  • Race Starts This Weekend for MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po Double Category Newly Added for a Combined Race Distance of 119Km the Singaporean Pair Shared Their Strategy
    Press release and high-resolution images can be downloaded via the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uzadBWFndlxLwds6x7TN7WahvwdK3cU_ For Immediate Release Race starts this weekend for MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po Double category newly added for a combined race distance of 119km The Singaporean pair shared their strategy [Hong Kong, March 27, 2019] Over the persistent peaks of the Pat Sin Leng Range, Hong Kong’s most promising young trail runners are set to battle at the MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po on Saturday March 30 for more than a podium place. As the second qualifying event of the MSIG Youth Trail Running Development Programme, the 18-kilometre race will decide which four local trail runners will make the cut for the year-long training programme. While these young runners double down, a few others will double up — in the Double Category, which is also new for this year’s MSIG Ultra triumvirate of events. Participants will run the 75km on Saturday followed by the 44km the following day, for a total of 119 treacherous kilometres. The 75km and 18km races will be held on Saturday March 30, while the 44km will be held on Sunday March 31. Both the 75km and 44km races will start and finish at The Country Club at Hong Lok Yuen in Tai Po, while the 18km is a point-to-point course that will start on Bride’s Pool Road at Tai Mei Tuk and finish at Hong Lok Yuen. All distances will traverse the Pat Sin Leng range and Cloudy Hill, arguably the toughest climbs of the courses.

T After covering Wan Chai North in the last issue, we now bring Building on readers across Victoria Harbour to Kowloon East for a look at the history of Kwun Tong. Our feature story starts with the origins of the district’s name and moves on to Kwun Tong’s transformation from a barren piece of land into a prosperous community. From an industrial a rich hub, it is now a core commercial district, and a cultural and leisure destination. Rising above Kwun Tong is Millennium City 1, a grade A commercial history complex owned by Sun Hung Kai Properties which, in addition to being a prominent landmark, has also contributed to the district’s transformation over the past decade. Each new phase of Millennium 繼往開來 City adds to the skyline of Kowloon East, and to a commercial hub outside Central. We also approached two Kwuntongers from different backgrounds to tell their stories about the community, adding to this new perspective of Kowloon East as this historic district enters a new era. This issue also covers a diverse range of business and leisure topics, from the development of local data centres and an employee counselling hotline to the worldwide popularity of cycling, the growing trend of veganism and the art of sartorial tailoring, each offering something to enhance your office life.

  • 立法會cb(2)808/18-19(01)號文件
    立法會CB(2)808/18-19(01)號文件 附件一 Annex 1 Annex 1 Technical Guideline on Prevention and Control of Biting Midges Biting midges are fly belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae. Adults are about 1-4 mm long, dark-coloured with female possessing piercing and sucking mouthparts. 2. Larvae are aquatic or semi-aquatic, being found in damp places or in mud. Adults can usually hatch in about 40 days but cooler weather will lengthen the process to about several months. Adults rest in dense vegetation and sometimes shady places. They fly in zigzag patterns and seldom fly more than 100 meter from their breeding grounds; however, dispersal by wind is possible. Nevertheless, wind over 5 .6 kilometers/hour and temperatures below 10°C inhibit flying. In fact they are so fragile that cool and dry weather will shorten their longevity. Only female bite but they rarely do it indoors. Since they have short mouthparts, they cannot bite through clothing and so exposed body parts are more often attacked. 3. Irritation caused by bites of these midges can last for days, or even weeks. Scratching aggravates the pruritus and may lead to bacterial infection and slow­ healing sores. However, biting midges are not considered important vectors of human diseases locally. 4. Different genera ofCeratopogonidae vary in their habits and biology. The control methodology for different genera should be tailor-made so as to enhance the effectiveness of the control measures. Almost all Culicoides ()!f[~/!111) tend to be crepuscular or nocturnal feeders while Lasiohelea (@~)!ill) are diurnal and bite human at daytime.
