Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance Office of the Director Washington, D,C 20531 '!he Bureau of Justice Assistance is pleased to present Implementing Project DARE: brug Abuse Resistance Education. since Project DARE's inception by the IDs Angeles Police Depart.ment and the los Angeles Unified School District in 1983, law enforcement and education agencies in hundreds of communities throughout the united states have joined forces to prevent substance use among the nation's school children by introducing this program in their schools. Project DARE is a substance use prevention education program designed to equip children with skills for making decisions, managing stress, and withstanding negative peer pressures to use tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. In partnership with the schools, uniformed police officers I who are carefully selected and trained, teach a 17-session, semester-long validated curriculum to elementary and middle school students. In 1986 the Bureau of Justice Assistance funded seven Project DARE demonstration sites in cities and states throughout the country. mus program brief draws on the findings of these demonstration prcgrams, describes critical progrdIll elements and perfonnance standards, and offers step-by-step guidance to help carornuni.ties develop DARE in their schools. Although the program may appear complex, administrators will find that the approach described in this brief, gleaned from the extensive experience of earlier implementors, is not difficult. DARE offers a significant opportunity for law enforcement and education agencies to work together to reduce substance use. It also offers law enforcement a unique occasion to iIrpact positively upon the lives of young people. '!he Bureau of Justice Assistance encourages state and local agencies to apply Justice Assistance Act funds or funding from other authorized sources to implement this i ':ve prcqram. - LSEh*¥¥**¥ihE¥'HM¥'9!!I!! iI!

  • Unlimited Business Opportunities Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities
    Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities –71 My Belief “To maintain a city’s competitiveness is like sailing a boat against the current and it must forge ahead in order not to be driven back. Hence, Hong Kong must keep consolidating its existing strengths, exploring new advantages, expanding economic and trade ties with the world, and fostering closer exchange and co-operation with the Mainland.” “The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government is determined to boost the development of new and emerging industries in addition to our traditional industries, and considers that both innovation and technology and the creative industries have a competitive edge and much potential. They will not only promote a diversified economy, but also create more quality employment opportunities for our young people.” Hong Kong has been acclaimed as the world’s most open, freest and most competitive city by many international organisations. Leveraging our unique strengths under “One Country, Two Systems”, we will continue to provide a business-friendly environment, uphold operation of the market and promote free trade. We will also strive to develop new areas of economic growth. The National 13th Five-Year Plan pledges support for Hong Kong to reinforce and enhance its status as an international financial, transport and trade centre; develop its innovation and technology (I&T) industry; and establish itself as a centre for international legal and dispute resolution services in the Asia-Pacific region. The Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) development have brought enormous opportunities for the economic development of Hong Kong.

  • Urban-Focused Weather and Climate Services in Hong Kong
    Lee et al. Geosci. Lett. (2018) 5:18 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40562-018-0119-6 REVIEW Open Access Urban‑focused weather and climate services in Hong Kong Tsz‑cheung Lee* , Wai‑kin Wong and Kwong‑hung Tam Abstract Under the relentless pace of population growth and urban development, weather and climate services provided by the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) since its establishment in 1883 have been evolving continuously with an increasing focus on the delivery of tailored information to meet the needs of special users and various stakeholders in the community. With meteorological observations at the headquarters of the Observatory dating back more than 130 years to 1884, the advent of automatic weather station network in the mid-1980s has signifcantly expanded the data coverage both in terms of spatial and temporal resolution. The establishment of the Community Weather Information Network in 2007 further extended the meteorological measurement to the school and community levels. Regular upper air soundings and the increasing availability of remote-sensing observations also enable the monitoring of meteorological parameters beyond the near-surface levels through the depth of the atmosphere. By integrating comprehensive weather observations and numerical weather prediction products, HKO now provides a wide range of forecasts covering multi-time scales and warnings and advisories for high-impact weather such as tropical cyclone, thunderstorm, heavy rain, landslide, fooding, and cold and very hot weather. Riding on the advances in communication technology in recent decades, members of the public have gained improved access to the latest weather warnings, advisories, weather information, and forecast for the next couple of hours to 9 days ahead, as well as forecasts near users’ locations through HKO’s website and mobile app.

  • Hong Kong 2007
    100 Chapter 5 Commerce and Industry As a place for doing business, Hong Kong is hard to beat. It has all the advantages for trade to flourish: low tax rates, modern infrastructure, rule of law, free flow of capital and information and, equally important, it is the world’s freest economy and gateway to today’s most sought-after market — the mainland of China. Hong Kong is a leading international trading and services hub as well as a high value-added manufacturing base. It is widely recognised as one of the freest economies in the world, and the gateway to the Mainland market. Hong Kong’s continuing economic success owes much to a simple tax structure and low tax rates, a versatile and industrious workforce, excellent infrastructure, free flow of capital and information, the rule of law, and the Government’s firm commitment to free trade and free enterprise. The Government sees its task as facilitating commerce and industry within the framework of a free market. It does not impose tariffs. Regulatory measures on international trade are kept to a minimum. Hong Kong also adopts an open and liberal investment policy and actively encourages inward investment. The Government’s industrial policy is designed to promote industrial development by creating a business-friendly environment and providing adequate support services and infrastructure. It promotes innovation and technological improvement to match Hong Kong industry’s shift towards knowledge-based and high value-added activities. It aims to strengthen support for technology development and application, promote the wider use of design, develop a critical mass of fine scientists, engineers and designers, skilled technicians and venture capitalists, and encourage the development of a significant cluster of innovation and technology- based businesses.
