Shanghai bans multiple property buys 上海出台楼市限购令
A new regulation in Shanghai which aims to cool the booming property market will prevent residents from purchasing more than one home within a certain period of time, the Oriental Morning Post reported. The regulation, which went into effect Thursday, is regarded as preparation for the city property tax that will begin in January. People who do not comply with the regulation will not be able to register their new homes. 据上海《东方早报》报道,上海10月7日出台了楼市调控细则,规定每户只能在上海新购一套住房(含二手住房)。上海此项严格的限购令旨在为上海地方楼市降温、为明年1月试点实施的房产税做铺垫工作。违反规定所购房屋,将不被受理房地产登记。

Nanny can't get overtime pay

保姆加班工资不翻倍
Nanjing resident Zhu felt troubled recently because her nanny requested triple pay to work during the national holidays and demanded paid leave, the Jiefang Daily reported. Officials said only people who are protected by the labor law can enjoy extra pay during holidays. So if the nanny is a full-time employee of a housekeeping service company with a staffing structure and has signed a labor contract with the company, then she can have paid leave and double or triple pay. 据《解放日报》报道,近日,南京市民朱女士的保姆向她索要3倍工资并表示国庆节后还要带薪补假,令其苦恼不已。相关官员就此表示,国家法定节假日加班工资只与受《劳动法》保护的人群有关。除非保姆所在的家政公司实行员工制,并且该保姆与家政公司签订劳动合同成为全日制员工,她才能享受带薪休假和翻倍乃至三倍的工资。
Student bought drugs for ex-teacher 谢师恩学生请老师吸毒
A college student in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, was arrested in June after buying drugs for his former middle-school teacher, Chengdu Evening News reported. Chen Shuang bought 200 yuan of methamphetamine for Li Hua on June 11 to show his appreciation. Local police arrested both shortly after. Prosecutors decided not to charge him with a crime, which would "ruin the boy's college life." Li was fired from his school. 据《成都晚报》报道,成都一名大学新生,今年6月因请往日中学恩师吸毒被警方带走。这名学生陈双为感谢恩师李华,买了200元的冰毒,二人在宾馆房间里吸,不久被警察抓获拘留。检察机关考虑到其刚刚入学,如采取逮捕,将毁其大学生涯,故免于批捕。李华则被校方开除。
Car pollution linked to breast cancer 汽车尾气或致乳腺癌
A new study from McGill University and the Universite de Montreal shows that traffic-related air pollution may put women at risk for breast cancer, the Edmonton Journal reported. Researchers charted incidences of breast cancer and compared them with pollution maps. The team says its results were "startling" and showed the incidence of breast cancer increased in areas with higher levels of air pollution. "We found a link between post-menopausal breast cancer and exposure to nitrogen dioxide, which is a marker for traffic-related air pollution," said co-author Mark Goldberg in a press release. "Women living in the areas with the highest levels of pollution were almost twice as likely to develop breast cancer as those living in the least polluted areas." 据加拿大《埃德蒙顿报》报道,加拿大麦吉尔大学健康中心完成的一项新研究发现,汽车尾气污染与乳腺癌发病率有密切联系。专家绘制了乳腺癌发病与空气污染之间的关联性地图。结果发现,空气污染越严重的地区,乳腺癌的发病率越高。新研究主持人马克·戈德伯格表示,绝经后患乳腺癌的女性与暴露于二氧化氮(与交通有关的空气污染的一大指标)环境有关。生活在空气污染最严重地区的妇女,罹患乳腺癌的危险是空气污染最轻地区妇女的两倍。
