Ocean Park, in collaboration with the Sichuan Forestry Department, will be presenting Sichuan Week, during which the Park will play host to the exclusive presentation of “Pandaful Art – Global Exhibition”, a world-touring exhibition featuring over 20 giant panda-themed artworks, all showcased in Hong Kong for the first time, by five renowned artists from China, Spain and France, at the Applause Pavilion from 20 to 29 May. The exhibition venue will also feature interactive multimedia displays to advocate for wildlife conservation and deepen guests’ understanding about the work of nature reserves in Sichuan Province. The Parktoday also provided updates on the health conditions of the Park’s four giant pandas, including aged pandas An An and Jia Jia, who are both in satisfactory health despite living with common geriatric conditions; and Ying Ying and Le Le, who have resumed their normal routine after the conclusion of their two-day mating season last month. Although Ying Ying has not displayed any signs of pregnancy, animal carers will continue to closely monitor her condition and ensure she receives the best care.

Mr. Yao Sidan, Director of Sichuan Forestry Department, said, “Last year, Ocean Park and Sichuan Forestry Department signed a memorandum of understanding on further collaboration in conservation and education efforts. We are grateful to Ocean Park for their dedication and contributions, and for co-organising Sichuan Week to raise awareness of wildlife conservation and promote cultural exchange between Sichuan and Hong Kong.”

Mr. Matthias Li, Chief Executive-elect of Ocean Park, said, “Ocean Park is committed to fulfilling its educational mission through diverse approaches. The panda-themed art exhibition enables us to further expand our educational platform by raising concern for wildlife through art. To help the public connect with nature, we signed a new agreement today with Sichuan Forestry Department to collaborate on various initiatives from now until 2020, including the display of videos and images captured in the wild in Sichuan; and furthering exchange on training and enhance public awareness about wildlife conservation through different initiatives in Hong Kong and Sichuan. Besides presenting animal ambassadors and educational programmes, we will also join hands with the different nature reserves in Sichuan to organise eco-tours to the resource-rich Sichuan province, enabling the public to encounter giant pandas and various rare animals and learn about their habitats. Participants can better understand the importance of nature conservation and adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives.”

Latest Update on the Park’s Four Giant Pandas

Le Le 2

Having been living in Ocean Park for 17 years, Jia Jia and An An, respectively the world’s oldest-ever giant panda and second oldest male panda under human care have been making significant contributions in promoting panda conservation. Before coming to Hong Kong, Jia Jia had already given birth five times to six panda cubs, making her a model mom. Her daughter Guo Guo took after her by giving birth five times to eight cubs, including Ping Ping and An An, the first set of pandas born after the Sichuan Earthquake worldwide. And Jia Jia’s youngest great-granddaughter, Bing Bing, is now 9-month old.

Both in advanced age, Jia Jia and An An, are living with geriatric conditions such as high blood pressure and cateracts. Whilst their conditions are often negatively affected by seasonal changes, they are considered in satisfactory health. Mr. Howard Chuk, Senior Curator of Terrestrial Life Sciences of Ocean Park, said, “We care for the two older giant pandas very much like senior members of our family, so ensuring they can enjoy the highest possible quality of life is our utmost priority. Their respective ages, 37 and 29, are equivalent to 111 and 87 in human age. Jia Jia’s right eye has recently caused lens dislocation, which could potentially lead to permanent blindness. Even though the lens had slipped back into position after the application of medicated eye drops, recurrence of lens dislocation is probable. Nevertheless, Jia Jia has been particularly vulnerable during the summer in recent years, often exhibiting lethargy and a lack of appetite. Although An An is younger than Jia Jia by eight years, the pace of his aging is also concerning. Indeed, he is less able than Jia Jia in chewing bamboo leaves. Our animal care team will continue to closely monitor their condition and consult giant panda experts in Sichuan to relieve any discomfort they may experience and develop the most appropriate treatment plan while keeping their best interest in mind.”

Mr. Howard Chuk added, “Our younger giant pandas Ying Ying and Le Le completed their sixth mating season last month. Natural mating attempts were observed but were unsuccessful. The Park also administered artificial insemination on Ying Ying twice in hopes of increasing her chances of pregnancy. Ying Ying’s conditions will continue to be closely monitored by our animal care team on a daily basis through periodic behavioural observation, as well as blood and urine sample collection. If she becomes pregnant, we expect to observe signs in late July of this year at the earliest.”

World-touring Panda-themed Art Exhibition Stages in Hong Kong for First Time

Presented in Hong Kong for the first time, the world-touring panda-themed art exhibition, “Pandaful Art – Global Exhibition”, features over 20 pieces of artworks created by five artists who have taken inspiration from the giant panda. Every piece of artwork portrays the creator’s affections, memories and reflections of the giant panda, and together inject a variety of styles and creativity into the exhibition. Among the exhibiting artworks are photos of panda cubs with adorable postures caught on camera by Mr. Zhang Zhihe from Chengdu Panda Base; oil paintings which integrates elements in everyday life with surrealism created by Zhang Qikai, a surrealist painter from China; visually impactful oil paintings produced by France-based Chinese artist Tian Ye; sculptures using three primary colours, red, white and blue by Spanish artist Alejandro Santafé; and art installations created by combinng different textures by French artist Camille Rophé. Before arriving in Hong Kong, the exhibition was presented in Yongin in Korea and will next travel to Beijing, Tokyo and other worldwide locations.

Interactive Multimedia Displays Showcase Wildlife Conservation in Sichuan

In addition to panda-themed artworks, the Applause Pavilion will feature a number of interactive multimedia displays to allow guests to learn about Sichuan wildlife and conservation. Displays include footage of China’s two largest panda bases in Dujiangyan; an interactive panel presenting information on seven protected areas in Sichuan, including Wolong, Chengdu Zoo, Chengdu Panda Base, etc. A video showing the development process of a panda cub will be aired at the interactive photo zone to offer guests unique photo opportunities with adorable panda cubs as the backdrop. Visitors can also ponder over 40 precious infra-red photographs of Sichuan wildlife such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, red pandas and more. The photographs offer a unique and rare glimpse into the animals’ natural behaviour and habitat in the wild. Guests can also cast a vote in support of their favourite protected area to receive in-park spending vouchers. Upon returning the completed voting forms to the collection box located inside Rainbow Gallery, guests will receive a HK$100 souvenir discount coupon (with minimum spending of HK$300).

Besides working with the Sichuan Forestry Department on a wide range of conservation and education initiatives,Ocean Park previously participated in various post-earthquake reconstruction projects in Sichuan. In 2013, OceanPark signed the “Sichuan-Hong Kong Wolong Post-Reconstruction Collaboration Agreement” with the Development Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Sichuan Forestry Department to collaborate on the sustainable development of Wolong, and was appointed by the HKSAR Government in 2014 as the Administrator of the Sichuan-Hong Kong Wolong Post-Reconstruction Collaboration. Among the 25 collaborative projects, “The Wolong Sustaining Tourism Development Plan” is one of the key projects which aims to help Wolong make the best use of HKSAR-funded facilities, and complement resources in the nature reserve to develop eco-tourism, thereby achieving balance among conservation, economic progress and social development. Besides, in the past two fiscal years, Ocean Park Conservation Foundation, Hong Kong (OPCFHK)sponsored three workshops on panda disease and pathology. Ocean Park’s veterinary and research teams also joined the workshop to share their experience in animal care and the promotion of conservation with mainland participants. Since 2000, OPCFHK has allocated more than HK$24 million in funding giant panda conservation projects, supporting scientific research, community education and rebuilding of nature reserves.

Spicy Sichuan Dishes Challenges “Heat” Tolerance and Limited-period Discounts to Treat Panda Fans

Ocean Park has invited Master Chef Yang Xihui from Sichuan, China to lead the preparation of various most typical Chuan dishes that combine numbing heat, spicy hot, fresh and piquant aromas, offering our guests a unique opportunity to appreciate the fresh and hot-spicy taste of authentic Chuan cuisine. From 19 to 31 May, guests can visit Panda Café, and enjoy over a dozen signature dishes, specially selected by Chef Yang, including Sliced Boiled Pork Rolls with Mushed Garlic Sauce, which highlights the chef’s exquisite slicing skills; Stir-fried Marinated Duck Tougues with Sichuan Chili; and Sautéed Shredded Beef with Bamboo Shoot in Chili Sauce which features a selection of chilies and peppercorn.

During Sichuan Week, guests can also enjoy 30% discount on all panda merchandise, and receive a panda-themed face painting service at the special price of HK$20 if they purchase a giant panda headband. Other discounts during Lovely Panda Month remain on offer, including two-for-the-price-of-one offer for “Honorary Panda Keeper Programme”; exclusive for local guests, the Park is also offering up to 25% discount for up to two admission tickets purchased on the same day to guests whose Chinese or English name matches specified characters or letters related to the theme of panda. (Details can be found on Ocean Park’s official website).

Ocean Park Conservation Foundation, Hong Kong Releases Promotional Photos from “Step Up for Our Oceans” Campaign

Raymond Lam, Ken Hung, Guo Jingjing Join OPCFHK Chair Judy Chen in
Call for Public to Support July 2 Flag Day

Ocean Park Conservation Foundation, Hong Kong (OPCFHK) will launch on May 15 a new promotion under the “Step Up for Our Oceans” campaign. Renowned celebrities Raymond Lam and Ken Hung collaborated for the first time with diving queen Guo Jingjing and Ms. Judy Chen, JP, Chair of OPCFHK, to appear in a television commercial. They dressed like corals and coral fish by donning colourful headdresses. Initiated to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity, the campaign calls on the Hong Kong public to “Step Up for Our Oceans” and help maintain marine ecological balance. The television commercial will premiere on all major television channels on May 20. In addition, OPCFHK volunteers will all “Step Up” during the Foundation’s Kowloon Region Flag Day on July 2 to raise funds for its conservation efforts on local marine mammal stranding response, scientific projects of local species, and local community education programmes.

Ms. Judy Chen, Chair of OPCFHK said, “Encouraged by the overwhelming success of the ‘Speak Up for Our Oceans’ campaign launched two years ago, OPCFHK has developed a follow-up campaign entitled ‘Step Up for Our Oceans’. We are grateful to have Raymond Lam, Ken Hung and Guo Jingjing joining hands to help spread marine conservation messages. For our Kowloon Region Flag Day on July 2, we have designed a collection of 60 stickers featuring photos of precious Asian wildlife, including the Chinese white dolphin, the giant panda and the Chinese crested tern, an endangered species with less than 100 individuals in the wild. We hope the public would donate in support of our conservation efforts as they enjoy the summer sun and fun.”

Ms. Suzanne Gendron, Foundation Director of OPCFHK, said, “Through the ‘Step Up for Our Oceans’ slogan, we hope to arouse public concern for biodiversity and engage them to support actions that will preserve biodiversity – the idea that each species on this planet has its own unique role in nature and that we don’t want to lose them. To better live in habitats like forests, rivers, mangroves, rocky shores and coral reefs, diverse species evolve and develop different traits and together flourish in the circle of life. Biodiversity stands for the variety of species, habitats and genes. The high variety of species strengthens the resilience of the ecosystem, helping the nature maintain balance despite environmental changes. With human exploitation depleting resources beyond their natural regenerative capacity, around 12,000 species of flora and fauna are now threatened, which in turn puts other species at risk of extinction. That’s why it is so important that everyone works together to help maintain the precarious balance of nature and a healthy ocean.”

Raymond Lam and Ken Hung, both appearing in the OPCFHK commercial for the first time, noted that they found the opportunity to “Step Up for Our Oceans” extremely meaningful. Featuring adorable and dazzling visual effects, the commercial inspires reflection on the importance of maintaining the ecological balance by unleashing viewers’ imagination. Raymond and Ken appear as corals, which are critical to ocean heath. They are joined by delightful kids playing octopuses, crabs and fish.

Raymond Lam, a nature lover, said, “Every time when I get to observe the diverse marine life in the ocean, it fills my heart with the wonder of the oceans and made me appreciate the interrelationships among marine species. Being a part of the nature, humans should do our part to protect our beautiful home.”

Ken Hung, also an ocean lover, said, “My earlier experience at OPCFHK’s Run for Survival has already impressed me with the importance of marine conservation, which is why I am excited to play a role in this campaign. Future generations will still be able to admire the diversity of marine life if everyone can help minimize marine pollution in their daily life, such as by using less one-off disposable items and bringing your own water bottle.”

The life of OPCFHK’s Marine Conservation Ambassador Guo Jingjing has been inseparable from water since an early age. During the production of the commercial, Guo Jingjing, in her role as a coral, received kisses on her cheek by kids playing reef fish. Their adorable and intimate interactions brought out the inextricable relationships among marine species. Calling on the public to support OPCFHK Flag Day, she said, “Since its expansion in 2005, OPCFHK has been committed to advocating, facilitating and participating in effective conservation of Asian wildlife, with an emphasis on Chinese white dolphins and giant pandas, as well as their habitats. On July 2, OPCFHK is going to organize a Kowloon Region Flag Day to raise funds for its conservation efforts on cetaceans, horseshoe crabs and reef fish. I hope the public can ‘Step Up for Our Oceans’ by volunteering or donating to purchase a flag.”

OPCFHK has specifically selected six endangered or threatened species that are featured in a limited-edition Education Booklet, available for sale before the Flag Day to raise public concern and actions for biodiversity and marine conservation. Members of the public with a passion for conservation can order the booklet by email (opcf@oceanpark.com.hk), or register to become a volunteer by visiting OPCFHK’s website.

Goldman Sachs Returnship Program

Goldman Sachs Returnship Program

Start Your Journey Back to Work with the Goldman Sachs Returnship® Program

Goldman Sachs 2

The Goldman Sachs Returnship program helps to develop talented professionals who are looking to restart their careers after an extended absence from the workforce.

Goldman Sachs values diverse perspectives and experiences, and aspires to see the potential in every professional. Research shows that individuals who have taken a career break, primarily women, experience great difficulty when attempting to restart their careers. To that end, Goldman Sachs is committed to help facilitate the “on-ramping” process through the Returnship program.

The Goldman Sachs Returnship program was specifically designed for those who left the workforce for two or more years and are ready to return. This paid, ten-week program offers opportunities in a variety of divisions and the chance to experience the vast network of resources at Goldman Sachs. The program launched in the fall of 2008 in the Americas, and given its success, the program has expanded globally.

In the same way that an internship offers a guided period of exploration, a “returnship” provides individuals with an opportunity to sharpen their skills in a work environment that may have changed significantly since their last experience as an employee. It also gives participants the ability to explore a new area of expertise and learn new skills.

Whether it leads to a full-time career, or serves to sharpen the skills necessary to take the next step, the Goldman Sachs Returnship Program is a valuable experience for anyone who’s ready to re-enter the workforce.

馬雲:員工離職的原因,只有2點才是真的 【Resign】

馬雲說:
員工離職的原因,只有兩點最真實:

錢,沒給到位;
心,委屈了。

這些歸根到底 就一條:”幹得不爽”

員工臨走還費盡心思找靠譜的理由,就是為給你留面子,
不想說穿你的管理有多爛、他對你已失望透頂。
仔細想想,真是人性本善。

作為管理者,定要樂於反省。
想帶團隊,當老闆
你得問自己,

別人為什麼要跟著你混?

 

團隊,你要做好8
授人以魚:給員工養家糊口的錢。
授人以漁:教會員工做事情的方法和思路;
授人以欲:激發員工上進的欲望,讓員工樹立自己的目標;
授人以娛:把快樂帶到工作中,讓員工獲得幸福 ;
授人以愚:告訴團隊做事情扎實、穩重,大智若愚,不可走捷徑和投機取巧。
授人以遇:給予創造團隊成長,學習,發展的機遇,成就人生。
授人以譽:幫助團隊成員獲得精神層面的讚譽,為成為更有價值的人而戰,光宗耀
授人以宇:上升到靈魂層次,頓悟宇宙運行智慧,樂享不惑人生 。

 

想成 第一流的領導
你要經歷這

想想看,
如果你是下屬, 現在你在哪一級?
如果你已經在管理層,你又在第幾級呢?

一流管理者:自己不幹,下屬快樂的幹;
二流管理者:自己不幹,下屬拼命的幹;
三流管理者:自己不幹,下屬主動的幹;
四流管理者:自己幹,下屬跟著幹;
五流管理者:自己幹,下屬沒事幹;
末流管理者:自己幹,下屬對著幹。

 

怎麼樣留住人才?
必須給員工4個機會:

  1. 做事的機會,
  2. 賺錢的機會,
  3. 成長的機會,
  4. 發展的機會!

 

此外,
你必須經營員工 4個感覺:
依序應該是…

  1. 目標感,
  2. 安全感,
  3. 歸屬感,
  4. 成就感!

 

好領導,如何培養人才?

【父親節快樂】原來馬雲、馬化騰、李彥宏、柳傳志、任正非的父親是這麼教孩子的! 【Meaningful】

【父親節快樂】原來馬雲、馬化騰、李彥宏、柳傳志、任正非的父親是這麼教孩子的! 【Meaningful】

記憶里,父親總是不苟言笑,比起母親的絮絮叨叨,他更像一個冷靜的旁觀者,默默守護在孩子身邊。西班牙詩人塞萬提斯曾說過:父親的德行是兒子最好的遺產。這在如今叱吒商界的馬雲、馬化騰、李彥宏、柳傳志、任正非身上均有體現,他們的成長無一不受父親的熏陶,終而成為獨當一面的優秀企業家。

港鐵沿線屋苑住戶月入中位數 【Property】

港鐵沿線屋苑住戶月入中位數 【Property】

梁啟智博士 (Professor Leung Kai Chi, CUHK Professor 中大學生事務處社會及公民參與組主任) 製作了以下圖《港鐵沿線屋苑住戶月入中位數》, 比較港鐵87個站沿綫屋苑住戶的月入中位數,了解香港貧富懸殊的情況,發現隔一條街收入可以相差幾倍。

至於全港月入中位數最高同最低嘅屋苑就分別係:

港島
最高:寶翠園       $93,580
最低:明華大廈   $14,040


九龍

最高:擎天半島   $88,580
最低:石硤尾邨   $10,000


新界

最高:駿景園                                   $83,600
最低:沙角邨、碩門邨、福來邨   $10,000


港鐵沿線屋苑住戶月入中位數首5位

  排名    車站            屋苑              月入中位數(元)
    1        香港大學    寳翠園          $93,580
    2        九龍            擎天半島     $88,580
    3        馬場            駿景園         $83,600
    4        紅磡            半島豪庭     $70,000
    5        恆安            聽濤雅苑     $65,780


港鐵沿線屋苑住戶月入中位數最後5位

  排名    車站            屋苑              月入中位數(元)
     1        石硤尾       石硤尾邨      $10,000
     1        沙田圍       沙角邨          $10,000
     1        荃灣           福來邨          $10,000
     1       石門            碩門邨          $10,000
     5      彩虹             彩虹邨          $10,540

 

研究方法:數據來自2011年人口普查。入選屋苑居住人數必須高於3000人或住戶數目必須多於1000個。以港鐵站上蓋屋苑為代表,如無上蓋屋苑則以二百五十米範圍內人口最多的屋苑為代表。如兩者皆無,則以港鐵站所處的區議會選區為代表。

 

黑字:私人屋苑或資助出售屋苑
藍字:資助出租屋苑(包括已售單位)
綠字:區議會選區

LISTEN NOW to【普通的人】 詩歌:

 

Lyrics:

像那小男孩的餅和魚,讓我獻給主。
就算多寒微,祂不介意,全盡我心思。
無論是多少,全是不緊要。
在我主手中,一切也奇妙。
在這一世裡不管錯對,讓我再奔跑。
就算多平凡,都不計較,神是我倚靠。
人若逆風上,能力多牽強。憑著主力量,祂給我保障。

我是個普通的人,沒有可誇口。
但我什麼都有可能,神在我背後。
奉獻我僅有,神大愛深厚。

欠缺裡沒有還是夠。

哪怕我沒有常足夠。
