1. Introduction to Unicorns

Introduction to our company, the Unicorns.

A video will be placed on this post later during the week.

UPDATE: Video is completed. Needed to be verified and exported.

2. Mission Statement

Our Mission Statement
Sustainable is development that allows us to develop and live for ourselves without comprising future generations in terms of social, environmental and economic needs.

4. Development Project 2 (Water Sports)

We will have water sports on the silver-mine bay beach in the ocean, and will have different types of water sports like: canoeing, kayak, sailing, snorkeling and much much more. It's different from other places because you will have much more variety of water sports for a inexpensive price and you can learn how to do different water sports, while looking at the unique and beautiful scenery of Mui Wo where you can't see any where else on the ocean of Mui Wo. You can stay overnight in the silver-mine bay hotel so you can have a rest after all of the exercise and take a nice shower. We will form a partnership with the silver-mine bay hotel to try and get cheaper prices/discounts on different things for the customers.

Personal priorities of ideas - Emma

Ideas for Sustainability 

My priorities may differ from yours 

1. Rural farming community (overnight stays of picking vegetables, fruits or, just gardening) 
2. Gastro tour with hotel stay (ties in with government development of cooked market) 
3. Watersports
4. School (abandoned)
5. (tied) Heritage hotel and Olympic trail (sports) [I think this has a limited market] 

Mission Statement

Sustainable is development that allows us to develop and live for ourselves without comprising future generations in terms of social, environmental and economic needs.

Sustainable Development Definition

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Definition of SD - Emma

" What is Sustainable Development? The right to development implies the right to improvement and advancement of economic, social, cultural and political conditions. Improvement of global quality of life means the implementation of change that ensures every person a life of dignity; or life in a society that respects and helps realize all human rights. These changes must include the eradication and alleviation of widespread conditions of poverty, unemployment, and inequitable social conditions. Sustainable development ensures the well-being of the human person by integrating social development, economic development, and environmental conservation and protection. "

I know it's three sentences but the third sentence I think is necessary. Some common ideas that occur in the definitions so far include topics such as environmental conservation, human needs (social), development, meets the needs etc.

Sustainable Development

Sustainable development (SD) refers to a mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come. The term 'sustainable development' was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development: "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.".

Waterfalls

First of all, what is a waterfall?

A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.

How are waterfalls formed?

Waterfalls are commonly formed when a river is young. At these times the channel is often narrow and deep. When the river courses over resistant bedrock, erosion happens slowly, while downstream the erosion occurs more rapidly. As the watercourse increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back to form a canyon or gorge downstream as it recedes upstream, and it will carve deeper into the ridge above it. The rate of retreat for a waterfall can be as high as one and half meters per year. Often, the rock stratum just below the more resistant shelf will be of a softer type, meaning that undercutting due to splashback will occur here to form a shallow cave-like formation known as a rock shelter under and behind the waterfall. Eventually, the outcropping, more resistant cap rock will collapse under pressure to add blocks of rock to the base of the waterfall. These blocks of rock are then broken down into smaller boulders by attrition as they collide with each other, and they also erode the base of the waterfall by abrasion, creating a deep plunge pool or gorge.Streams become wider and shallower just above waterfalls due to flowing over the rock shelf, and there is usually a deep area just below the waterfall because of the kinetic energy of the water hitting the bottom. Waterfalls normally form in a rocky area due to erosion. After a long period of being fully formed, the water falling off the ledge will retreat, causing a horizontal pit parallel to the waterfall wall. Eventually, as the pit grows deeper, the waterfall collapses to be replaced by a steeply sloping stretch of river bed.

Hi guys...

This is my first post and Mr. Sims told us to post something, so this is something.
So for Mui Wo, here's a picture of the place. Mui Wo is a rural town on the eastern coast of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The main beach in Mui Wo is known as Silver Mine Bay Beach.

Emma's confirmation

Here to mention that my posting works and I can edit post. Cheers, Emma.
