" HONG KONG Patrick Marleau Canada Jersey , Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- The government of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is planning to put prefabricated homes on trial among efforts to ease housing supply stress, an official said on Thursday.
The trial sites will be in the Science and Technology Park and the University of Hong Kong, said Secretary for Development of the HKSAR government Michael Wong Wai-lun at the opening ceremony for Construction Safety Week.
The prefabricated houses would be dormitories for young employees of the park and for students of the university, he noted.
Different from traditional construction style Patrice Bergeron Canada Jersey , modular construction uses units produced in factories and thus can reduce work load for construction workers, Wong said.

My name is Warren from www.theolympicspage. I hope you are as excited as me about the upcoming Olympic Games. Below I have a little article about the Olympic Games, do take a read and if you are interested you can visit my website.
The ultimate competition in any sport is, of course, the Olympic Games where Equestrian Sports are one of the oldest categories. The horse's involvement in the Olympics dates back almost 3 Martin St. Louis Canada Jersey ,000 years. Horse sports were incorporated into the Olympic Games shortly after their initial inception when the four horse chariot race was introduced. In fact when you think of the Olympics, the huge stadium or hippodrome is one of the most powerful images. The word "hippodrome" which describes an open air sports stadium with a track around the edge, comes from the Greek word "hippos" for horse and "dromos" for racecourse. The equestrian events are made up of three disciplines - dressage, show jumping and the three-day event which includes both the other disciplines together with a gruelling cross country ride over testing jumps. Each of the disciplines has both an individual and a team competition.
Dressage is often referred to as 'horse ballet'. It is a training method designed to develop a horse's natural abilities and responsiveness to instructions from the rider. The original intent was to train the horse to make it easy to ride in any circumstances Mark Messier Canada Jersey , and to enhance the horse's natural gymnastic abilities. The earliest roots of modern dressage go back to very clearly defined sequential training methods used by riding masters in Europe and classical dressage techniques are still viewed as an important part of the sport today.
Show jumping is probably the most commonly recognised of the principal equestrian sports - who has not tried to mentally lift a horse over a huge jump when watching it on TV? Competitions vary in style and type but basically the horse and rider have to follow a prescribed path around the ring, jumping each of the obstacles in turn. Most exciting are the Puissance events where the fences grow ever higher round by round, or the mad dash around the shortened courses when more than one horse has had a clear round and a winner has to be found.
The Cross Country event is both an endurance test, and an examination of the teamwork developed between horse and rider as they make their way around a long and varied course with demanding obstacles. Event horses have to be at the peak of physical fitness as do their riders - they are the decathletes of the equine world. Horses are carefully monitored to ensure that they come to no harm during these events.
