   Last month, Ben Schlappig’s Instagram page showed him jetting out of Beijing, dining on coffee and cake in Germany and marveling at the Los Angeles skyline from the top of Mulholl and Drive. While the pictures suggest that the 25-year-old is on some extended vacation-he is not. This is his life and job.
   Last year, when Schlappig’s lease ended, he packed his entire life into a few suitcases and started flying around the world full time, using his expert knowledge of airline reward programs to fly at practically no cost at all.“I’m very fortunate in that I do what I love, ”Schlappig said in an interview with RollingStone. “An airplane is my bedroom. It’s myoffice, and it’s my playroom.”
   Schlappig is part of a community knownas “Hobbyists,” who have been out smarting the airlines on their own reward programs fordecades, using their frequent flyer statuses, credit card incentives and mistakes in airline ticketing algorithms[運算法则] to get them free tickets around the world.
   It’s a community New York born Schlappig has been a part of since he was 13, when he discovered the Hobby website Flyer Talk and started learning the tricks of the trade on the site’s online discussion boards.
   Never having really fit in at school, Schlappig spent a lot of time online mastering the art of the Hobby and within a year started spending his weekend flying across the country on back to back flights, never even leaving the airport, to stack up thousands of frequent fly ermiles.“It was an interesting hobby,” his dad Arno said. “I said, Hey! Keep it up. It’s better than smoking pot.”
   When his lease ended in April 2014, he packed all of his belongings into a few black suitcases and started traveling the world fulltime. He estimates that he spends about six hours a day in the sky, and when he’s not flying, he lives in five-star hotels wherever he chooses. While not having a permanent city to call home would make most crazy, Schlappig says the closest place to his home is an airplane cabin or lounge, though he does admitto sometimes getting lonely. “The world is so big, I can keep running,” Schlappig says.“At the same time, it makes you realize the world is so small.”

内容提要 在现代化的背景下,近代中国的国家建设内在逻辑是建立一个具有现代性集权的民族国家,具体而言就是必须建立一个具有高度合法性和有效性的中央集权政府。而在近代中国的特殊历史情景里,中国社会连续出现了权威危机,导致政治秩序混乱无序,致使近代中国国家建设在弱势权威的无力支撑下仓促展开。不论是北洋军绅政权还是国民党的党治体制都难以彻底化解这种危机,并最终因为无法形成有力的现代性集权政权而移交出建设现代
1  读小学四年级时,我代表学校参加市里的写作比赛。进入决赛后,有一个现场答辩环节,其中的一道题目是“描述一下自己的母亲”。我几乎是脱口而出:“母亲最与众不同的就是她的味道。”记忆中,别人的母亲衣袖间总是有一股淡淡的郁美净或洗发水的香气,而我的母亲身上带着的却是一股浓浓的中药味。她是一名中医,每天和药材相处的时间都在两位数以上,熬到最后,自己也变成了一味替病人治心的草药。  回程的大巴车上,一起参
随着高铁的迅猛发展,以其高效、便捷、舒适性为特点的中国快速铁路成为老百姓出行的必备交通工具,在民生发展中起着不可替代的作用。  建国70年间,中国铁路以前所未有的“加速度”跑出了新中国发展的新高度。从建国初期的路网稀疏、线单站散,到“四纵四横”的形成,再到“八纵八横”雄伟蓝图的呼之欲出,中国铁路建设的步伐越迈越大,現已占全球高铁运营总里程的2/3。70年风雨兼程,中国铁路已拥有了世界上最现代化的铁
I took my three-year-old son, Jack, to the supermarket. Jack got tired of walking, so I made him ride on my shoulders. As I walked, Jack began pulling my hair. Although I asked him calmly to stop seve
我复读了,在过完8岁的那个暑假。  复读的这所学校我再熟悉不过了。进入校门,是两排整齐的杨树,每年10月份,就变成一边绿一边黄,伴着纷纷扬扬的落叶,这是一年中最美的季节。旁边是怡园,那有一条狭长曲折又破落的小廊,顶上挂着零落的野葡萄串。廊子外面是一排雕像,这算是个少有人来的地方,雕像上已经落满了灰,又长满了藤蔓。不远处立着一座凉亭,经久没有人迹,依稀还可辨别出这儿曾有过一条沟渠。实训楼背面有一片桑
内容提要 2007年颁布实施的《物权法》,扩大了担保财产范围,增强了对债权人担保物权的保护,是担保物权制度的一次重要改革。本文运用双重差分模型,以2000-2016年A股上市公司为样本,研究了以《物权法》实施为标志的担保物权制度改革如何影响企业创新。研究发现:相较于对债务资本依赖度较低的公司,担保物权制度改革显著提高了对债务资本依赖度较高公司的创新水平;非国有企业产权性质与产品市场竞争度对上述结果
We have all heard it: these are 1)supposedly the best years of our lives.   But are these years really the best years we will ever live? Or will we look back on these years with a sense of regret?  
Close your eyes, open your heart,  Concentrate hard, get ready to start.  It is almost time to lift off and fly.  Believe in yourself and you’ll fly very high.  Open your wings, spread them out.  This
自从春晚走进了电视,就很少现场看戏了。因为春晚的高档次,把我们的胃口看大了,一般的戏竟然入不了眼,所以,不像小时候,一听说有戏看,连饭都不想吃,哪怕就是看一场街头艺人耍的猴把戏。   那天夜晚,是个意外的惊喜。中央民族歌舞团来到了长阳,我的印象里除了10年前央视“新视听”栏目组来清江“飙过一次山歌”,中央一级的歌舞剧团在清江演出并不多见。   于是,我赶紧想法弄到了四张票,一定要陪父母
