靈實醫院賽馬會綜合照顧者支援中心揭幕
紓緩照顧者的壓力
靈實醫院賽馬會綜合照顧者支援中心今日(6月16日)舉行揭幕儀式,中心將為照顧者提供不同範疇的支援,冀盼藉此紓緩照顧者的壓力,讓病人可以安心在社區康復療養。
揭幕禮由基督教靈實協會董事會主席兼靈實醫院管治委員會主席關繼祖教授、九龍東聯網總監楊諦岡醫生、香港賽馬會慈善事務部主管(健康社區)陳載英女士、將軍澳醫院及靈實醫院行政總監袁家兒醫生主禮。
關繼祖教授致辭時表示,靈實於將軍澳紥根70年,持續緊貼社會的需要,積極優化各項服務。香港對醫療健康的需求不斷增加,為了提升對社會的承擔,靈實近年推動「築動生命全方位關顧計劃」基建發展項目,而擴建靈實醫院是其中一個重點項目。他特別感謝香港賽馬會慈善信託基金一直以來對靈實各項工作的捐助和支持,包括撥捐港幣$4,000萬元支持靈實醫院的擴建。而靈實賽馬會綜合照顧者支援中心設於新建成的靈實醫院信望愛樓,標誌著靈實服務的新里程,今後除繼續關懷病患者身、心、社、靈的需要外,更可以進一步服務他們的照顧者,紓解他們照顧患病親友的壓力。
楊諦岡醫生致辭時表示,東九龍區內照顧者的需要與日俱增,現時不少長者病患都是「以老護老」或由子女照顧,而照顧者的身心健康亦不容忽視。靈實醫院計劃透過靈實賽馬會綜合照顧者支援中心,為社區內的照顧者提供一站式的社區資源、培訓和支援服務,並藉此擔任連繫社區的橋樑。展望未來,靈實醫院會致力成為照顧者的伙伴,並繼續發揮信望愛精神,藉院內服務和支援中心,幫助更多有需要的病人及其家人。
陳載英女士致辭時表示,照顧者壓力一直是社會關注的議題,香港人口老化,需要受照顧的長者和傷殘人士愈來愈多,照顧者身心的負擔更加沉重。賽馬會一直關心照顧者的需要,多年來支持不同針對照顧者的項目。支援中心能夠順利運作,有賴靈實醫院和參與團隊的努力,祈望支援中心能透過其綜合服務和支援網絡,增加社區對照顧者的支援,以紓解他們的壓力。
袁醫生致辭時表示,靈實賽馬會綜合照顧者支援中心的設立,提供一個平台讓社區可共同協作,資訊匯聚及各方可交流互動。為了達到完善中心服務及建立社區支援網絡的願景,靈實醫院會繼續努力,與社區一起細意栽種,令將來社會能共享美好成果。
支援照顧者服務方向
獲香港賽馬會慈善信託基金撥捐興建的靈實賽馬會綜合照顧者支援中心,透過以病人及照顧者為本的活動,推動義工及社區夥伴為病人、照顧者提供綜合服務,從而建立一個互助關懷的社區。中心將透過講座、工作坊及支援小組,協助病人在復康過程中建立長期支援網絡,紓緩照顧者的壓力;此外會聯繫社區夥伴,發展醫社合作,加強對長期照顧者及出院院友的支援;中心亦會提供基本復康輔助用具作短期外借,以便院友在出院時得到及時的支援,紓緩他們及照顧者的壓力。
A new step towards sustainability from the Cheese Specialist
Dealing with unabated carbon emissions - From farm to table, an optimized supply chain of fresh foods always targets maximum freshness. It is no big deal if the food source is next door but if it is not, speed is critical to guarantee freshness… And moving goods fast also carries a higher environmental cost, an increased carbon footprint. Aware of its unavoidable carbon emissions, Cheese Club decided to be accountable for them, addressing the matter in a more responsible way.
Towards a more sustainable online grocery model – Cheese Club benchmarked various organizations involved into carbon offset programs. It finally decided to collaborate with Climate Partner, a German reliable solutions provider for climate action. Climate Partner audited the cheese specialist’s activities and implemented a methodology to calculate all carbon emissions generated, from purchase from its suppliers to the last mile delivery to its customers. The evaluation also considers ancillary impacts, including the commute of its staff, its electricity consumption and the production and transportation of its cheese boxes and associated packaging.
By partnering with Climate Partner, the company also obtains a carbon neutral label, guaranteeing transparency and credibility to its carbon offset program. Consumers can refer to a tracking ID number to trace the amount of CO2 compensated and the selected carbon offset project. See http://www.climatepartner.com/17542-2110-1002
A socially and environmentally committed project - For its carbon offset program, Cheese Club assessed high-quality and certified projects in the Asia-Pacific region, not only supporting carbon reductions but also engaging people and stimulating local development. It is finally in India that Cheese Club has decided to invest its carbon credits with the Social Impact Project. This Gold Standard certified project provides micro-credits to low-income Indian families, enabling them to purchase more efficient cooking stoves, water filters and solar lights.
While the cooking stoves significantly reduce indoor air pollution and fosters a more sustainable usage of forest wood, the water filters provide a clean drinking water, without the necessity to boil it over an open fire before consumption. Solar lights are also much safer to use and support education and local business by extending visibility hours in India’s finishing days, affected by frequent power cuts on the grid.
Advocating responsibility on top of quality – It is encouraging news that a company like Cheese Club pioneers for a more responsible online grocery model. It is also confirming that beyond the intrinsic quality of a gourmet product, the overall efforts of a company to mitigate its impact on environment carry significant value to its consumers. Why not hope that this good and responsible practice will soon inspire similar moves from other players in the industry? A much-needed effort in Hong Kong, where almost all the food is imported!

Manama, Bahrain -- (ARAB NEWSWIRE) -- The ever-evolving online landscape continues to provide new opportunities for wildlife traffickers on a virtual marketplace where chances of detection are low and profits from selling endangered wildlife can be extremely high.
The challenge is that the Internet and social networking sites facilitate the illegal trade in wildlife and its product—including but not limited to ivory products, lion and cheetah cubs, apes, parrots, birds of prey and reptile skins—through online platform advertising live animals, birds or their products to sellers and buyers. Moreover, these online platforms provide direct sellers and buyers with dedicated pages and groups to traffic wildlife, feeding larger global networks. The ease facilitated though electronic payment platforms is encouraging people to trade in wildlife especially with the encryption tools that allows these people to remain anonymous.
In order to limit the spread of illegal online wildlife trade, IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare), in cooperation with the Supreme Council for the Environment in Bahrain, is implementing a regional training workshop on combating wildlife cybercrime on 14-16 June 2022 in Manama, Bahrain. Conducted by IFAW, with technical assistance from the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), this workshop will train participants on methods to track online activities and report accounts used to illegally trade in wildlife.
“Distinguishing between legal and illegal wildlife trade is particularly challenging online – especially given the huge volume of daily transactions,” said Elsayed Mohamed, IFAW’s Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa. He continued, “There are already many threats on wildlife and their natural habitats, endangered animals cannot survive further pressure coming from the online market which is open 24/7”.
The capacity of wildlife law enforcement authorities in investigating these accounts online must be built to research and audit online accounts violating the law. Moreover, social media platforms and e-commerce sites should adopt policies to combat illegal wildlife trade to support law enforcement agencies responsible for preventing illegal wildlife trade.
The workshop was inaugurated by His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak bin Dina, Minister of Oil and Environment and Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, who indicated in his speech that "with rapid technical development, electronic commerce has imposed itself on society, including electronic commerce in endangered species, which has contributed to the prosperity of this species. The Internet has become a major gateway for advertising wildlife, and some have exploited this technical development for illegal trade in endangered species, so it is necessary to address this illegal trade.
In addition, his Excellency stressed the importance of concerted efforts between all partners and stakeholders in order to strengthen measures and procedures to combat wildlife cybercrime, through tightening control over content, and an immediate response to address these violations. His Excellency also reviewed the efforts made by the Kingdom of Bahrain toward combating the illegal trade of endangered species starting with the accession of the Kingdom of Bahrain to CITES in 2012 until the issuance of Environmental Law No. (7) Of 2022, through the national law on regulating and controlling international trade in endangered species.
This regional training workshop is the first of its kind in the region and includes participants from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan.
Manama, Bahrain — (ARAB NEWSWIRE) —
تستمر الحالة الإلكترونية، التي تتطور باستمرار، في توفير فرص جديدة للمتاجرين بالحياة الفطرية (البرية). هؤلاء التجار يستخدمون الأسواق الافتراضية حيث تكون فرص ضبط تعاملاتهم غير القانونية منخفضة بينما يمكن أن تكون الأرباح عالية للغاية من الإتجار بالحياة الفطرية المهددة بالانقراض.
يتمثل التحدي في التغلب على هذه المشكلة في أن الإنترنت ومواقع شبكات التواصل الاجتماعي تُسَهل التجارة غير المشروعة في الحياة الفطرية ومنتجاتها - على سبيل المثال لا الحصر منتجات العاج وأشبال الأسود والفهد الصياد وأنواع القردة وطيور الببغاوات والطيور الجارحة وجلود الزواحف - من خلال الاعلان عن الحيوانات الحية والطيور أو منتجاتها عبر منصة ما على الإنترنت لتسهيل التواصل بين البائعين والمشترين. علاوة على ذلك، توجه هذه المنصات الالكترونية البائعين والمشترين إلى صفحات ومجموعات مخصصة للإتجار بالحياة الفطرية، وتزويد الشبكات العالمية الأكبر. إن اليسر في التعامل الذي يتم من خلال منصات الدفع الإلكترونية تشجع الناس على التجارة في الحياة الفطرية خاصة باستخدام أدوات التشفير التي تتيح لهؤلاء الأشخاص عدم الكشف عن هويتهم والمحافظة على سريتهم.
من أجل الحد من انتشار التجارة غير المشروعة في الحياة الفطرية عبر الإنترنت، ينفذ الصندوق الدولي للرفق بالحيوان IFAW بالتعاون مع المجلس الأعلى للبيئة في البحرين ورشة عمل تدريبية إقليمية حول مكافحة الجرائم الإلكترونية للحياة الفطرية خلال الفترة 14-16 يونيو 2022 في المنامة، البحرين. ستعمل هذه الورشة التي يقوم بها الـ IFAW بمساعدة فنية من وكالة التحقيقات البيئية (EIA) على تدريب المشاركين على طرائق تتبع الحسابات والأنشطة الالكترونية التي تتاجر بشكل غير مشروع بالحياة الفطرية والإبلاغ عنها.
ذكر الدكتور السيد محمد، المدير الإقليمي لمنطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا في IFAW: "إن التمييز بين التجارة المشروعة وغير المشروعة في الحياة الفطرية يمثل تحديًا خاصًا على الإنترنت - لا سيما بالنظر إلى الحجم الهائل من المعاملات اليومية". وتابع: "هناك بالفعل العديد من التهديدات والضغوطات على الحياة الفطرية وموائلها الطبيعية، ولا يمكن للحيوانات المهددة بالانقراض أن تتحمل المزيد من الضغوط القادمة من سوق الإنترنت المفتوح على مدار الساعة طوال أيام الأسبوع".
يجب بناء القدرات والكفاءات لدى سلطات إنفاذ قانون حماية الحياة الفطرية من أجل البحث والتدقيق في هذه الحسابات الالكترونية. ومع ذلك، يجب أن تتبنى منصات وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي ومواقع التجارة الإلكترونية سياسات تمنع التجارة غير المشروعة في الأحياء الفطرية لدعم وكالات إنفاذ القانون المسؤولة عن منع التجارة غير المشروعة في الحياة الفطرية.
افتتح الورشة سعادة الدكتور محمد بن مبارك بن دينه وزير النفط والبيئة المبعوث الخاص لشؤون المناخ الذي أشار في كلمته إلى أنه "مع التطور التقني السريع فرضت التجارة الالكترونية نفسها على المجتمع، ومن بينها التجارة الالكترونية في الأنواع الفطرية المهددة بالانقراض، مما ساهم في ازدهار هذا النوع من التجارة، وأصبح الانترنت بوابة رئيسية للإعلان عن تجارة الحياة الفطرية. ولقد استغل البعض هذه التطور التقني للإتجار غير القانوني بالأنواع الفطرية المهددة بالانقراض، فكان لابد من التصدي لهذه التجارة غير القانونية.
مؤكدا سعادته على "أهمية تظافر الجهود بين كافة الشركاء والمعنيين من أجل تعزيز التدابير والإجراءات لمكافحة التجارة غير القانونية في الحياة الفطرية عبر الانترنت، و ذلك من خلال تشديد الرقابة على المحتوى، والاستجابة الفورية للتصدي لهذه المخالفات" ، كما استعرض سعادته الجهود التي بذلتها مملكة البحرين تجاه مكافحة التجارة غير القانونية للأنواع الفطرية المهددة بالانقراض بدءا من انضمام مملكة البحرين لاتفاقية سايتس في العام 2012 حتى صدور قانون البيئة رقم (7) لسنة 2022، مرورا بالقانون الوطني المعني بتنظيم ومراقبة التجارة الدولية في الأنواع الفطرية المهددة بالانقراض.
يُشار إلى أن الورشة الإقليمية هي الأول من نوعها في المنطقة وتضم مشاركين من البحرين والكويت وسلطنة عُمان والمملكة العربية السعودية والإمارات العربية المتحدة ومصر والأردن.
Muscat, Oman (ARAB NEWSWIRE) – Shark populations continue to decline due to unsustainable shark catch practices, including shark finning. Hence, as many countries begin to prioritize the importance of marine life protection and fishing regulations, Oman takes the first step to outline science-based shark catch assessments to further regulate shark catch and trade in accordance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES), with the support of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
In the Middle East and North Africa region, Oman will be the first country to carry a study in the direction of outlining a science based shark catch assessment known as “CITES Non-Detrimental Findings” (NDFs). Funded by the Shark Conservation Fund, and with the technical support of Save our Seas Foundation, the three-day workshop will start on 17 May in Muscat, Oman.
What are CITES NDFs?
CITES is a convention regulating the international trade in endangered species between countries, which are referred to as “parties”.
To regulate and systemize the international trade process, CITES designated “Appendix II” list for species which are allowed to be internationally traded for commercial purposes on the condition that it is regulated and its export will not be detrimental to the survival of that species in their natural habitats.
The decision on whether or not the export is detrimental will be determined by the Scientific Authority of the State of export based on the NDF assessment.
NDF is carried out through data collection, which is the core purpose of the NDF. Therefore, to complete the NDF, the data collected must comprise the biological characteristics of the species—breeding period, species count and survival, the pressure on the species in terms of catch and trade, and finally the existing laws concerning its protection.
What is the challenge in outlining NDFs?
Referred to as “non-detriment findings”, these are intended to ensure that exports of individual listed animals and their products and derivatives, have not harmed wild populations or ecosystems which they have come from.
Because the Scientific Authority of each CITES Party is responsible for making NDFs and determining how to do so, the Conference of the Parties (CoP) has not produced binding technical criteria for undertaking NDFs—in other words, NDFs are specifically tailored for each country and it is the countries responsibility to undertake it. Therefore, considerable effort has been made by some CITES Parties, inter-governmental organisations (IGOs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the CITES Secretariat and the CoP to develop non-binding general and taxon-specific guidance for making NDFs. This is where IFAW steps in.
IFAW in cooperation with the Environment Authority, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Recourses, will provide an outline to collect data and complete the NDFs assessment for the most caught shark species in Oman: the silky and bigeye thresher sharks. Participants including local authorities as well as on-ground expertise such as the National Marine Research Centre, and the Environment Society of Oman, will be participating in the workshop and take part in completing the NDFs.
Why are NDFs important?
In the Arabian Seas alone, there are more than 30 different species of shark, and the majority need protection since three-quarters of the species studied are now threated with extinction according to IUCN criteria.
“To be able to protect species, we must know about them” says Akram Eissa Darwich, IFAW’s MENA Program Manager. He continues, “Undertaking NDFs in Oman will support the authorities in making the right decisions concerning trade which will ultimately save them”.
Undoubtedly, building capacity in this scientific route is a necessary step to combat wildlife trafficking, and those who will participate in this novice process will be fundamental in improving the national laws that regulate trade according to CITES.
Steps forward?
IFAW is encouraging other countries to follow lead and begin working on their NDFs which will enable them to develop their national legislation based on scientific research that will ultimately protect more animals that are endemic to the country, and is considered to many, an invaluable national treasure.
Moreover, IFAW is highlighting the importance of neighbouring countries working together as many of the species are migratory and their protection would be impossible without the collective effort of the countries and their unity in the conservation mission.

السايتس هي اتفاقية دولية تنظم التجارة الدولية بالأنواع المهددة بالانقراض فيما بين الدول، والتي يشار إليها باسم "الأطراف". لقد حددت السايتس، من أجل تنظيم عملية التجارة الدولية، قائمة "الملحق الثاني" والتي تضم الأنواع المسموح تداولها دوليًا للأغراض التجارية بشرط أن يتم تنظيم هذا التداول التجاري وأن يتم التأكد من أن تصديرها لن يضر ببقاء هذا النوع في بيئته الطبيعية. سيتم إتخاذ القرار فيما إذا كان التصدير ضارًا أم لا بالنوع من قبل الهيئة العلمية للاتفاقية في دولة التصدير بناءً على تقييم دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع NDF.
يتم تنفيذ دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع من خلال جمع البيانات، وهو الغرض الأساسي من هذه الدراسات. من أجل ذلك، ولاستكمال دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع، يجب أن تشتمل البيانات التي تم جمعها على الخصائص البيولوجية للنوع المدروس: فترة التكاثر، تعداد وبقاء النوع، والضغوط على النوع من حيث حجم الصيد والتجارة، وأخيرًا القوانين الحالية المتعلقة بحمايته.
ما هو التحدي في تحديد دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع NDFs؟
تهدف هذه الدراسات إلى ضمان أن الصادرات من الحيوانات المدرجة ومنتجاتها ومشتقاتها لم تسبب الضرر بالمجموعات البرية أو النظم البيئية التي أتت منها.
نظرًا لأن السلطة العلمية لكل دولة في السايتس هي المسؤولة عن القيام بدراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع وتحديد كيفية القيام بذلك، فإن مؤتمر الأطراف (CoP) لم ينتج معايير فنية ملزمة لإجراء هذه الدراسات. وبعبارة أخرى، فإن دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع مصممة خصيصًا لكل دولة و تقع على عاتق الدول مسؤولية القيام بها. لذلك، بذلت بعض الأطراف في اتفاقية التجارة الدولية بأنواع الحيوانات والنباتات البرية المهددة بالانقراض (السايتس)، والمنظمات الحكومية الدولية (IGOs)، والمنظمات غير الحكومية (NGOs)، وسكرتارية ومؤتمر الأطراف في السايتس، جهودًا كبيرة لتطوير إرشادات غير ملزمة عامة أو خاصة بوحدات تصنيفية معينة من أجل وضع دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع. وهنا يأتي الدور الذي تتدخل فيه الأيفو.
سيقوم الصندوق الدولي للرفق بالحيوان بالتعاون مع هيئة البيئة ووزارة الثروة الزراعية والسمكية وموارد المياه في السلطنة بوضع مخطط لجمع البيانات وإكمال تقييم دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع وذلك لأنواع أسماك القرش الأكثر عرضة للصيد في عُمان: القرش الحريري (Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis والقرش الثعلب أبو عين كبيرة (Bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus. سيقوم المشاركون في ورشة العمل والذين يتبعون للسلطات المحلية إضافة لخبراء حقليين وأكاديمين من المركز الوطني للبحوث البحرية، وجمعية البيئة العُمانية، بالمشاركة في إكمال دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع لهذين النوعين.
لماذا تعتبر دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع مهمة؟
يوجد في البحار العربية وحدها أكثر من 30 نوعًا مختلفًا من أسماك القرش، غالبيتها تحتاج إلى الحماية لأن ثلاثة أرباع الأنواع المدروسة مهددة الآن بالانقراض وفقًا لمعايير الاتحاد الدولي لحماية الطبيعة (IUCN).
يقول أكرم عيسى درويش، مدير البرامج في الأيفو للشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا: "لكي نتمكن من حماية الأنواع، يجب أن نعرفها" ويتابع قائلاً: "إن القيام بدراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع في سلطنة عُمان سوف يدعم السلطات في اتخاذ القرارات الصحيحة المتعلقة بالتجارة بهذه الأنواع والتي ستحميها في نهاية المطاف".
مما لا شك فيه أن بناء القدرات في هذا المنحى العلمي يُعد خطوة ضرورية لمكافحة الاتجار غير القانوني بالحياة الفطرية، وسيكون أولئك المشاركون في هذه العملية الجديدة أساسيين في تحسين القوانين الوطنية التي تنظم التجارة وفقًا لاتفاقية السايتس.
الخطوات قُدُمًا؟
يشجع الأيفو الدول الأخرى على اتباع هذه الخطوة الرائدة والبدء في العمل على إعداد دراسات عدم الإضرار بالنوع الخاصة بهم بما يُمكنَّهم من تطوير تشريعاتهم الوطنية على أساس علمي والذي سيحمي في نهاية المطاف المزيد من الحيوانات المتوطنة في دولهم، والتي تعتبر بالنسبة للكثيرين كنزًا وطنيًا لا يقدر بثمن.
علاوة على ذلك، يقوم الأيفو بتسليط الضوء على أهمية عمل الدول المجاورة معًا لأن العديد من الأنواع مهاجرة، وستكون حمايتها مستحيلة بدون الجهد الجماعي للدول واتحادها في مهمة الحفظ والحماية.

In Finland, over five hundred children and young people took part in an empathy study concerning emotions toward the war in Ukraine. The results of this study, conducted by the Asikkala Municipality and NayaDaya Inc., also reveal the root causes for the emotions and their effects on behavior.
In the study, 541 children and young people from Asikkala Municipality primary school system, between 1st and 9th grades, expressed their emotions and gave reasons behind their emotions toward the war in Ukraine. The most common emotions were sadness, fear, hate, interest, disappointment, compassion, and anger.
The reasons behind the emotions included suffering and death of innocent Ukrainians as well as the threat of the war spreading to Finland. Many responses also underlined the absurdity, incomprehensibility, and injustice of war.
Among the children and young people, the war also evokes hatred and aggression toward President Putin, Russia, and the Russians.
"Over two-thirds of the children and young people expressed negative emotions or compassion toward the war in Ukraine. The reasoning reveals their ability to concretely internalize the purpose of the war. Many of the emotions are crippling and are necessarily not visible to the outside world. Some of the experiences indicate even aggressive behavior. The consequences may turn out to be unfortunate for the Russian children and youth living in Finland", says CEO Timo Järvinen from empathy analytics company NayaDaya Inc.
"The study shows that in our schools we ought to pay attention to the thoughts and emotions evoked by the war in Ukraine. Students will not necessarily bring the topic up by themselves by asking questions, for example. The results indicate that the effects of war live in their minds, regardless. Discussion is needed so the children’s worries, fears, and feelings of hatred become visible and are taken care of. Especially, we must prevent the Russian children from becoming targets of stigmatizing and bullying", highlights Director of Education Petri Haapanen from Asikkala Municipality.
Students’ emotions toward education and the school community are regularly studied in all schools in Asikkala Municipality. Similarly, the school faculty and staff are asked about their experiences in relation to their work and work community. The empathy analytics, which is based on emotions, science, and data, also reveals the impact emotions have on peoples’ behavior and engagement.
”Asikkala Municipality aims to be a forerunner in promoting wellbeing. Hearing out children’s and young people’s emotions and openly discussing the study results is always sustainable way to act and especially so in a state of emergency such as Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Empathy, prosocial behavior, and psychological safety are our assets amid uncertainty and worry”, says Mayor Rinna Ikola-Norrbacka from Asikkala Municipality.

As the outbreak of COVID-19 in Hong Kong continues, the chance to strengthen employee and client relations is coming and companies are already ordering tailor-made corporate gifts. Therefore, Give Gift Boutique, a leading online gift flower shop in Hong Kong, has been taking lots of orders from companies and organizations and the director said, “There are many companies came to us for two purposes, avoiding unnecessary contact and maintaining their relationships with employees and clients.” And GGB has updated the customized corporate gift service for the pandemic to offer an ideal option for companies to send love to employees and clients.
Work From Home Pandemic Care Hampers
Since the 5th wave of COVID-19 outbroke in Hong Kong, companies are losing their best talent. That’s because employees are feeling stressed and increasingly relying on benefits offerings when deciding where to work in these uncertain times, so employers can no longer afford to treat employee benefits as an afterthought. Also, managing and improving client relationships is the lifeblood of any company. Obviously, the priority in HK now is health and that’s why GGB launched Work From Home Pandemic Care Hampers with CE accredited COVID-19 rapid antigen detection kits, sanitizer hand soaps, advanced hand sanitizers, and high-end nourishing food and supplements, and of course, there are delicious food and famous wine from over the world too. These thoughtful gifts will surely surprise the employees and clients and encourage them to go through hard days together.
Customized Corporate Gifts
During the pandemic, GGB has been taking orders from many companies for Virus Protection & Antigen Rapid Test Gifts, including COVID-19 rapid antigen detection kits, masks, advanced hand sanitizers, etc. What’s more, GGB is offering customized corporate gifts to meet any request for gifts from companies, providing bouquets, fruits, wine, food, and so on.

Easter in 2022 falls on Sunday, April 17, and therefore Give Gift Boutique launched a brand new series of Easter gift hampers as it is a very significant date within Christianity and is also celebrated by the general public.
Easter Bunny
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Easter might be a rabbit. Easter comes during spring and celebrates new life and the rabbit is always a symbol of fertility, but there’s no certainty as to why it became associated with Easter. Nowadays, Easter Bunnies come as the envoy with Easter eggs just like Santa at Christmas. Give Gift Boutique combined Easter Bunnies with delicious food over the world to design the new series of Easter gift hampers, providing home delivery service throughout Hong Kong on time. Bulk orders will be delivered separately to different addresses for employees, clients, and business partners to send holiday greetings.
Price: $1005 HKD
Price: $570 HKD
Easter Eggs
Next to the Easter bunny, the most familiar symbol is the Easter egg. Many ancient cultures around the world viewed eggs as a symbol of life. Originally, Christians dyed eggs red to represent the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross, but it’s more common to send egg-shaped chocolate to friends and children as holiday greetings. Hence, GGB designed the new series with delicious egg-shaped chocolate and pastry with brightly colorful baskets, which makes them perfect to be shared with family and friends.

LONDON, UK – (ARABNEWSWIRE) -- رفضت المحكمة التجارية في المملكة المتحدة يوم الجمعة قضية ثانية رفعتها المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار ضد رجل الأعمال وليد الجهمي، المدعى عليه في قضية بقيمة 200 مليون دولار، رفعتها المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار ضد كريدت سويس وثلاثة مدعاً عليهم آخرون.
يقول محامي الترافع بيلينج (QC) إن المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار لم يكن لديها فرصة حقيقية للنجاح في إثبات أنها قد قدمت ادعاءاتها في الوقت المحدد، وهي نتيجة مماثلة لتلك التي توصل إليها محامي الترافع برايان (QC) في الحكم الصادرعام 2019 في قضية المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار ضد جيه بي مورجن - LIA vs J.P. Morgan. خسرت المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار استئنافها ضد حكم جيه بي مورجن، ولكن مستشار المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار أوضح للمحكمة يوم الجمعة أن المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار لن تستأنف قرار كريدت سويس.
ربما يعني هذا نهاية سبع سنوات من ملاحقة غير مثمرة لبنوك عالمية كبرى بشأن استثمارات تم وضعها لديهم قبيل المراحل الأولى من الأزمة المالية العالمية 2007-2008.
يقول الجهمي: "لقد حان الوقت للمؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار أن تركز على ليبيا". هكذا قرار سيعني وضع حد للثروات التي أنفقت على المحامين في لندن بدلاً من المدارس والمستشفيات والاحتياجات الأساسية الليبية.
وصفت تكاليف قضية كريدت سويس بأنها كانت محزنة في جلسة استماع الأسبوع الماضي، مع اضطرار المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار إلى تغطية نسبة كبيرة من تكاليف المدعى عليهم القضائية، والتي تضمنت عقوبات وذلك لمتابعة قضية قيل في جلسة الاستماع أنها "بنيت على التخمين، وضعيفة، وانتهازية وهزيلة".
في أبريل 2019، كشفت الحكومة الليبية أن المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار أنفقت أكثر من 500 مليون يورو رسوم قضائية متعلقة بالتقاضي ضد بنوك عالمية، والنزاعات بشأن السيطرة على المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار.
لقد نفى الجهمي باستمرار المزاعم القائلة بأنه قام برشوة أو ترهيب موظفي المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار للحصول على موافقات لاستثمارات قامت بها المؤسسة، أو أنه أثر على التعيينات في المؤسسة، أو أنه دفع رشاوى إلى سيف الإسلام القذافي، نجل الديكتاتور الليبي. وقد أكد الجهمي، وهو من أوائل المؤيدين للثورة ضد معمر القذافي، أنه أصبح هدفًا للانتقام مباشرة بعد كشفه عن المصرفيين الفاسدين في نظام القذافي السابق لقادة الثورة.
استمر استهداف الجهمي بعد أن أعيد بعض مصرفي القذافي إلى مواقع النفوذ في ليبيا بعد الثورة. في حين يصرف التقاضي ضد البنوك الغربية الانتباه عن الأسئلة المتعلقة بالأموال المفقودة في عهد القذافي، وعن الفساد المستمر في الوقت الراهن في ليبيا.
يقول الجهمي: "الدعاوى التي رفعت ضدي تعود إلى عام 2008، والتي كانت موضعا للتقصي من قبل السلطات الأمريكية و البريطانية و السويسرية، لم تسفر عن أي نتائج ضدي." "لقد كررت المؤسسة الليبية للاستثمار باستمرار نفس الادعاءات، لكنها تخلت عن القضية عندما أتيحت الفرصة للفصل في هذه الادعاءات من قبل المحكمة".
"لقد حرمني هذا فرصة تبرئة نفسي، وفرصة أن تنظر المحاكم في كم المعلومات الهائل الذي قدمته لها بشأن الفساد المصرفي والمالي منذ عهد نظام القذافي. وقد أتيحت الفرصة للأطراف المعنية للرد على البيانات التي قدمتها إلى المحاكم بالتفصيل إذا أرادوا ذلك، ولكنهم لم يفعلوا".
LONDON, UK – (ARAB NEWSWIRE) -- The UK Commercial Court on Friday dismissed a second case brought by the Libyan Investment Authority against businessman Walid Giahmi, a defendant in the $US 200 million case the LIA brought against Credit Suisse and three other defendants. See Case No: CL-2019-000691 with Neutral Citation Number: [2021] EWHC 2684 (Comm) that was presided at THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE BUSINESS AND PROPERTY COURTS OF ENGLAND AND WALES COMMERCIAL COURT (QBD) at the Royal Courts of Justice, Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London, EC4A 1NL .
Mr Justice Pelling QC said the LIA had “no real prospect of success” of showing that it had lodged its claims in a timely manner, a similar finding to that reached by Mr Justice Bryan in a 2019 ruling on the LIA vs J.P. Morgan. The LIA lost an appeal on the J.P. Morgan judgement but Counsel for the LIA indicated to the Court on Friday that the LIA will not be appealing the Credit Suisse decision.
This likely means an end to the LIA’s seven-year largely fruitless pursuit of major international banks over investments placed with them on the eve of or the early stages of the 2007-8 global financial crisis.
“It is time that the Libyan Investment Authority concentrates on Libya,” Mr Giahmi said. “This decision should mean an end to the fortunes spent on London lawyers in preference to Libyan schools, hospitals and basic necessities.”
Costs involved in the Credit Suisse case were described as “eye-watering” in last week’s hearing, with the LIA having to meet a large proportion of defendant’s costs, which included some penalty costs for pursuing a case said in the hearing to meet a standard of being “speculative, weak, opportunistic and thin.”
In April 2019, the Libyan Government disclosed that the LIA had already spent more than €500 million on legal fees in litigation against global banks and contesting control over the LIA.
Mr Giahmi has consistently denied allegations that he bribed or intimidated LIA employees to obtain approvals for investments made by the LIA or that he influenced appointments to the LIA or channelled bribes to the Libyan dictator’s son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi. An early supporter of the revolution against Muammar Gaddafi, Giahmi maintains that he became the target of retaliation immediately after identifying suspected corrupt former Gaddafi bankers to the leaders of the revolution.
He continued to be targeted as some of Gaddafi’s bankers manoeuvred themselves back into positions of influence in post-revolutionary Libya, with the litigation against Western banks serving “as a useful distraction” against questions about missing money during the Gaddafi era and continuing corruption in current day Libya.
“The allegations against me date back to 2008 and were the subject of UK, US and Swiss regulatory inquiries which produced no adverse findings,” he said. “The LIA has continually recycled the same allegations, but withdrew the case when they had the opportunity to have them determined by a court.
“This has deprived me of the opportunity for me to clear myself, or for the courts to consider the mass of information I have provided on banking and financial corruption from the time of the Gaddafi regime on. If the parties involved wanted to respond to the material I have presented to the courts, they have had every opportunity to respond in specifics and in detail – and they haven’t.”

LONDON, October 31st, 2021 -- (ARAB NEWSWIRE) -- The Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme is an instrumental tool transforming the socio-economic landscape of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Denise Charles, who attributes the nation’s thriving tourism industry to the CBI Programme and welcomes investors from Asia and the Middle East to Dominica.
As the world rapidly changes, invaluable and intangible resources like health, safety and security have become non-negotiable for business people and their families with weak passports. Dominica, nestled in the beautiful eastern Caribbean, prides itself as a nature-prioritising destination in which one can feel safe. Aside from a second home, Dominica’s CBI grants new citizens full living, studying and working rights, business expansion opportunities, and visa-free and visa-on-arrival travel to over 140 destinations.
Becoming a citizen is not just advantageous for personal security and travel, Minister Charles said, it allows one to help build a more modern, dynamic Dominica for all its citizens and residents. “I want to encourage anyone who is seeking a second citizenship to consider Dominica and be a part of something great and transformative,” she added.
“Now, as a nation, we are undertaking the single most transformative project in our history under the CBI Programme: the construction of an international airport,” said Minister Charles. The airport, scheduled for completion in 2025, will “serve as a major gateway to key countries like the United Arab Emirates, the UK, China, other parts of Asia and Africa for trade and travel.”
Through the CBI Programme, Dominica has expanded its tourism product to include luxury eco-friendly accommodations like the recently opened 5-star Kempinski resort. The initiative has funded the expansion of globally recognised boutique hotels like the Secret Bay Residences, which recently celebrated its 100th ROI payment to its CBI clientele, and rebuilt the famous Jungle Bay resort, damaged by tropical storm Erica. Other projects accepting investments through CBI include the Hilton Tranquility Beach resort, the Marriott Anichi Resort and the Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort & Spa.
Vetted applicants to Dominica’s CBI Programme can choose between investing in one of these trusted hotel brands for return on investment or contributing to the government fund. The second option supports youth educational advancement, climate-resilient housing projects, sustainable job certation and economic growth.
