Brussels, Belgium, February 1, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / Is China back in the international market? How soon and to what degree? What does the new era look like? How should we prepare for it? Where does the sustainability piece fit in the puzzle?
The recent “China Tourists 2023 Webinar” addressed these questions and more. Presented by TourismWebinar, the event attracted high-level speakers and attendees worldwide, including former UNWTO Secretary-General, Dr. Taleb Rifai and first WTTC President, Geoffrey Lipman.
Dr. Reza Soltani organized the event. Previously engaged in international conference business, Soltani founded Tourism Webinars based in Belgium during the pandemic and has since produced over 50 webinars and symposiums with a broad range of topics.
Industry expert, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Georg Arlt kicked off the webinar. He is the Founder and CEO of the China Outbound Tourism Research Institute (COTRI) based in Germany. Deeply involved in the Chinese tourism circle over a 45-year span, Arlt has seen China’s outbound tourism development from its infancy to its pinnacle and rock bottom.
Arlt gave a recount of China’s travel industry practices during the three-year pandemic. COTRI forecasts about 110 million outbound border crossings in 2023, and about 228 million in 2030; About 50% of the trips would be visiting Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan. Arlt laid out the changes and new trends in the industry and shared available resources/tools produced by COTRI.
Arlt and Gary Bowerman recently co-authored and published the book, China Outbound Tourism Handbook 2023: 88 Practical Ways to Prepare for the New Wave of Chinese Visitors. Bowerman is an Asia Travel Analyst for Phocuswright, Director of Check-in Asia, and Co-host for the South East Asia Travel Show podcast. He discussed more details of the book.
The 104-page book introduces the developmental drivers of the first 25 years of Chinese outbound tourism since 1997 and assesses the outlook up to 2030. It mainly focuses on 88 key themes that will influence the new wave of Chinese outbound travel, for example, Adventure Tourism, e-Payments, KOLs & KOCs, Metaverse and Mixed Reality, New Frugality, Patriotism and Winter Tourism. It includes citations from 48 countries/territories and 25 Chinese cities/provinces. With 264 practical tips, the book serves as “a practical handbook for applying insights into practice”. The book is now available on Amazon.
Other speakers at the Chinese Tourists 2023 Webinar included regional experts from Laos, Bhutan, Malaysia, etc. Shradha Shrestha with Nepal Tourism Board introduced the “Nepal Ready for China” initiative, which is an integrated G2G, B2B, B2C and C2C promotional approach.
Cathy Germier-Hamel, CEO of Destination Mekong, based in Cambodia, spoke on behalf of the seven countries/regions organization. She emphasized that destinations need to focus on value over volume, and quality over quantity. She shared that the Mekong region has been working on better offerings in adventure travel/ecotourism, cultural heritage tourism, community-based tourism, etc. to Chinese visitors.
China’s outbound tourism accounted for nearly 20% of global tourism spending in 2019, cited by Professor Haiyan Song of SHTM, HK Polytechnic University. He presented the analysis of China’s outbound travel to Asian countries/regions along with retail expenditures, and he brought attention to a joint research project with WTTC on global retail tourism to be released in several months.
Former Executive Director of IATA and current President of SUNx Malta Geoffrey Lipman, spoke strongly about sustainability while driving economic terms. As an Envoy for Sustainable Tourism Global Center and lead for the new Tourism Panel on Climate Change (TPCC), Lipman urged the travel industry to ensure that predicted growth is sustainable in the sense of fitting into the SDGs and supporting the Paris 1.5 degrees maximum warming scenario.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China recently announced the opening of pilot outbound group tours for Chinese nationals to 20 countries, starting Feb. 6. While savvy travelers and young wanderlusts would opt for FIT and semi-customized travel, group tours will continue to hold a healthy market share with niche markets, such as youth groups and senior groups (55 and plus, with 280 million in China.)
In addition, the Ministry released the week-long Spring Festival holidays (Jan. 21-27) travel data: Domestic travelers totaled 308 million, an increase of 23.1% from 2022 and at 88.6% of the 2019 level; Tourism spending totaled RMB 375.84 billion, 30% increase from 2022 and at 73.1% of 2019 level. In a way, these data partially reflect China’s outbound tourism dynamics.

Terming RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s assertions about Kashmir absurd, JKLF has said the right wing leader must think of his India which is getting closer to disintegration by RSS anti-minority policies.
In a statement issued by the party, it quoted Yasin Malik saying that integrating J&K with India through constitutional measures and military operation and oppression, can only be termed as day dreaming and illogical.
“Instead, (he should) ponder over his own anti-Muslim, anti-Dalit and anti-minority policies which are bound to disintegrate his India,” Malik said. “J&K is not anybody’s inherited estate and this land belongs to the people of J&K.”
“Trampling state subject law, giving permanent citizenship to west Pakistan refugees or any other tactics to change the demography and Muslim character of this land will meet a stiff resistance from the people of J&K and we will even not shy away from spilling our blood while defending our identity and freedom,” Malik was quoted saying.
“People of J&K are a living nation and have courage to defeat the nefarious designs of RSS fascism.”

The first trailer for the ambitious Amazon Prime Video series has also confirmed the definitive premiere date: November 19.
It is the most anticipated and ambitious project of Amazon Prime Video of 2021 and already has a trailer and final release date: The Wheel of Time, adaptation of the long-lived fantasy literary saga of Robert Jordan will debut on the streaming platform on November 19 and the broadcast of its first season will be weekly . On these lines you will find the first preview of the ambitious production, a launch that supposes the first course of a dream come true for many. It lasts just over two minutes and is a true display of epicity and magic. In addition, its visual invoice is absolutely impeccable.
But that is not all. This first advance translates into a first impression of the story for non-followers of the famous fantasy literary saga, but it is also the best chance that fans of The Wheel of Time have had to date to see if it meets their expectations and how much and how faithful the adaptation will be from the original story.
Adored by lovers of fantastic literature and considered one of the best sagas of the genre, the adaptation of the story generates, as it usually happens in these cases, a certain vertigo among many of its readers, but also a great expectation and illusion before the idea of a job well done. At the moment we know that Amazon is firmly committed to the project and has already commissioned a second season of the series whose production began last July, but the story of Robert Jordan is much longer. In fact, The Wheel of Time constitutes on paper a collection of 20 volumes -14 in its original version- published between 1990 and 2013.
Guide to enter ‘The Wheel of Time’, the fantasy series that does not make the biggest mistake of ‘Game of Thrones’
The first trailer of The Wheel of Time is starring practically all of its hard core characters. Starting with the powerful and majestic Moirane for whom Rosamund Pike seems simply perfect, but also Rand, Perrin, Mat, Nynaeve, Egwene and other characters that accompany the protagonist on her first mission. The trailer is also the ultimate proof that the first season will pay a great deal of attention to introducing viewers to the political complexities and depth of the world they are about to step into and leaves no doubt as to the importance of the Aes Sedai, either. the powerful organization of sorceresses to which Moirane belongs and which seeks to maintain order in a world where only women are allowed to use magic.
Nevertheless, Many more hints and revelations of the adaptation can be extracted from the trailer, some of them listed by ScreenRant, which we will summarize below.
1. Greater importance of Nynaeve and Egwene
The trailer for The Wheel of Time It begins with a brief look at two of the female characters that make up the series’ cast: Nynaeve and Egwene, played by Zöe Robins and Madeleine Madden, respectively. Nynaeve is Emond’s Field Dowser, a healer and leader of the women’s circle of the small town where the story begins, while Edwene is the daughter of the town’s mayor with unusual potential and future within the Aes Sedai. Both begin as secondary characters in the books and gain prominence as the plots progress, while in the Amazon Prime Video series they promise to be important from the beginning, as it seems to reveal that they are the first characters we see in the trailer.
2. A trip to the place where the adventure begins: Dos Ríos
The world that Robert Jordan devised and built throughout his long-lived saga is huge and has a lot to offer viewers, but before it begins to expand, it begins in a very concrete and very iconic place: Emond’s Field in Two. Rivers. Followers of the books will be delighted to see the place come to life and to see in the flesh this community founded by the descendants of the survivors of the ancient wars against the Trollocs.
This is where the adventure also begins and, although its protagonists had never left the place, a mysterious attack by the famous creatures forces them to flee, leading to the introduction of other iconic places that we also see in the trailer.
3. The protagonists Rand, Mat and Perrin, older for a reason
Three young actors play the trio of male leads recruited by Moiraine. And we see all of them in the trailer: Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara and Barney Harris as Mat Cauthon.
Readers will not have been slow to realize that the characters are older than in the books, which, it seems, responds to a move by Amazon not to be framed within the ‘Young Adult’ feature that is so fashionable. lately. All of them soon Ta’veren -people you point to by The Wheel of Time to correct mistakes- and very very important for the development of the story.
Likewise, the fact that the characters are older in the series makes it easier for the adaptation to better develop the relationships and dynamics between them. The trailer also sheds light on some of the most important turning points in the plots of all of them, such as the appearance of Mat’s dagger and the encounter with the wolf that marks Perrin’s journey.
4. A Tar Valor really true to what you imagined
It is especially exciting in the trailer to see Tar Valon, one of the most important locations in The Wheel of Time. In the novels it is described as “a city situated on a small island in the middle course of the Erinin River” and it is also the center of power of the Aes Sedai. In its center of rise the White Tower, political and social nucleus and from which the sorceresses exercise their power.
5. Inside the Aes Sedai organization
Not only do we see in the trailer the home of the Aes Sedai, but in the two minutes of the trailer we get several glimpses inside the organization and its modus operandi. In fact, we see the sorceresses in full Council inside the White Tower and we get a first look at their organization by color. And it is that, the Aes Sedai are formed by seven ajahs, each one represented by a different color and different purposes and leaders.
There is also a leader for all of them and the most powerful woman in the world, the Amyrlin See, whom we see on her throne.
6. The threat of the Dark One and his followers
Of course, in The Wheel of Time there are several threats and a villain par excellence: the Dark One, who is accompanied by powerful henchmen in his service and who, according to the prophecy, threatens the total destruction of humanity.
The threat is present in the trailer in its different forms, both by the Forgers and the Shadowspawn, so those who know well what they are capable of will have rubbed their hands when they see them appear or intuit their presence in the trailer.
7. Mighty Ian Mandragoran and Moirane
And last but not least: Moiraine, Moiraine and Moiraine. Powerful and a key figure in the series, every time she appears on the screen, epicity takes over the scene. And, as the trailer progresses, more and more. The scenes in question may belong to scattered moments from the first season of The Wheel of Time, but seeing the sorceress and her Guardian working together and using their magic leaves no doubt that they are the perfect combination and that they promise to give us great scenes of action and power.
Amazon Prime Video has also confirmed how the first season of The Wheel of Time. On the one hand, On Friday, November 19, we will see it debut with the premiere of three episodes, while the rest will be broadcast one by one on a weekly basis until December 24.
One of the curiosities of the long-lived literary saga written by Robert Jordan is that the writer died as a result of a serious illness when the story had not yet finished. Fortunately, the author had left numerous annotations and enough information that allowed another famous fantasy author, Brandon Sanderson, to finish his work. Sanderson has also served as a creative consultant for the Amazon series.

Choosing to renovate your home is usually a horrifying determination, and it is always a really tough process. And the precise time spent-whenever you add in gathering ideas, getting plans and permissions, locating contractors, getting bids, and so on-can extend to many months. That delayed the renovation and added $17,000 to the cost. It’s possible you’ll find that contractors who can afford to work in buildings with more extensive specs are inclined to have increased operating prices in order to meet higher insurance coverage requisites.
In case you are paying $300 psf or above, likelihood is there may be factors like structure modifications or structural work, similar to combining flats Moving partitions, including staircases, shifting gas and plumbing, and electrical rewiring all contribute to a higher per-square-foot value, in addition to add to the behind-the-scenes expenditures (more on that under).

About the Game
Semblance is a puzzle platformer where your character and the world it inhabits is made of playdough. Squish, squash and deform your character and the world to solve puzzles in this soft, bouncy world. The world of our character, Squish, is usually entirely soft - but an infection and infestation of hard material has started to spread, feeding off the playdough world to survive. A guardian of the world gives it’s own life to give life to a very piece of the world - creating Squish. Squish must collect the very essences of their world to bring the soft world back to life.
Semblance has been in the minds of Nyamakop Games since 2015 when a mentor suggested expanding on an existing test project. Exploring the consequences of a deformable character in a mouldable world is a unique game design perspective.

Feb 10, 2013, 10:18 PM EST
A single moment of brilliance separated the teams on the scoreboard, but the gap in quality was greater. After the match’s initial settling in period, we knew Nigeria were better. Their superior quality on the ball gave them more promise in attack. As the first half unfolded, the favorites started enjoying large advantages in possession.
Those advantages eventually allowed midfielder Sunday Mba — a 24-year-old midfielder who’s never played outside of native country — to break through, scoring the 40th minute goal that downed Burkina Faso and gave the Super Eagles their third African title, 1-0.
Three Mba touches won the Cup for Nigeria. Trying to settle after poor first touch, Mba (right) poked the ball into over an onrushing Mohamed Koffi and into the penalty area with his right foot before getting a shot off with his left. The ball didn’t hit the ground. Volleying a shot toward the right post before Bakary Koné closed him down, the Nigeria-based midfielder gave the Super Eagles the only goal they’d need. Mba put his name in the history books as the man who reclaimed the title.
That title had been in others’ hands for 19 years. For all the acclaim the Super Eagles have received as a result of being a near-perpetual World Cup qualifier, Nigeria had failed to live up to their reputation at home. With this win, the team turns back the clock, winning their first major title since Jay Jay Okocha and Sunday Oliseh were patrolling the midfield.
Another name on that 1994 team was defender Stephen Keshi, the man who coached Nigeria on Sunday. While Mba may have been the man of the moment in Johannesburg, Keshi was the story of the tournament. Much maligned at home for declining to call in veteran stars Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Peter Odemwingie, Obafemi Martins, and Taye Taiwo, Keshi put his coaching livelihood on the line by wagering a house cleaning would restore some of the Nigerians’ spirit – a pride that had lacking during a 2010 World Cup disappointment and failure to qualify for the 2012 Cup of Nations.
Electing to play a younger, more balanced, and more cohesive team, Keshi saw his gamble vindicated when the Super Eagles ousted tournament favorites Cote d’Ivoire last Sunday. With their 4-1 win over Mali on Wednesday, Keshi’s team got their chance to make history. From the moment Mba’s shot crossed Burkina Faso’s goal line, there was little doubt the Nigerians would have their breakthrough.
Man of the Match: Sunday Mba’s individual effort takes this award, but take that moment away and Burkina Fasi’s Jonathan Pitroipa (right) would have won the award, just deserts for a player who was clearly this tournament’s best. On Sunday, he was the Stallions’ one bright spot in attack, his skill on the ball creating a number of near-opportunities for the underdogs. Whether playing through the middle or back in his customary wide position, he was the only player that troubled the Nigerians.
From the tournament’s outset it was clear: It was time for Pitroipa to step up. To this point in his international career, the Rennes star had failed to replicate his club form for country. As one of the Stallions’ few elite talents, Burkina Faso was only going to go as far as Pitroipa took them.
With a breakthrough performance, the 26-year-old put that criticism behind him. Seeing his red card suspension overturned before the final, Pitroipa nearly completed the first-time finalists’ Cinderella story. With a little more help from his teammates, he might have done it.
Threesome of knowledge: What we learned
Not all sacred cows shouldn’t be worshipped – Nigeria’s diminishing results gave Keshi reason to show his icons the door, but the Super Eagles had to hit rock bottom before somebody (and really, only a few people) saw the light. Other countries with iconic burdens should look to the 2011 Not-So-Super Eagles as a lesson. You should act before you’re forced to do so.
Here in the States, we’re having a debate about Carlos Bocanegra. Fairly or not, people are also starting to whisper about Tim Howard. Italy had to fall flat in 2010, while England’s just recently started moving on from their almost golden generation. These debates happen all over the world.
The lesson to draw from Nigeria: Sometimes moving on doesn’t necessarily mean moving down. Teams get scared that moving the Bocanegras, Cannavaros, and Gerrards of the world aside represents a one-step back, two-step forward scenario, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes the difference in talent doesn’t match the gap in reputation. And reputations are only earned by playing.
Sometimes, you have to take a chance.
Oh these cagey, cagey finals – Burkina Faso wasn’t bad, but Nigeria was a much better team, just as Spain was a much better team than the Netherlands in South Africa. Both games ended 1-0 mostly because of the styles the teams employed. When the difference in reward between winning and losing is at its greatest, it’s no surprise teams become risk averse.
Mexico came out cagey and almost got burned in the last Gold Cup final. Japan beat Australia 1-0 in extra time of the last Asian confederation final. Only Uruguay (2011 Copa America) and Spain (Euro 2012) took recent finals by the horns, though Spain’s 2008 European title was also a 1-0.
There’ve only been three goals in the last five Cup of Nations finals, but that’s not all Africa. Games with these stakes usually produce cagey soccer.
Not every talent plays in Europe - Of course, nobody thinks Europe has a monopoly on world soccer’s talent, but in an age of YouTube, internet streams, and blogs about everything, there is a sense that there are no undiscovered talents, only neglected ones.
Sunday’s final dispelled that notion. The Man of the Match is still playing in the Nigerian league. Godfrey Oboabona (right), one of Nigeria’s central defenders, also plays in his domestic league, while Burkina Faso’s impact substitute, Willy Sanou, is playing in the second division of Japanese soccer.
Those stories might not get people watching Morocco 2015, but it is a reminder that good soccer exists beyond our usual haunts. Tournaments like Copa America, Asian Cup, Cup of Nations and even our own Gold Cup are great showcases for it.
And if you’re lucky, some of that soccer will involve something distinct to that corner of the world. Like vuvuzelas. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Packaged for takeaway
- Mba’s goal wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Victor Moses. The Chelsea attacker’s skill during a 1-on-3 produced the shot that was blocked out to Mba.
- Burkina Faso played a 4-2-3-1 formation. Nigeria stayed with their 4-3-3, but electing not to press high during the early portion of the match, the defensive shape folded into a 4-1-4-1 through most of the first half. Rather than pressure Burkina Faso’s defense, Moses and Brown Ideye, the wingers at the onset, played very deep in Keshi’s initial base setup.
- Sanou came closest to a Burkina Faso goal. A blast along the ground from 18 yards to the right of goal forced goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to palm the ball wide of the far post.
- The referee mistakenly awarded Nigeria a goal kick on Sanou’s shot, meaning Burkina Faso finished their only Cup of Nations final without a shot on goal.
- The win qualifies Nigeria for this summer’s Confederations Cup. They’ll be grouped with Spain, Uruguay, and Tahiti.

Studies have demonstrated significant associations between limited literacy and health outcomes. Yet differences in literacy measurement and the cutoffs used for analysis have made it difficult to fully understand the relationship between literacy and health across the entire spectrum of literacy (i.e., whether the relationship is continuous and graded or whether a threshold exists below which literacy is independently associated with health). To analyze this question, we re-examined the relationship between literacy, baseline physical functioning and mental health, and all-cause mortality for a cohort of 3260 US community-dwelling elderly who were interviewed in 1997 to determine demographics, socioeconomic status, chronic conditions, self-reported physical and mental health (SF-36 subscales), health behaviors, and literacy based upon the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S-TOFHLA). All-cause mortality was determined using data from the US National Death Index through 2003. Seven categories of S-TOFHLA literacy scores were created and used in this analysis instead of the existing three categories identified with the measure. In multivariate analyses, a continuous, graded relationship between literacy and baseline physical functioning was identified. However, participants scoring below the third literacy category had significantly worse mental health compared to the highest literacy category, displaying a notable threshold. Finally, all six literacy categories were significantly associated with greater all-cause mortality risk compared to the highest literacy category, but again there was a marked threshold below the third category at which the adjusted mortality rate significantly increased compared to all other categories. We conclude that the nature of the relationship between literacy and health may vary depending upon the outcome under examination.

An Alderman, James Cappleman to be exact, wants to solve the complicated relationship with the homeless residents in his 46th Ward. He is the voice of a campaign to build tiny homes for people now living on the street.
Videos by Rare
In a video for Boostrap Villages, the alderman appeared as a spokesman – aiming to build tiny homes for Chicago’s homeless. The video – which Cappleman said he saw for the first time Sunday – we have included below.
“It’s been used in other parts of the country, and I was fascinated by it. That’s what intrigued me, and they asked me to come for an interview,” Cappleman told DNAinfo Monday evening. “Tiny homes is a way of giving people the support they need in an environment where they feel more comfortable so they can start focusing on the issues they experience that got them to this place.”
Bootstrap Villages aims to provide the tiny homes for those unable to find housing services “in their neighborhood.” According to its website, hypothetically, it would work with local service providers and complement their efforts.
While Cappleman stressed that “ideally” the villages would be in “all 50 wards,” the nonprofit currently is pursuing one site — in Englewood — very far away from the alderman’s ward.
The alderman did not disagree with Boostrap Village’s choice of location.
“The Uptown area [is] certainly open to lots, [but] in the Uptown area lots go for around $500,000 a lot. In Englewood, they go for less than a $1,000,” said Cappleman. “So, yes, we could pay $500,000 for a lot and put some homes there, but we also could put some homes on lots for $1,000. I’m open to having these tiny homes in the Uptown area.”

Home4Life wins Hunter Residences Program
Last week the Minister for Disability Services Ray Williams announced the Home4Life consortium had won the Hunter Residences Program to support people with disabilities.
The Home4Life consortium includes BlueCHP, Compass Housing and Lighthouse Infrastructure.
The program will see the construction of 69 new homes for people with a disability living in the Hunter Residences.
The Minister for Disability Services, Ray Williams said, “I’m thrilled to give more than 330 residents the good news that their new homes are one step closer to becoming a reality.”
Charles Northcote, Director Home4Life, said he was pleased to welcome Lighthouse Infrastructure to the consortium, given their focus on sustainable infrastructure investment.
“Lighthouse Infrastructure invests in assets which provide essential services to communities and contribute to the public good,’’ Mr Northcote said.
All new dwellings will be built in accordance with the standards for disability housing set by the NSW Government and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Mr Williams said all people living in the Hunter Residences and their families will participate in detailed planning to prepare for the move to their new homes.
“We have listened to what residents and their families want every step of the way in the redevelopment process,” Mr Williams said.
“Residents have told us where they want to live and many have taken the opportunity to move into a new home in other parts of NSW, closer to their families.
“I want to assure residents our top priority is their safe and smooth transition to community living,” Mr Williams said.
A select tender process for a Supported Independent Living (SIL) service provider will commence later this year, with families having the opportunity to meet with potential providers before a decision is made.

School District Cancels “No-Talking On Bus” Rule
CINCINNATI – Less than a week after it begun, the Finneytown School District has changed a controversial rule that banned talking on school buses.
Starting at the beginning of this school year, students on the district’s buses were allowed to speak to other students only when they had the permission of the bus driver. The district said the rule was created to allow the driver to focus on driving safely.
The Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper ran a front-page story on the rule, which triggered a flurry of media interest in the no-talking rule. The school district issued a revision of the rule that same day. The change removed the talking ban; the revised rule says that children may now speak quietly to their seatmates.

The Morgan Hill City Council needs to abandon the effort to narrow Monterey Road in the downtown area.
Among many problems, it is unsafe and creates a parking shortage. On Saturday, Nov. 27, my wife and I decided to go to a restaurant downtown for lunch. After a futile effort to find any parking, we left to find a restaurant out of the downtown area.
The city parking garage is of no help as I have mobility issues and cannot walk that distance to many of the restaurants.
We then witnessed an ambulance and fire engine running red lights and sirens trying to move through downtown from roughly Main Avenue to the site of an emergency, which appeared to be near Spring Avenue and Monterey Road. Vehicles had problems moving over to allow the ambulance and fire engine to pass. If Monterey is narrowed, where and how are vehicles going to pull over? Will emergency vehicles have delayed responses if they are forced to go around downtown?
The council needs to abandon this effort or put it before voters for a choice.

THERE'S NO WAY PAPI'S MORE BELOVED THAN JETER
Okay I have had my beef with Joe Buck. I mean, I have written about his obvious bias against the New York Yankees and his ridiculous commentating across multiple sports, including football. But, last night at the baseball All Star Game, Buck finally crossed the line. When Joe Buck uttered the words, "There's no one on the players' side that is more beloved than David Ortiz," I threw my hands up in disgust.
The previous line was that Derek Jeter is the most admired player in modern day and Mariano Rivera, the most respected. David Ortiz is by no means the most beloved and quite frankly, he should not be even be in the same conversation. Anybody who is not a Red Sox fan would agree. What he is for the Red Sox and the city of Boston, is undeniably beloved. But in baseball? That's a completely different story.
Derek Jeter touched the lives of the baseball community in multiple ways. He is the ultimate example of a class act and he has made contributions to the sport far beyond his sportsmanship, competitive spirit and fan appreciation. You would never hear Jeter utter a bad word about anyone or swear in public, whether it was warranted or not. Ortiz, not so much. I have seen tempers, heard inappropriate language and although he is quite a supportive leader at the All Star Home Run Derby, I still can't wrap my head around the words Beloved=Ortiz.
At the end of the day, you cannot compare Ortiz to Jeter. They are two different competitors who have added their value to the game. But in no way is Big Papi, beloved in the way Jeter has been and will continue to be as he demonstrates grace, poise and an amazing spirit that will far outlast his own life. Joe Buck, once again, you have revealed your negligent reporting and unfounded comments. Yet another iconic sports night ruined by Fox Sports and Joe Buck.

Global climate change embeds opportunities and challenges. In the face of changes in the environment, DSD has committed to exploring and introducing cutting-edge engineering technologies and environmental measures. On one hand, it enhances the operational efficiency; on the other hand, it promotes the concept of sustainable development (covering river revitalisation and energy conservation, etc.), and to realize the goal of co-existence between project works and environmental protection.
DSD has been striving to implement the concept of revitalising water bodies by incorporating green and eco-conservation elements into channel and river training works. These include planting in river channels and along riverbanks, engineering natural stream settings, preserving river ecosystems, enhancing various wildlife growth and introducing landscape designs, which promote greening, biodiversity and environmental beautification while maintaining the drainage capacity. For the purpose of blue-green infrastructure, we wish to create an environment with lush vegetation and beautiful waterscape for the public to get close to the water bodies and treasure the natural resources.
River Revitalisation – Rivers in Our Community
Drainage facilities built in the early years were mainly made of concrete and were designed for flood prevention. As time evolves, the public has more aspiration on water-friendly activities and gradually concerned with the importance of protecting water ecology and effective use of urban space. In response, we have been pushing forward a policy initiative in the 2015 Policy Address. In both large-scale drainage improvement works and the planning of drainage networks for New Development Areas, we have actively introduced innovative ideas for revitalising water bodies in nullahs and river channels.
Revitalising water bodies not only enhances the environment, but also enhances the river ecological value and biodiversity, as well as improves river greening. We will also strive to promote water-friendly activities so that the public can enjoy the river facilities and experience the value of multi-functionality of the water bodies so as to treasure the water bodies and jointly create a more livable environment.
River Revitalisation Elements
Ho Chung River and Upper Lam Tsuen River Improvement Works
DSD completed Ho Chung River and Upper Lam Tsuen River Improvement Works in 2007 and 2012 respectively, thus considerably alleviating the flood risk in the regions. Ho Chung River in Sai Kung and Lam Tsuen River in Tai Po are of great ecological significance. Myriads of wildlife, including bird, fish and dragonfly species, inhabit the two rivers. During construction, we did our utmost to minimise environmental and ecological impacts of our works and keep the land uptake during the river widening works to a minimum in order to preserve the original characters of the rivers.
Examples of conservation measures
Upon the completion of Upper Lam Tsuen River Improvement works, we deserved extensive plant growth on gabion banks and the natural riverbed, with a flourishing natural habitat, and the water quality was improved. These outcomes indicate that the conservation measures were effective. Moreover, the number of bird, fish and dragonfly species in the river were restored to the level before the improvement works and the Hong Kong Warty Newt, the rare species of Lam Tsuen River, was more abundant afterwards, all these results are encouraging.
Kai Tak River Improvement Works
Improvement works were carried out mainly to enhance the drainage capacity of the Kai Tak River. Upon completion of the works, Kai Tak River will meet the latest flood prevention design standards and be able to withstand rainstorms on the scale of a 200-year rainstorm, alleviating the flood risks in Choi Hung Road and surrounding area. In addition to upgrading drainage capacities, we are also taking this opportunity to incorporate aesthetic, greening, landscaping and ecological elements, thus revitalising the nullah into the first urban green river along a serene emerald corridor.
Not only did we install fish shelters and current deflectors at the river to reduce flow speed providing a refuge for fish inhabit, we also installed riverside planters, placed artificial rock planters and built submerged planters along the river allowing different types of plants growing on both banks to accentuate the greening effect. The revitalised Kai Tak River provides refuge for birds and fish with abundant greenery.
Revitalisation of Tsui Ping River
DSD plans to revitalise the nullah along Tsui Ping Poad and King Yip Street into Tsui Ping River. In sync with enhancing flood prevention capacity, we plan to revitalise the existing nullah with environmental, ecological and landscaping upgrading and enhance connectivity along the river and with the surrounding areas. Tsui Ping River will become a new landmark where the public can enjoy the river view and carry out leisure activities.
To manifest the characteristics of Tsui Ping River as a water body, we plan to install a smart water gate at the downstream to regulate the water level and create a waterfall effect. Such design utilises the natural tidal cycle to create waterscape, reducing the use on pumping facilities and hence lowering the energy consumption. On the other hand, the operation of the smart water gate will link to Hong Kong Observatory’s weather forecast system, such that the smart water gate will be lowered during adverse weather conditions to maintain the hydraulic capacity of Tsui Ping River.
We will also provide along the riverside water-friendly features such as landscaped decks and a floating pontoon to promote water friendliness.
Looking ahead Selecting Potential Nullahs and Rivers for Revitalisation
Meanwhile, we have reviewed and assessed major nullahs and rivers in Hong Kong with a view to identifying suitable nullahs and rivers channels for revitalisation. The revitalisation schemes of the Tai Wai Nullah (from Heung Fan Liu to Man Lai Court), Fo Tan Nullah (from Kwai Tei New Village to Hong Kong Sports Institute), and Jordan Valley Nullah (from Shum Wan Shan Pumping Station to Jordan Valley Swimming Pool) have been formulated. Revitalisation schemes will promote the co-use of river channels for other purposes in addition to their function as drainage facilities. Without affecting the drainage capabilities, we aim to demonstrate the multiple values of the water bodies and utilise the river spaces for the co-use of river channels.
Revitalisation of Tai Wai Nullah, Fo Tan Nullah and Jordan Valley Nullah
DSD plans to revitalise the existing Tai Wai Nullah, Fo Tan Nullah and Jordan Valley Nullah with aims to enhance the ecological value of the nullah, provide a greener environment, promote water friendliness and improve the community environment for building a livable city.
In Tai Wai Nullah revitalisation scheme, we will carry out an in-depth investigation on the feasibility of allowing the public to enter the river to conduct water friendly activities as a pilot scheme in order to provide the public with more large-quality-green spaces.
The walkability of the riverside footpath of the Fo Tan Nullah will be enhanced. Without affecting the drainage capacity and management of the river, we will consider utilising some river spaces to install community artwork for the public to view at the riverfront.
The downstream area of the Jordan Valley Nullah will be landscaped and a viewing platform will be built above the river to furnish a leisure space. In the upstream area, pools and fish ladders will be provided for ecological enhancement.
Public Co-Use Facilities
In addition to river courses and drainage works, sewage treatment is also an important part of our work. As the community continues to develop, sewage treatment plants have gradually become close neighbors of the community. While upgrading the sewage treatment facilities to meet the development needs, DSD also attaches importance to the links with the community. In the design process, the community’s inclusive elements such as public open space and landscape facilities are incorporated for the purpose of public enjoyment in the drainage facilities. The construction of a community-integrated livelihood facility will make drainage facilities more accessible to the public.
Shek Wu Hui Sewage Treatment Works (STW) will be upgraded to Shek Wu Hui Effluent Polishing Plant. Apart from expanding the plant to enhance the treatment level, facilities such as a bird watching area, a riverside promenade and an ecological garden, will be integrated into the Shek Wu Hui Effluent Polishing Plant improvement plan. The plan aims to utilise the surrounding natural environment and communities to provide a co-use space for the public to enjoy the beautiful scenery and stand close to the nature at River Sutlej and River Indus.
To this end, DSD has engaged a consultant to design and deliver a community-based co-creation project – “Community Design for Sustainable Development @ Shek Wu Hui Effluent Polishing Plant and the Peripheral Areas”. Using the methodology of design thinking, community members, educators, green groups and other professionals are invited to come together to co-design the co-use space and pre-registered visitor’s area at Shek Wu Hui Effluent Polishing Plant.
Roof greening can mitigate air pollution in urban areas, lower indoor air temperature, reduce building energy consumption, beautify building appearance and create wildlife habitats to improve biodiversity of the surrounding environment. During planning, we engage qualified persons to assess viable locations and their respective structural load-bearing capacities. Construction is carried out only after detailed design is completed. In 2018-19, we carried out roof greening for the following nine DSD facilities:
- Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works – Polymer Storage Building
- Nam Wa Po Village Sewage Pumping Station
- Wai Tau Tsuen Sewage Pumping Station
- Kau To Sewage Pumping Station
- O Tsai Sewage Pumping Station
- Wah Fu Preliminary Treatment Works
- Aberdeen Preliminary Treatment Works
- Ap Lei Chau Preliminary Treatment Works
- Ngau Tam Mei Main Drainage Channel Pumping Station

About me and my therapy practice
The goal of most therapy is to restore balance. Talking about what is going on for you can help clarify your thoughts, lift the weight off your shoulders and/or, over time, dissolve the heavy emotional pain deep inside you. This new, lighter way of being allows you to find the courage, skills and resilience not only to keep going, but to flourish.
My theoretical perspective is Humanistic and Integrative, enabling me to draw from a range of approaches to suit you and your unique needs. Humanistic therapies are empathic and non-judgemental in approach and aim to empower and motivate the client in the therapeutic process. Our work together will be an exercise in exploration and curiosity about what's happening in your body, inside yourself and what is happening in the environment and how the two relate.
In our initial 30 minute consultation, which I offer free of charge, we will discuss your reasons for coming to counselling and how together we might fulfil any expectations or desired outcome you might have. This time together will help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. It is human connection and acceptance that makes therapy productive so our relationship will be key to you feeling safe in exploring your feelings and experiences.
The therapeutic process can bring deeply held emotions to the surface, the idea of which may initially be daunting. However, it can also be comforting, enriching, exciting and empowering, where real and lasting change can take place.

Tesla shares fell after a new report, based in part on the reviews of thousands of vehicle owners, raises questions about the reliability of the electric car maker's Model 3. Consumer Reports says it will no longer recommend the Model 3 due to the reliability issues.
"When we look at the Model 3 a lot of the issues are the electronics," said Jake Fisher, senior director of automotive testing at Consumer Reports. "There are some issues replacing the (navigation/infotainment) screens, for instance, but we've seen other issues in terms of the trim breaking and the glass."
Tesla shares were down nearly 2 percent after the report was released Thursday.
Consumer Reports' recommendation of particular models is based on several factors, including the feedback of vehicle owners, crash test performance, and the testing and reviews conducted by the Consumer Reports auto team. While it reached its conclusion after reading reports of Tesla owners complaining about the fit and finish of their vehicles, Fisher points out that the Model 3 owned and tested by Consumer Reports had a rear window with a small stress fracture...
