The Athena Project celebrated its sixth year of empowering women in the arts this month with its annual Arts Festival, which showcased fashion, music, theatre, and dance. The gorgeous and urban Eugenia C. Rawls Courtyard Theatre at the University of Colorado's Auraria campus was the ideal space for the presentation of Evening of World Dance on Saturday, March 17, 2018. This intersectional showcase of women choreographers consisted of excerpts from previously premiered works as well as previews of works still in the creative process.
The evening began with Leslie Merrill's piece windows and doors, a multimedia contemporary duet. The dancers' shadows mingled with the double exposure film clips projected on the stage, creating a delicate scene which was reinforced by the piano and strings in the music. This piece gave way to Anna Claire Brunelli's Wild Within, Magic Throughout. A spiritual solo set to the sound of a mantra chanted by the Dalai Lama, Brunelli's geometric movement style stretched from within her, exploring the curvature of the body and accentuating its strength.
Erin Anderson's Triple Threat commanded the stage from its first memorable formation of three dancers stacked over each other, with their long voluminous hair draped over one another. With the initiation of the primal, percussive music, the dancers moved as if one savage beast. They erupted into individuals, stomping about the stage with vigor. The next piece began in the wings, a trio of dancers emerging from behind the curtain in the silence of ever-shifting shared weight. Gwen Ritchie's collaboration in contact improvisation with Chrissy Nelson and Ryder Turner, entitled 11, constantly evolved before the audience's eyes. Set to the soundtrack of the dancers' live breaths and exclamations as they established and diminished forms instantaneously, this playful experience explored human contact and the dynamic of groups of three.
The evening continued to diversify as Caitlin Bronza-Smith's Nephthys took the stage. Three masked goddesses entranced the audience with their Egyptian cabaret style belly-dance. Forms inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics evoked iconic images, and transported the audience to a different scene. Following this illustrative work was Cindy Brandle's The Healing Trio. An emotional and politically charged narrative was demonstrated through dynamic formation changes and exploration of levels through jumps and floor work. Brandle's piece took only two and a half hours to construct in the studio from start to finish, and came into being as a form of catharsis in response to grief.
Lily Padilla's solo piece, Listen to My Silence, explored ballet, contemporary, and modern styles. Light as air and unafraid to take risks, this piece was a testament to the courage required to speak one's mind. In a lively finale, Kebrina Josefina De Jesus' A Rooted Return, brought samba to the stage. Characterized by the quick weight changes and curvilinear shapes of the Afro-Brazilian style, the dancers lifted their long, layered skirts to make their movements even larger. The dancers interacted with the live drummers and orbited around each other in this three-part conclusion to Evening of World Dance.
During a lively talkback between the artists and the audience following the show, an audience member expressed her gratitude for the showcase, and for the privilege to experience so many different languages of dance in one night. Although the styles varied, each piece seemed to convey a similar theme of being grounded in the earth, in each other, and in one's self.

Home/Health/Gel and acrylic nails allergy warning
Gel and acrylic nails allergy warning
Current AffairsAugust 10, 2018
Skin experts are warning a chemical found in gel, gel polish and acrylic nails can cause an allergic reaction.
Methacrylate chemicals can cause a severe, itchy rash anywhere on the body, not just the fingertips, says the British Association of Dermatologists.
It often occurs when gels and polishes are applied at home or by untrained technicians. Gel, acrylic and gel polish nails all contain methacrylates.
A study suggests that at least 2.4% of people could be affected.
The results were based on allergy tests for the chemical on 4,931 patients attending 13 dermatology units in UK and Ireland in 2017.
Most patients developed their allergy through using nail enhancements, nail or eyelash glue – and a third were affected working as nail beauticians.
Dermatologists are urging the public to be wary of gel and gel polish home kits, and say they want to see more training for those who work in salons.
Allergic reactions can occur when the chemicals come into contact with any part of the skin, causing a rash anywhere on the body, including the eyelids, face, neck and genital region.
Nails can also loosen and in very rare cases, breathing problems can occur.
The allergy was found predominantly in women.
'Lifelong consequences'
Dr David Orton, of the British Association of Dermatologists, said: "It is really important that people know they can develop allergies from artificial nails.
"The truth is that there will be many women out there with these allergies who remain undiagnosed, because they may not link their symptoms to their nails, especially if the symptoms occur elsewhere on the body.
"It is important that they get a diagnosis so that they can avoid the allergen but also because developing an allergy to these chemicals can have lifelong consequences for dental treatments and surgeries where devices containing these allergens are in common use."
Dr Orton said the risk was particularly high for beauticians and other people who worked with nail enhancements and they needed to wear special protection in the form of nitrile gloves.
"Salon owners need to consider the level of training they offer staff in this area as there is a genuine occupational hazard that should be mitigated," he added.
Dr Deirdre Buckley, consultant dermatologist from the Royal United Hospital Bath and president of the British Society of Cutaneous Allergy, said many doctors were unaware of the issue.
"Allergy to methacrylates has the potential to behave like many of the other significant contact allergy epidemics that have occurred in the last few decades."
She urged people to be careful when using home kits.
"If you do use one, make sure that you use the recommended UV lamp for curing and read the instructions carefully.
"Using the wrong lamp may mean that the gel polish does not cure properly and this means an increased chance of allergy."
She said any direct skin contact with the methacrylate nail product should be avoided.

Are Residential Additions the Future of Home Building?
Rear, front and side extensions, annexes, rooftop and basement additions and new ancillary structures are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Nidhi Upadhyaya
For its 11th season, Architizer has created a suite of sustainability-focused A+Awards recognizing designers working toward a better future. Start your submission today.
If there is one thing the past year has taught us, it is that our requirements from a home can change any minute. Thousands of people had to shift to working from home during the pandemic, and home offices became a hot topic of discussion. Most people had not planned for this sudden shift and had to find innovative ways to carve a working space that was quiet and Zoom-friendly.
But home offices are just one such example. Changes in lifestyles, family additions, career switches or even a new hobby can change our daily spatial needs. This could be anything from a small terrace greenhouse to a large shed for glassblowing or pottery. To acknowledge the art of residential additions and their importance to sustainable urban growth, Architizer is proud to feature a unique typology category in the 11th Annual A+Awards: Residential Renovations & Additions.
Enter the 11th Annual A+Awards
This category honors the best global projects that include additions or extensions to existing residential buildings. This may include rear, front or side extensions, annexes, rooftop additions, basement additions or the addition of a separate building, such as a pool pavilion, backyard office, studio or shed.
While one might try to break down a few walls or erect new ones within the home's current boundaries, those are not always an option. Limited floor area, structural framework or ventilation and circulation patterns might restrict homeowners from reconfiguring spaces within their houses and apartments, resulting in creative architectural solutions.
Extension C, Saint-louis by Loïc Picquet Architecte, Saint-Louis, France
There can be three ways to look at the problem — moving to a new home, building a new house or creating an extension/addition to the current one. And several factors could affect this decision. How much space do you need? What is your budget? Do you live in an apartment or a house? Are there structural constraints? Does your current home have sentimental value? Are you very attached to your neighbors or the neighborhood?
Home extensions can take place in multiple ways. It could be raising a roof, adding a patio, extending a current room or even creating a disconnected pool house or garden shed. If the plot boundaries allow it, an entertaining area with a hot tub could be a delightful way to extend space or separate social areas. The space can also be used to create a private office and studio. These can also be inserts to add light in living areas or to create a large library. Stacking is a good alternative for times when the site area is limited.

Eichler Front Addition by Klopf Architecture, Palo Alto, CA, United States
Such changes must be done in close collaboration with structural engineers and construction agencies to ensure that the structural system of the current house can handle these additions without compromising its integrity in any way. And if nothing else works, collapsible canopies or partitions can section out corners in the yard for special events.
More often than not, residential additions are significantly cheaper than new builds or moving homes altogether. Another advantage of residential additions is the freedom to customize them. They can either blend in with the current home or stand out and create a new identity for the house, which is exemplified by the Sleeping House Addition. Homeowners have the choice of using a new design language and creating a space that is tailored to their standards and purposes, something that might not have been an option while purchasing the home.

However, like everything, there are a few downsides to home additions to consider as well. Having to live in a home with ongoing construction is not easy, especially if you have children or family members with disabilities or medical conditions. Construction at any scale is a physically, emotionally and financially straining endeavor. In the longer run, an addition could also impact the resale value of the home.
Despite these important considerations, residential additions could well become the future of home construction. Not only are the hassles that come with extensions multiplied if one looks at building a new home, but as sustainability comes to the fore of the AEC construction industry, more and more architects are getting involved in adaptive reuse and renovation projects. As the former president of the American Institute of Architects Carl Elefante famously said, "The greenest building is the one that is already built." Moreover, an extension is not only more environmentally-friendly when compared to demolishing a house and erecting a new one in its place, it is often more wallet-friendly too.

Furthermore, it is a well-known fact that the percentage of homeowners is decreasing as years go by. With increasing land rates and unstable economic patterns, purchasing new homes to accommodate drastic life changes can be extremely difficult. So, we might see more and more families opt for extensions in the coming years.

The powerful and popular Internet search engine Google has seemingly secretly deleted certain controversial websites from its listings in Europe according to researchers, reports CNET's News.com.
Apparently Google responded to legal threats potentially possible through laws in Germany and France. According to those laws hate literature can be prohibited.
Of course within the United States the propaganda of hate groups is protected by the First Amendment, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) would have a field day with Google in the US over such action.
Google previously won praise for its pledge to submit information about any legal threats to a free speech advocacy website, after a controversy developed regarding the deletion of certain listings concerning critics of the Church of Scientology.
What will happen to free speech on the Internet?
Obviously if Internet users cannot find a site they won't know what is expressed by its creators. And typically no matter how offensive free speech is in America it is defended. However, Germans do not always appreciate such freedom and likewise the French, who also experienced the devastation wrought by hate groups during World War II, are sensitive to this issue.

Lakers return $4.6 million coronavirus relief loan
By Alicia Wallace
President Trump says the $484 billion relief package delivers vital funds to the American workforce. Great for small business is great for the workers. In addition to helping small businesses, the bill provides more money for hospitals and testing. Even before the ink dried on this latest deal, calls began for the next phase. The sooner we can pass it, the better because our teachers, our firefighters, our first responders and the rest need the resources nationwide. State and local governments face massive budget shortfalls because of the Corona virus, meaning they may struggle to pay for things such as trash pickup and emergency response services As part of the next deal. Democrats say Congress should help communities financially recover. Senate leader Mitch McConnell suggested letting states go bankrupt instead. It's a really dumb idea. People trying to talk about bringing the economy back reopen in order to close budget gaps. Cuomo, in a bipartisan group of governors, urged Congress to set aside $500 billion for states. So far, Congress has passed at least $2.4 trillion for Corona virus relief. Administration officials say they want to examine all options before adding billions more to the federal budget on see carefully how we want to do it in the future you cannot spend indefinitely.
The Los Angeles Lakers has repaid a $4.6 million coronavirus relief loan the professional basketball organization received as part of the federal government's Paycheck Protection Program."The Lakers qualified for and received a loan under the Payroll Protection Program," a Lakers spokesperson wrote in a statement emailed to CNN Business. "However, once we found out the funds from the program had been depleted, we repaid the loan so that financial support would be directed to those most in need. The Lakers remain completely committed to supporting both our employees and our community."The Lakers — the second-most valuable NBA team with a $4.4 billion valuation, according to Forbes — is the latest big-name entity to obtain and subsequently return money touted as a COVID-19 relief measure for small businesses. The news was first reported by ESPN.The highly trumpeted PPP effort has come under scrutiny following reports that large businesses, including publicly traded companies, received high-value loans. The $349 billion in funding, which was quickly depleted, was intended to help small businesses. Following public scrutiny, businesses such as Shake Shack, Ruth's Hospitality and Kura Sushi said they would return their multimillion-dollar loans.Late last week, the Treasury issued guidance intended to prevent large entities — especially those with other means of securing funding — from receiving the loans. Companies that cannot, "in good faith," prove that the loan is necessary for their business after fully taking into account their liquidity and operations were asked to repay the loans by May 7, 2020.Any loans returned or repaid will go back into the program for future disbursement, an SBA spokesperson told CNN Business last week.The SBA has not disclosed who was approved for PPP loans and the amount received. CNN and other entities have filed Freedom of Information Act requests for this information. More than 200 publicly traded companies received at least $870 million in PPP loans, according to a FactSquared analysis of US Securities and Exchange Commission filings.As of April 16, the SBA had approved more than 1.66 million loans for more than $342.2 billion, according to an agency report. Of those, 4,412 were for $5 million and above. The high-value loans represented 0.3% of the total number of loans and 9% of the overall dollar value."When a wildly successful sports franchise that can afford to pay Lebron James nearly $40 million a year is being shamed into returning paycheck protection program funds, the question we should be asking is why the White House and Congress haven't been more prescriptive about who and what can qualify for help," Kyle Herrig, president of government watchdog group Accountable.US wrote via email to CNN Business. "This program is in desperate need of increased transparency so that struggling mom and pop small businesses on the cusp of bankruptcy can get the assistance they need."

New Online Exhibit Documents Library of Jacques Flach
MU Libraries presents an online exhibit that documents the journey of the library of Geofroi Jacques Flach, a renowned bibliophile and professor of law, from France to Ellis Library in Columbia, Missouri. For forty years, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Professor Flach collected books on the political history of Europe, Mesopotamia, Russia, Japan and Ireland on the subjects of religion, feminism and other social causes. Especially notable are the St. Raymond de Peñafort manuscript Summa de poenitentiate et matrimonio, dating ca. 1200 AD, and Disputatio Inter Clericum et Militem, a rare incunabulum published in Paris in 1498.
Henry Ormal Severance, director of Ellis Library from 1907 until 1937, acquired the library of Professor Flach in Paris in March of 1920. This collection of approximately 6,000 volumes, many of which have Professor Flach's original bookplates, is housed in Ellis Library's Rare Books and Special Collections.
The online exhibit is available at http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/specialcollections/exhibits/flach/index.htm.

Q: How to identify start date and end date using MongoDB aggregation pipeline? Below is array of documents with collection_date. For a given collection date, I wanted to identify start date and end date using MongoDB aggregation pipeline.

                        "$toDate" : "$collection_date"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "$set" : {
                "convertedDate" : {
                    "$substr" : [
                        "$convertedDate",
                        0.0,
                        10.0
                    ]

            }
        },
    ],
    {
        "allowDiskUse" : false
    }
);

My expectation is for a given collection date, I want to identify the start date of that week and end date of that week. In this case, for year 2022, given collection date is 12-01-2022 for which it's start date of the week is 11-28-2022 and end date of the week is 12-04-2022
Expected output:
[
        {
          "convertedDate" : "2022-12-01"
          "startDate" : "2022-11-28",
          "endDate" : "2022-12-04"
        }

> "I wish I did more precourse stuff."

— Every Data Science graduate

<br>
__Goal__: Get you ready to jump into our curriculum on day 1

Please read this entire document before getting started on the individual sections.

Before classes begin, you are expected read the contents in each chapter, complete the code assignments for every chapter, and turn them in.

Please complete and hand in each chapter sequentially.

### How to submit the assignments.
You will submit your solutions with a git [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests). Here are step-by-step instructions of how to do this:

1. Fork this repository (go to https://github.com/zipfian/precourse and click "Fork")
1. [Install git](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git) on your computer
if you haven't already
1. Clone your forked repository onto your computer: `git clone https://github.com/<your username>/precourse`
1. Edit the assignment files with your solutions
1. Add your changes to the repository: `git add <file you edited>`
1. Commit your changes: `git commit -m "My solutions to precourse"`
1. Push your changes to your fork: `git push origin master`
1. Make a pull request by going to `https://github.com/<your username>/precourse` and clicking "Pull Requests" and then "New Pull Request". Then click "Create Pull Request". Put your name in the pull request title and then click "Create Pull Request" again.

It's good idea to commit and push to your personal fork often, even when you're not done. Then you have older versions of your work in case you screw something up or lose something. We will get a notification of your submission once you submit a pull request.

### Common git issues
1. If we've made changes to the repository after you forked it and you want to update your repository to reflect them, you can run this command: `git pull https://github.com/zipfian/precourse master`

2. If you try to push and get "Repository does not exist" this probably means that you cloned from the Zipfian repo rather than your fork. Make sure you did step 1 and created a fork. Then run this command to push: `git push https://github.com/<your username>/precourse master`

Stronach Supports Horseracing Integrity Act

Frank Stronach | Benoit
Frank Stronach, the founder and honorary chairman of The Stronach Group, announced his support for the Horseracing Integrity Act, legislation that will create a uniform, nationwide, conflict-free drug testing enforcement program for horse racing, late Tuesday evening.
Stronach made the commitment on behalf of The Stronach Group after a meeting of industry stakeholders in Lexington, KY, Monday. Among those in attendance were members of CHRI, Stronach and Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY).
The Horseracing Integrity Act is expected to be formally introduced in the House of Representatives in the next few days, with Congressmen Barr and Paul Tonko (D-NY) as the co-sponsors. The original version of the bill, H.R. 3084, introduced last Congress garnered the support of nearly 90 co-sponsors.
"Like Congressmen Barr and Tonko, Frank Stronach realizes and appreciates that this industry sorely needs a national, uniform, anti-doping and medication control program that would be developed and enforced by a private, independent, self-regulatory non-profit organization," said Shawn Smealie, executive director of Coalition for Horse Racing Integrity. "We also expect a Senate version of the new bill to be introduced in the near future and we are heartened by the growing support for this approach not only in the halls of Congress but throughout the horse racing industry."
Congressman Barr added, "There are few people more committed to the future of horseracing in North America than Frank Stronach, a multiple Eclipse Award winner for Outstanding Breeder and Outstanding Owner. To have someone of his stature endorse this legislation puts the Horseracing Integrity Act on a clear path toward success."

Joshua Forest
Trail Traffic
Route Type
Trail Surface
Bathrooms Available
To access the landmark through the northern, Utahn side, you'll need to take Old Highway 91 through the Santa Clara River Valley west of St.George. You'll wind through the desert hills and at the top of the first hill notice a good dirt road on the right, with a sign for the town of Motoqua, but don't turn. Keep going about a mile until you see a paved road on the left. This is the northern entrance to the Mojave Desert/Joshua Scenic Backway, the beginning of a 45.6-mile loop on gravel and dirt roads through the Beaver Dam Mountains until you end up on Highway 91 again.
Once on this trial, you'll leave the highway south of the Shivwits Reservation. Please respect the privacy of the Reservation residents. You'll pass the Apex Mine, which extracted copper since 1890, though not really in use today. From there the gravel trail cross over into BLM land and the trail gets narrower and slightly rougher before you pass Bulldog Pass. Here's where the Joshua trees start to appear.
Unfortunately, thanks to recent fires over the last 20 years, much of the Joshua tree landscape is burnt. However, you can still see the densest population of Joshua trees near the southern end of the trail, close to the Arizona border, where you'll also enter the Woodbury Desert Study Area (used for studying tortoises). Don't forget to take in the fantastic views around you of the brilliant red cliffs in the distance as well as those of Zion National Park. Follow the trail back to Highway 91 to make your way back to St. George or follow another trail along the way!
Utah's own "Dr. Seuss-like" Joshua tree forest inspires a wonder for the complexity and beauty of nature. The Joshua Tree National Natural Landmark in southwest Utah is the northernmost place you can see Joshua trees in the US. As part of the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area, it's also part of the Nature Preserve in Washington County, Utah.
**Note that because the road is not highly maintained these days, high clearance vehicles are preferred but not necessary, especially when dry. The trail length is 45.6 miles.

12-tone variation on Mary Had a Little Lamb, written and performed by Vi Hart From the video "Twelve Tones" http://youtu.be/4niz8TfY794 Sorry about the buzzing sound; this is not intended to be a professional recording.
I love this so much after watching your 12-tones vdo. Cannot stop singing your version!
Vi Hart, the mathemusican, makes beatiful music.
@shufignato: It's "echolocated" as from echo, not eco.
I like those nice deep chords that go along with it too!
Ecolocated!!! That one was pretty cool haha!
This is genius. Every musician has converted well-known major songs to minor and vice-versa, just for fun, but you're taking it to the next level with the 12 tone technique.


The minutes of meeting held on 16 December 1996 were confirmed without amendment.
2. The next meeting would be held on 17 February 1997 at 10:45 am. Members present agreed to discuss the following items at the next meeting:(a) Preparatory Committee Legal Sub-group*s suggestion to repeal and to amend certain Hong Kong legislation;(b) the administrative team to CE(Des);(c) progress of work of Joint Liaison Group; and(d) issues related to the formation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government and co-operation with the Preparatory Committee (PC).
3. Mr Nicholas NG informed the meeting that the Governor met CE(Des) on 23 December 1996 and agreed that they would meet regularly to discuss issues during the transitional period. Moreover, the Chief Secretary would also work closely with CE(Des), and the Administration would provide the necessary assistance to him on the basis of the established parameters.
4. The Administration had consulted CE(Des) and rented an area of 900 square meters in the Asia Pacific Finance Centre as CE(Des)'s temporary office until 30 June 1997. The premises were now being fitted out and should be ready by about mid-February 1997.
5. The Royal Hong Kong Police was providing security protection to CE(Des).
6. Apart from Mrs Fanny LAW, about ten other government officials from the General Grades had been seconded to assist CE(Des). They included one Administrative Officer, some Executive Officers, plus a few secretarial grade and clerical grade staff members. There was also a chauffer. These government officials would be accountable to CE(Des). In reply to Ms Emily LAU, Mr NG said that HKG did not have any plan to second any law draftsmen to the CE(Des) Office.
7. In reply to Ms Emily LAU, Mr NG said that secondment of civil servants to non-HKG organisations was not new. For example, there were secondments to the Legislative Council Secretariat and the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation. In these and other cases, the civil servants concerned were accountable to the bodies to which they were seconded, though they remained as civil servants.
8. In reply to Mr LEE Wing-tat, Mr NG pointed out that the Chinese side and CE(Des) were clear about HKG*s stance on the Provisional Legislature and CE(Des) had indicated that he would not put the secondees in a difficult position. Thus, he believed that the secondees would not be subject to conflicting loyalties.
9. The Chief Secretary had accepted CE(Des)*s invitation to remain to serve the SAR Government. CSB was co-ordinating meetings of incumbent of future Principal Official posts with CE(Ces). The CE(Des) had told the press that he would probably announce the list of Principal Officials at the end of the month.
10. Mr CHEUNG Man-kwong referred to the rumour that some incumbents of future Principal Official posts might not be able to remain in their existing positions after the transfer of sovereignty. He asked whether this would violate Article 100 of the Basic Law, and whether Hong Kong Government (HKG) would clarify the matter at the Joint Liaison Group or through other appropriate diplomatic channels. Mr NG said that both the Chinese and British sides and CE(Des) recognised that the continuity of the civil service was vital to a successful transition. The British side had repeatedly put to Chinese side that the stability of the civil service should not be undermined. As to whether certain incumbents of future Principal Official posts might not be able to straddle 1 July 1997 and whether this was in breach of the Basic Law, Mr NG said that he was not in a position to comment before CE(Des) had made any announcement. However, he noted that according to the Basic Law, all civil servants could remain in employment after the handover but that there were certain requirements to be fulfilled before the incumbents could take up certain posts in the Hong Kong SAR Government.
11. In reply to Mr CHEUNG Man-kwong, Mr NG pointed out that as enshrined in Article 103 of the Basic Law, the existing mechanisms for the appointment and promotion of civil servants would be maintained after the transfer. Regarding the possible candidates for several Principal Officials posts such as Commissioner for Independent Commission Against Corruption, Deputy Financial Secretary, Deputy Secretary for Administration and Deputy Secretary for Justice, Mr NG said that he was not in position to answer on CE(Des)'s behalf. Mr Bruce LIU then asked and Mr NG confirmed that as provided by the Basic Law, CE(Des) had the authority, to choose and nominate Principal Officials for the SAR Government.
12. In response to Dr YEUNG Sum and Mr Bruce LIU, Mr NG confirmed that all members of HKG*s ExCo would need to observe the principles of collective responsibility and confidentiality.
14. Mr LEE Wing-tat asked and Mr NG confirmed that the Chinese side had not suggested through the JLG that members of the team (designate) would participate in JLG discussion. He undertook to revert to the Panel if there was further development on the issue.
15. In reply to Ms Emily LAU, Mr NG referred to the statement made by the Chinese Foreign Minister that HKG would be responsible for the administration of Hong Kong until 30 June 1997 and that there would not be two legislatures operating in parallel in the territory before the handover.
16. Mr NG indicated that he would report to the Panel on any development, when appropriate.
17. Dr YEUNG Sum referred to the Legal Sub-group of the Preparatory Committee (PC)'s suggestion to repeal 16 human rights related ordinances and opined that it would jeopardise Hong Kong's liberty. The Democratic Party strongly objected to the suggestion. He asked whether HKG would raise objection to the Chinese side via JLG. Mr NG informed the meeting that HKG had issued a statement to make clear that the sub-group's recommendations was a retrograde step. There was no legal justification for repealing Sections 2(3), 3 and 4 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance (the BOR Ordinance) as those provisions were consistent with and did not override the Basic Law. HKG hoped that those recommendations would not be adopted. HKG was considering further steps to take.
18. On Mr LEE Wing-tat's question as to whether it was viable to take the case to court for judicial review and declaration that the original provisions in the Societies Ordinance and the Public Order Ordinance were in breach of the BOR Ordinance, Legal Adviser advised that once a legislative provision was repealed, it was no longer part of the Hong Kong legislation and hence it was not possible to apply for judicial review or declaration in relation to those repealed provision. Mr LEE Wing-tat then asked whether judicial review could be instituted if the original versions of the two ordinances were reinstated after 1 July 1997. Legal Adviser said that Section 6 of the BORO Ordinance provided the court with authority to grant remedies for contravention of the Bill of Rights in appropriate cases. With respect to Article 39 of the Basic Law which provided that the International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Convenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights as applied to Hong Kong should remain in force, Mr CHEUNG Man-kwong asked whether members of the public could seek for judicial adjudication and hence remedies if their rights were infringed after 30 June 1997. Legal Adviser said that under the existing legal system and pursuant to Section 6 of the BOR Ordinance, a member of the public could in appropriate cases raise issues relating to alleged violation of the Bill of Rights in judicial proceedings. He reiterated that if the BOR Ordinance was applicable after 30 June 1997, Section 6 of the BOR Ordinance could still be relied on in judicial proceedings.
19. Dr YEUNG Sum asked and Legal Adviser said that Section 3(1) and (2) of the BOR Ordinance supplemented Section 6 of the Ordinance. As to whether the repealing of Section 3 would undermine the BOR Ordinance and the possible effects of such repealing , it was difficult to speculate. Legal Adviser explained that Section 3 of the BOR Ordinance dealt with legislation that was enacted before 8 June 1989, i.e. the commencement date of the BOR Ordinance, to the effect that all pre-existing legislation that did not admit of a construction consistent with the BOR Ordinance was, to the extent of the inconsistency, repealed. The court was empowered to make such declaration. For legislation that was enacted after the enactment of the BOR Ordinance, the Letters Patent required that it should not be inconsistent with the International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights.
21. The meeting ended at 12:30 pm.
