WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy was expected to lose $3 billion from the partial federal government shutdown over President Donald Trump’s demand for border wall funding, congressional researchers said on Monday as 800,000 federal employees returned to work after a 35-day unpaid furlough.The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the cost of the shutdown will make the U.S. economy 0.02 percent smaller than expected in 2019. More significant effects will be felt by individual businesses and workers, particularly those who went without pay.Overall, the U.S. economy lost about $11 billion during the five-week period, CBO said. However, CBO expects $8 billion to be recovered as the government reopens and employees receive back pay.The longest shutdown in U.S. history ended on Friday when Trump and Congress agreed to temporary government funding - without money for his wall - as the effects of the shutdown intensified across the country.Republican Trump had demanded that legislation to fund the government contain $5.7 billion for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He says it is necessary to stop illegal immigration, human trafficking and drug smuggling, while Democrats call it costly, inefficient and immoral.A committee of lawmakers from both major parties hold their first open meeting on Wednesday as they try to negotiate a compromise on border security before the Feb. 15 deadline.The CBO estimated the shutdown reduced gross domestic product in the last quarter of 2018 by $3 billion.It said that in the first quarter of 2019, the level of real GDP is estimated to be $8 billion lower than it would have been, citing “an effect reflecting both the five-week partial shutdown and the resumption in economic activity once funding resumed.”Trump said he would be willing to shut down the government again if lawmakers do not reach a deal he finds acceptable on border security. On Sunday, he expressed skepticism such an deal could be made, putting the odds at 50-50.Trump has also said he might declare a national emergency to get money for the border wall. Democrats would likely challenge that in court.The CBO report serves as a stark warning to Trump against another shut-down, Democratic lawmakers said.“Families across the nation are still trying to recover from a month of miss-ing paychecks and overdue bills, but the President is already threatening a second shutdown if he doesn’t get his way,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.Most employees should be paid by Thursday for back pay, which one study estimated at $6 billion for all those furloughed. Contractors and businesses that relied on federal workers’ business, however, face huge losses, although some lawmakers are pushing legislation to pay contractors back as well.Federal workers poured off of commuter buses and subway escalators on a block of downtown Washington on Monday. Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai greeted employees in the lobby, while the Securities and Exchange Commission offered doughnuts, fruit and coffee.“I’m ready to go. I’m rested and I’m ready. I’m energized,” Gary Hardy, a manager in the Employee Assistance Program at the Department of Home-land Security.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was reviewing five weeks of auto safety recalls that had been submitted by automakers, but has not yet begun posting them publicly. The Federal Aviation Administration said it would assess and prioritize immediate post-shutdown needs.court, a process which requires consensus among member states. As a result, the court is running out of judges, and will be unable to issue binding rulings in disputes.While the United States was among the signatory countries of the e-com-merce agreement, it did not participate in a separate informal WTO gather-ing chaired by Switzerland.U.S., China ‘miles and miles’ from trade deal - RossAzevedo said Washington’s absence was “totally and solely driven by domestic considerations” and unrelated to the country’s suspicions over the multilateral trading system.

As work continues on the initial stages of preparing the Astrodome for its new life as a parking and events venue, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo raised questions last week about the costs associated with redeveloping the former sports stadium.Harris County’s new judge, who recently toured the prop-erty with officials from NRG Park, said she learned that the $105 million the county allocated to the redevelop-ment project did not include air conditioning.“I’m looking to make sure the current plan is fiscally responsible and that it will get us to a point where the Astrodome is self-sustaining,” she said in an interview on Houston Public Media’s “Houston Matters.”Hidalgo declined to comment further, but current and former county officials said the renovation costs were nev-er meant to include traditional air conditioning. Rather, the climate inside would be maintained by a mechanical forced-air ventilation and convection-based system de-signed to keep the inside of the building more temperate when it is hot or cold outside.PRIOR COVERAGE: $105 million isn’t enough for AC? “The thought process was that further phases would bring in air conditioning,” said County Engineer John Blount, who is managing the project.Early last year, Harris County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to move forward with the $105 million proj-ect, which includes raising the stadium’s subterranean first floor to ground level and creating 1,400 parking spaces underneath.About a third of the cost would come from the county’s property tax-supported general fund. The remainder would be funded by hotel occupancy taxes and parking revenues.Work to prepare the Dome for redevelopment began in October with asbestos removal, a process that has taken several months.Future alterations need to be approved by the Texas His-torical Commission, which in 2016 designated the Dome a state antiquities landmark, giving it special protections against demolition and requiring that the commission sign off on the building’s renovations.

County Judge Lina Hidalgo questions Astrodome redevelopment costs

Some of the early construction work has been approved, Blount said, but plans to sub-mit an application for the next set of changes has been delayed until April in order to get the new administration up to speed.PRIME PROPERTY: Real estate, devel-opment and more. Keep up-to-date with what’s going on in your city with headlines delivered to your mailbox. The stadium, once was home to the Oilers and Astros, has not housed a profession-al sports team since the Astros moved to Minute Maid Park in 2000. NRG Stadium opened in the Dome complex two years later to serve as the home of the NFL’s Texans. The Houston fire marshal’s office declared the massive building unfit for occupancy in 2009.The idea behind the Astrodome redevelop-ment project was to help provide a source of revenue by renting the covered space for music festivals, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and other events.The rental income would help pay for maintenance and upgrades to the other buildings in NRG Park, including NRG Stadium.For Ed Emmett, Hidalgo’s predecessor, the Astro-dome project was never about nostalgia, but to keep the integrity of the NRG complex intact. The county has a contract with the rodeo and the Texans to maintain NRG Stadium in first-class condition.“Those tenants are going to start coming to the county saying we need this or that upgrade. There’s no revenue source to provide those upgrades without the Dome,” Emmet said.As far as the air conditioning, he said the idea was to make the space usable, “but not necessarily at 72 degrees.”“My purpose from day one was to create nine acres of indoor space protected from the weather, where it would be preferable than being outside,” Emmett said.

“Reliant Park and Harris County officials on Thursday announced the launch of a campaign to garner voter support for a plan to redevelop the Astrodome, with Harris County Judge Ed Emmett and Precinct 1 Commissioner El Fran-co Lee each pledging $5,000 to the effort. A referendum to fund the project will appear on the ballot this November. If approved, the county would issue up to $217 million in bonds to turn the now-vacant stadium into “The New Dome Experience,” an energy-efficient event center flanked by an “inviting” outdoor green space.” - September 13, 2013

COMMUNITYMillennials May Claim Another Victim: Harley

Davidson And The Classic American Motorcycle

Compiled And Edited By John T. Robbins, Southern Daily Editor

Younger buyers and older buyers have different reasons for buying motorcycles.Older buyers seem to buy bikes for hobby or recreation.

Younger buyers are more interested in ease of transportation.This has potentially profound implications for struggling companies such as

Harley-Davidson.

OVERVIEW

The supposed millennial penchant for “killing” industries gets thrown around a lot, but it could really be happening to one American icon: the Harley-Davidson motorcycle.Data suggest a considerable generational divide in attitudes toward heavyweight motorcycles, the sort of bikes sold by brands such as Harley and Polaris’ Indian brand, said UBS analyst Robin Farley in a note published Friday.It turns out that younger people do consid-er buying motorcycles, but for entirely dif-ferent reasons than older customers, and that has potentially profound implications for companies such as Harley-Davidson, which has been struggling with declining sales and an aging demographic.Shares of the motorcycle maker have fall-en 32 percent in the last 12 months.The survey’s most significant finding is that 21- to 34-year-olds consider buying a bike for “ease of transportation,” whereas older buyers purchase bikes “as a hobby” or because “motorcycles are cool.”This distinction is important, since the av-erage Harley-Davidson customer is a mar-ried man in his early 50s, with a household income at or above $90,000. These are the customers buying motorcycles out of a passion for the product or lifestyle.

Younger buyers appear to be more

motivated to consid-er motorcycles for practical reasons,

which means it is likely they will be more interested in less expensive bikes that

bring in lower margins for manufacturers.“We believe this significant divergence in incentives to buy a new bike could be what is partly behind Harley’s and broader heavyweight motorcycle industry’s chal-lenge to tap into a new segment of young-er riders to drive growth,” Farley said. “So unless there is a generational shift among younger riders to see motorcycling as a hobby vs. means of transportation, the outlook for the heavyweight industry could continue to be more dependent on an aging demographic.”It might not be all bad, though.“Perhaps one hopeful sign for the industry is that younger potential buyers cited the second most common reason to buy a mo-torcycle is that it ‘goes with their self-im-age,’” Farley said.Harley-Davidson has initiated an ambi-tious plan to lure 2 million more riders to the brand in 10 years. Among other things, the company is setting up riding schools around the country, and it is releasing an

electric motorcycle called the “Livewire.” The company also previewed two electric concept bikes earlier in January.

Officials at Polaris weren’t immedi-ately available to comment. Har-ley-Davidson told

CNBC the company has been aware of the demographic trend and it has been inform-ing the company’s strategy.“There’s nothing new here,” Harley-Da-vidson told CNBC in a statement. “Our advanced analytic capabilities allow us to deeply understand rider migration trends. In fact, our knowledge of riders informed our strategy to build the next generation of Harley-Davidson riders globally, which we launched in early 2017.”The survey polled 2,100 adults in the U.S. over the age of 21 from Sept. 1, 2018, to Sept. 21, 2018.

RelatedIs Harley-Davidson’s Vision for the Fu-

ture Realistic?Harley-Davidson (NYSE:HOG) released its “More Roads to Harley-Davidson” strategic roadmap in July, and though there are a number of interesting paths the company plans on taking, it ought to leave investors wondering just how realistic its goals are.While the multipoint plan is supposed to help the motorcycle maker achieve its vi-sion of bringing two million new riders to the brand, increasing international sales to half of its total volume, and introducing 100 new models in 10 years, a lot of it looks like a rehash of what has come be-fore from Harley-Davidson.Sure, the plan had a few bits of flash, such as an pedal-assisted electric bicycle that will follow the introduction of its Live-Wire electric motorcycle next year, and its entry into the adventure touring and streetfighter markets, but a lot of its ef-forts still seem centered on heavyweight motorcycles.

Electric bikes, big and small Harley is trying to create a high-power electric motorcycle market out of whole

cloth. The roadmap acknowledges that less than 1,000 such bikes were sold in the U.S. and Europe last year, but that’s where it is directing its initial efforts, even though it’s a completely off-brand bike that will be a tough sell. Beyond concerns about battery range, its core customers likely won’t buy into an electric bike, and the eco-conscious millennial riders that the bike is geared toward might not see Harley as one of their own.The scooters and pedal-assist electrics that Harley envisions aren’t scheduled for a few years yet, and they’re primarily going to be targeted to foreign markets where buyers are more accustomed to them. That’s not a bad move, but it’s one that still presents its own problems.For example, the small electrics are aimed at India, a market Royal Enfield virtually owns, selling over 700,000 bikes annu-ally, or about the combined sales of Har-ley-Davidson, KTM, BMW, Triumph, and Ducati. Harley plans on moving into other emerging Asian markets afterwards, but there’s no reason to think buyers will turn to Harley for their electric bike needs. As the roadmap points out, millions of small and mid-size electrics are sold there already.

(Photo/Harley Da-vidson)Not easy markets to break into

Similar problems exist with its two new adventure touring bikes, motorcycles de-signed for performance on road or off. First, Harley is marketing them as middle-weight bikes, but only in Harley’s world-view is a motorcycle with engine displace-ments of 975 cubic centimeters and 1,250 cubic centimeters a middleweight bike.Harley’s Pan America is also going to find it difficult to break into a field that is currently dominated by BMW and KTM. Just because the bar-and-shield has been slapped onto the tank doesn’t mean cus-tomers will suddenly buy it. Again, it’s a market Harley has little experience with and can’t be expected to lead, not when it has competitors like Royal Enfield, whose 410 cc Himalayan is a true mid-weight ad-venture touring bike.

(Photo/Harley Davidson)The streetfighter market -- streetfighter bikes are typically stripped-down,

aggressively styled sports bikes -- pres-ents the same issues for Harley, which lacks credibility in the space. It failed miserably when it owned the MV Agusta and Buell sports bike brands.Yet it is bringing to market as many as nine new bikes with displacements be-tween 500 ccs and 1,250 ccs, along with five custom motorcycles with similar dis-placements. Harley says it also plans to develop small-displacement bikes of 250 cc to 500 cc through “a planned strategic alliance with a manufacturer in Asia.”A payoff that might not materializeCertainly, the fact that Harley is paying attention to the lower end of the market at all is a welcome departure from tradition. It shows there’s an inkling of understand-ing that buyers are looking for options other than its hulking heavyweights, but there are other problems with the plan that make the company’s expectations for generating as much as $1.5 billion in in-cremental revenues and $250 million in operating profits impractical.Pricing is one of them. Although Har-ley-Davidson didn’t say what any of its new bikes would cost, the bike maker is known to protect its profit margins with big markups, and that’s why it typically refuses to engage in discounting. With its dealers hurting from the four-year sales slide, they’ll find it hard to accept cheap bikes that give them little margin room to play with. And if Harley’s motorcycles aren’t priced right, they’re not going to bring in the next generation of bikers that will be essential for its future success.Harley-Davidson is to be commended for finally thinking beyond its big, chromed-out motorcycles. But its latest roadmap might not be a realistic blueprint for its fu-ture prosperity, and investors may not see it as a clear pathway to growth.10 stocks we like better than Har-ley-DavidsonWhen investing geniuses David and Tom Gardner have a stock tip, it can pay to lis-ten. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Ad-visor, has quadrupled the market.*David and Tom just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for inves-tors to buy right now… and Harley-Da-vidson wasn’t one of them! That’s right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.(Courtesy fool.com)

正如火如荼進行中的年度獨立電影盛事

聖丹斯電影節打響2019年新片市場。今年共

有112部電影參展，涉獵許多有趣的故事主題

，包含死刑、千裏尋根、政治驚悚片等，及

幾部敏感的名人紀錄片，包含邁克爾·傑克遜

、哈維·韋恩斯坦等。聖丹斯影展今年也展現

對傑出女導演的認可，參展中45部是女導演

的作品。時光網疏理了今年聖丹斯片單後選

出20部值得關註的電影，壹起來看看！

《婚禮之後》：今年的聖丹斯影展開幕

夜電影從主創到主演都大有來頭。這是導演

巴特· 弗倫德裏希與“獨立電影皇後”朱麗

安·摩爾的再度合作。由米歇爾·威廉姆斯和

朱麗安·摩爾雙珠出任主演的《婚禮之後》翻

拍自2006年的同名電影，講述威廉姆斯飾演

飾演的印度孤兒院女經理，遠赴紐約尋求摩

爾飾演的富有名媛資助孤兒院經營。

2006年版《婚禮之後》的導演兼制作人

蘇珊娜·比爾，最近因執導的Netflix新片《蒙

上妳的眼》刷新知名度，新版《婚禮之後》

也搭乘這波熱潮成為今年的關註焦點。

《美國工廠》（暫譯）：要承接2018年

紀錄片《魯斯·巴德·金斯伯格》、《孿生陌

生人》的超高票房人氣，非屬紀錄片《美國

工廠》不可。這部參與者集資的紀錄片講述

2014年壹位中國富商接手美國俄亥俄州壹座

廢棄的通用汽車工廠，改為玻璃制作工廠並

雇請上千位藍領美國人員工，起步的蜜月期

很快就變調。

《告別婚禮》：獲得《綜藝》雜誌評選

2019年必關註導演之壹的華裔女導演王璐，

改編自己的家庭故事並執導這部尋根家庭喜

劇電影。電影找來好萊塢目前當紅華裔女星

奧卡菲娜擔綱主演，還有資深華裔演員馬泰

、移民澳洲的女演員林曉傑等，講述壹個華

人家庭的奶奶被診斷罹癌，但家人選擇隱瞞

奶奶，假借壹場婚禮的名義讓所有家人回家

見奶奶最後壹面。

但在紐約長大的比莉（奧卡菲娜飾演）

認為知道自己病況是奶奶的人權，因此在華

人家庭中上演壹場中西文化沖突。王璐是否

能精準傳達海外華人家庭的掙紮，讓影評人

很是期待。

《妳知道它之前》：這部出自聖丹斯導

演與編劇訓練實驗室的喜劇電影，由女導演

Hannah Pearl Utt執導編劇，更和共同編劇

Jen Tullock飾演的主角、壹對30多歲的姊妹

。他們發現已故的媽媽其實還活得好好的，

更在壹部肥皂劇擔綱主演。其他參與演出的

知名演員還有亞歷克·鮑德溫、曼迪·帕廷金

、與朱迪斯·賴特等。

《馭風男孩》：這部劇情電影是《為奴

十二年》男主角切瓦特·埃加福特的導演處女

作。 切瓦特·埃加福特還是自編自導自演，

故事改編自William Kamkwamba的同名小

說，講述壹位非洲男孩在圖書館讀到風力發

電機相關文章後，幫助他的馬拉維共和國村

民們壹起建造風力發電機的故事。有鑒於埃

加福特演什麽像什麽的無堅不摧演技，首次

執導的成果如何令人引頸期盼。

《寬厚》（暫譯）：另壹位《為奴十二

年》演員、艾美獎與金球獎得主阿爾法·沃德

，在女導演Chinonye Chukwu編導的新片

《寬厚》中飾演已執行死刑為業的女獄警，

在執行阿爾迪斯·霍奇飾演的死刑犯服刑之前

，兩人意外發展出緊密的關系，女獄警也因

此面對因特殊工作造成的心理陰影。

《寬厚》的劇本在2017年曾入選關註女

性電影的雅典電影節“雅典贏家名單”

（Athena List Winner），該名單獎勵傑出

、還未制作的女性角色劇本，兩年後終於搬

上大螢幕，又有影視雙棲、獲多次提名的阿

爾法·沃德加持，獲得不少關註。

《極端邪惡》：這部由紀錄片導演Joe

Berlinger執導的犯罪驚悚片，由好萊塢壹線

年輕演員紮克· 埃夫隆、卡雅· 斯考達裏

（《移動迷宮》系列）與奧莉莉·科林斯主演

。電影講述史上最著名的連環殺手之壹、臭

名昭著的強奸殺人犯泰德·邦迪（紮克·埃夫隆

飾），卡雅·斯考達裏奧飾演其前妻，莉莉·柯

林斯飾演他的女友伊麗莎白·克洛佩夫。影片

故事以伊麗莎白的視角展開，多年來邦迪都對

她隱瞞了自己的真實身份和殺人傾向。

《乖兒子》：由《變形金剛》系列打響

國際知名度的希亞·拉博夫，年僅30多歲就要

推出類傳記電影，把自己與父親的關系改編

成電影搬上大螢幕，並由《孟買海灘》、

《真·愛》女導演阿爾瑪·哈勒執導。英文片

名“Honey Boy“是父親給拉博夫取的小名

，但拉博夫在片中飾演父親，年輕的拉博夫

則由曾以《海邊的曼徹斯特》入圍奧斯卡最

佳男配的盧卡斯·赫奇斯飾演。 《乖兒子》

更入選今年聖丹斯影展的主競賽單元。

《我為人母》：執導廣告居多的Grant

Sputore首部劇情長片是由希拉裏·斯萬克主

演的科幻驚悚電影。故事講述人類絕種後被

設計來回復人類社會的機器人“母親“，扶

養壹位人類青少女長大，兩人培養出獨特的

關系卻受到壹位不請自來的陌生人威脅。電

影中使用的機器人是聖地牙哥動漫展常客、

道具服裝公司WETA Workshop制作，女演

員蘿絲·拜恩配音。

《深夜秀》：被譽為是今年聖丹斯影展

中商業實力最強的電影，以美國知名深夜脫

口秀主持人大衛· 萊特曼為角色模板的電影

《深夜秀》，艾瑪·湯普森在片中飾演壹位深

夜脫口秀主持人，試圖拓展工作人員的多元

性而雇請了壹位女性寫稿人，不料發現自己

多年經營的事業受到威脅。

《逃離夢幻島》：已故流行音樂天王邁

克爾·傑克遜的傳記紀錄片，聚焦在邁克爾與

兩位男童的“異常”關系。當邁克爾事業達

到頂峰時，他與兩位分別當時年僅七歲與10

歲的男孩發展成好朋友。目前30多歲兩人在

鏡頭前指控邁克爾對他們性侵。這部紀錄片

在制作時期就被邁克爾·傑克遜的遺產管理人

批評“只是另壹個消費麥可的可憐作品，”

未上映就引起不少討論。

《小木屋》：近年在聖丹斯影展紮穩根

基恐怖片目的地的名號，吸引不少新片，今

年以《小木屋》最受購買家關註。貓王的孫

女萊莉·科奧主演壹位即將成為繼母的年輕女

性，和兩位繼子被困在壹座偏僻的避寒小木

屋中。這原本是壹個培養親子感情的好機會

，卻被壹連串奇異事件打斷。

國著名演員，包含拉爾夫·費因斯、馬修·古

迪、茵迪拉·瓦瑪、馬特·史密斯等人。

《酷刑報告》：亞當·德賴弗雖然以商業

議題，德賴弗在斯科特· Z·本恩斯編導的《酷

(記者韋霓休斯敦報導) 如果問從台灣到美國的華裔朋友，最懷念台灣的什麼？許多人可能會回答：台灣小吃。是

的，無論是在傳統菜市場、或是夜市裡，一攤又一攤的台灣小吃，留有許多人童年的美好回憶。
