BEIJING, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- By the end of this year, the 19 impov-erished households, most of whom include people with physical or men-tal disabilities, in a remote village in northwest China, will be lifted out of poverty thanks to government assistance.Through heavy investment in infra-structure, financial support for ani-mal husbandry and agriculture, some 177 families, or about one quarter of the Zengjipan village in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, have already been lifted above the poverty line, said Zhu Yuguo, a delegate to the 19th National Congress of the Com-munist Party of China and village Party chief.The ongoing congress has reaffirmed the nation's target to eliminate poverty in 2020 to achieve its goal of a moderately prosperous society. At the end of last year, China had 43 million impoverished people living in rural areas, after 55 million people were lifted above the poverty line from 2012 to 2016.Despite difficulties, a number of congress delegates from impover-ished areas across the country have expressed their confidence in accom-plishing the target."With favorable Party and local government policies, our villagers have worked hard and now have much improved lives," said Zhu. "The residents sincerely thank the Party for the great changes over the past few years."Zhu said that previously the village

had rough roads, no nearby drinking water sources, suffered frequent droughts and villagers were very poor.Now, residents have new homes, paved roads, tap water, community centers and money in their pockets. The per capita income reached 8,200 yuan (1,240 U.S. dollars) last year, compared with just 2,400 yuan in 2010."It's encouraging that the Party has a consistent policy to tackle poverty. Some 500,000 people are still living in poverty in my city," said Liu Xuerong, Party chief of Huanggang City in Hubei Province and delegate to the congress.This year, nearly 180,000 people are expected to be lifted out of poverty in Huanggang."Financial assistance plays a cru-cial role," Liu said. By the end of September, the city's outstanding loans for poverty relief increased by nearly 40 percent year on year to 16.3 billion yuan. Special insurance has been made available for farmers who make a living by raising goats or other livestock, or growing crops such as tea, ginger or Chinese yams."Eliminating poverty is a vital step for the country to achieve socialist modernization. In Huanggang, we have confidence in this," Liu said.Poverty alleviation efforts will continue the momentum in Tibet Autonomous Region to ensure the region does not fall behind in the national endeavor to build a moder-ately prosperous society, said Norbu

Dondrup, vice chairman of the re- gional government and delegate

to the CPC congress.At the end of 2016, Tibet had 442,000 people living below the national poverty line out of a total population of about 3.2 million.The government will help herders and farmers develop businesses. Children from poor families will receive subsidized college educa-tion, and the government will help young graduates find jobs and start businesses so they can support their families, according to the delegate."Grassroots Party organizations must be strengthened to act as the back-

bone for poverty reduction," said Wang Liangcheng, a congress dele-gate and first secretary of the Party branch in Limin Village in southwest China's Sichuan Province. Wang, deputy head of the county pricing supervision bureau, was sent to the village to help with poverty relief efforts in 2015.He has helped the village plant crops and establish cooperatives to increase farmers' incomes. Currently, 103 previously poor families in the village have

moved into new houses and now live above the poverty line.The number of impoverished people in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region had dropped from 2.6 million in 2013 to 1.2 million by the end of 2016."We have the confidence and the methods to lift the remaining impov-erished households out of poverty by 2020," said Niu Xuexing, Party chief of Hotan Prefecture, in southern Xin-jiang and delegate to the congress.

U.S. warns public about attacks on en-ergy, industrial firms(Reuters) - The U.S government issued a rare public warning about hacking campaigns targeting energy and industrial firms, the latest evidence that cyber attacks present an increasing threat to the power industry and other public infrastructure.The Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of In-vestigation warned in a report dis-tributed via email late on Friday that the nuclear, energy, aviation, water and critical manufacturing

industries have been targeted along with government entities in attacks dating back to at least May.

The agencies warned that hackers had succeeded in compromising some targeted networks, but did not identify specific victims or describe any cases of sabotage.The objective of the attackers is to compromise organizational networks with malicious emails and tainted websites to obtain credentials for accessing computer networks of their

targets, the report said.

U.S. authorities have been monitor-ing the activity for months, which they initially detailed in a confi-dential June report first reported by Reuters. That document, which was privately distributed to firms at risk of attacks, described a narrower set of activity focusing on the nuclear, energy and critical manufacturing sectors.

Department of Homeland Secu-rity spokesman Scott McConnell declined to elaborate on the infor-

mation in the report or say what prompted the government to go public with the infor-mation at this time.

“The technical alert provides recommenda-tions to prevent and mitigate malicious cyber activity targeting mul-tiple sectors and reiterated our commitment to remain vigilant for new threats,” he said.

FBI representatives did not respond to requests for comment on Saturday.

BUSINESSChina, The World’s Largest Car Market, Has Announced An End To Gas And Diesel Cars

Last Saturday, a Chinese official told the audience at an auto forum in Tianjin that the government is working on a timetable to end “production and sales of traditional energy vehicles,” i.e., gasoline and diesel cars, according to accounts from the Xin-hua News Agency. Regulators have begun the “relevant research,” and the policy will be implemented “in the near future.”Details are somewhat sketchy, but it ap-pears the government plans to shift away from the massive research and consumer subsidies of recent years to something like a cap-and-trade program for fuel economy and emissions, with automakers facing rising quotas but tradable credits provid-ing some compliance flexibility.It’s not a concrete policy yet; we’ll have to see how it’s implemented. But for a mo-ment, look beyond the policy to the optics. This is the world’s largest car market — responsible for around 30 percent of glob-al passenger vehicle sales — announcing an imminent end to fossil fuel cars. That’s a big, big deal.It is just one of many remarkable develop-ments around EVs recently. The past year has seen trumpet blast after trumpet blast heralding the arrival of an EV revolution — sooner than most analysts expected.

How fast that revolution will unfold is the source of much dispute and uncertainty. And it matters a great deal to oil demand, electricity demand, greenhouse gas emis-sions, air pollution, and global trade flows.In many ways, questions around EVs par-allel questions around renewable energy. They have both been consistently underes-timated. If they continue beating expecta-tions, revolution is nigh. But there’s also a lot of hype, wildly conflicting projections, and plenty of risks and pitfalls ahead.

National fossil fuel vehicle bans are catching onChina is only the latest country to announce its intention to phase out the production and sale of gas and diesel vehicles altogether.Last year, the Dutch parliament voted through a motion to end all gas and diesel

car sales by 2025 (it still has to go through the Dutch senate).In June, India announced that it would end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2030.In June, Norway agreed to end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2025. (Norway leads the world in EVs — almost 40 percent of its newly registered vehicles were hybrid, electric, or hydrogen in 2017.)In July, France announced it would end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2040.In July, Britain announced it would end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2040.In August, German Chancellor Ange-la Merkel hinted that her country would follow suit. “I cannot name an exact year yet,” she said, “but the approach is right, because if we quickly invest in more charging infrastructure and technology for electric cars, a general changeover will be structurally possible.”This month, the Scottish government an-nounced it would phase out gas and diesel cars by 2032.Of course, dozens of other countries and states/provinces have their own targets for EVs. (The International Energy Agency’s Global EV Outlook has a good overview.)

Many of these promises are vague or lack implementation plans, and all could be

overturned by subsequent governments, but they all carry a clear message. While there are all sorts of clever EV support policies, outright bans carry a unique po-litical and market-moving weight — espe-cially in rapidly expanding markets like China and India.There’s a big psychological difference be-tween “we’re going to start edging into a transition” and “we’re ending gas cars.” There’s a finality to the latter that, shall we say, stimulates the entrepreneurial imagi-nation.

(Some) automakers are making big promises on EVsIn most big markets outside the US, EVs are the hot thing, so lots of major auto-makers have announced plans to start shifting in the direction of electrification, through either conventional gas-electric hybrids (HEVs), plug-in gas-electric hy-brids (PHEVs), or pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs).Some pledges are more ambitious than others. And all must be taken with a grain of salt, given that many automakers are not hitting their current EV targets. Here are a few, in chronological order.Last year, Volkswagen announced that it would attempt to bring 30 or more BEVs to market by 2025, with a target of 2 mil-lion to 3 million sold by that year, roughly 25 percent of its total sales. This year, the company upped the ante again, vowing to create electric versions of all 300 of its models. (After its diesel scandal debacle, Volkswagen is all in on electrics.)In March, Daimler (owner of Mer-

cedes-Benz) announced it was acceler-ating its EV program and would have 10 new EVs to market by 2022.

Daimler’s (owner of Mer-cedes-Benz) electric car subbrand will be called EQ.In July, Volvo announced that all its mod-els introduced in 2019 and after would be hybrid or electric.This month, BMW announced that by 2025 it would have 12 new BEVs and 13 new hybrids on the road.This month, Jaguar Land Rover an-nounced that all of its new models from 2020 onward would be hybrid or electric.And of course there are big electric car companies like Tesla, which plan to sell 100 percent BEVs now and forever.In contrast to their European counterparts, the Big Three US automakers — Ford, GM, and Chrysler — have been slackers on EVs. Across all three, today they offer three BEVs and five PHEVs. And in the next three-plus years, they have cumula-tively promised one (1) noncommercial EV. (The Renault-Nissan electric alliance, which had an early lead in EV sales, is not selling well.)What Ford, GM, and many other auto-makers have done is go to China to estab-lish partnerships. “The biggest players are shifting crucial scientific and design work to China,” wrote Keith Bradsher in the New York Times, “as the country invests heavily in car-charging stations and re-search and pushes automakers to embrace battery-powered vehicles.”China is leading now, and the US is lag-ging.

Three cool new models are coming to the US this yearEVs have typically been criticized for being too expensive and not going far enough on a charge. But with every new

model that hits the market, they get cheap-er and go farther. Three notable contend-ers this year (listed prices will be lower after the $7,500 federal EV tax credit and various state-level incentives):

The Tesla Model 3 sedan began deliv-eries this year, marking the company’s long-anticipated move into the mass mar-ket. There are two models, a standard with 220-mile range ($36,200 base price) and a Long Range version with 310-mile range ($45,200 base price). Full reviews haven’t come in yet, but early encounters are de-scribed in rapturous terms.The 2010 Nissan Leaf is the world’s best-selling EV, but it has gotten long in the tooth. The 2018 Nissan Leaf is an up-grade, with 150-mile range and a $29,990 base price. The company plans to intro-duce a higher-powered version next year.

2018 Nissan LeafThe Chevy Bolt technically debuted at the very end of last year, but I’m counting it anyway. It boasts a range of 238 miles and a base price of $36,620, which makes it squarely competitive with the Model 3. It got five stars from Car & Driver and won Motor Trend’s 2017 Car of the Year — by all accounts it’s a fantastic car — but it’s received oddly little hype relative to Tesla, and sales have been disappointing.

COMMUNITYEconomist Says Local Economy Is Rebounding, Which Will Mean A Stronger Economy For The Remainder Of 2017, And Into 2018Houston Area Growth Into 2018 Looks Bright

HOUSTON, TX -- A local economist says the Houston area economy is in the midst of a rebound, ending a period of stagnant economic growth that started with the oil downturn in late 2014.Patrick Jankowski, senior vice president for research and development for the Greater Houston Partnership, addressed local business and community leaders Friday at the 2017 Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce Economic Out-look Forum, and said the local economy has begun to rebound, which means more jobs being created in 2018.“The worst is over,” Jankowski said.During the regional economic forum in March 2015, economist Bill Gilmer, di-rector for the Institute of Region Forecast-ing at the University of Houston, project-ed the Houston area was at that time in the early stages of a recession, and projected that oil prices had already begun to drop and rig counts were already being reduced in the Permian Basin and other oil fields.Gilmer also projected at the time that job growth would shrink significantly, and that the recession would remain through 2016, and 2017.Gilmer was nearly spot on with his anal-ysis.

Census data shows Houston leads in population growth across U.S.However, Jankowski said the economy has already begun to rebound, and that the Houston metro area actually experienced a level of robust growth in 2016, despite a weak local economy.“Some people come here for jobs, some people come here for families, and some people come here from far and wide, and some people come here from Chicago be-cause they don’t want to shovel snow any-more,” he said.Over the last seven years, Jankowski said the Houston metro area has grown by 150,000 people -- the equivalent of drop-ping the entire population of El Paso in to Houston, he said.Jankowski added that the local economy

began adding new jobs in August 2016, and that the economy will continue its upward thrust through the remainder of 2017, and into 2018.The job growth will come some from the oil and gas industry, which is due for an upswing, and will also be aided by other industries, such as healthcare occupations.“2017 won’t be as good as 2014, but it will better than 2015, and 2016 were,” he said.

Rapid population growth continues in Katy Area

Move over Pittsburgh, the Katy Area now boasts a larger population. According to recent data complied by data analytics company Alteryx, the population of the Katy Area, as defined by Katy ISD bound-aries, has surpassed the Steel City by over 1,000. Population estimates put the Katy Area at 309,556 and the City of Pittsburgh at 308,237. Over the past decade, the Katy Area has

been no stranger to growth with an annual population growth rate between 4 and 6%. In the year 2000, the Katy Area had a pop-ulation of 139,998 making the recent 2015 population estimate nearly 200,000 larger over the span of just 15 years. “I arrived to the Katy Area in 2005 and the growth I have seen during my time here is immense,” said Katy Area Economic De-velopment President/CEO Lance LaCour. Population growth within the Katy Area is expected to continue and reach well over 350,000 by the year 2020. The rap-id growth of the area has been spurred by abundant job opportunities, a high quali-ty education from Katy ISD and a great standard of living with affordable housing options.

“The Katy Area is extremely fortunate to have a strong economy which is driving

growth,” added LaCour. “We are continu-ing to see businesses relocate and expand in our area. Our exceptional schools and high quality of life continue to further growth as well.” In order to keep up with population growth in the Katy Area, the Katy Area EDC continues to focus on ways to im-prove and enhance transportation options including roads and public transit. As such, the Katy Area EDC recently formed the Mobility and Public Infrastructure Committee which is dedicated to work-ing towards improving transportation for those living and working in the Katy Area. The Katy Area EDC has played a key role in the development and growth of the Katy Area. Since its founding in 2004, it has helped create over 14,000 jobs, $1.4 billion in capital investment and $1.2 bil-lion in infrastructure project advocacy. “Our organization will continue to pursue growth and development opportunities to improve the quality of life for those liv-ing and working in the Katy Area,” said LaCour. “I look forward to the future

and watching our community continue to thrive.”

A real estate development in north-east Houston is seeking a chance to become the new headquarters for Amazon.com, joining bidders from across the United States hoping to lure the company’s 50,000 new jobs to their cities. Generation Park, which is located off Beltway 8 near Lake Houston and East Mount Houston Road, sub-mitted a bid to the online commerce giant, touting Houston’s central location, “reachable by air in just a few hours,” as a draw for the com-pany’s new base of operations. “Year after year, Houston is con-sistently named one of the Top 10 cities by countless magazines and surveys,” the proposal states.

“We offer big city advantages like the best and newest restaurants and entertainment. We are recognized for excellence in the arts, from

galleries to concert halls to public installations. And at Generation Park we enhance the open spaces around

our noteworthy architecture with beautiful and inspiring year-round greenscapes.”Generation Park, owned by McCord

Development, spans 4,000 acres and offers Amazon amenities like direct, TSA pre-screened shuttles from Amazon offices to Houston airports and buildings with “seasonal fresh air flow.” Already located at Generation Park is Fortune 500 energy company TechnipFMC.GHX, a national maker and distributor of industrial gaskets and hoses, is con-solidating four Houston area facilities and their headquar-ters into the new park.GHX Industrial, LLC, a

刻展、淝水之战壁画和王羲之书法复

制作品等，无声地诉说着那段悠远的

历史。

乌衣巷是历史留给后人的一面镜

子，从盛极一时到残败衰落，它警醒

后人一个亘古不变的真理：纵观前贤

国与家，成由勤俭败由奢。

薄暮时分，夕阳黯淡，连片的青

砖小瓦马头墙，回廊挂落花格窗建筑

之上，鸽群在天际徘徊，衬托出闹市

之中夫子庙的几分宁静和恬淡。

在秦淮河，寻找历史深处走来的文化记忆巍峨辉煌的大成殿作为南京夫子庙的核心景区，是供奉和祭

祀孔子的庙宇。这里既是历史文物建筑，又是反映南京风土人情

、弘扬民族文化的博物馆。

东晋史上王、谢家族齐名，双方各有一个﹁掌门﹂：王导和

谢安，各领风骚几十年。一个创业，开辟了江东基业；一个守成

，保住了半壁江山。

靖西位于中越边境，素有"小

桂林"之称，这里秀峰延绵、河川

纵横，风景异常优美，却有一种

养在深闺的味道，这里的游人并

不多，好似陶渊明笔下“阡陌交

通，鸡犬相闻”的桃花源，那来

到靖西非去不可的景点你知道有

哪些吗?赶紧跟着小编来看看吧~

鹅泉

鹅泉是一处面积达50余亩的

巨泉，泉水从石灰岩缝隙中涌出

，汇入深潭，然后继续东流，称

为鹅泉河。登上半山的凉亭，举

目眺望，青山绿水、石桥翠竹、

农田民居，构成一幅美丽画卷，

在这里可以感受到原生态的田园

生活气息，令人流连忘返。

通灵大峡谷

通灵大峡谷是一处结合了热

带雨林、河流瀑布、峡谷溶洞等

多种景观的自然风景区，谷内林

木繁茂，遮天蔽日，涧水潺潺，

水气弥漫，人们走在鹅卵石林荫

道上，四周充满了一股清凉气息

，来到谷底的人不由得都会倒吸

一口凉气，沁肺入脾，浑身透彻

，神清气爽。

三叠岭瀑布

三叠岭瀑布位于靖西县湖润

镇新灵村桥屯西面山上，南宁至

靖西的公路就从瀑布的山脚通过

。瀑布是由流珠水的河水自崖头

突然下跌而形成。那里的山崖呈

三叠，因而得名。上望瀑布似银

河泻落，状如悬练，雄伟壮观，

故有“星汉流珠落九天”之佳句

。

渠洋湖

渠洋湖是一个大型的喀斯特

高原湖泊水库，岸边小草翠绿，

牛羊成群，俨然一片大自然的祥

和景象。泛舟北上，才能将渠洋

湖的美景尽收眼底，船在湖中行

，湖内秀峰如林，水面烟波浩渺

，岸边翠竹婆娑，炊烟缭绕。

旧州古镇

旧州古镇建于宋末年，是一

个山水如画，田园似锦，历史悠

久的古镇。这里民族俗风情浓郁

，也是名扬四海的抗倭民族巾帼

英雄瓦氏夫人的故乡。 旧州古镇

以制作绣球而闻名于世，镇上家

家户户都会制作绣球，街边摊档

店铺中，摆放着各式绣球，琳琅

满目。

在曾经被受推崇的“经连会”系

统下，日本制造商与供应商之间基于

信任的紧密合作关系，让“日本制造

”成为工业品质及可靠的代名词。但

这个美名已经在过去几年凋零。神户

制钢所篡改数据丑闻只是一连串日本

企业造假丑闻的最新一起，让日本企

业的高品质招牌再受打击。

日本未能跟上合规标准

报道称，神户制钢所丑闻的曝光

，看起来可能是日本政府推动加强公

司治理所带来的结果。但问题根源其

实是，日本制造业者在艰苦面对国内

市场萎缩及全球竞争加剧之际，未能

跟上现代的合规标准。

随着企业焦点从轻松的套交情业

务转移到市场运作机制，日本制造业

者不得不参与价格竞争，并努力扩大

客户来源。

“全球竞争不断增强，迫使日本

制造商削减成本以提高效率，同时还

要完成通常难以达到的生产配额，”

Tokyo Kasumigaseki 律所的律师Moto-

kazu Endo表示。

“企业集团”制度以前是日本汽

车产业的根基。汽车产业顾问及罗兰

贝格合伙人Hitoshi Kaise表示，随着

市场竞争越来越激烈，那些汽车厂商

现在减少对供应商的投资，而且用于

检查那些供应商工厂产品的时间越来

越少。

此外，由于人口萎缩和来自亚洲

邻国的竞争加剧，日本经济陷入了长

达几十年的低迷状态。

早稻田大学教授及企业治理专家

Hideaki Miyajima表示，这些压力有可

能削弱了日本企业的竞争能力。

走得太远

无良制造商的名单很长，而且上

榜者还在不断增加。与此同时，日产

汽车因违反安全检查规定，被迫召回

最近三年在日本出售的所有新车。

铃木汽车和三菱汽车现汽车能效

测试造假丑闻；而现已申请破产的安

全气囊生产商高田，以及东洋橡胶工

业和旭化成也均曾爆出不正当行径。

“虽然着重于目标在一开始是正

确的，但做得过度了，许多无法达到

目标的企业得靠蒙骗。”生产品质专

家暨文教大学教授Hiroshi Osada称。

专攻企业合规的律师Nobuo Go-

hara表示，过去15年来合规规则趋于

严格，但许多日本企业仍遵循以往的

惯例行事。他在奥林巴斯2011年爆出

会计丑闻后曾参与对该国公司的审核

。

“工厂内潜藏许多这类问题。”

他说。

悉尼科技大学企业治理专家

Thomas Clarke 教授指出，随着其他

亚洲经济体的产品质量标准和可

靠度不断提高，日本恐有输掉之

虞。

董事会也需改善

此外，问题还不只是数据造假。

专家指出，应当对日本企业的董事会

成员予以更多关注。

目前，日本东芝仍在应对会计

丑闻，而福岛第一核电站的运营商

东京电力也被指存在一系列不当行

为。日本核监管机构上周称，日本

原燃违反了安全规定，其六所村核

电站伪造记录称安全检查已经完成

。该核电站的启动数据已经推迟公

布了23次。

文教大学的 Osada 表示：“即

使采取措施强化对公司的外部监控

，也不可能每天进行检查。”Osada

补充说：“企业必须更加努力地发

展这样一种文化，让员工能够提出

自己的顾虑，对上级说不，通过团

队合作来发现其他员工的不当行为

。”

身为律师的Japan Corporate Gov-

ernance Network 总裁 Shin Ushijima 表

示，应当对日本企业的董事会成员予

以更多关注。丑闻曝出时他们的参与

不够积极。Ushijima指出，企业往往

过于依赖委任并非真正独立的外部委

员会。

Ushijima说，公司治理改革产生

了一些影响。他说：“虽然并不完美

，但东芝的董事会在改组之后得到改

善。”

神钢丑闻进一步暴露“日本制造”招牌裂痕

韩国首尔中央地方法院13日决定，

延长羁押前总统朴槿惠最多半年，逮捕

依据是起诉阶段新增的对收受乐天及SK

贿赂的指控。

法庭认为，朴槿惠如国在一审羁押

期限届满的10月16日24时获释，有毁灭

证据之虞，满足延长羁押条件。

上月26日，检方以擅政案情重大亟

需揭示真相为由，提请法庭延长羁押朴

槿惠，以免她借故拒不出庭影响正常审

理。

报道称，因控辩双方及法庭都希

望尽快结案，一审判决最早可能年内

出炉。

另一方面，法院公布决定前一日，

青瓦台宣布找到一批新文件，证明朴槿

惠政府在2014年“世越号”事故报告中

存在作假嫌疑。

“世越号”当日在早上8时58分发

生翻侧，在调查报告的最初版本中，列

明朴槿惠于9时30分接报，10时15分下

令处理此事。然而，在6个月后的修正版

报告中，朴槿惠接报的时间却变成了10

时，将朴槿惠从接报到下令处理的间隔

由原先的45分钟，缩短至15分钟。

此外，青瓦台还发现朴槿惠政府疑

似违法变更国家危机管理准则。在原有

准则中，灾难发生时是由国家安全局为

主管部门，但事故发生后3个月，准则却

被篡改为国家安全局只负责涉及安保相

关事件，让国家安全局撇开处理海难的

责任。

青瓦台指出，这些改变理论上需国会

批准，但朴槿惠政府无视了这些程序。

新增指控 有毁灭证据之虞？朴槿惠再被延长羁押半年

《蒙娜丽莎》是世界上最

著名的画作之一，这幅画中也

藏着许多未解之谜。其作者达

•芬奇留下的不仅仅是关于一

个女人的画作：蒙娜丽莎的眼

睛似乎总是盯着你。她既没有

眉毛也没有睫毛。她穿着朴素

，深色的衣服让人感觉她好像

在哀悼。但是她为什么要微笑

呢？

为揭开蒙娜丽莎的身世之

谜，艺术史学家绞尽脑汁。最

著名和最常见的理论要追溯到

传记作家乔治•瓦萨里书中的

记载，作者认为蒙娜丽莎是佛

罗伦萨丝绸商人弗朗西斯科•

德•乔康多的妻子。达•芬奇

应该是在1503年接到为这位富

商妻子绘画的邀约。

此外，在编年史作者安东

尼奥•德•贝亚蒂斯1517年的

史料中记载，达•芬奇在一份

字条上写道，又为赞助人朱利

亚诺•美第奇创作了一幅“蒙

娜丽莎”。

贝亚蒂斯的文字记载中称

，达芬奇向美第奇的朋友展示

过三副画作：《施洗者圣约翰

》、《圣母子与圣安妮》，以

及应赞助人朱利亚诺•美第奇

要求为一位佛罗伦萨女士绘制

的画作。

因此，据贝亚蒂斯的记载

，达芬奇为帕西菲卡•布兰达

尼创作了想象出的肖像。布兰

达尼是朱利亚诺•美第奇的情

人，她为美第奇生下一个儿子

。在生产过程中这位情人死了

，这副肖像画作是为了安抚他

们的孩子。

这两种理论在艺术史学家中

很受欢迎，然而，至今没有人可

以肯定地说出蒙娜丽莎究竟是谁

。1519年，达•芬奇临去世之前

，他的一个学生将一幅作品出售

给法国皇室，之后这幅作品被送

到卢浮宫，也就是现在人们所看

到的《蒙娜丽莎》。

她到底是谁？《蒙娜丽莎》500年的微笑至今无解

可的美白護膚品。新添加成分為世界首家其中的美白成分是POLA花了十年時間（普通化妝品研發只需要3~5年），進行了其中成分對皮膚的影響、對身體的影響、對孕中胎兒的影響等35項嚴密檢查，終於證實了其安全性和有效性，並且得到日本厚生勞動省醫藥部外品的承認。BA抗糖系列

皮膚領域的糖化反應，是指肌膚因為新陳代謝過慢，導致多餘的糖分整日里在血管中游走，過多的糖分就會附著在膠原蛋白上，使膠原蛋白斷裂或紊亂，肌膚便會出現皺紋，顯現黑頭，變得粗糙暗澀。

「糖化」 顧名思義就是使肌膚變得像糖一樣脆弱，易發黃。主要是因為肌膚殘留的糖分因子可以使膠原蛋白纖維斷裂變黃，變成“膠原蛋黃”，從而導致膚色泛黃，鬆馳。所以，膠原蛋白的糖化會損害肌膚的顏色與光澤。糖化反應與年齡，膚質都沒有關係，是任何年齡都會面臨的問題，所以抗老化也就是抗糖化，早一天開始保養，遲一天延緩衰老！

POLA BA 抗糖化系列，從根本上清除代謝糖化物質。提高細胞代謝能力。抗皺保濕抗糖化抗氧化全方面護理，從細胞保持水分能力的根源著手，體現POLA高科技的真正實力！一丸獨家代理：REFA CARAT RAY一丸價格：$300 會員價$270
