BERNAS | Charity Support for Orphanages

倘 Google 員工不幸身故,公司會在未來的十年。。。。。。



Google 出名對員工好。恨死隔離的免費食物、健身班、洗衣洗車服務等等講到天光都講唔晒。

根據 Mashable 轉述,Google 最近推出了保險措施,若員工不幸身故,公司會在未來十年給予員工配偶或夥伴身故員工原薪酬的50%作為支援。 

我認為此舉固然是一個慷慨的福利,但計落有多少員工無啦啦不幸身故呢?所以衣個政策的亮點是創意和公關效益。

深山老井


居於深井的好處:
  1. 租金相宜 (HKD 14k 可以有三房)
  2. 寧靜遠離煩囂
  3. 境色宜人(雙橋海景)
  4. Dog-friendly
  5. 物業在五年內升值潛力高,因為國際學校哈羅即將進駐及港鐵有望開通深井路段。
不過......
  1. 如果屯門工路有咩事,咁,就,嘿!
  2. 好曬
  3. 同時又好濕喎
  4. 飛機及船隻嘈音幾惡頂
樓市方面,龍頭屋園碧堤半島放盤不多且業主多為家庭自住,反而浪翠園較多租盤。

而既然已經成為居民,就轉載一下這一區的維基資料:

深井(Sham Tseng)位於香港新界荃灣的西北部,位置為汀九以西,青龍頭以東,以深井村為中心。而深井出產的燒鵝,也在香港相當馳名,除了燒鵝,深井也有多間不同種類的食肆在此設店,來自各國的美食進駐,包括中、西、意、印度等地的菜式,店鋪食肆超過十五間,所以深井有美食中心之稱。

深井有觸特的海灣,可遠眺青馬大橋馬灣島,天氣晴朗時更可看見香港國際機場的美景。在1980年代1990年代,多間發展商都在深井發展,目前沿海地區落成了多座屋苑,例如碧堤半島浪翠園等大型屋苑,都以海景及寧靜作賣點。

深井的釣魚灣,原本是游泳及拍拖勝地,但附近兩座大型建設(青馬大橋汀九橋)落成後,海水受到污染,已不適宜游泳,現在去釣魚灣的人,只會在沙灘上燒烤

Catch me if you can... browers and OS


This is the traffic statistics about my blog last month counting by types of browers and OS. I have never heard about some of the browers and OS, which should be some emerging technologies.

Are you the one using any one of them? Why and how are their performances?

I would love to hear the comments from you.

Cheers and have a nice weekend.

Blogging to make a living

From a cup of jo

Joanna of NYC talks about her story on blogging- how blogging as a hobby finally turned into a career.

When did your blog start making money?
As I said here, shifting from blogging-as-a-hobby to blogging-as-a-career was a very slow transition and one that I had never anticipated. After a year or so, I started featuring a few ads on my blog to earn some pocket money. And after a couple years, I quit my job to focus on freelance magazine writing and grow my blog, so it became about half my income. But only about a year ago did I finally realize that my blog had officially become my full-time job—both financially and time-wise. And I was happy and surprised. (Also here's my work/life balance post, if you'd like to know more.)

What are your favorite parts of blogging?
* Having a close relationship with my beloved readers. Starting the Motherhood Mondays column took the relationship to a new level, because we started discussing marriage, breastfeeding, depression, infertility, everything. Having these conversations has been an incredible, eye-opening, heartwarming experience.

* I LOVE LOVE LOVE when readers stop us in the street because it's so awesome to meet readers in person. Blogging can feel isolated sometimes, since you work on a laptop at home, so it's amazing to meet people. (And everyone is always so nice and cute!:)

* Writing about a bunch of different topics. If we do a bedroom makeover or I read a fascinating parenting book or I'm itching to write a guide to NYC, I can just do it. That's great, since when you work for a magazine, your "beat" tends to be much more limited. And the great thing is, if I start feeling in a rut, I can just shake things up. It's a real gift to have editorial control.

* Working with photographers, designers and illustrators. Now and again, I've worked with super talented people, like Jamie Beck, Jenny Komenda and Gemma Correll. It's been such a pleasure and honor. I'd love to do more collaborations in the future.

* Alex being awesome. Alex helps a lot with my blog, not so much in the nitty gritty, but just overarching conversations about ideas, worries, etc. He jokes that I'm the CEO, but he's the chief strategist, director of communications, personal chef, mailroom guy, and psychotherapist for Cup of Jo. :) And he's written a couple posts, including 8 confessions of a new dad and his side of the birth story.
