Enrolment Opens for Landmark Sports Governance Certification Course to Strengthen Governance Across Hong Kong’s National Sports Associations

0

Organised by The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute, in collaboration with The Hong Kong Jockey Club and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Course delivers structured, accessible and internationally benchmarked training for those who lead and serve our sporting organisations.

HONG KONG, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute (“HKCGI”) today announced that enrolment is now open for the Jockey Club HKCGI Sports Governance Certification Course (“Course”), a professional certification course designed to elevate governance standards across Hong Kong’s National Sports Associations (“NSAs”). Enrolment is open to NSAs, with a limited number of places also available to HKCGI members and students. The Course is available on a complimentary basis.  

The Course arrives at a pivotal moment for Hong Kong sport. As the city’s athletes continue to distinguish themselves on the world stage, the organisations responsible for nurturing and supporting them must operate at the highest standards of transparency, accountability and professional management. Sound governance practices are fundamental to creating the stable, well-managed environments in which athletes can focus on their training and competition, and in which public confidence in sporting institutions can flourish.

The Sports Governance Certification Course addresses this imperative directly, providing NSAs with practical training in areas ranging from director duties and legal compliance to financial management, strategic planning and ethical leadership. The curriculum has been developed to ensure that participants can apply what they learn immediately within their organisations, strengthening governance from the boardroom through to daily operations.

The Course represents the centrepiece of the Jockey Club HKCGI Sports Governance Programme, made possible through a generous donation from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.

Speaking on the Programme, The Hong Kong Jockey Club (“Club”) stated that they are honoured to collaborate closely with Hong Kong NSAs, sharing the tools, resources and knowledge required to uphold the highest standards of governance. Through the Club’s Charities Trust’s donation, the Club hopes to empower NSAs to strengthen their governance.

The Programme also forms part of a broader initiative advanced by the Sports Governance and Integrity Alliance, a three-year partnership bringing together The Hong Kong Jockey Club, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, HKCGI and the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (“SF&OC”). This Alliance of four leading organisations reflects a shared commitment to strengthen governance and integrity across the sports sector.

“Strong governance is not a ‘nice-to-have’; it is the foundation upon which trusted, resilient and high-performing sport is built,” said Mr Tom SL Chau FCG HKFCG(PE), President of HKCGI. “Through this Course, we aim to support NSAs in strengthening their governance practices in ways that can be applied immediately and that will benefit Hong Kong sport for years to come.”

The Course comprises seven sequential modules totalling approximately 18 hours of online learning and allows participants to study at their own pace. Topics include director duties, legal and regulatory frameworks, strategic planning, financial management, stakeholder engagement, ethics and integrity and implementation of the SF&OC Code of Governance. Participants who successfully complete all modules and pass the final assessment will have their expertise validated with a Certificate of Completion and gain access to the Sports Governance Network, a dedicated platform connecting certified professionals with governance opportunities across Hong Kong’s sports sector.

Registration is open from 25 February to 12 May 2026 at www.sportsgovernance.org.hk

Best-selling Estée Lauder Double Wear is back with a new formulation and it’s selling fast at Myer

0

Beauty icons don’t get reinvented often, and when they do, expectations are sky-high, but this time, the hype is justified.

The new Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup from Estée Lauder has officially launched at Myer, and it is everything people loved about the original, just elevated, modernised and made for how we actually live now.

It’s available in-store and online for $83, and yes, it’s already becoming one of the most talked-about foundation launches of the year.

Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Arrow

Double Wear has always been that foundation. The one makeup artists trust.

The one makeup artists keep in their kits. The one that survives long days, late nights, humidity, heat and everything in between.

Now it’s back with a new formula that still delivers legendary performance, but with smarter skincare benefits and a more natural, skin-like finish.

The cult foundation is back and better than ever.

The new matte is full of life

This isn’t the flat matte of the past.

The new Double Wear delivers a soft, dimensional matte finish that looks healthy, fresh and real. The formula is more fluid, more spreadable and more layerable, giving you medium to full coverage that moves with your skin.

It feels weightless, breathable and comfortable, while still blurring pores, evening out skin tone and covering imperfections.

It’s the kind of foundation that works for everyday wear but still performs for big nights, events and long days on the go.

The iconic Double Wear foundation returns to Myer, reimagined for modern skin and modern life.

36-hour wear with real skincare benefits

Performance is still front and centre.

The new Double Wear offers 36-hour colour-true wear, transfer-proof coverage and resistance to sweat, heat and humidity.

But now it’s powered by Polymer Mesh Matrix Technology, which allows the formula to flex and breathe with your skin instead of sitting stiffly on top of it.

It also balances oil control and hydration at the same time.

67 shades, tailored for every undertone.

You get 36-hour oil control plus 72-hour moisture maintenance, with skin’s oil production reduced over time.

Ingredients like niacinamide, brown algae extract, glycerin and hyaluronic acid work to support skin health while you’re wearing it, making this feel less like makeup and more like a hybrid skin product.

Shade matching

The new Double Wear is available in 67 tailored shades across 10 intensities and 3 undertones, developed using over 15 years of advanced colour capture technology and more than 14,000 real skin tone measurements.

The result is more accurate matching, better undertone balance and a foundation that genuinely looks like skin, not makeup.

The glow-up your makeup routine has been waiting for.

The glow-up

Even the packaging has had a refresh. The iconic recyclable glass bottle is now sleeker, more minimalist and more elevated, perfectly matching the new multidimensional finish of the formula inside.

This isn’t just a relaunch. It’s a full upgrade of a beauty legend.

The new Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup is available now at Myer for $83, and if history is anything to go by, this one won’t stay on shelves for long.

ImmVira’s Oncolytic Product MVR-T3011 Expanded to BCG-Naïve Bladder Cancer Patients for the First Time with Clinical Data Presented at the 2026 ASCO GU Conference

0

SUZHOU, China, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Intravesical BCG is the standard of care (SOC) for BCG-naïve high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. However, the scarcity of BCG products has become a global phenomenon, and coupled with the side effects of BCG therapy itself, means that a substantial number of patients cannot access effective BCG treatment. Therefore, it is essential to seek better alternative therapies to BCG in order to meet clinical needs. Based on this, ImmVira Group is further expanding the clinical trial of its core oncolytic virus product, MVR-T3011—originally targeting BCG-unresponsive high-risk bladder cancer—to further include BCG-naïve bladder cancer patients.

On February 26, 2026, at the ASCO GU 2026 Conference in San Francisco, California, ImmVira Group announced preliminary positive results from its clinical trial evaluating MVR-T3011, an oncolytic virus, in BCG-naïve high-risk papillary Ta/T1 NMIBC patients for its leading oncolytic virus product, MVR-T3011, via intravesical administration. The data were presented in a poster at the Conference.

In the study involving 18 BCG-naïve high-risk papillary Ta/T1 NMIBC patients treated with intravesical MVR-T3011 at two dose levels: 2×109 PFU (3 patients) and 1×1010 PFU (15 patients), preliminary data as of December 31, 2025, demonstrated encouraging efficacy and durability. Among the 14 evaluable patients, the 12-month recurrence-free-survival (RFS) rate was 100% (3/3) at the 2×109 PFU dose level. At the 1×1010 PFU dose level, the 3-month RFS rate was 100% (11/11). The 6-month and 9-month RFS rates were 75% (3/4) and 66.7% (2/3), respectively, but these data are preliminary, given the small patient numbers reaching those timepoints.

Consistent with BCG-unresponsive clinical data, MVR-T3011 maintained a favorable safety profile in this study with most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) being at Grades 1 or 2. No treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were observed.

Bladder cancer ranks as the ninth most prevalent cancer worldwide[1], with approximately 75% of cases classified as NMIBC. While Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains the current SOC for high-risk NMIBC, global shortages have limited its availability. As a result, oncolytic immunotherapy, which offers enhanced immune activation and potential durability, is emerging as a promising alternative.

“We are highly encouraged by the preliminary efficacy and safety data from the study,” said Dr. Grace Zhou, Chairwoman and CEO of ImmVira. “MVR-T3011 shows its potential to serve as a reliable and widely accessible alternative to BCG, ultimately benefiting patients worldwide.”

About MVR-T3011

MVR-T3011, represents a breakthrough in HSV-1-based oncolytic immunotherapy. Its proprietary “3-in-1” design unites a replication-competent, tumor-lytic HSV-1 backbone with anti-PD-(L)1 antibody and IL-12, enabling it simultaneously to lyse tumor cells and stimulate innate and adaptive immunity. MVR-T3011 has demonstrated its adaptability and feasibility across multiple routes of administration including intratumoral, intracavitary and intravenous administrations.

About ImmVira

ImmVira is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is powered by proprietary biological engineering technology, and is dedicated to the discovery, development, manufacture and commercialization of novel oncolytic immunotherapies and engineered exosome therapies. We have strategically designed, self-discovered, and built a risk-balanced product portfolio that comprised two oncolytic immunotherapy candidates for solid tumors and five engineered exosome assets poised for clinical application or direct commercialization. Driven by our vision to become a global leader in the full spectrum of bladder cancer treatment development and unlock the therapeutical potential of oncolytic immunotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), we have adopted a rationalized, adaptive approach to advance oncolytic immunotherapy candidates with high clinical potential globally. In parallel, leveraging our deep expertise in biological engineering, we have pioneered development of engineered exosome candidates targeting chronic, hard-to-treat diseases as well as age-related conditions. These selected engineered exosome assets are being accelerated through differentiated regulatory pathways to enable expedited commercialization and generate sustainable cash flows that will fuel our broader drug development efforts.

Tampa airport issues pajama ban, triggering social media firestorm over dress code controversy

0

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Tampa International Airport set off a social media firestorm Thursday when the organization’s X account posted an alert telling travelers to stop wearing pajamas at the airport.

“It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,” the X post began. 

“We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport. 

“After successfully banning Crocs and giving everyone the amazing opportunity to experience the world’s first Crocs-free airport, it’s time to take on an even larger crisis.

“Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day,” the post added. 

Travelers immediately descended on X to complain or applaud. But it turns out the highly controversial post was a bit of a joke.

“Tampa International Airport regularly shares lighthearted, satirical social media content as part of our ongoing effort to engage with our followers,” Tampa International Airport told Fox News Digital in response to outreach for comment. 

“Today’s post about ‘banning’ pajamas was another playful nod to day-of-travel fashion debates.

“We encourage our passengers to travel comfortably and appreciate our loyal followers who enjoy the online humor.”

Even so, travelers descended on X to share their outrage.

“What kind of authoritarian bulls— is this?” one follower wrote.

“How are you even classifying clothing as pajamas to begin with? Are sweatpants, yoga pants, children wearing soft clothes pajamas?” the traveler continued.

Another traveler disagreed with all of that.

“I love this! Let’s go back to the way it was in the ‘50s, ’60s and ’70s!” the woman said.

A third commenter chimed in, “If they don’t smell bad and aren’t bothering anyone, why do y’all care so much? Can y’all focus on actually cleaning your bathrooms for once and speeding up TSA lines instead?”

The Tampa Airport concluded its post by saying, “We know this decision could be disruptive to someone in your life. It’s time to have a difficult conversation with them. You can do this. We (and Phoebe) believe in you.

“The madness stops today. The movement starts now.

“Help Tampa International Airport become the world’s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport. DO YOUR PART. SAY NO TO PAJAMAS AT TPA.”

This isn’t the first time in recent months that a dress code crackdown stirred the pot.

Last week, Norwegian Cruise Line passengers were angered when the company banned shorts and flip-flops at its premiere restaurants.

“Do not like the new rules for some of the restaurant venues. I am on VACATION, in a warm-weather climate, wearing a [collared] shirt and nice shorts,” one traveler wrote in response to one of the company’s Facebook posts, Fox News Digital previously reported.

“Been on 15 cruises with Norwegian, loved the relaxed style. …Tell the fuddy daddies where to go,” the person added about the new policy, calling it “idiotic.”

TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ

Others disagreed. One said, “Bring back class to sailing. For the nicer restaurants, not too much to ask to require slacks and a nice shirt.”

Another added, “Bravo on the new dress codes for restaurants!”

In November, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he had noticed “a degradation in civility” among air travelers and launched what he called a “civility campaign” to encourage courtesy and patience during the crush of holiday travel. 

Duffy encouraged travelers to “say please and thank you to our pilots and to our flight attendants” and to dress “with some respect.”

“You know, whether it’s a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little bit better, which encourages us to maybe behave a little better,” he said. 

“Let’s try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport. I think that’s positive.” 

Duffy also encouraged passengers to help other passengers who are struggling to put their bags in the overhead bins “as a common courtesy and civility.”

Fox News Digital’s Peter Burke and Greg Wehner contributed reporting.

Best David Jones sale edit: The designer shoes, bags and scents actually worth clicking

0

Every time I find myself scrolling through the David Jones website, I want to click add everything to cart without hesitation, but my bank account would have to disagree with me.

Luckily, while I’m manifesting an abundance of wealth to be able to add all to cart, I see that DJs has up to 25 per cent off fashion for a limited time.

Some might say that’s a dangerous slope (me), but it’s also an excuse to feel less guilty about buying a few extra pairs of shoes to add to my wardrobe.

Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Arrow

DJ’s current flash sale has arrived at the perfect time for anyone who loves designer fashion but shops with one eye on their savings account.

Right now, there’s up to 25 per cent off fashion, shoes, accessories, homewares and sneakers, plus 20 per cent off a curated range of full-priced fragrances until Sunday 1 March 2026.

Which means you can shop like Carrie Bradshaw in spirit, even if your budget says “Australian millennial with bills”.

Instead of spiralling into a full-cart fantasy, I’ve done the sensible thing and picked the pieces that actually make sense to buy.

The ones that feel trendy, timeless and genuinely wearable. The click-worthy pieces that will get you compliments and cost-per-wear satisfaction, not regret.

Staple shoe finds

Ballerinas are officially back, and not in a “primary school uniform” way.

They’re everywhere, from runway looks to influencer street style, and the Puma Catch Soleil ballerina sneaker sits perfectly in that balletcore-meets-sporty sweet spot.

Soft, wearable and trend-aware, they’re the kind of shoe that works with denim, dresses and tailoring. Easy click. Easy outfit upgrade.

If you’re more of a heel person, the Stuart Weitzman slingback is another sale hero. Classic silhouette, grown-up energy, and the kind of shoe that instantly elevates even the laziest outfit.

Dress to impress

A good sale dress should feel special, not seasonal.

The Farm Rio Snake Garden maxi is one of those pieces that looks expensive, photographs beautifully and works for events, dinners and holidays.

Colour, print and movement all in one hit.

For something more structured and chic, Ganni always delivers.

Their knitwear and staples are investment-worthy, and this sale window makes them feel a lot more accessible.

Bags that will actually get used

Statement bags are fun, but everyday bags are the real heroes.

The Dragon Diffusion Nantucket basket bag is perfect for summer, weekends, brunch, markets and holidays.

It’s effortless, neutral and quietly luxe.

If you want something more fashion-forward, the Diesel shoulder bag hits that Y2K revival vibe without feeling costume-y.

Trendy, but still practical.

Sneakers that sell out every time

Sneaker sales are where the smartest clicks happen.

The New Balance 530 is already a cult favourite and for good reason. It works with everything from activewear to dresses and tailored pants. Comfort plus cool factor always wins.

Veja Campo sneakers are another no-brainer. Clean, classic, sustainable and endlessly wearable.

Designer fragrance icons now discounted and dangerously tempting.

Don’t miss out

These discounts are curated, designer-focused, and full of pieces that feel relevant now and wearable long-term.

Shoes you’ll rotate weekly. Dresses that won’t date. Bags that work with real life. Fragrance that becomes your signature.

It’s dangerous in the best possible way, chic damage, financially irresponsible in spirit, financially responsible in execution.
