A | 我记得当我还是个孩子的时候,我手里的零用钱就少了。 Mike McCarter knows his American history almost as well as he knows his Bible. His family has lived and worshipped in Oregon for four generations. "The only time I lived out of the state was during the Vietnam War when I was in the military," he said.But his Oregon may not be the Oregon you're thinking of, the one with the misty rugged coastline, pinot noir wineries, and its loyally Blue politics. McCarter lives in the town of La Pine, in the state's rural and more sparsely populated part – the Red side of Oregon. "It's almost like the Grand Canyon goes right along the Cascade Range," he told correspondent Lee Cowan. "It is a big divide."What that means politically, he says, is that the Blue part of Western Oregon always outweighs the Eastern part's Red. "In talking to a legislator over in the Portland area, I said, 'The legislature doesn't listen to our people, our representatives over here.' He said, 'Whoa whoa whoa, stop, Mike. We hear what they're staying. We just out-vote you.'"
So, McCarter decided to look for greener pastures - or in this case, at least ones a little more red. Last fall, when "Sunday Morning" first met McCarter, he was spearheading a campaign called Move Oregon's Border. The group had been busy introducing ballot measures all across the state asking voters about the idea of pushing the urban, Blue bits of Oregon into a smaller but still populous state, and then taking the rural Red bits and creating what would be part of a more expansive Idaho.The group Move Oregon's border advocated for moving the border so that rural counties in Oregon's east would become part of Idaho, a more conservative state. CBS News Sandie Gilson owns a real estate business in rural John Day, Oregon, which is closer to Boise than it is Portland in virtually every way. She told Cowan, "When you have a government that won't listen to the opposition, or take into account those of us that live out here, then we have no government representation."Cowan asked Gilson, "Are you optimistic that you think you have a chance?""I look at it like the American Revolution was a big hurdle to make, and they did it," she replied.
It'd been a year since "Sunday Morning" visited, so Cowan went back, to find out how things stood. Back then, nine counties had voted in favor of considering making Eastern Oregon part of Idaho. Now, that number is up 12, with another set to vote next May. CBS News "We're getting into people's heads about this," McCarter said.As for Idaho, well, it's at least open to discussions. This past spring Idaho's state representatives approved a measure to begin a dialogue with Oregon over whether and how to redraw their common boundary. But so far, McCarter said Oregon is playing hard to get, at least in public. "We've heard from behind the scenes, 'Wait a minute, if we fund a bridge in Eastern Oregon, why would be we do that if it's going to become Idaho?'" he said. But the opposition has swung into gear, too. A Portland non-profit called Western States Center is branding the move a "radical change" that would raise taxes and cut wages. Comparing it to Oregon's past white nationalists hate groups, one ad declares, "Members of Patriot Group, a white nationalist hate group, support a secession. Makes you wonder: Why are violent extremists pushing for secession?"Their message: If rural conservatives don't like Oregon's urban liberal leanings, well, don't move the border, move themselves instead.
McCarter said, "We're not running away from the problem, we're not going to run away and move to Idaho. We're going to deal with the problem right here and now."There are a lot of details still to be ironed out, and the devil is in every one of them. Not to mention the fact that actually changing the border would require both Oregon and Idaho to agree, and would then need approval by the U.S. Congress.Richard Kreitner, author of the book "Break It Up: Secession, Division, and the Secret History of America's Imperfect Union," says it's hardly a new idea: "I don't think that we should act like state lines are written in stone. We should look at them and say, 'Does this actually make sense?' Little, Brown "Secession has always been there. Catholics lived in Maryland, debtors lived in Georgia, you know, Puritans lived in New England. They were kind of separate to begin with. And that's why they wanted nothing to do with one another.""So, it's really woven into our DNA?" asked Cowan. "Absolutely. There's nothing sacred about Oregon. There's nothing sacred about Delaware or my native New Jersey, in my opinion. You know, these are just kind of inherited forms."Mike McCarter will be the first to tell you that moving Oregon's border is radical. But, he says, if we've learned anything about our politics in the last several years, it's that "conventional" seems so yesterday.
"I mean, as fast as things are changing in this country right now, why can't we?" he said. "Why can't people still have the right to vote for who governs them?" For more info:
E | 最后,这个包裹可以卖1元。这种销售方式不仅可以为小商店赚更多的钱,而且可以让我们在任何时候用1美分的零用钱购买热牙条作为牙齿祭品。
F | 这是一种双赢的销售方式。回想自己童年的经历,小编突然有了一个想法:微软能在那家小商店里用热卖方式卖Office365吗?Office365的优势在于,在上一篇题为“大学:如何选择正式的Microsoft Office”的文章中,我们讨论了Office365与Office零售的区别。
G | 简单地说,在购买办公零售时,用户需要一次性全额支付。用户购买的办公室将在支持周期内获得安全更新和性能更新,但不会获得。Office365以订阅的形式提供给用户。用户购买的Office365实际上是一段时间内的一系列权益,例如使用Office的权利和使用1TB单驱动器云存储空间的权利。除了安全更新和性能更新外,Office 365还将在订阅有效期内接收功能更新。与Office零售版相比,Office365有两个核心优势:及时更新和灵活支付。对于消费市场中的消费者来说,一年仅需4500元的Office365显然比零售版的Office更具吸引力,后者相对昂贵。
H | 人们友好的价格和更好的服务也使许多有真实感但以高零售价停止使用盗版的用户不再有正当理由。尽管在编辑的几乎所有关于Office365的文章中,我们都充分肯定了Office365的灵活性和支付特点,但普通用户的Office365收费模式可能更为灵活。应用程序和服务的灵活性:不久前,我记得有位读者在评论部分说,他购买Office365是为了享受1TB的OneDrive云存储。他的评论让人们怀疑:我们需要办公室的所有东西吗?就编辑而言,尽管我们几乎每个人都在使用Office365的零售版本来增强商务或办公专业性,但在日常工作中,我们的编辑部门几乎只使用Word、Excel和OneDrive。
I | 其他应用程序,如Outlook、OneNote和PowerPoint,基本上处于长期忽视状态。编辑的需求虽然不能代表每个人的需求,但这至少表明并非每个人都需要办公室套件中的所有应用程序。例如,Office365个人版的价格是每年398元(辛辣商品的价格是每年298元)。订阅中包含的应用程序和服务包括Word、Excel、PowerPoint、OneNote、Outlook、Publisher(仅适用于Windows PC)、Access(仅适用于Windows PC)和OneDrive(1TB云存储空间)。对于许多人来说,超过一半的应用程序和服务很少被使用。其实没必要付钱。如果Office365为用户提供了更灵活的组件选择,那么只购买包含Word、Excel和OneDrive的Office365订阅似乎更划算。另一个例子是,如果他只订阅了1TB的OneDrive云存储(也许他已经有了Office的永久授权零售版本),微软就可以向消费市场提供订阅,该消费市场只包含1TB的OneDrive云存储,将价格定为每年100元以上,而苹果仅为6元。微软订阅50GB云存储(72元/年),对我们的读者一定很有吸引力。事实上,根据维基百科的说法,微软早期的办公软件是由Word、Excel和PowerPoint等组件单独销售的。
