Hieroglyph 
 Because there are relatively few symbols, the writing is probably syllabic, much like Linear A. Most of the known texts are short: occur on sigils and clay shards.
Papyrus 
 The Egyptians also used the papyrus plants to make boats, mattresses, mats, rope, sandals, and baskets.
Papyrus 
 They were first used in Ancient Egypt, but they were later used throughout the Mediterranean region.
Sodium hypochlorite 
 It is not good for cotton because the sodium hydroxide normally contained eats away the clothing fibers.
Taste bud 
 They are involved in detecting the five (known) elements of taste perception: salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and umami.

Calf 
 A word for the young of some animals, usually cows, but also whales, dolphins, giraffes, bison, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, yaks and elephants.
Nectar 
 This means the animal trying to get the nectar has to touch the parts of the plant that are used for reproduction.
Nectar 
 It is also useful in agriculture and horticulture because the adults of many predatory insects, as well as hummingbirds, eat nectar.
Hunting dog 
 These categories have smaller groups in them that are based on different things the dogs are good at doing.
Hunting dog 
 In America, raccoon, coyote, and large predators are hunted with hounds, and traditionally in Britain hounds were used to hunt the fox.
Hunting dog 
 Flushing spaniels are used when birds being hunted are found in areas where they can hide, for example high grass.
Hunting dog 
 Spaniels stay close to the hunter so when the birds start to fly, the hunter is close enough to shoot them.
Hunting dog 
 By pointing instead of flushing the bird out, they give the hunter time to get close enough to shoot the bird.
Hunting dog 
 Many of the animals hunted with terriers are animals that cause damage, for example, ground hogs, fox and badger.
Purebred dog 
 A breed of dog is a particular subspecies that has been bred through time to exhibit certain characteristics, for example a bulldog is bred to be short and have a flat nose while a greyhound is bred to be light and run fast.
MTR 
 The Mass Transit Railway or MTR (in Chinese, 香港鐵路有限公司, literally "Hong Kong Railway Company"; or 港鐵 for short) is the main rapid transit railway system in Hong Kong.
MTR 
 Built and run by MTR Corporation Limited, the MTR system is a very popular mode of public transport in Hong Kong, with around 2.46 million passengers riding each day.
MTR 
 The MTR was quickly popular with the people of Hong Kong, so later they built more lines to cover more ground.
MTR 
 During the 1960s, the government of Hong Kong thought they need to accommodate increasing road traffic that growing Hong Kong's economy would bring.
MTR 
 British transport consultants Freeman, Fox, Wilbur Smith & Associates were appointed to study the transport system of Hong Kong.
MTR 
 The consultants released the Hong Kong Mass Transport Study in September 1967, which proposed the construction of a mass transport underground railway system in Hong Kong.
MTR 
 In 1970, an underground network with four lines was laid out and planned as part of the British consultants' new report, Hong Kong Mass Transit: Further Studies.
MTR 
 However, the lines that were eventually constructed were somewhat different compared with the lines that were originally proposed by the "Hong Kong Mass Transport Study".
MTR 
 In 1972, the Hong Kong government authorised construction of the Initial System, a 20-km system that roughly translates to the Kwun Tong Line today (except the line now extends to Tiu Keng Leng).
MTR 
 The government's intention was to tender the entire project, based on the British design, as a single tender at a fixed price.
MTR 
 A consortium from Japan signed an agreement to construct the system in early 1974, but in December of the same year it pulled out from the agreement, stemming from fears of the Arab oil crisis.
MTR 
 Several weeks later, in early 1975, a government agency known as the Mass Transport Provisional Authority was established to take charge of the project.
MTR 
 It announced that the Initial System would be slightly reduced to 15.6 kilometres, and renamed it the Modified Initial System.
MTR 
 Plans for a single contract were also abandoned in favour of 25 engineering contracts and 10 electrical and mechanical contracts.
MTR 
 In addition, the government-owned Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC) was established to replace the Mass Transport Provisional Authority. (
MTR 
 Construction of the Modified Initial System (now part of Kwun Tong Line and Tsuen Wan Line) commenced in November 1975.
MTR 
 On 1 October 1979, the northern section was opened, with trains running from Shek Kip Mei to Kwun Tong.
MTR 
 In 1980, the first harbour crossing was made by an MTR train as the Kwun Tong Line was extended even farther to Chater station, now known as Central station.
MTR 
 The government approved construction of the Tsuen Wan Line in 1977, then known as Tsuen Wan Extension, and works commenced in November 1978.
MTR 
 The line started service on 10 May 1982 with a total cost of construction (not adjusted for inflation) at HK$4.1 billion.
MTR 
 When service of this line started, the section of the Kwun Tong Line from Chater to Argyle, present-day Mong Kok station, was transferred to the Tsuen Wan Line.
MTR 
 Thus, Waterloo became the terminus of the Kwun Tong Line, and both Argyle and Prince Edward stations became interchange stations.
MTR 
 This change was made because system planners expected traffic of the Tsuen Wan Line would exceed that of the Kwun Tong Line.
MTR 
 This forecast proved quite accurate, necessitating a bypass from the northwestern New Territories to Hong Kong Island.
MTR 
 This is not to be confused with Tsuen Wan West Station on KCR West Rail, which lies on the newly reclaimed area near the former ferry pier.
MTR 
 It is interesting to note that since the line's opening in 1982, this is the only line whose alignment has virtually remained the same for the past 23 years.
MTR 
 For example, the Kwun Tong Line's alignment has changed for 2 times since its opening - the taking over of Tsuen Wan Line from Mong Kok to Central, and the taking over of Eastern Harbour Crossing section by the Tseung Kwan O Line.
MTR 
 Construction for this station was delayed for one year as government offices which sat on top of the station had to be removed to a new location before construction could start.
MTR 
 In 1984, the government approved the construction of the Eastern Harbour Crossing, a tunnel to be used by cars and MTR trains.
MTR 
 The Kwun Tong Line was extended across the harbour to Quarry Bay, which became an interchange station for the Kwun Tong Line and the Island Line.
MTR 
 The decision was made in October 1989 to construct a new international airport at Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island to replace the overcrowded Kai Tak International Airport.
MTR 
 The government invited the MTR to build a train line, then known as the Lantau Airport Railway, to the airport.
MTR 
 But construction did not begin until the Chinese and British governments settled their financial and land disagreements in November 1994.
MTR 
 In the end, the new line was included in the financing plans of the new Hong Kong International Airport as the airport was not considered viable without direct public transport links.
MTR 
 Construction costs were also shared by the MTR which was granted many large-scale developments in the construction plans for the new stations.
MTR 
 The Tung Chung Line was officially opened on 21 June 1998 by Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa, and service commenced the next day.
MTR 
 The Airport Express opened for service on 6 July 1998 along with the new Hong Kong International Airport.
MTR 
 The Airport Express line is the second most popular means of transport to the Hong Kong International Airport.
MTR 
 The Quarry Bay Congestion Relief Works involved extending the Hong Kong Island end of the Kwun Tong Line from Quarry Bay to North Point via a 4.2–kilometre tunnel.
MTR 
 The project was initiated due to overcrowding at Quarry Bay and persistent passenger complaints about the five-minute walk from the Island Line platforms to the Kwun Tong Line platform.
MTR 
 Construction began in September 1997 and was completed in September 2001 at a cost of HK$3.0 billion (US $385 million).
MTR 
 Construction of the Tseung Kwan O Line was approved on 18 August 1998 to serve new housing developments.
MTR 
 Construction began on 24 April 1999 and the line officially opened in 2002, taking over the train tracks running through the Eastern Harbour Tunnel from the Kwun Tong Line, running from Po Lam to North Point.
MTR 
 Construction costs were partly covered by the Hong Kong Government and private developers which linked construction of the Tseung Kwan O Line to new real estate and commercial developments.
MTR 
 While the construction of the Tung Chung Line was still underway, the plan to build a railway corridor serving the northwestern New Territories was conceived.
MTR 
 Space had been reserved for the addition of an interchange station and two extra tracks (to allow nonstop service for the Airport Express) between Olympic and Lai King.
MTR 
 Originally known as the Airport Railway Phase 2, the contracts of the West Rail Line Interface Works were awarded shortly after construction works of the West Rail commenced.
MTR 
 The project comprised Mei Foo Interchange (modification of the existing Mei Foo station on the Tsuen Wan Line to provide a pedestrian link to the West Rail Line Mei Foo Station); Nam Cheong Station (an interchange station on the Tung Chung Line, jointly operated by the MTRCL and KCRC) and quadruplication works (the additional two tracks, four kilometres in length, allow the Tung Chung Line trains to stop at Nam Cheong without blocking the passage of Airport Express trains).
MTR 
 The Tung Chung Line trains have been diverted to the new track since mid May 2003, whereas the Mei Foo station interchange subway and the Nam Cheong station were opened at the same time the West Rail Line opened for public use in December 2003.
MTR 
 The Kowloon Southern Link extension from Nam Cheong Station to East Tsim Sha Tsui Station was opened on 16 August 2009, with West Rail Line trains now terminating at Hung Hom Station, interchange station for East Rail Line.
MTR 
 The interchange between the Tsuen Wan Line and the Kwun Tong Line, the Island Line and the Tseung Kwan O Line, as well as that between the Kwun Tong Line and the Tseung Kwan O Line, are two stations long, allowing cross-platform interchange wherein a passenger leaves a train on one side of the platform and boards trains on the other side of the platform for another line.
MTR 
 For example, when passengers are travelling on the Kwun Tong Line towards Tiu Keng Leng, getting off at Yau Tong would allow them to switch trains across the platform for the Tseung Kwan O Line towards North Point.
MTR 
 Whereas, staying on the train and reaching Tiu Keng Leng would allow them to board the Tseung Kwan O Line trains towards Po Lam/LOHAS Park.
MTR 
 This design makes interchanging more convenient and passengers do not have the need to change to different levels.
MTR 
 However this interchange arrangement is not available for all transferring passengers at Kowloon Tong, Central, Hong Kong, Nam Cheong (Except transfer between Tuen Mun and Hong Kong bound trains), Mei Foo, Tai Wai Station (Except alighting from Ma On Shan Line to change southbound trains for East Rail Line) and Sunny Bay (Except alighting from Tung Chung bound trains to Disneyland Resort Line) stations, mainly because this service is available only when there are two continuous stations shared as interchange stations by two lines.
MTR 
 Two major works were undertaken to facilitate interchange between Kwun Tong Line and East Rail Line.
MTR 
 A new pedestrian link to Kowloon Tong Station southern concourse and a new entrance (Exit D) were opened on 15 April 2004 to cope with the increase in interchange passenger flow.
MTR 
 Modification to Tsim Sha Tsui Station involved upgrading station facilities and concourse layout to facilitate access from the East Tsim Sha Tsui Station via its pedestrian links.
MTR 
 New entrances to the subway links were opened on 19 September 2004 (Exit G) and 30 March 2005 (Exit F), with the whole scheme completed in May 2005.
MTR 
 The Ma On Shan Line was constructed by the KCR to serve Ma On Shan and City One residential areas and operation of the line was outsourced to the MTR.
MTR 
 The system mostly runs on a viaduct between the middle of roads with stations, stopping right next to major buildings.
MTR 
 The only time the trains don't run on viaducts is when the railway meets the route 2 highway, where it runs in the middle and then raises back to a viaduct.
MTR 
 The railway is slightly different from all other Hong Kong railways because the trains run on the right, not the left; this is so that passengers can easily interchange from the Ma On Shan line to the East Rail Line towards Hong Hum.
MTR 
 The majority of passengers using the line get off the train at Tai Wai to interchange to the East Rail Line, using the line as a feeder route.
MTR 
 The Disneyland Resort Line, previously known as Penny's Bay Rail Link, provides service to the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort which was opened on 12 September 2005.
MTR 
 It is a 3.5–kilometre single-track railway that runs between Sunny Bay station and Disneyland Resort station.
MTR 
 The line currently operates fully automated, trains running every four to ten minutes without a driver, and the carriages were changed from the existing M-Train rolling stock to match the recreational and adventurous nature of the 3.5-minute journey.
MTR 
 The new AsiaWorld-Expo Station is an extension of the Airport Express serving the new international exhibition centre, known as the AsiaWorld-Expo at Hong Kong International Airport.
MTR 
 To cope with the projected increase in patronage, Airport Express trains have been expanded to utilise eight carriages from the previous seven.
MTR 
 On 5 October 2000, the operator of the MTR network, MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), became Hong Kong's first rail company to be privatised, marking the beginning of the Hong Kong government's initiative to dissolve its interests in public utilities.
MTR 
 Prior to its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC) was wholly owned by the Hong Kong government.
MTR 
 The offering involved the sale of about one billion shares, and the company now has the largest shareholder base of any company listed in Hong Kong.
MTR 
 MTRCL has often developed properties next to stations to complement its already profitable railway business.
MTR 
 For example, Tsing Yi station is built next to the Maritime Square shopping centre and directly underneath the Tierra Verde housing estate.
MTR 
 On 11 April 2006, MTRCL signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the Hong Kong government, the owner of Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation, to merge the operation of the two railway networks in Hong Kong in spite of the strong opposition by the KCRC staff.
MTR 
 The minority shareholders of the corporation approved the proposal at an extraordinary general meeting on 9 October 2007, allowing MTRCL to take over the operation of the KCR network and combine the fare system of the two networks on 2 December 2007.
MTR 
 On 2 December 2007 the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) granted a 50-year service concession (which may be extended) of the KCR network to MTRCL, in return for making annual payments to KCRC, thereby merging the railway operations of the two corporations under MTRCL's management.
MTR 
 At the same time MTRCL changed its Chinese name from "地鐵有限公司" (Subway Limited Company) to "香港鐵路有限公司" (Hong Kong Railway Limited Company), but left its English name unchanged.
MTR 
 After the merger, the MTR network included three more lines, East Rail Line, West Rail Line and Ma On Shan Line, as well as the Light Rail network and Guangdong Through Train to Guangzhou.
MTR 
 A passenger could travel on these networks with only one ticket, except where a transfer is made between Tsim Sha Tsui and East Tsim Sha Tsui stations, where two tickets are required.
MTR 
 Various campaigns and activities are taken to help ensure that the MTR is a safe system to travel on.
MTR 
 Poster campaigns displaying information on topics such as escalator safety are a common sight in all MTR stations, and announcements are made regularly as safety reminders to travelling passengers.
MTR 
 Bylaws have been recently introduced to deter potentially dangerous actions on the MTR, such as the ban of flammable goods on the MTR and rushing into trains when the doors are closing.
MTR 
 Metallic balloons are also banned due to previous incidents on KCR and on MTR's Island Line where a metallic balloon interfered with the operation of the overhead power lines.
MTR 
 Tung Chung Line, the Airport Express and Tseung Kwan O Line, except Quarry Bay station, had platform screen doors (PSDs) installed upon construction.
MTR 
 These doors prevent people from falling onto the rails, and MTRC allowed the assumption that this implementation was primarily a safety campaign, without heavily promoting it directly.
MTR 
 In fact, the primary motivation was to separate the stations from the tunnels, hence allowing substantial energy savings on station air-conditioning and tunnel ventilation.
MTR 
 Automatic platform gates (APGs) have also been installed at the Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort stations.
MTR 
 In June 2000, The MTR Corporation proceeded with its plans to retrofit 2,960 pairs of platform screen doors at all 30 underground stations on the Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, and Island Line in a six-year programme.
MTR 
 The programme made MTR the world's first railway to undertake the retrofitting of PSDs on a passenger-carrying system already in operation.
MTR 
 HK$0.10 per passenger trip was levied on Octopus card users to help fund the HK$2 billion retrofit programme.
MTR 
 With the high level of daily passenger traffic, facilities of MTR stations are built with durability and accessibility in mind.
MTR 
 The elevators and escalators in stations are heavy duty, with the elevators installed by Otis Elevator Company/Fujitec and the escalators installed by Constructions Industrielles de la Mediterranée and Otis Elevator Company.
MTR 
 After extensive retrofits, the MTR system has become, in general, disabled-friendly—the trains have dedicated wheelchair space, the stations have special floor tiles to guide the blind safely on the platforms, and there are extra wide entry and exit gates for wheelchairs as well.
MTR 
 Unlike many other metro systems around the world, "main line" MTR stations do not have toilet facilities, although their installation has been contemplated.
MTR 
 Interchange stations between the Island, Tsuen Wan, Kwun Tong and Tseung Kwan O lines are arranged in pairs; such an arrangement allows cross-platform interchange wherein a passenger leaves a train on one side of the platform and boards trains on the other side of the platform for another line.
MTR 
 Most of those stations make use of a cross-platform interchange system, where the commuter can change to another line on the opposite platform.
MTR 
 For example, when a person is travelling on the Kwun Tong Line towards Tiu Keng Leng, getting off at Yau Tong would allow him to change trains across the platform for the Tseung Kwan O Line towards North Point.
MTR 
 Whereas, staying on the train and reaching Tiu Keng Leng would allow you to change trains for the Tseung Kwan O Line towards Po Lam.
MTR 
 This not only makes it more convenient for passengers, it also reduces the amount of traffic per station.
MTR 
 Riders are made aware of the closest connection point by way of in-train visual and auditory messages.
MTR 
 Although riders can disregard these tips, the design of the stations are for the convenience of passengers.
MTR 
 A full GSM (GSM-900 and GSM-1800), CDMA and TDMA mobile phone network is in place throughout the MTR system of stations and tunnels.
MTR 
 Currently, full 3G network coverage in all stations and tunnels (except West Rail Line) for the MTR system has been provided by 3 Hong Kong, SmarTone-Vodafone and PCCW Mobile.
MTR 
 Passengers with subscription services will be able to make video calls and access high speed video content on their mobile phones regardless whether the train is above ground or under ground.
MTR 
 Until recently, MTR stations only had branches of the Hang Seng Bank and Maxim's Cakes stores, owned by Jardine Matheson, and a handful of other shops.
MTR 
 Since the privatisation of the MTR, however, numerous shops have been added to certain stations, turning them into miniature shopping centres.
MTR 
 Apart from retailers, there are also dentists and medical clinics, drycleaners, and florists along the Tseung Kwan O Line.
MTR 
 Standard services include payphones, vending machines (Coca-Cola only), and self-service photo-booths.
MTR 
 Another recruitment magazine Jiu Jik (招職), published by South China Morning Post, replaced Recruit as the only free recruitment magazine distributed in MTR stations on every Tuesdays and Fridays.
MTR 
 The Metropolis Daily (都市日報), published by Metro International, is the first free newspaper distributed free in MTR stations from Monday to Friday (except public holidays); and in 2005, there is another weekend newspaper Express Post (快線周報), distributed every Saturday except public holidays.
MTR 
 The Metropop (都市流行), also published by Metro International, started its distribution in MTR stations every Thursdays since April 27 2006, few months after the termination of Hui Kai Guide.
MTR 
 A free Airport Express shuttle bus service transports travellers from stations to their respective hotels as well.
MTR 
 Flight passengers can even have in-town check-in at the station, which offers a more convenient and time-saving routine.
MTR 
 Only children below the age of 12, senior citizens 65 years or older, or full-time Hong Kong students between the ages of 12 and 25 qualify for the concessionary rate.
MTR 
 Similar to some other metro systems in the world, the fare payable by a passenger depends on the approximate distance travelled.
MTR 
 However, taking any particular station as the origin, the other stations fall into fare "zones" depending on the distance from the origin.
MTR 
 The fare to all stations in a "zone" is the same and increases with distance, especially if the journey involves a harbour crossing.
MTR 
 Travelling the same distance by MTR costs HK$11.80 for grown up people and HK$5.40 for young and very old people.
MTR 
 The Octopus card is a rechargeable contactless smart card used in an electronic payment system in Hong Kong.
MTR 
 It was launched in September 1997 for use on both the MTR and the KCR and now is the most widely used electronic cash system for transactions in Hong Kong as many retailers are fitted with readers.
MTR 
 The Octopus card uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology so that users need only hold the card in front of the reader.
MTR 
 Physical contact is not required, and the card need not even be taken out because the reader can penetrate through material.
MTR 
 This fare collection system has been so popular that many cities such as Singapore, London, Chicago, and Taipei have adopted the idea, launching their own version of smart cards, respectively named EZ-link, Oyster card, and EasyCard.
MTR 
 Except for the Airport Express, MTR fares are slightly lower when using an Octopus card compared to using single journey tickets.
MTR 
 For example, the cost of the 3-minute journey from Admiralty to Tsim Sha Tsui across the Victoria Harbour is (as of 2005) HK$7.9 using the Octopus card, compared with HK$9.0 for a single-journey ticket.
