老闆不需要牛。
但是，在獨立工作能力和團隊合作精神之間有沒有衝突？

A boss doesn't need an ox.
However, is there any conflict between independent working ability and teamwork spirit?

主管對我說：「Samson, 下學期你需要參與更多設置教科書銷售場地的工作，因為我們遲些可能不會僱用有經驗的兼職工作人員。」

"You need to involve more in coming semester regarding setting up the selling site of textbook. It is because we may not employ experienced part-time staff later on.", my boss said.

店長對主管說：「那些工作，Samson 會全權負責。」

"Samson will be in charge of those work", assistant supervisor said.

聖誕感言

首先，板主沒有宗教信仰。

耶穌降世是為人類受罪，

聖誕又怎會是快樂?

我們最多只會感到平安。

德蘭修女曾把聖誕大餐給窮苦人吃；

同事在香港見過露宿者在佳節收到五六個飯盒。

香港物質豐富，

但香港人心中不富有。

現在的聖誕過於商業化，

慢慢失去了宗教意義。

玩樂吃飽後還剩下甚麼?

之後又繼續工作，

努力工作後又多少人有蝸居?

USB Type A-C and Micro USB

The USB receptacle on your PC is a type A connector and can be recognized by its rectangular shape. Type A receptacles can be found on upstream devices such as a USB host, or a hub. Type A plugs can be found on cables, and smaller peripherals such as a mouse and a flash drive.

Cosmetic company states that collagen drink can keep our skin elastic and smooth.
然而，膠原蛋白會在胃部分解為不同的氨基酸。
However, collagen is broken down into different amino acids in stomach.
問題在於膠原蛋白是由什麼不同的氨基酸組成?
The question is that what kinds of amino acids does collagen compose of ?
其實，肉類(如魚肉)已含有優質的蛋白質，豐富的氨基酸。
In fact, meat like fish has rich protein and plenty of amino acids already.
那麼喝膠原蛋白飲料、吃肉類和食燕窩有何分別?

最後順帶一提，你相信膠原蛋白(這樣一個大份子)可塗在臉上然後穿透入肌膚嗎?
Lastly, do you believe that collagen can penetrate the dead skin and make skin better?

Cultural difference

Sambey (1999) stated the following:
The basic difference in way English-speaking Westerners and people from some Asian countries think about the way that running a business or a company should be structured. People who grow up and are educated in Asia learn to value teamwork in the workplace. To them, organizations and groups are important, and it is also important to conform (符合) as a group to company policies. Business decisions made by a group, and group agreement, are valued and put into practice. Westerners, on the other hand, place much more value on the independence of the individual, believing that group organization is not the way to progress. Westerners believe strongly in individual thought, initiative, action, and responsibility, and have a strong need for freedom to express themselves as individuals...

Price of elastic band

近來好敗家，買了本 2017 Moleskine，當然我有員工優惠。今日問爸爸那條 Elastic band 是否靚貨，因為他是內行。他說用料不錯，不過 100米只是值十幾蚊，是否靚貨自行判斷。

中下產二代

爸爸學歷不高，他從前是紡織技工，憑藉自己的勞力，晉升至管理層，現在於內地任紡織工廠的生產部經理。他供錢給我讀書，因為種種原因，如本人的健康問題，我用上七年學費、八年光陰才完成大學課程。同學眼紅我不用向政府借錢還錢。然而，畢業後，在老師的勸告下，沒有正式擔任註冊護士。有人在知情的情況下說我浪費政府資源，我一笑置之。

在社會不斷碰釘，有一段時間失業、開工不足，幸好有一位親戚聘請我做文書工作，為履歷表填補一下吉白。後來，在勞工處「青年就業起點」和社工的協助下，找到現時這份工作，轉眼快將一年。在大學書店裡當一位客戶服務員，工作算是愉快，但工時長，薪金微薄，車費飯錢又貴，能給家人的錢不多，所給的家用其實不夠租我家的一間房。而且我的藥費一點也不便宜，所以我決定明年看公立。

爸爸下星期便六十歲，理應是退休的年紀。然，縱使他有心想繼續工作，也不是必然的事，因為內地減排的力度越收越緊。爸媽說要換樓套現省差餉，我向母親提議做逆按揭，但媽媽說怕我老來沒屋住，此話讓我慚愧不堪。她還說賣樓套現後供我再讀書做另一行專業，但我覺得現在的我不可以再靠家人的錢讀書，況且學校都未必一定收我。

富二代成功靠父幹，中上產可以不用靠政府過活，基層有「關愛」，我們這些中下產只能自求多福，力爭上游。最後要補充的一點，我和父親的關係不是錢銀關係這麼簡單。記得有一段時間我和媽媽同時有重病，他一個人撐起一頭家，一句怨言也沒有，他是一個真正的男人，是我的模仿對象。

中日情仇

當天日本人稱中國人為支那豬，現在日本官方都棄用，然而部分香港年青人仍用來稱呼內地人。個人認為議員討厭中共政權可以理解，可是內地人亦有很多種，總會有品格行為優良的，絕不能一概而論。

當天有中日韓台慰安婦，現時日本人仍舊諸多辯駁。今天香港人看日本成人電影。說不上是因果，但同樣是蹂躪 (torture) 婦女的行為，值得深思、反思。

enamel and xylitol

We morphologically (形態上) determined the effects of xylitol on the remineralization of artificially demineralized enamel. The samples were demineralized and then immersed in a re-mineralizing solution with or without 20% xylitol at 37°C for 2 weeks. Samples were observed using contact microradiography, a multipurpose image processor (MIP) and a high-resolution electron microscope (HRTEM). Contact microradiography indicated that remineralization occurred in the surface and deep layers of samples immersed in a non-xylitol solution. Samples immersed in a xylitol solution demonstrated less mineralization in the outer 10 micron of the outermost surface layers, but more mineralization in the middle and deep layers, than was observed in the non-xylitol samples. The MIP evaluation indicated that remineralization was more prominent in layers at depths of 50-60 micron in the xylitol samples than in the non-xylitol samples. Observation of the xylitol samples by HRTEM revealed crystals of various sizes and irregular shapes with unclear crystal angles in the outermost surface layers. In the middle layers, they had thickened and angles of crystals are clear. These results indicate that xylitol can induce remineralization of deeper layers of demineralized enamel by facilitating Ca2+ movement and accessibility.

中港矛盾(二)

基本法保障港人生活方式和資本主義五十年不變。單就生活方式來說，回歸以來沒有改變，誰都不敢說。譬如，新聞自由顯然改變不少。TVB 被網民改名為 CCTVB 是有原因的。又例如，普教中不能提昇語文能力，政策仍然不改，明顯為了中港融合。但是，以上兩項事件是受中共影響，還是有港人為討好中共而做，平民百姓永不會知曉。在中共的統治下，筆者認為中國於2047年的人權狀況不會有什麼改善。曾經聽朋友說過，他鄉下因收地賠償問題，地方政府血腥鎮壓，此後機關不建議他回鄉，就算批准也不許攜帶攝影器材。如果在2047年，中共收回一切權力，港人的生活會與內地人一般的悲哀。

於是，香港出現了本土、自決和獨立的主張。於是，有人說國家斷水斷糧，香港必死。可是，新加坡可以脫離馬來西亞，為什麼香港不能? 水的問題可用「逆滲透」技術解決，食物可入口，只是成本會大大飆升。新加坡有自己的煉油廠，有自己的軍隊，有李光耀作領袖。然而，我們不能把新加坡那一套照版煮碗搬到香港。香港人能接受家長式管治嗎? 如果香港真有自己的軍隊，能抵抗解放軍嗎? 中國在南海問題上已顯示出她這強國的霸道，在領土完整的大前題下，她會輕易讓香港獨立嗎? 只可以說香港的年青人太年青了，共產黨的權力是當年以血換回來的，我們現在只能乞求中央在 2047 後給予自由的空氣。

中港矛盾(一）

近來，食環票控店鋪阻街鬧得熱烘烘。內地人和他們的行李在商場同樣車水馬龍。為什麼政府只懂欺負小商户而不去解決「購物」的問題？政府提過的邊境購物城何時建好呢？明顯地，內地人不信任國貨。他們不理部分港人對他們的歧視，千辛萬苦舟車勞頓出境入境。零售業很需要內地客，但部分內地人只當我們是「服務員」。某部分人欠缺禮貌，拖著行李，不理老幼橫衝直撞。年輕港人崇洋反中不是毫無理由。為什麼沿岸城市的人富起來可以囂張跋扈而欠缺國民教育?中國人這方面的劣根性何時才可以有所改善?

curve

曲線，網絡用語，意指故意說一些表面上是正面的說話，實際是想引起負面的結果，但卻刻意隱藏自己真正的用意，反之亦然。亦即是說「表面反對，實則支持」，或者「表面想幫助，實則想幫倒忙」。例如發表某些表面上支持某方的言論，但其論點卻是荒謬可笑，目的令反方質疑正方支持者的質素，激起更多人加入反方，這樣發表該言論者便屬於「曲線支持反方」。

曲線的另一個意思就是以間接、迂迴曲折的方法來做某事。例如一位上司看了你交給他的建議書後，不直接批評你，而且找另一位同事告訴哪些地方需要改正和完善，這樣就可以說是「曲線溝通」。

milk and sleepiness

Lastly, we summarize our findings that emerging evidence confirms a link between diet and sleep. Overall, foods impacting the availability of tryptophan, as well as the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin, may be the most helpful in promoting sleep. Although there are clear physiological connections behind these effects, the clinical relevance needs to be studied further.

Tryptophan achieves its effects by way of serotonin, one of the key brain chemicals involved in regulating mood. Among other functions, serotonin promotes feelings of calm, relaxation, and sleepiness.

butter and margarine

Because margarines don't contain cholesterol and are now made without trans fat, the American Heart Association recommends that soft margarine can be used instead of butter in recipes. Choose a margarine that contains less than two grams of saturated fat per tablespoon, no trans fat, and has liquid vegetable oil as the first ingredient.

Don't use antiseptic soap to shower

身在亞熱帶地區的香港人看畢以下報導，相信還會每天淋浴，但我不建議你們用有消毒效能的沐浴露。

According to Dr Elaine Larson, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University School of Nursing, you only need to shower once or twice a week.

She added, ‘Bathing will remove odour if you’re stinky (臭的) or have been to the gym. But in terms of protecting you from illness, washing your hands regularly is probably adequate.’

For example, cracked skin could allow germs to get in while constant showers could strip away (除去) healthy oils and good bacteria.

‘Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong-smelling secretions. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping.’ Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, says.

高速閱讀必須克服的10種不良習慣

　　要想把閱讀的速度提高，必須要克服一些不良習慣，這些習慣妨礙閱讀速度和理解，還可能損害身體健康。

　　一、音讀

　　音讀包括以下幾種情況：①讀出聲；②唇動；③舌或喉、聲帶動；④心誦，即大腦中發聲。音讀的最大弊端，是使閱讀速度等同於說話的速度，從而拖慢閱讀速度。如有這種情況，你可以嘗試在閱讀時將手指緊貼唇、喉。但根本方法還在於採用喬治速讀練習，大幅度提高閱讀速度。速度提高了，音讀現象自然就會消除。

　　二、逐字閱讀

逐字閱讀並不能增加對文章的理解程度，把意思完整的句子割裂成字、詞，注意力被單個文字所分散,只會妨礙、減慢對全句或全段的理解，就好似只看每一棵樹而不見森林。如有這種習慣，你要嘗試閱讀“意思”，而不是閱讀“字”，就好比聽別人講話時，是聽他的意思而不是聽他說的每一個字。在喬治速度練習中，練習初階即可達到一目半行的文字，就可以消除逐字閱讀的弊病。

　　三、指讀

　　閱讀時用手指著字句，因為手指不及眼睛敏捷，所以會降低閱讀速度。如有這個習慣，強制將雙手拿開，單靠眼動引導閱讀。

　　四、轉動頭頸

　　閱讀時頸部由一邊轉向另一邊，也會降低閱讀速度，而且令你疲倦辛苦。如有此習慣，雙肘支桌、雙手支頦，單純依靠眼球的轉動引導閱讀。

　　五、糾纏生字

　　讀讀停停，會打亂閱讀節奏，減慢閱讀速度，並打斷了你的閱讀思路，妨礙你完整地理解和消化所讀信息。有此問題的，平時須多識字、詞，閱讀時先根據上下文推測生字的意思，待閱讀完畢再查字典印證。

　　六、回視返讀

　　回視是快速閱讀最大的障礙。主要原因是精力不集中、粗心馬虎，潛在心理是懷疑自己的理解能力，總認為看得快就會看不清、記不住，所以不斷地返回重讀，而不是專注向前迎接新的內容。結果，新的內容得不到充分理解，只好又回頭重讀。返回重讀又造成信息的混亂、流失，影響記憶，因此，形成了惡性循環——返讀越多，越需要返讀。所以，在練習中，應該從心理和視覺兩方面進行。這是許多人閱讀速度緩慢的原因。如有此習慣，首先在心理上要樹立自信，相信自己的眼睛，暗示自己眼睛靈活清晰。通過速讀練習，嘗試集中註意力一口氣閱讀一篇文章。這樣，你會發覺，在理解方面與返讀結果相差無幾，但卻節約了許多時間。當然，若要仔細咀嚼某些字句，或讀完一遍後有目的的重新閱讀，返讀也是必要的。

　　七、忽略線索

　　標題性的信息是作者提供的重要閱讀線索，決不可忽視。忽視了標題、引言、總結、說明及圖解等信息，會限制你的閱讀思考，影響閱讀效率。如果有此習慣，嘗試在閱讀時，只看標題、斜體字、深色字、特別的說明等，然後猜測，看你能從中領會多少。

　　八、假閱讀

　　就是閱讀和思想分離，眼睛看著書，腦子早就神游到了另一個世界，眼睛和大腦之間如同電線短路一樣，書中的信息很少進入大腦，結果還不如不讀。主要原因是被功名、考試所累，閱讀時心緒不寧，精神困頓，注意力嚴重分散。有此現象的，應該檢查自己是否已陷入腦疲勞，注意適度休息和有氧運動；看是否注意力存在問題，可以通過喬治速讀記憶中註意力的專項練習來改善；進行喬治速讀記憶練習，並以此方法讀書，迫使眼睛和大腦集中註意、高速運轉；鍛煉自己的意志力，控制自己信馬由韁的思緒。

　　九、死讀書

　　指被動讀書而引起的迂腐遲鈍症狀，所謂“茶壺裡煮餃子——有貨倒(道)不出”。主要原因是只讀不用，只進不出，只知從書本被動接受，而不進行自己的思考，成為書本的奴隸。應該明白的是，書本知識只有在使用中才會變成自己的。所以一要讀思結合，書是死的，但知識是活的；二要讀說寫結合，最好的檢驗辦法就是複述、筆寫；三要讀用結合，即對知識進行評價、應用。

　　十、不良姿勢

　　有人愛趴在桌上或躺在床上看書，容易造成近視眼、駝背等生理變化。如果長期伏案工作，也不應把書平放在桌上，低頭去看，而應雙手將書拿起，距眼睛30～40厘米，直背端坐，否則容易在中老年患頸椎病。所以，閱讀時一定要注意保持姿勢端正。

　　貝爾納說：“良好的方法使我們更好地發揮運用天賦的能力，而拙劣的方法則可阻礙才能的發揮。”　

　世上沒有包治百病的靈丹妙藥，任何一種科學的方法也不能解決所有問題。閱讀也是一樣。但只要我們努力練習，就可以提高閱讀速度和理解能力，成為靈活的快速高效閱讀者，就會對知識充滿信心。因為我們已成為文字的主人，而不是奴隸。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　戰隼摘抄自《喬治速讀記憶法》一書

rods and cones

The rods are more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to color. They are responsible for our dark-adapted vision…The optimum dark-adapted vision is obtained only after a considerable period of darkness, say 30 minutes or longer, because the rod adaption process is much slower than that of the cones…If you see a dim star in your peripheral vision, it may disappear when you look at it directly since you are then moving the image onto the cone-rich fovea region which is less light sensitive.

Hold your thumb up at arms length. Look at it with one eye. Then look at it with the other eye. Its position appears to change, with respect to the background. This is called parallax. If the earth moves around the Sun, then the apparent positions of the stars must change between January and June. (Even if all the stars are at the same distance, as if drawn on a wall, their positions with respect to one other must change as you get closer and farther away from one side.)

地鐵神秘站--屈地站 (RTHK,2009)

http://hkfilex.rthk.org.hk/mysterieX/clueinfo.php?id=448

這是當時西港島線的其中一個被廢棄的站,聽聞當時西港島線的工程已經完工,但是由於屈地站鄰近高街精神病院,而且興建時也發現不少怪事,所以最後只開放至上環站,而上環站以後的站亦關閉至今,但現在地鐵公司又重題西港島線,日後這幾個站將有可能會重見天日。
問過一個係地鐵做夜間維修的朋友,佢話地鐵上環站同一般地鐵總站好唔同, 佢話總站一黎跟本唔需要咁長的越位

二黎越位入面仲有個牌用英文寫住"下個站的距離XXkm"

三黎加上當年建屈地站之前仲有一個西營盤站(即上環下一個站係西營盤,之後屈地, 一直去到堅尼地城).佢話屈地站同西營盤站既大堂結構全部做好,地鐵冇理由浪費几億唔開依几站咁奇怪.點解佢話唔知,但佢上司講過話冇必要唔好去個度(實際上隧道有一段封左, 有度門入到去). 上網找過話西環不嬲好邪,又話西營盤站近高街鬼屋.究竟點解地鐵當年唔開上環以下D站,覺得到依家都係一個謎....

到過地鐵上環站的人都知道有兩個荒廢了的月台.那月台看來只能容納四列卡車,而邊緣有攔杆圍住,望向月台坑裡不見路軌也沒有架空電線.路經那處總令人有感陰森恐佈.

而據聞該處其實是廢棄地鐵站林士站在1970政府東九龍線地鐵系統研究擱置後留下來的,最後只好跟上環站相連.除了上環的神秘月台外,還有鑽石山是多出一個月台,但建在那裏,則無不得而知.

亦有說其實當年在興建林士站時鬧鬼鬧得非常厲害，有人因工死亡,有工人在車站中目睹到白衣女子墮下月台.鬧鬼令地鐵公司無法將車站建成。後來上環站建成初期，有指當年有乘客不慎跌進該無軌月台後死亡.地鐵公司於是為該月台加上圍欄。又有人在那裏不時聽到一些淒厲的鬼叫聲，亦有人見過有白衣女子跳下月台，更恐佈的是有乘客在該月台見到有列車停泊!

而到底上環站建成與林士站的關係是怎樣,我們無百分百答案,但可知的是上環原本不是港島線的尾站。在上環之後還有西營盤、西環，但後來上環站以西的路段計劃卻取消了。地鐵公司當時指，由於西環人口不足，加上地質問題，該段鐵路沒有興建。但是，在德輔道西及西環西邊街交界，據指一商場內一地舖有一條通往地底通道的,那是西營盤地鐵站的其中一個出入口，當年由於在這個站附近是高街精神病院令工地常常鬧鬼,以至工程停止。

呢個屈地站已好多人講過，大家如果去開西環，盛傳係屈地站出口的某商場地下，果個舖位不但係長期落閘，旁邊仲有座好大的地主神位，梗有唔對路D

智存隔夜菜

星島日報 – 2014年2月11日

本港腸胃肝臟科醫生及營養師強調，只要適當儲存，便能減低蔬菜因受細菌影響而產生致癌物的機會。

腸胃肝臟科專科醫生姚志謙說：「動物實驗證實，亞硝酸鹽可引起消化道的細胞癌變，包括食道癌、胃癌，甚至肝癌，故建議應避免攝取過量亞硝酸鹽。」

雖然如此，暫時仍沒有數據證明常吃隔夜菜人士便會患胃癌，建議只要適當存放食物，減少其接觸細菌機會便可。

除了蔬菜本身外，硝酸鹽亦可來自農藥、醃製肉類（例如煙肉、臘肉等）及飲用水，建議日常減少進食醃製肉類和徹底清潔蔬菜後才進食。

姚醫生續說，切碎了的蔬菜，其植物細胞會釋放一種酵素，能促進硝酸鹽轉化為亞硝酸鹽，故經切碎的蔬菜，應盡快食用。

註冊營養師（美國）詹佩鳳指出，部分蔬菜的硝酸鹽含量較高，應避免隔日進食，例如菠菜、莧菜、小棠菜、白菜、紅菜頭，以及切得細碎的蔬菜或蔬菜蓉。如需要隔夜食用，可選擇硝酸鹽含量較低的種類，例如西蘭花、椰菜花、荷蘭豆、番茄、節瓜、甜粟米、甘筍、馬鈴薯、蘆筍及綠豆芽等。

正確處理方法

　　1. 交替食用各種蔬菜，因各類蔬菜含有不同濃度的硝酸鹽，交替食用可保身體吸收多種營養素，但又不會攝取過量硝酸鹽。

　　2. 不論生或熟的蔬菜，均應存放雪櫃內。

　　3. 煮食前把蔬菜清洗和浸水一小時，徹底清除農藥。

　　4. 蔬菜切開、弄碎或煮熟後，應盡早烹煮。

　　5. 將硝酸鹽和亞硝酸鹽含量較高的蔬菜於沸水焯一至三分鐘，有助減低兩者濃度，吃前瀝乾水分。

　　6. 經烹調的蔬菜如非立刻食用，應盡快將之放涼後放進雪櫃，冷藏於攝氏四度或以下，並於十二小時內食用，如要儲存逾十二小時，要將蔬菜冷藏於冰格內（攝氏負十八度或以下）。

　　7. 將蔬菜翻熱時，徹底煮熱一分鐘，並盡快食用。

Words of Peter

On behalf of the Senior Management Team, I condemn the behaviour last night of HKU students who (amongst others) put the safety of Council members, including me, and University and security staff at serious risk, and besieged (圍攻) the building in which Council had met so that we were unable to leave for several hours. This is not the way to achieve progress: we will always be willing to engage in rational discussion and debate with students but we cannot condone (容忍) mob (暴民) rule. The actions were totally unnecessary because the Council had earlier, as announced in a press statement at the end of the meeting, unanimously (一致地) agreed to commission (委員會) a review into the University’s governance which was one of the central demands that the students had made publicly. The scenes last night will have further damaged the University’s reputation and they bring no credit to those involved: HKU students should be capable of better. Video images were recorded and will be made available to the police.
