日本皇宫林荫大道限时开放 百株樱花绽放迎春
日本皇宫将于3月29日至4月6日开放乾通林荫大道供公众赏樱，为期九天。
据共同社报道，乾通是一条长约750米的林荫道，连接东京站丸之内一侧的坂下门与乾门，途经宫内厅办公楼。沿途种植约100棵樱花树，包括染井吉野和重瓣樱等多个品种。此外，还有红叶类树木和赤松等植被点缀其间。
来自茨城县石冈市的74岁居民须藤首次前来参观，她面带笑容地说：“历史悠久的石垣与樱花相互映衬，令人感动。虽然下雨有些遗憾，但苔藓青葱鲜绿，雨天也有别样的美好。”
这一面向公众的开放活动始于2014年，为纪念上皇“伞寿”（80岁寿辰）而首次举办。自那时起，每年樱花盛开的春季和红叶绚烂的秋季，当局都会举行一次类似的开放活动，供大众欣赏乾通的美景。

The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last five trading days since the end of the two-day winning streak in which it had added more than a dozen points or 0.4 percent. The Straits Times Index now sits just above the 3,060-point plateau and it's likely to see a narrow trading range on Monday.
In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
