。”
大龙研究中国文化，把他的可持续发展理念和中国的传统文化相结合，这样就会更容易让中国人理解。现在的大龙，知道“一生二，二生三、三生万物”，老子、孔子、太极、阴阳平衡不离嘴边。
作为白求恩的扮演者，他把白求恩精神和他的可持续发展理念捆绑在一起，经常在很多场合穿着这身八路军军装出镜。他也和很多明星合影，让明星和他一起摆出三指姿势。
菲利斯在一次活动上认识了大龙，接触多了，菲利斯感受到了大龙做公益环保背后的辛酸。大龙生活简单，经常一天只吃一顿饭，“他没有挣钱的概念，所有心思都在三指项目上，那是他的价值。他的厕所墙壁写满他的计划，房间堆满各种书稿，与他见面聊的都是他的可持续理念。他的执着和乐观超乎常人。”
大龙的周三倡议
为了让大家行动起来，大龙发起周三倡议，周三是每周中间的一天，他希望大家不妨就在这一天做些小小的努力：学会微笑、尝试改变和拔掉插头节约用电。
大龙说，挑选一件事在周三来做一个改变，比如把那些暂时不必被插上的插头一个个拔掉，减少碳排放量。又比如关掉手机三小时，忘记QQ、微信、微博，走出去交朋友。再比如，爱吃肉的你，这一天就吃素吧。“小事情不断重复地做，你就会发现改变。”
当大龙在镜头前摆出他的招牌三指手势时，一旁路过的一对情侣突然停下脚步说，他们认得这个手势，在网上看到过三指理念。http://epaper.bjnews.com.cn/html/2014-05/13/content_511316.htm

Are you looking for the perfect pair of shoes to wear while sailing? If so, you’ve come to the right place! In this article, we will provide a guide on how to choose the best sailing shoes for you. From materials and styles to fit and other factors, we’ll cover all the key points for finding the ideal footwear for your next adventure out on the water. So let's get started!
Introduction
If you're new to sailing, the vast array of shoes on the market can be overwhelming. But don't worry, we're here to help. In this guide, we'll break down the different types of sailing shoes and what to look for when choosing a pair.
There are three main types of sailing shoes: boat shoes, dock shoes, and racing shoes. Boat shoes are designed for deck wear and have non-marking soles to protect your boat's deck from scuffs. Dock shoes are similar to boat shoes but have thinner soles for better traction on slippery surfaces. Racing shoes are designed for speed and have stiffer soles for better grip and support while moving around the boat.
When choosing a pair of sailing shoes, it's important to consider the conditions you'll be sailing in. If you sail in warm weather, you'll want a shoe with good ventilation to keep your feet cool. If you sail in cold weather, you'll want a shoe that's waterproof or has an insulated liner. And if you sail in salt water, you'll want a shoe with good drainage so your feet don't get wet and cold.
Once you've considered the conditions you'll be sailing in, it's time to choose a style. Do you want a classic boat shoe? A modern racing shoe? A slip-on dock shoe? It's up to you! To help narrow down your choices, take a look at our roundup of the best sailing shoes
What to Look For in Sailing Shoes
When choosing the best sailing shoes, there are several things you should consider when joining Sailing Club San Diego. First and foremost, you want to make sure that the shoes you choose are comfortable and fit well. There is nothing worse than being out on the water and having your feet hurt because your shoes are too tight or too loose.
Secondly, you want to make sure that your sailing shoes have good traction. This is important because you don't want to slip and fall while you're out on the water. Even if the weather is calm, the deck of a boat can be slippery when wet. Good traction will help you stay safe while sailing.
Finally, you want to make sure that your sailing shoes are durable. You don't want to have to replace them after just a few uses. Look for shoes that are made from high-quality materials and that are built to last. With proper care, your sailing shoes should last for many seasons of use.
- Types of Soles
Sailing shoes are an important part of your sailing gear, and there are a few different types to choose from depending on your needs. The three main types of sailing shoes are:
1. Deck shoes: These shoes are designed to grip the deck of the boat and provide good traction. They usually have non-marking soles to avoid leaving scuff marks on the deck.
2. Race boots: These sailing shoes are designed for speed and performance, and often have spikes or cleats on the sole for added grip.
3. Cruising boots: These sailing shoes are more comfortable and often have extra padding to support your feet during long days on the boat.
When choosing sailing shoes, it's important to consider what type of sailing you'll be doing most often. For racing, you will need a lighter, more gripping shoe; for cruising, comfort is more important; and for both racing and cruising, a flexible shoe might be beneficial. No matter which type of shoe you choose, ensure that it is well-fitting and provides good foot support. You may also visit the Convair Sailing Club in San Diego to learn more about the types of sailing boats they use.
- Fit & Comfort
When it comes to sailing, comfort is key. You want to be able to move around freely and without pain so that you can focus on enjoying the experience. The right shoes can make all the difference in your comfort level, so it's important to choose wisely.
There are a few things to consider when choosing sailing shoes: fit, comfort, and style. First, you'll want to make sure the shoes fit well. They should be snug but not too tight, and they should provide good support for your feet. Second, consider how comfortable the shoes are. They shouldn't rub or chafe, and they should have plenty of cushioning for long days on the boat. Finally, think about what style of shoe you prefer. Do you want something sporty or more casual? there are lots of options out there to choose from.
The most important thing is to find a pair of sailing shoes that you're comfortable in and that fit well. With a little bit of shopping around, you're sure to find the perfect pair for you.
- Water Resistance
When choosing the best sailing shoes for you, one of the most important factors to consider is water resistance. You don't want your feet to get wet and cold while out on the water, so make sure to choose a pair of shoes that will keep your feet dry. Look for shoes that are made from waterproof materials such as neoprene or rubber. If you're not sure if a particular pair of shoes is water resistant, ask a salesperson or check the product description before making your purchase.
Top Brands for Sailing Shoes
If you enjoy sailing, then you know that having the right shoes is important. The wrong shoes can make your sailing experience uncomfortable and even dangerous. In this guide, we'll show you some of the best sailing shoes on the market so that you can choose the right pair for your needs.
Sperry is one of the most popular brands when it comes to sailing shoes. They offer a wide range of styles and sizes to suit any sailor's needs. Their shoes are also very durable and provide good traction on deck.
Another great option for sailing shoes is Columbia. Their shoes are designed to be comfortable and breathable, with a good grip on slippery surfaces. They offer a variety of styles to choose from, so you're sure to find a pair that suits your taste.
If you're looking for something a little different, then check out Sailors & Soldiers. Their unique style will make you stand out from the crowd. Their shoes are also very comfortable and provide good traction on deck.
Finally, we have Sebago. Their classic boat shoe style is perfect for sailors who want a stylish yet practical option. Their shoes are also very durable and provide good traction on wet surfaces.
Tips on How to Choose the Right Sailing Shoe
Sailing is a fun and relaxing activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. While it is not necessary to have any special equipment to go sailing, having the right sailing shoe can make a big difference in your comfort and safety while on the water. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right sailing shoe:
1. Make sure the shoe fits snugly but is not too tight. You want to be able to move your foot around inside the shoe without it being too loose.
2. The shoe should have good grip to prevent slipping on wet decks.
3. Choose a shoe with a comfortable sole that will cushion your feet against the hard deck surface.
4. Make sure the shoes are made from durable materials that can withstand getting wet and salty without falling apart.
Conclusion
It can be difficult to find the right sailing shoes for your needs, but with this guide you should have a better understanding of what to look for. Remember that comfort and protection are key when it comes to finding the best sailing shoes for you. Whether you are looking for casual boat shoes or more technical ones, there is something out there that will meet your needs. Take some time to research different options and ask questions so that you can make an informed decision about which pair of sailing shoes is best for you.

An article in the November 2012 edition of "Barnsley Today" it seems that some clown is after converting part of the Woodhead trackbed into a motorway. If anything is done the line should be reopened even if just as a freight route to get road freight away from the trans-pennine roads then he could have a much better journey in his car, and it would cost much less that the amount he's proposing.
