Google Earth: New Tool for Conservationists

 

In the year 2000, Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, and Lilian Pintea explored Tanzania with Google Earth for the first time. They were shocked how Google Earth showed just how severe the deforestation was in the Gombe Forest, home of the chimpanzees Goodall had so famously studied in the 1960s. Chimpanzees had retreated to other areas because of the lack of food, water, and shelter due to the massive deforestation. If not quickly stopped, the chimps habitat would be completely destroyed.

Soon after, Google Earth Outreach was born- a charity program Google uses to donate and assist non-profit organizations. The Jane Goodall Institute and Google Earth collaborated to create a wildlife saving campaign, focused on conserving and protecting the forest. Google Earth played a crucial role, the gathered geospatial information was shared with the Gombe area locals- promoting unity in protecting their environment and thus protecting the local forest and animal habitats. Google Earth also allowed them to map out where chimpanzees were sighted, so those areas could become the focus of the conservation efforts.

 

Google Earth provides information regarding the number of trees in an area, the number of wildlife animals in an area and more. For example; one local asked ‘how many acres is my farm,’ and Pintea was able to provide that information with Google Earth. The local then replied, ‘okay, this is useful; now what did you want to talk about chimpanzees?’ Google earth was able to provide that connection and encourage Gombe Forest locals to participate in replanting trees, get water to sustain the wildlife, and assist in protection areas from poachers.

 

The Jane Goodall Institute is definitely a cause worth supporting. It takes a tremendous amount of resources to make an impact, and any donation will help. Show your support today and make a difference!

Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival means Business and Networking Opportunities

 

 

If you do business in Hong Kong or China, you must be familiar with the Mid-Autumn Festival (or Mooncake Festival). It’s the second most important festival for Chinese people after the Lunar New Year! With more than a decade’s experience, Prosperity Research Digital Agency(PRDA) has provided professional Social Media Marketing to a variety of businesses. PRDA provides your business with fresh and genuine branded content so that your Digital Marketing soars over your competition!

The Mid-Autumn festival was originally meant to honour your ancestors and deities; however, it’s also the perfect time for networking in Hong Kong and China- leading to magnificent business opportunities and strengthen professional relationships.

 

urban informatization and network technology

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival falls on October 4th-5th, 2017, when the moon will be at its prime, shining bright. So if you are doing business in Asia anywhere, don’t forget to acknowledge the festival. As an official holiday period,  all governmental sectors are closed as well as most privately own businesses.

 

But business minded people can still capitalise on this holiday- generating revenue but perhaps more importantly, building business relationships, ie networking! The festival presents an opportunity for families to unite and create strong bonds. In the same vein, during this festival, businesses whom have business links with Hong Kong and China are expected to take time to build strong business relationships. It’s a tradition to give mooncakes to friends and colleagues during this time and can be a very important time for business growth and development.

The festival is also a time when  businesses can get creative with their marketing, and start thinking beyond the cliché greeting messages of wishing good holidays and etc. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the perfect opportunity to position your brand as one close to the virtues of the Chinese culture.

 

Need to slay the competition with the perfect Social Media Marketing strategies? Prosperity Research Digital Agency(PRDA) has got everything you need! Learn where your brand stands among competitors with PRDA’s Free Facebook Report and Competitor Analysis.

End of Summer Pork Chops – Taste of Scan

 

 

September marks the end of summer; children back in school, and the days are starting to cool down. We are still, partially at least, in a summer mood. It’s the perfect time for an end of summer bbq, with Scan’s Flower-Fed pork and this recipe!

 

Often pork chops simply don’t get the praise they deserve. When cooked right, this lean cut is delicious as a tender, flavorful main course. Always ensure you use high quality pork meat, like juicy and tender Scan flower-fed pork that is simple to cook to perfection.

These pork chops are amazingly tasty when grilled, but they are also good cooked in a very hot, heavy skillet on the top of the stove. After coating your pork with your seasonings and olive oil, cook the oil-coated chops for the same length of time in the open skillet as on the grill. On the grill, cook them close to your heat source.  If your grill doesn’t have a lid, cook your pork about a minute longer on each side. When the meat is removed from the grill or skillet, be sure to let it rest for a good 5-10mins before serving- the pork will continue to cook in it’s own heat and the juices will redistribute- making your flower-fed pork perfectly tender and juicy.

Grilled Thyme Pork Chops

6 flower-fed pork chops from Taste of Scan (230 grams each)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

2 tablespoons olive oil.

 

Preheat a grill, set on high. Mix your salt, pepper and thyme with the olive oil and brush across both sides of your chops. Be through- you can even use your (clean) hands to massage the oil mixture on. Place your pork chops on a very hot grill, about 2 to 3 inches from the heat. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Set aside in a warm place off the heat to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

 

Scan’s delicious, juicy and tender flower-fed pork has an amazing flavour and texture, as well as being easier to cook with, so it is no surprise that many top Hong Kong restaurants have chosen Scan’s natural, premium pork for their menus.

Enjoy Your Mooncake, Mindfully : Gourmet Skin Bar

 

 

It’s nearly time for Mid-Autumn Festival and that means Mooncakes! You definitely should enjoy your mooncake, but perhaps in a more mindful way.  Gourmet Skin Bar cares for the beauty and well being of its clients, thus it’s important to us to address the topic of balancing food intake during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s easy to stray away from the conventional ways during the holidays when there’s the opportunity to feast on a large amount of food and especially the sweet, orange mooncakes.

 

Here are some tips on how to enjoy your mooncake this season, but in a more mindful fashion:

The first tip is simple, share your mooncake with your friends and family. Snagged a mooncake on your lunch break? Split it in half and share with a colleague- now that’s a smart way to network as well as curbing an excessive intake of fat and sugar.

 

Next, try enjoying some tea with your mooncake, such as flower tea, green tea or oolong tea.  These teas aid digestion and helps prevent body fat. Be sure to avoid carbonated beverages, which are loaded with calories and sugar!

Avoid having a mooncake as your breakfast; or as a meal in general. Balanced nutrition is key to good health. This means you shouldn’t save your mooncakes and eat them as breakfast. Your meals should be balanced- good carbs, good fat and good protein. Mooncakes are high in sugar and if eaten in the morning will increase your blood sugar level. This results in a sugar crash later on, leaving you feeling more tired and craving more sugary food. Instead, enjoy one as a treat- preferably sharing with your family and friends.

 

Mooncakes are delicious festival desserts, to always enjoy in moderation. We are what we eat – as well as what we put on our body. During this festive season, try to take some special time just for yourself to rejuvenate and love your body and health, just as Gourmet Skin Bar is committed to providing you with safe, natural and sustainable beauty brand choices.
