Digital Nomads Can Work Less and Play More with Microsoft Word Hacks and GlocalMe



Microsoft Word has been around for over 30 years, helping computer users of all types create, save, and send the documents that their hearts desire and brains require. A legacy like that doesn’t develop for no reasons. Word is a highly useful processor with built-in shortcuts that make composition and formatting a snap but what if there were ways to make Word even more efficient? With a little know how, traveling freelancers and remote professionals can improve their Microsoft Word experience and don’t forget GlocalMe to ensure safe and secure delivery of all your documents!

Microsoft Word Hacks to save time on the road:

  1. Turn off auto-formatting to allow more flexibility when structuring custom documents
  2. Create custom shortcuts on your keyboard for repeated tasks
  3. Customize the toolbar at the bottom to show the information you need most
  4. Save commonly used formats in Quick Styles and apply them to future docs in seconds
  5. Collaborate with others on the cloud with Microsoft Word 2016

Each of the above hacks could save precious seconds every time you work in Microsoft Word. Those seconds will add up to minutes and hours while every Word experience will be smooth and frustration-free. And, as any traveler knows, every second counts when you are touring an exotic locale. So, there is no time to be wasted on Word documents or searching for a cheap and reliable internet connection which is why every digital nomad needs GlocalMe.

After you complete your Word doc, it will mean nothing unless you can send it to the appropriate party. Of course, the only way to instantly share your work with employers and friends is via the web and GlocalMe is a mobile device that will broadcast a local wireless internet signal in any location.

GlocalMe and Microsoft Word: A match made in heaven for those who place more emphasis on the wonders of travel and less on the stresses of work.

Elegant Kitchen and Dinnerware From Bamboa Home Supplies






12565447_940673255986020_7394142586981024091_n.jpgYou might not think that bamboo would make an ideal material for crafting bowls and plates, but you would be wrong. Bamboa uses pressed bamboo fibers to make a wide variety of objects for use in the kitchen including bowls, cutting boards, serving spoons, chopsticks, and platters. The best part about all of these products is that they are completely natural and completely biodegradable. In fact, all Bamboa Home kitchen accessories will biodegrade within two months of being buried in the ground!

So sure, Bamboa Home makes environmentally-friendly kitchen products, but do they work? The answer is a resounding yes. Because bamboo is such a durable and resilient material, Bamboa Home products are incredibly functional. They are lightweight, dishwasher-safe, and can be used with hot and cold foods. Just about the only thing you don’t want to do with bamboo is put it in the microwave.

Pay Local, Connect Global with GlocalMe



How much is the internet worth to you? On one hand, the internet is not essential to human life in the way that say, water is. Indeed, for the vast majority of history humans lived without the internet and many billions still live internet-free lives today. However, think about all the ways that the internet is used today. For commerce, communication, information, entertainment and so much more, internet access is an invaluable convenience. GlocalMe understands the value of the internet in modern society but they still want to keep it affordable.

1918037_506115732909765_9114811067455462475_n.jpg

One of the great inconsistencies in the mobile world is the cost of local data packages vs. the cost of foreign data. AT&T charges $50 for a 5,000 data package in the U.S. but $23 for 10 MB for customers who are using data on a foreign network. That’s a 250 fold increase in price! How does that make any sense? To GlocalMe, it doesn’t.

Instead of paying bloated charges for data while traveling abroad, use a GlocalMe G2 WiFi hotspot to connect with domestic networks and pay local fees anywhere on earth. And, with GlocalMe there are no contracts so you only for what you use. For the wanderlust stricken backpacker and the constant business traveler alike, GlocalMe is the smart way to stay connected from abroad.

So, how much is the internet really worth to you? If you are reading this, probably a lot, but that doesn’t mean you have to pay a lot for internet access. GlocalMe puts an affordable price on the internet no matter where you are in the world. By connecting to local networks wherever you are, mobile roaming fees are avoided and internet access remains a convenience. Pay locally while connecting globally, that’s the GlocalMe way.

schneider-slider.jpgWrite with Authority: Le Luxury Pens By Schneider

Handwriting is a skill that seems to have gone by the wayside. The advent of the word processor and modern printers has largely ended the age of calligraphy, the practice of cursive letters, the writing of handwritten memos and the personal postcard, but that doesn’t mean you have to write with a subpar utensil. Schneider pens from Le Luxury put the power of the written word into your hand in a way that few pens can.

Schneider has been producing the finest quality writing instruments for over 70 years and this accomplished legacy shines through in all of their products. Each pen from Schneider is well balanced, built to last, and refillable with a variety of colored inks to chose from. Le Luxury stocks a number of Schneider pens in different styles so every hand can find its perfect match. We have Fountain Pens, Roller Ball pens, and Ball Point pens that will last a lifetime of refills and letter writing.

Want To Live Your Business Dream? Call Primasia Hong Kong For Help Turning Dreams Into Reality

At there best, dreams are good things for people. They can be inspiring ideals that push people and businesses to new heights, beyond what they previously thought was possible. However, at the root, dreams are merely thoughts unless they are acted upon. For businesses, the path to achieving a dream might be a long and intimidating road and failure may seem more likely than success. On the contrary, Primasia Hong Kong believes that with a firm plan of action, any business can move closer to living the dream.

An important part of goal setting is distilling dreams down to the ones that are the most important, achievable, and effective.

HIV Advocates Congratulates South African Stem Cell Bank For Winning at SingularityU Competition


Stem cell research has long been in the news for the potential it has to yield major breakthroughs in medicine, especially for the treatment of incurable diseases like HIV/AIDS. Any conversation about stem cells is also surrounded by political controversy, but HIV Advocates is proud to acknowledge a completely positive story regarding HIV/AIDS research. Next Biosciences, a South African stem cell bank, recently won the Singularity University Global Impact Competition (GIC)!

adult-stem-cell-cloning-670-1.jpg

This is a major victory for HIV/AIDS research as Next Biosciences is primarily focused on developing treatments and, ultimately, a cure for HIV/AIDS via their research into stem cell therapies. As winners of the Singularity U GIC, Next will be sending scientist Nick Walker to Silicon Valley for a 10-week course called the Global Solutions Program. He will then return to South Africa to continue the development of his project with the support of the support of Singularity U behind him.

Walker was chosen from a field of 48 applicants, each of whom submitted a proposal for an innovative project in their field of expertise. These other projects included research into food issues, water shortages, disaster relief, and the environment, and although these are all worthy causes, it is nice to see HIV/AIDS research get the attention it deserves. Hopefully in the future, more dedicated support from noble organizations like Singularity U will arise to deal with issues of disease in new and inventive ways.

Of itself, Singularity University says they are, “a benefit corporation whose mission is to educate, inspire and empower leaders to apply exponential technologies to address humanity’s greatest challenges.” HIV/AIDS definitely qualifies as one of mankind’s great modern challenges and HIV Advocates applauds Nick Walker and Next Biosciences for their efforts to stop HIV once and for all.


HIV Advocates which is a global initiative that aims to share news, experiences, strategies and new tools that aim to energize human rights movements and communities fighting HIV/AIDS, is the answer. Supported by Levi Strauss Foundation and powered by B-Change Foundation,  HIV Advocates encourages existing and would-be activists to explore the power of social media and other Internet avenues to help spread the message across - that discrimination and stigma no longer have any place in society and that society should accept the LGBT community members as they are.

Share your thoughts on the official HIV Advocates platform. Your voice counts!

Head Out for a PICNIC Lunch of Omega-3 Pork but Leave the Blanket and Basket Behind!





Spring sunshine brings thoughts of baseball games and blooming flowers to the mind. And, one of the most popular forms of dining during warm springs and summers is to pack up a basket with family favorites and head to the park for a picnic! There is nothing like eating with friends and family while basking in the midday sun and being serenaded by birds. Now, chef Phillipe Orrico is seeking to harness the pleasure of a picnic in his new restaurant where the progressive menu is headlined by a couple of omega-3 pork dishes from HKScan.

picni-360-panorama-hdr - flat panorama 2-cropped-1625x806-crop-u86082.jpg

Picnic is named after the tradition of eating outside on a nice day, something that has universal appeal to food lovers. That was the simple idea that led to the founding of Picnic, a simply named restaurant with some of the most extravagant picnic baskets ever! Of his new restaurant Chef Orrico says, “PICNIC on Forbes“ is inspired by the concept of Picnics and French cafes. The ambiance at PICNIC is relaxed, friendly and informal, with a ‘Casual Weekend’ concept.” Pork is a staple of all good picnic baskets, so serving the best pork possible was a necessity for Picnic restaurant and that’s why diners will find Flodins omega-3 pork on the menu.

Flodins omega-3 pork from HKScan is a relatively new product on the Hong Kong restaurant scene but it has been in development in Finland for over five years. In the Finnish meat industry, there is a high amount of priority given to all-natural, non-GMO, sustainably produced, cuts of meat and HKScan takes pride in exceeding all the recommended guidelines. Additionally, a customized diet of rapeseed-enriched food give Flodins pork its patented healthy omega-3 fats.

Head on down to PICNIC on Forbes this spring to enjoy a picnic like no other! The irresistible omega-3 pork belly and Flodins loin rack are sure to make your picnic basket the envy of picnickers everywhere!

Launch Your Macau Tourist Expedition from Hotel Royal Macau


Vasco de Gama was a 15th century Portuguese explorer who is credited with being the first European to link Europe with Asia via ocean passage. His discovery forever changed the destiny of Portugal, Europe, and Asia and he is famously enshrined in one of Macau’s most famous monuments. For tourists hoping to catch a glimpse of de Gama and experience all the sights and sounds that Macau has to offer, Hotel Royal Macau is the perfect base camp.

jardim-de-vasco-da-gama.jpgWhat better position for an explorer to launch an expedition than the center of the known world? At Hotel Royal Macau our guests will begin their exploration of Macau from the hotel’s ideal location in the center of the city. Countless tourist attractions are located within walking distance including the aforementioned Vasco de Gama Monument, Macau’s famous Senado Square, the Colina da Guia, the 400 year old Church of St. Paul and much more.



vasco-da-gama-garden.jpgBesides the many attractions located within a stone’s throw of Hotel Royal Macau, the rest of the city is only a short car ride away. Macau is a sprawling place, full of energy and excitement. Additionally, for the most adventurous spirits, the ferry to Macau is only an hour  shuttle ride away.

Like his contemporary Christopher Columbus, de Gama explored at a time when the earth was considered to be flat. Although that opinion is long since disproved, one opinion abounds: Hotel Royal Macau is the perfect location for tourists to explore the enchanting city of Macau. When you visit Macau, book a stay at the Hotel Royal Macau and become lost in the history of the great city on a relaxing, evening stroll.
