city hopes for greener rooftops
recently i read veral newspapers. today, i appeal to an essay about a new proposal. it’s a very long report, so i spent lots of time reading it. after reading it, i got many new ideas and thought more about it.
to beautify our environment and make us live a better life, the greener rooftops begin to come to our life. it’s a big project and needs the support of law enforcement departments, approval from the municipal people’s congress and public opinions, so the plan is currently under discussion. although it’s not universal in everybody’s life, it would also encourage residents to grow plants, grass and vegetables on their rooftops. it’s good for our environment.
when it comes to environment, the word pollution appears in my mind. becau the human-beings didn’t take good care of the surroundings, wasted the resources, cut the trees casually, pour the polluted water into the river and threw the litters everywhere. our environment became wor and wor. with the development of rooftop greening techniques, we can improve our environment and more and more land can be green. what’s more, rooftop greening projects are generally designed to combat the “urban heat island effect”. it’s beneficial to our city.
i call on everybody
taking actions to green our rooftop and spare no effort to protect our environment.

what next for south africas foremost mining family?
most people would be overjoyed to pocket $5.1 billion. but nicky oppenheimer, the chairman of de beers, said that it was with a heavy heart that his family had decided to ll its remaining 40% stake in the worlds biggest diamond miner to anglo american, a mining behemoth. the deal marks the end of an era for south africas foremost mining dynasty.杜甫的三吏三别
the oppenheimers have been in the diamond business for more than a century, including over 80 years with de beers. nickys grandfather ernest ttled in south africa in 1902, having been posted to the diamond-boom town of kimberley at the age of 22 as an agent for a london-bad firm of gem traders. by 1917 he had t up his own mining company, anglo american. a few years later he won control of d
e beers, a diamond miner that had been founded in 1880 by cecil rhodes, a british-born colonialist. by the time rhodes died in 1902, de beers controlled 90% of the worlds diamond production. rhodess immen fortune still pays for people like bill clinton to study at oxford.
since 1929, when sir ernest (knighted for war rvices in 1921) took over as chairman, the oppenheimers have led de beers almost without interruption, massaging the price of diamonds by hoarding them and occasionally lling part of the firms stockpile. the family has wielded political influence, too, mostly bankrolling liberal caus. both ernest and his son harry rved in south africa’s parliament: ernest for 14 years in the run-up to the cond world war, and harry for nine years as a member of the anti-apartheid opposition.

of late, however, the familys influence has waned. some wonder whether nicky and his son jonathan have the same drive and acumen as their swashbuckling forebears. and anglo american, the firm their family founded (and in which it now h
读鲁滨逊漂流记有感as a stake of 2%), moved its headquarters to london in 1999. nicky oppenheimer insists that the family will stay connected with south africa: they are still bad in johannesburg.
what will the oppenheimers do with their new pile of cash? the deal will take months to complete, so they have time to ponder. under its terms, they are barred from dabbling in diamonds for two years. but other possibilities abound.
the family has two investment arms. one, called stockdale street capital, invests largely in medium-sized firms in south africa. the other, tana africa capital, is a joint venture with singapores sovereign-wealth fund, temak, and invests in the成都婚假
rest of africa. among other things, it holds a stake in a nigerian firm that lls powdered milk, and it plans to build up five to ten substantial firms over the next decade.
at the moment, tana is focud on fast-moving consumer goods and agriculture, a
nd to a lesr extent on building materials, health and education. the new money could go into any or all of the areas, says james teeger, a family spokesman. and the oppenheimers may also look at infrastructure and energy, two of the hottest business south of the sahara. nicky oppenheimer is said to be furiously jetting around looking for shrewd places to inject his cash.
宝石交易
南非最有影响力的矿业家族,下一步会如何?
在大多数人眼里,获得51亿美元是一件高兴的事。然而对于尼克 奥本海默而言,这位德比尔斯(全球最大,历史最悠久的钻石矿业公司)主席却不那么轻松。其家族海默家族已经决定向矿业巨头英美资源集团出售剩余的40%德比尔斯的股份。而这次交易也标志这个南非矿业巨头辉煌时代的结束。
鲁迅名言名句
海默家族涉足钻石业已超过一个世纪,其中80年在德比尔斯工作。尼克的祖父欧内斯特在1902年定居在南非。在他22岁那年,作为一家总部在伦敦的钻石交易公司的代理,他外派
到钻石业繁荣的小城金伯利。1917年,他已有了自己的矿业公司,英美资源集团。几年之后,他又掌控了德比尔斯,一家由英国殖民者塞西尔?罗兹于1880年创立的企业。1902年,也就是罗兹去世时间,德比尔斯钻石产量占据世界份额的90%。至今,罗兹的巨额财富仍在支付美国前总统克林顿在牛津大学学习的费用。
1929年,欧内斯特爵士成为德比尔斯主席。自此之后,海默家族一直经营着德比尔斯,并通过控制库存量来调控钻石价格。与此同时,海默家族为一些南非的自由事业提供资助,在政界也有一定的影响。另外,欧内斯特和儿子哈利也曾为南非议会服务:欧内斯特在14年里为二战提供支持,哈利也是种族主义的支持者。写实素描
近来,海默家族的影响力却日渐衰弱。一些人就质疑尼克和他的儿子是否拥有先驱的进取心和洞察力。而且英美资源集团,这个曾经海默家族一手打造的企业也在1999年把总部迁到了伦敦。而尼克 奥本海默却坚持家族应该要立足于南非:其总部仍在约翰内斯堡。
奥本海默家族又如何运用这笔钱?这次交易历经数月才能完成,因而海默家族有着足够的时间来考量。条款规定,他们在2年内禁止从事钻石行业。但不排除有其他可能他们将再次干起老本行。
海默家族有2个投资分部:斯托克代尔街资本,主要投资南非的中型企业。非洲塔纳资本,这家与新加坡淡马锡(主权财富基金公司)成立的合资公司则负责其余非洲的业务。除了这些之外,家族还拥有一家尼日利亚的奶粉厂,并计划在近十年中投资在新建5到10个新工厂。 与此同时,塔纳资本愈发重视投资日益繁荣的消费品和农产品行业。同时,也在慢慢涉足建筑材料领域、健康领域和教育界。娜塔丽珍,这位家族的发言人声称,家族获得的资金会投
