HONG KONG, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As one of Asia’s top wellness destinations, Hong Kong blends vibrant city energy with crisp autumn air, scenic coastal trails, and tranquil escapes around every corner.

When the 2025 Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon returns on 30 November, the city will once again transform into a thrilling stage for cyclists from around the world. After racing into the excitement, slow down and savour Hong Kong’s restorative side – from the latest sports and leisure landmark to seaside strolls – for the perfect way to refresh body and mind this season.

Cyclothon Carnival – The Ultimate Wellness Playground

The Hong Kong Cyclothon is the city’s largest annual cycling event, where thousands of elite athletes and everyday riders pedal side by side through one of the world’s most cinematic urban backdrops – the signature Victoria Harbour.

While cyclists ride in various races and activities, the Cyclothon Carnival in the West Kowloon Cultural District welcomes all activity lovers to immerse themselves in a plethora of wellness and entertainment experiences.

In the Carnival, workshops led by professional coaches range from classic workouts to emerging sports. The penny–farthing experience introduces participants to the unique high wheeler that dates to the Victoria era, while padel workshops put the spotlight on the new sport that has been sweeping the globe. Stretching, Zumba, and more keep the energy high, while live busking sets the perfect vibe to chill. Refuel with coffee, snacks, gelato, and beer from local food booths, or browse the sports–themed marketplace for sports gear and tech from local and international brands.

Get Moving at the City’s Newest Waterfront Sports & Leisure Hub

Spanning 1.3 million square feet between Wu Kai Sha and Sai Kung, GO PARK Sai Sha is Hong Kong’s newest landmark for movement, wellness, lifestyle and fun on the waterfront.

At GO PARK Sports, athletes and beginners alike can dive into a world of activity, from community tracks for both cycling and running built for professional events to Hong Kong’s only dedicated outdoor pickleball courts. The complex also features the city’s only public golf driving range equipped with advanced Trackman radar technology, plus padel courts, tennis courts, football pitch, lacrosse fields, a balance–bike area and multi–purpose courts.

Down by the water, GO PARK Aqua invites visitors to explore Hong Kong’s idyllic coastal side with kayaking, stand–up paddleboarding, wingfoiling and snorkelling – all set against Sai Sha’s scenic shoreline. Hop on a boat adventure to Sham Chung, a quaint Hakka village nestled among lush nature and geological wonders, and enjoy handline fishing and a sumptuous seafood lunch that highlight the local fishing heritage.

Stroll and Workout in New Spaces Facing Victoria Harbour Panorama

 

Hong Kong’s reimagined waterfronts invite visitors to move and unwind along the city’s most scenic shoreline. As part of the plan to open up iconic harbourfronts to locals and travellers, two new shoreline connections – the East Coast Boardwalk in North Point and the Kai Tak GreenWay at Kai Tak Promenade and Shing Fung Road Park in Kai Tak Development area – offer fresh ways to experience Victoria Harbour at different perspectives from both sides of the harbour.

At the East Coast Boardwalk, stroll, jog, or cycle beside the water while taking in sweeping views. Families can enjoy wave–inspired play zones, outdoor fitness stations, a fishing platform, and sunset–facing seating, mostly sheltered beneath the highway.

Across the water, the Kai Tak GreenWay at Kai Tak Promenade and Shing Fung Road Park follows the path of the city’s historic airport runway, now reborn as a green corridor of shared–use path for cyclists and pedestrian within open promenades, and leisure spaces for the community to gather, relax and explore at their own pace.

From high–energy Cyclothon Carnival, new sports and leisure landmarks to serene waterfronts, Hong Kong has it all. Now’s the time to lace up your sneakers and plan a revitalising escape to rediscover the city’s rejuvenating spirit.

Dakila Pesquisas تعلن عن اكتشاف “النُوتَة الموسيقية الثامنة” والتي تحمل اسم “كال”

ساو باولو،, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — أعلنت Dakila Research Association عن اكتشاف “النُوتَة الموسيقية الثامنة” والتي تحمل اسم “كال”. وجاء الإعلان مباشرةً عبر YouTube من قِبل رئيس المنظمة، Urandir Fernandes de Oliveira، بمشاركة قائد الأوركسترا وعازف الجيتار Robson Miguel. يُعَد هذا الاكتشاف ثمرة عقود من الدراسات متعددة التخصصات التي جمعت بين البعثات الأثرية والملاحظات الميدانية والممارسات الموسيقية.

وفقًا لـ Urandir، كان أول اكتشاف لهذه النُوتَة عام 1992، أثناء قيام الباحثين بالتنقيب عن بقايا أطلال في منطقة نوفا برازيل دو سول (ولاية روندونيا). “لقد عثرنا على حجر يحمل آلاف النقوش، وكان من بينها نقشة تُظهر نوتة “كال”. وأضاف، منذ ذلك الحين، تمكّنا من تحديد الرمز ذاته في مدن برازيلية أخرى”.

تُعُد “كال”، وفقًا للباحثين، رنينًا صوتيًا يبعث على الاستقرار ويمكن إدراكه في نطاقٍ واسعٍ، يُسمَع حينما يتخطى الصوت حدود النُوتَات السبع التقليدية ويمتزج مع النغمات التوافُقية الموسيقية الطبيعية. وأوضح Urandir “إنها اهتزازات أظهرتْها لنا الطبيعة من قبل، وهي لا تتردد بين البشر فحسب، بل وبين الحيوانات والنباتات أيضًا”.

وأشار إلى أن الشعوب القديمة كانت تعرف نُوتَة “كال” بالفعل، وتستخدمها في الأغاني والطقوس. أوضح رئيس Dakila قائلاً، “تتميز “كال” بتردد اهتزازي فريد، يمكنه أن يؤثر إيجابًا على الغدة الزعترية ويمنح السلام والصفاء والصحة. إنها على النقيض من موسيقى الترددات المنخفضة السائدة اليوم، والتي تبعث على اللامبالاة والسلوكيات المدمّرة”.

أكد قائد الأوركسترا، Robson Miguel، أن النُوتَة الجديدة لا يمكن تفسيرها بالحسابات الرياضية وحدها. “لا جدوى من عدّ الاهتزازات. تتواجد “كال” في مستوى بالغ الحساسية، مرتبط بالمشاعر الإنسانية. وأوضح، إنها مخفية داخل النغمات التوافُقية”. وأضاف أن هذا الإدراك يساعد على فهم سبب الحاجة إلى “ضبط” الآلات الموسيقية ولماذا تبدو بعض النغمات التوافُقية أكثر انسجامًا.

انتقد Robson أيضًا مبدأ توحيد الضبط الموسيقي على تردد 440 هرتز، الذي اعتُمد في عام 1939. وصرّح قائلاً، “أخلّ هذا التعديل بالتناغم في العالم وأخرج البشر من حالة الانسجام مع الروح السامية”. وفي عروضه، يستخدم ضبط التردد عند 432 هرتز، والذي يُعتبر متوافقًا مع التردد الطبيعي للأرض (7.83 هرتز، المعروف باسم رنين شومان) ومع النغمات التوافُقية لنُوتَة “كال”. “يتأثر حمضنا النووي بالاهتزازات. وأضاف، ما زال يتردد صدى صوت “كال” في أعماقنا، لكنه كامنًا بسبب التجاوزات السلبية في عصرنا الحديث”.

تطلعًا إلى المستقبل، تخطط Dakila وRobson لإقامة عروض فنية عامة، وإعداد مواد تعليمية، وإنشاء جوقات وأوركسترات شبابية تقدم مقطوعات موسيقية مصممة لإبراز “كال”.

كان من أبرز الفعاليات أيضًا تقديم Bible of Zurik، المصنَّف كأكثر الترجمات دقةً واكتمالاً للكتاب المقدّس. ووفقًا لـ Urandir، يمكن أن “يكشف عن رؤى جديدة حول أصل البشرية، والروحانيات، و”كال” ذاتها”.

Dakila Pesquisas announces the discovery of the “eighth musical note,” called kall

SÃO PAULO, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Dakila Research Association has announced the discovery of an “eighth musical note,” named kall. The announcement was made live on YouTube by the organization’s president, Urandir Fernandes de Oliveira, alongside conductor and guitarist Robson Miguel. The finding is the result of decades of multidisciplinary studies combining archaeological expeditions, field observations, and musical practices.

According to Urandir, the first contact with the note occurred in 1992, when researchers were searching for ruins in the region of Nova Brasil do Sul (RO). “We found a stone with thousands of inscriptions, one of them being the kall. Since then, we have identified the same symbol in other Brazilian cities,” he revealed.

The kall, according to researchers, is a stabilizing and universal resonance, perceived when sound surpasses the repetition of the seven conventional notes and blends with natural harmonics. “It is a vibration that nature has already shown us, and one that resonates not only with people, but also with animals and plants,” Urandir stressed.

He states that ancient peoples already knew of the kall, using it in songs and rituals. “The kall has a unique vibratory frequency, capable of positively influencing the thymus and bringing peace, clarity, and health. It is the opposite of today’s low–frequency music, which promotes apathy and destructive behaviors”, explained the president of Dakila.

Conductor Robson Miguel emphasized that the new note cannot be explained solely with mathematical calculations. “It’s no use counting vibrations. The kall exists on an extremely sensitive plane, linked to human feeling. It is hidden within harmonic sounds,” he explained. He added that this perception helps understand why instruments need to be “tempered” and why certain tunings sound more harmonious.

Robson also criticized the standardization of musical tuning at 440 Hz, adopted in 1939. “That adjustment detuned the world and threw human beings out of harmony with the sublime,” he stated. In his performances, he uses the 432 Hz tuning, considered aligned with the Earth’s natural frequency (7.83 Hz, known as the Schumann Resonance) and with the harmonics of the kall. “Our DNA moves through vibrations. And deep inside, it still holds the sound of the kall, dormant due to the negative excesses of the modern world,” he added.

Looking ahead, Dakila and Robson plan public performances, educational materials, and the creation of youth choirs and orchestras with repertoires designed to highlight the kall.

Another highlight was the presentation of the Bible of Zurik, considered the most faithful and complete translation of the Scriptures. According to Urandir, it can “reveal new insights about human origin, spirituality, and the kall itself.”
