Hereunder is a message from DB Green. We have asked for as much help as possible from the government and the community to help us remove these plastic pellets from the beach.  The government has really stepped up their efforts and is concentrating the bulk of their manpower on the 2 areas that have the highest concentration of loose pellets and are inaccessible to most people.  There are also the usual government cleaning teams that are deployed to maintain the patrolled beaches.  They should have been briefed on cleaning up protocol but if anyone sees otherwise, please can you contact me so we can speak with the relavent department involved. So here is the ‘How To’ guide for you. Pellets on the sand are the easiest to remove just after high tide. The sand will be firm and once the beach dries out a little, the pellets can be easily swept off with a dustpan and brush. There are still a lot of beaches where the pellets are floating on the surface near the sh...

Animal activists proposed the Hong Kong Government to neuter, vaccinate and re-release unclaimed dogs into the community. Condemning the catch-and-kill policy as ‘inhumane and ineffective’, animal welfare organizations are calling for the adoption of a ‘trap, neuter and return’ (TNR) policy, whereby stray dogs can be captured, de-sexed, vaccinated and returned to the communities. “We do not believe that [catch-and-kill] is a humane way of controlling [the stray dog] population. It doesn’t work, because the remaining dogs will just breed and fill the gap ,” says Dr Jane Gray, chief veterinary surgeon of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “The key is de-sexing them so they have a stable population and limited breeding, and eventually the population will go down.” [ Timeout ] However, from the technical point of view on population control, neuter does not work because the remaining dogs will just breed and fill the gap . I just wonder late neuter may introduce ...

There is an exhibition on paper sculpture to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is on 23 Jan 2012. It is one of the traditional Chinese festivals that most of Chinese still treasure it. They would clean up and tidy up their house on the 28th day of 12th  month in the lunar calendar (21 Jan 2012). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. The Buddhist or Taoist families would clean the home altars and statues thoroughly. Before the cleaning, on 24th day of 12th month, they also hold a ceremony for gratitude to the kitchen god who is the recorder of family functions, reporting to the Jade Emperor. They often offer sweet foods to bride the kitchen god.

On 25 Dec 2011, Hong Kong police disposed of a mortor bomb of  45cm long in  Port Shelter Firing Range , Sai Kung.  3 days ago, HKP had disposed of a suspected World War II bomb Thursday after it was found near a popular hiking trail days ahead of the 70th anniversary of the fall of the city to the Japanese. A spokeswoman said the bomb was found Wednesday near the Wilson Trail between Stanley and Repulse Bay on the south of Hong Kong island, where allied forces fought the Japanese in the Battle of Hong Kong. "Based on our initial investigations, it's a bomb but we can't confirm if it's from the World War II era," she told AFP, adding it had been "disposed of". Allied forces defending the former British colony surrendered to the Japanese on Christmas Day, 1941 after more than two weeks of fierce fighting. -AFP/ac
