The conversation had just turned to
club ownership when Ian Watmore made the observation — second-hand,
he was keen to stress — that sensible and successful people have a
strange tendency to “leave their best judgment behind at the gates”
when they enter the mind- altering world of football. The same might be said of administrators, to judge from the experiences of some, though not quite all, of Watmore’s predecessors as chief executive of the FA. There was Graham Kelly, the football man who was forced to resign over an allegedly improper loan to the FA of Wales; there was Adam Crozier, the advertising executive who had barely begun his expensive facelift of the governing body when he decamped to Royal Mail; and there was Mark Palios, the insolvency practitioner who stood down over his handling of the unedifying scandal that arose from Sven- Göran Eriksson’s dalliance with a secretary. When Brian Barwick, a former television executive, departed last year with his dignity intact but his authority damaged, it seemed that the position was entering the same “impossible job” territory as the England manager’s role pre-Fabio Capello. But Watmore, a punk-loving Arsenal fanatic who previously served as permanent secretary for the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, has, like Capello, managed to make himself at home very quickly, going some way, he hopes, to addressing the recent criticisms made of the organisation by Gerry Sutcliffe, the Sports Minister. “One thing I have tried to do is go out and about around the game,” he said. “I’ve met most of my predecessors and the previous chairmen. I’ve tried to meet people from the professional clubs, right through to non-League clubs and the amateur game. I’ve met people who aren’t immediately obvious, but with each of them, there has been a purpose in seeking their viewpoint on football. If I disagree with it, fine, but at least I know why and I can piece it together. “That perception about the FA [in relation to Sutcliffe’s comments about the time taken to implement the recommendations of the Burns report] has been around for ever. For as long as I’ve been watching football and taking an interest, people have made those kind of complaints. That seems to be the nature of the beast. What I think you have to do is get beneath that and say, ‘What are the real issues and are we dealing with them?’ ” The real issues are numerous. Even with the England team on song — and the varying degrees of success enjoyed this summer by the under-21 and under-19 teams as well as the women’s senior and under-19 teams — there are plenty of sticks with which to beat the FA: the loss of sponsorship and broadcast contracts; the perceived lack of young English players emerging; the lack of progress made with the National Football Centre; the women’s game; the behaviour of players and spectators; even the Wembley pitch. All were discussed over the course of an hour in Watmore’s company, but let us go back to the issue raised about those clubs — and he was talking in general terms, not about Portsmouth, Notts County or anyone else — where sensible judgment gives way to wild risk-taking, threatening the existence of historic institutions that are intrinsic to their communities. “It’s easy to say there are good 阅读全文>> |
买回的螃蟹要当天吃才香,放两日,螃蟹饿瘦了,不好吃。 大闸蟹最经典的吃法其实是蒸,其他的都不好吃。 蒸之前先要清理,可以放在水盆里或者在流动水下,用刷子刷洗螃蟹的全身,边边角角都刷洗干净了。一定要小心,不要被螃蟹大钳子“夹”着,所以,就这样五花大绑地刷螃蟹吧,虽然比较费力,但是安全。 螃蟹清理干净后,在蒸锅中放足量水大火烧开,然后放入螃蟹蒸熟即可。话说简单,其实也有要点滴: ·螃蟹根据个大小,8-10分钟即可,最大的蟹15分钟也熟了,不然蒸久了,肉老而且黄也会“飞出”; ·最核心的,螃蟹要捆绑着,而且仰面蒸,这样螃蟹腿不掉、黄也不会流出,千万记得! |
高歌现任北京航空航天大学能源动力学院动力工程及工程热物理学科一级责任教授,航空发动机气动热力国防重点实验室副主任,长期从事动力工程、工程热物理及流体力学领域的教学与科研工作,并在基础科研和多学科的应用技术领域取得了一系列国际领先水平的创新性科研成果。他在1984年发明的"沙丘驻涡火焰稳定器",获国家发明一等奖,钱学森同志称之为"一项长中国人志气的重要发明"。该成果广泛应用于我国多种军用航空发动机中,取得了数以亿元计的经济效益,至今仍保有先进水平。本刊记者于今年10月采访了高歌教授,了解到了他近期从事的一些前沿科研工作的最新进展,尤其是他对龙卷风的研究及其工程应用价值,让人耳目一新。
高歌教授在采访中提到,传统的航空发动机技术虽然还在不停地改进提高之中,但受到原理和材料工艺上的限制,已经逐渐逼近了性能发展的极限。目前虽然涌现出一些新型航空发动机技术,但仍然没有走出依靠压力膨胀过程来实现热功转换的思路。他强调,人们应该另辟蹊径,寻找其他可用的工作原理。为此,他研究了自然界龙卷风的形成与强化机制,发明了一项称为"余热增推"的技术,直接利用龙卷旋涡实现热功转换并提取能量,用以提高航空发动机的推力和 |
