//An activist detained under Hong Kong’s national security law is planning to apply to the High Court to lift restrictions on the media’s reporting of her bail hearing on Wednesday.

In a message published on Tuesday, Gwyneth Ho argued that laws banning the media from reporting details of bail hearings failed to protect the interests of the accused. The press should be allowed to freely report what happened during those hearings, she said.

“After the defendants under the national security law were arrested and remanded in custody, the reporting restrictions on bail hearings have turned the process into a ‘black box’, and has created widespread fears in society,” she wrote.

“The public has no way of knowing the contents of the bail hearings under the national security law, especially the evidence used by the prosecutors and the courts’ assessment of the defendants.”

Ho is among 47 democracy figures charged with conspiracy to commit subversion, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. They are accused of plotting to subvert state power via an informal primary poll held last July. Only 13 of the 47 have been granted bail since early March.

After being detained for more than six months, Ho will make her bail application at the High Court on Wednesday morning.

She publicised her arguments a day in advance, saying the reporting restrictions set out under section 9P of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance were originally meant to ensure that defendants received a fair trial. The law limits media coverage of bail hearings to basic information such as the defendant’s name, the court’s decision and bail conditions.

Those regulations backfired because the lack of transparency had caused the public to doubt whether the national security law had been fairly implemented, Ho wrote, adding that Hong Kong society was worried about arbitrary arrests based on flimsy evidence.

“In reality, the reporting restrictions benefit the Department of Justice, as it no longer needs to publicly explain the basis of the charges and various political accusations,” she wrote.

“The restrictions have clearly contravened the principle of public justice, and if the courts still refuse to lift them, the public will inevitably suspect that the courts accept this unfair situation.”

The open administration of justice was a fundamental principle of Hong Kong’s common law system, and courts should be scrutinised by the public and the press, Ho said, quoting the city’s former chief justice Denys Roberts.

Hong Kong courts have mostly kept reporting restrictions in place for bail applications under the national security law, though some judges have issued written rulings explaining their decision to grant or refuse bail, which are typically published after a delay.

Earlier on Tuesday, the court again denied the bail application of former pro-democracy lawmaker Gary Fan, a co-defendant in the subversion case. Like most of the 47, Fan has been in custody for months with no trial date lined up as yet.

”Extortionware: 比Ransomware 更難處理。 首先單靠backup 已經不能成為擋箭牌， 當攻擊者進入你的網絡後， 他有可能將敏感資料送到你的「同業」手裡。 從MultiLayer Defense 到Zero Turst ..awareness Education.. 是攻/也是防..

Extortionware is a lot more difficult to predict and protect against. Extortionware attacks are usually highly targeted and are more about the retrieval of data than its destruction or encryption. Once cyber criminals have gained access to your system and taken sensitive information demands are made, usually for money, followed by a threat. For example, criminals may send your company’s intellectual property to competitors or distribute your data online unless they’re paid. However, money isn’t always the motivation behind this sort of attack. The 2015 information leak from website Ashley Maddison was carried out only after hackers gave the company a chance to change their operating policies. The policies weren’t changed and as a result around 36 million user details were released in a highly-publicised leak.

The main concern with this sort of attack is that a backup can’t be you get out of jail free card. Once the criminals have your data there is nothing you can do.

For this video, we went down to Ho Ho Chimek where they assembled a beautiful Bossam platter for me to devour. Ho Ho Chimek is an authentic Korean restaurant located in East Village that specialises in Korean Fried Chicken while also offering a host of other delectable Korean cuisine. For this challenge, I was offered a secret menu Bossam (Korean Pork Belly) option, together with Kimchi Fried Rice and Jajangmyeon Noodles, that were assembled beautifully onto my giant plate.

Bossam is a unique Korean style of eating involving boiled pork belly served with a number of condiments that you then wrap up in a lettuce leaf into a neat little package. For myself, I was given kimchi, garlic, Bibimbap sauce and spring onions. On its own, the pork was reminiscent of char siew, but slightly fattier and sweeter. Eaten with all the condiments in a wrap, the flavours truly complemented one another with the kimchi and garlic tempering the cloying flavour of the pork together with the satisfying crunch of the lettuce.

The Kimchi Fried Rice was topped with fried eggs and had the distinct tangy flavour from the kimchi juice added. It was specked with kimchi and chicken luncheon meat, with the meat adding a needed savoury dimension with each bite. The Jajangmyeon noodles, a noodle dish topped with a thick black bean sauce and bits of pork, was not overpowering in the slightest as is common for poorly done Jajangmyeon, with the unique black bean flavour and juicy chunks of pork.

This was an enjoyable challenge with a good bit of variety, although the unctuous pork became rather overwhelming towards the end especially with my refusal to eat it as a wrap. I also tried their famous Korean Fried Chicken which was extremely crispy and flavourful on the outside, while juicy inside. The soy-garlic marinade really shone through. Additionally, the Bossam is apparently not publicised because it is very difficult for the owner’s mother to create, although it is one of their best offerings.

Do visit Ho Ho Chimek to get your Korean cravings satisfied! They will be offering a slightly smaller version of this platter for $68 from this Friday onwards, with the addition of Tofu Stew, and aptly named “OPPA Zermatt’s Platter”.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER 福島第一原子力発電所事故

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster was caused by the massive tsunami triggered by the Tohoku Earthquake on March 11th, 2011. This was a Level 7 nuclear event, comparable only to Chernobyl.

1. Unheeded Warning

Before the disaster even happened, there were industry experts who warned of mega tsunami-generating earthquakes hitting the area every 800 to 1100 years, with the next one being overdue. But those in charge dismissed such warnings.

2. No Good Robots

During the crisis at Fukushima, high radiation levels at the plant made it desperately hard for human workers to do what they needed to do.

Back in 2001, the Japanese had actually developed extremely capable robots that were deemed technical successes, but then a government task force concluded that a Chernobyl-scale disaster was never going to happen in Japan .

The program was shut down and the robots were dismantled or donated.

3. Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant

The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant was the closest power plant to the earthquake epicentre, yet it successfully withstood the barrage.

While the Fukushima Plant had sea walls up to 5.7 meters, Onagawa had it up to 14 meters.

4. Wrongful Evacuation

Due to miscommunication between the evacuation authorities and the experts who were analysing the fallout, many residents were evacuated from pretty safe areas right INTO the radioactive plume.

5. Evacuation Deaths

More people were killed by the evacuation process in Fukushima
than by the actual earthquake and tsunami, the disaster itself.

People died of fatigue, exhaustion, illness, suicides - losing their homes, not knowing where they would end up, cramped evacuation centres; the whole ordeal was taxing.

6. Geiger-Counter Hobby

After the Fukushima disaster, random radiation hot spots were discovered in unexpected locations.

Radiation levels as high as those in the no-go zone were detected as far as some Tokyo suburbs. This prompted many Japanese residents to take up a new hobby - walking with Geiger-counters through their city or village in search for random radiation levels to report.

7. Animal Guardian

55 year old Naoto Matsumura is the only man brave enough to live in Fukushima’s no-go zone. After the initial evacuation, he returned back
to take care of the animals that were left behind. Not just his animals, but everyone’s.

8. Mutations

There were a few small scale Fukushima discoveries.

9. Human Radiation Effects

No one died from radiation exposure in Fukushima.

And contrary to a well-publicised, yet poorly-executed, study
that made the rounds in 2015, thyroid cancer rates in Fukushima children were actually lower than the national average.

10. Disobedient Hero

Masao Yoshida was the manager of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant and on March 15th 2011, he lead a brave group, now dubbed ‘The Fukushima 50’ into the radioactive trenches.

With cooling systems crippled and having run out of fresh water, Yoshida decided they would pump seawater straight from the ocean into the damaged reactors.

Then corporate headquarters (TEPCO) ordered him to stop the seawater injection. They didn’t want the corrosive seawater to permanently damage their reactors.

Feeling his superiors were inept for risking a colossal radioactive fallout, Yoshida disobeyed the direct order and continued with the seawater injection.

Many experts now agree that his actions on that day
arguably prevented a much greater catastrophe.
