Sky news:掩盖口气逃避酒精测试?没门儿!

Candy claims to cover beer breath
掩盖口气逃避酒精测试?没门儿!
A Swiss breath lozenge called AntiPoleez claims that once you pop one in your mouth, no one will know that you've been drinking. So does that apply to police? Officers say not a chance!
瑞士一种名叫AntiPoleez的口气清新含片宣称向嘴里喷入一滴之后,就没有人知道你喝酒了 。那么,对警察来说是否适用?警官们表示,没门儿!
It might mask the alcohol, but for a short term only!
这种含片或许能掩盖酒精的味道,但是只能持续很短的时间!
Officer Rene Barraza has been with APD for roughly nine years and says he's seen people try it all to cover up their breath at DWI checkpoints. “Coins, umm, ammunition, gum, Tic Tac, Candy, food.”
Rene Barraza警官在监控系统工作了近九年的时间,他说,他看到过许多人在酒精测试时使用各种各样的方法来掩盖口气 。“硬币,弹药,口香糖,薄荷糖,糖果,食品 。”
But none of that helps when it comes to a Breathalyzer or field sobriety test. And the licorice-flavored AntiPoleez lozenge is no different. One look at the candy's website and the product's name may give someone the sense that it's a way to get out of a DWI.
但是在呼吸测醉器或现场酒精测试中,任何一种方法都无效 。欧亚甘草口味的AntiPoleez含片也没有什么不同 。有人查看了这种糖果的网站,这种产品的名字或许会给人一种错觉,认为可以在DWI测试中脱身 。
But company officials say trying to fool officers is not their intention. In a written statement they say:" We give our law enforcement officials more credit than to think a lozenge could prevent a police officer from getting drunk drivers off the road before they hurt themselves or someone else. This is underestimating their professional observational skills."
但是该公司官员表示,他们的产品目的并不是哄骗交警 。他们在一份书面声明中表示:“我们更信任执法官员,而不认为这种含片能够让酒后驾驶的司机在伤害自己或他人之前停止上路 。这样就低估了交警监控的专业技能 。”
Officer Barraza has a few words for would-be buyers who think popping one of the candies will get them off the hook.
Barraza警官有一些话对那些想要购买这种口气清新含片企图让自己脱身的人 。
I'd tell them they're wasting their money. I'd tell them to give me the money instead and I'll give them better advice.
我会告诉他们,这完全是浪费钱 。我要告诉他们,可以把钱给我,我会给他们提供更好的建议 。
CCTV9:菲律宾经济增长是否结束?
Has Philippines' economic boom ended?
菲律宾经济增长是否结束?
While much of the world’s focus has been on Greece's economic turmoil and the Chinese market’s troubles, the Philippines -- a darling of investors in recent years -- has been dealing with a record fall in foreign investments in its stock market.
These Filipino traders are facing an uphill battle. After rallying the Philippines’ stock market to an all-time high earlier this year, they’ now having to turn it around after losing more than 700 million dollars in foreign investments in the last three months. The outflow is the country’s worst in more than a decade… and the highest among emerging markets in the region. This, just after the government revealed a lower-than-expected 5.2 percent economic growth in the first three months of the year.
The Philippines has been the “sick man of Asia” for so long, the economic boom the country has been experiencing the past few years has felt somewhat of a miracle. But with economic performance this year so far falling below expectations, some are asking – is the end near for the Philippines’ economic miracle?
Far from it, according to the Philippine Stock Exchange’s Chief Operating Officer Roel Refran.
"Look at the vital stats of the Philippines – debt to GDP ratio at 47 percent. Look at Europe, it’s probably at around 100 percent debt to GDP. We’ve never been this fiscally sound in the past 10 years. + What we’re seeing is an economy that’s just beginning to really gain traction," Refran said.
It’s an economy that is being fueled by a young, English-speaking workforce, and billions of dollars of remittances from Filipinos working overseas. But it isn’t immune to market movements outside the country.
"Up until June, the Chinese market was up 150 percent from the summer of 2014. And we have seen that funds are probably alpha-seeking; they would always look for the overperformers. While we are very much above our peer group, the returns generated by the Chinese market was just too much incentive for others to reconsider their portfolio," Refran said.
And with Chinese shares just recovering from a huge blow, the Philippines has a golden opportunity to gain back what it lost and get back to a path of economic success.
CCTV9视频:香港股民经历股市剧变
HK investors experience market volatility
香港股民经历股市剧变
As investors come to grips with the extreme market volatility of the past week, we look to the lessons learned in Hong Kong, where for the first time, investors taking part in the Stock Connect Scheme experienced huge swings in the value of their investments.
The precipitous fall in Hong Kong’s markets sent investors on edge in the past week. For the first time, the boon of an online trading link with Shanghai turned to bane.
Two-way cross border flow merely exacerbated the sell-off.
Eliot Li, who’s been in the business for 15 years, has never seen anything like this – since the global financial crisis in 20-08.
"Stunned... Of course. We were shocked on the speed and magnitude on the decline. This demonstrates how much volatility the HK market was imported from China with the opening of money flow across the border," Li said.
On the record drop in Hong Kong markets: Investors should "stay calm" and "beware of risks in the market".
Hong Kong authorities were quick to allay fears. Acting Financial Secretary Chan Ka-keung advised investors to "stay calm" and "beware of risks in the market".
Kenny Tang, who's also been in the business for 15 years, assured clients the rout was mere a short-term correction.
"I think the Stock Connect prospect is still good because in China the wealth of the citizens is quite very substantial and if we can channel some of the funds to Hong Kong market, I think Hong Kong would benefit," Tang said.
The ensuing recovery in Hong Kong following Beijing’s series of measures on its own markets brought some buyers back, but they came back surviving the fall, bruised and burned. The market rout taught them a gem of a lesson: cross-border trading not only facilitated the quick flow of money – but the quick outflow of wealth, when risk is up.
While Kenny and Eliot agree it's a new trading era with the online cross-border link in place – the simplest of all investment advice still holds true up to this day.
"I suggest investors to put about 20% stop loss. If the share price drop 20 percent I suggest they put a stop loss and wait and see," Tang said.
"Conceptual stocks such as those "shell stocks" and anything that has ramped high over their fundamental valuations are those that we urge clients to revisit their position," Li said.
