Airbrush/ Hi-Definition Make-up is very popular in foreign countries. Make-up artists

In this hi-definition and digital era, all the skin blemishes would be magnified under the
hi-definition cameras; counting on the traditional make-up to cover them is not only time
consuming, the looks will be artificial andnot long-lasting.
The principle of the airbrush for make-up is that when the ultra-fine foundation is sprayed
by the high-pressure airbrush, it will be more evenly attached to the skin. A base make-
up that normally takes 20 minutes can be done in just 60 seconds with an airbrush, which
makes the job of a make-up artist more efficient as well as professional.

19. Cloud Computing Application: Google Drive (HOT)
Traditionally, for the purpose of storing enormous amount of corporate operating data,
which covers inventory management, procurement management, sales management,
financial management, personnel management, production management and systems that
support decision making, the server, a computer with the most powerful and gargantuan
processing capacity is mandatory and indispensable.
However, the rapid rise of cloud computing which excels in all arenas including the
amount of data being handled, state of technologies or development prospects of
applications has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years. When growth of data in
the Internet reaches an exponential rate, techniques required to handle big data covering
storage, management, processing, searching, analysis and intelligent application can be
handled and processed with the help of cloud computing platform.
Google Drive has been one of the cloud computing platforms and it possesses colossal
capacity to edit online and to search with the integral Google Document which will enable
the users to access, extract and edit their photos, notes or other documents saved with
cloud computing via the Internet through mobile phones or computers. It has brought
along transformational changes in business modes. Telecommunication operators can
analyse the roaming characteristics of mobile phone users in stations which will enable
them to work out more accurate charge rates; financial and capital operators can analyse
the risks accompanying the various loan amounts in a much faster and more accurate way
which will enable them to positively adjust chargeable interest rates; super-market and
convenience store businesses can also accurately analyse the purchasing habits of
consumers and dynamically adjust the placement of orders and inventory replenishment
accordingly.

Have you ever thought that the way you eat reflects your bearing and manner? To succeed
in the workplace, one needs to foster a nice personal image and social etiquette apart from

proper way to enjoy your soup and bread in a western dining setting? After finishing your
meal, how do you place your knives and forks and also your napkins properly? What are
the differences between the etiquettes of buffet, Chinese and Western dining?
This time, Y.E.S. has invited Ms Mary Cheung, who is an expert in etiquette, former Miss

51. The Series of Living an Elegant Life: Modern Western Calligraphy Workshop
(HOT)
Eddie Lau Pui Kei, a fashion designer in Hong Kong once said, “Everyone has to face his
difficulties and challenges on his own as there’s no one can help. Even though we are
always alone, we still persist in facing the challenges. Therefore, we are the one who
makes our choice. If we choose to love and learn anytime and anywhere, we will be able
to love and grow up under any circumstances. In spite of all the hurdles in life, you
always have to be elegant and positive in life and then you will find the ways to achieve
your dreams.”
When you are beset with setbacks and hardships at work, will you just grumble and
express lots of negative emotions or embrace challenges with positive attitudes? Modern
Western Calligraphy is not simply an elegant art but also a way to relieve your pressure,
train your perseverance and persistence and eventually improve your efficiency at work.

“Every cloud has a silver lining”, since the sun is shining behind the clouds. This quote
implies that there are always hope and happiness even in the worst days. We may not be

This is obviously not your responsibility, but colleagues always want to pass the buck and

on feeding you with new tasks? Obviously it is something that is beyond my
competence, but somehow I just have to bite the bullet for the sake of keeping my job?

because you don’t know how to say “No" even though obviously you have solid grounds
to say so, and end up embracing the predicament all on your own. "Rejection" or to say
“No” is actually an art. Come and learn how to say "No" with skill and subtlety, so that
