The 6 Best Tech Companies For Intern
Internship used to be code for "slave labor." But tech companies these days are tripping over themselves to hire the brightest young minds as interns and pay them well.
If you play your cards right, you can earn some serious cash with an internship -- as much as $6,000 a month.


A recent report on Glassdoor.com showed that among the Top 20 best internships, six of them were in tech.



They are:
No. 1. Google. No surprise. Google pays its software engineering interns an average of $6,463/month. Not all interns can expect that much. An intern in its BOLD program gets paid about $3,444/month. BOLD is a diversity program with interns in mostly business roles, rather than tech jobs.


No. 2 Microsoft. Microsoft rather famously rolls out the red carpet to its interns, including salary. A research intern can make as much as $6,746/month. Software development interns can bring in $5,539 and a Program Manager intern (business) can earn $5,323. Plus, Microsoft throws them concerts and parties.

No. 3 Qualcomm. Qualcomm pays its interns on average over $4,500/month. The company is also based in San Diego so its intern recruiting videos look like a California vacation commercials. The company hires more than 800 interns worldwide for summer and school-year interns and claims that 60 percent get hired on after they graduate, too.

No. 4. Cisco. Cisco pays about $4,000/month. Its internship program got a big boost two summers ago when one of them, Greg Justice, recorded a YouTube video that went viral named I Am The World's Most Interesting Intern. This sparked a YouTube war where other interns posted videos of their jobs at Cisco. It turned Justice in a YouTube phenom in the Cisco and internship worlds.

No. 5 IBM. IBM pays its interns a healthy $3,935 and while the iconic tech company doesn't have the panache of Google, it does have world-renown R&D facilities exploring every type of science. IBM's got one internship program called Extreme Blue that is sort of like a reality show. Students work in one of 15 Extreme Blue labs to develop a new technology and business plan in 12 weeks. IBM says the program has lead to more than 400 potential patents.

No. 6. Amazon. Amazon pays its software development interns about $5,552/month. Amazon is the gold standard of cloud computing and it likes to build a lot of its own technology. Some interns luck out and get to work on really important projects. Others, not so much, according to what some of them have said on Quora. But even if the work is iffy, the name recognition is not. Those who spend time as an interns at Amazon get the interviews when they graduate.

鐵達尼號船難百年之謎與追憶

    

鐵達尼號船難百年之謎與追憶     作者:戴忠仁

號稱永不沉沒的豪華郵輪鐵達尼號在整整100年前的4月10日,從英格蘭南安普頓 (Southampton)啟航,駛往紐約市,但她永遠沒抵達目的地,4月15日鐵達尼撞上冰山而沉沒,1514人死亡.首航也是Titanic的終結之旅.


紐約市曼哈頓的南街海港博物館(South Street Seaport Museum)舉行了「鐵達尼號船難百年之謎與追憶」(Titanic at 100:Myth and Memory)特展.我還沒去參觀,但我十分注意這次活動,原因很簡單,鐵達尼號是極少數讓我落淚的電影!

鐵達尼號是當時世上最奢華的郵輪,她的船難卻也當即透顯出人性之善與醜陋.電影中那幕海上只有黑暗與淒冷, 女主角凱特溫斯絲蕾在浮板上醒過來,卻發現她的愛人李奧納多已經凍僵再也喊不醒了.

船已沉沒, 當兩人牽手撐過船陷汪洋的危機,共同浮沉海面等待救援, 彼此還期許未來,"希望"是那時所有的動力,但浮板太小了,容不下兩人.太累了,只不過瞇了一下,兩人就此天人永離.當凱特溫絲蕾告訴李奧納多, 她會好好活下去,並勇敢的放掉李奧納多的手,讓他載浮載沉消失在黑夜中.....,那一幕一直在我心裡角落徘迴著.

瀏覽了一些這次特展的照片,鐵達尼是人們製造的無數船隻之ㄧ,她卻以"消失"成為人們永遠的記憶.

我喜歡吃
鼎泰豐是我常去的餐廳之一
連我女兒也被我傳染了

我會招待他去鼎泰豐
因為好吃的食物(鼎泰豐是全球top 10餐廳)

鼎泰豐每家店都有英文版小傳單
瀏覽一下
再塞一口小籠包
肚子和腦子都有貨了
學英文就是要簡單 (圖片取自鼎泰豐網站)

男人說"我愛你"是為了要上你


在戀愛過程中,誰會先說「我愛你」?當對方先說了之後,另外一半會如何看待這個信號?
美國《個性與社會心理學期刊》近日發表報告稱,在男女戀愛過程中,男性通常要比女性早6周、在確定戀愛關係97.3天後開始考慮說「我愛你」,不過男性說這句話的動機可能並不單純,女性認為過早說出「我愛你」的男性不太可信。

在得出這項結論之前,社會普遍認為在戀愛中是女性先說「我愛你」。
然而最近的調查結果卻與上述結論相反。經過對一些正在戀愛和有過戀愛經歷的成年人調查後發現,男性首先說出「我愛你」的比例佔到了61.5%,他們在戀愛後的第97.3天開始考慮說這3個字,時間比女性早6周。
研究者稱,出現這種現象的原因並不單單是因為女性刻意等待男性先說「我愛你」,而是男性要比女性更早開始考慮表達自身的感受;還有一個重要的原因是,在戀愛過程中,男性對較早發生關係有著更強烈的渴望
另有調查表明,戀愛的男性更喜歡早一點聽到「我愛你」,這並不是因為男性更容易動感情,而是他們認為女性說出這三個字是想同他們發生關係的信號,如果在事後聽到這句話,他們可能會害怕為對方承擔責任或者乾脆逃之夭夭;對於女性而言,她們則不太相信過早提出這一話題的男性,這可能是因為一旦發生關係後懷孕對她們造成的傷害相對較大,所以她們認為事後聽到這句話,意味著男性對愛的承諾,也表明對方願意當「準爸爸」。
