The Seashore Sectors Roles

All sectors have base roles with more added to best fit their environment. Will most likely update so keep that in mind.

Stellar

The stellar is the leader of the sector and one who controls the sectors ideals. Often sways with the stellar themselves views. A stellar must be appointed by the grown cats of the sector though most take up the role after guidance from the previous stellar.

Depending on the sector the new stellar will gain their title, used as a formal acknowledgement by other sectors to show the cats position. Stellar Lunar, or Stellar Solar.

Example: Stellar Lunar Azure

Lieutenants and Heads

The lieutenants and heads are the main cat of their select job. Depending on the cats position or wants they may choose lieutenant or head but both are the same title.

They have the most voice on big decisions. Acting as the voice for the cats under them. Always are the most skilled at their job, usually with the most experience and focus on their job.

While they don’t have a universal title some may take up a descriptor in front of their name to show what job they are the head of.

Examples: Lieutenant Protector Clawd, Hen Head Sunshine, Great Hunter Hickory

Seers

Specific title for a magic in tune cat able to either use or interpret the mystical parts of their world. Not seen often and a very honorable role for a cat. If a cat starts showing signs of being a seer they are placed under supervision. If they are in fact magic they take up the mantle of a seer no matter their age.

The most famous seer of the sectors is Wisteria, the cat able to connect directly with their great guardians of the past. Depending on a cats abilities and how the current sector views them this title may be a place of pride or shame.

All known seers get the title of Seer and HAS to be used by all cats in a public setting. While a seer may not love this it is tradition and seen as a direct disrespect of their guardians to call a seer by their first name in public. In private it is fine especially by a cats family but only if the seer themselves have stated they’d like to be called by just their first name.

Example: Seer Wisteria (WIP title)

Medics

The trained healers of their sector. Incredibly important as they are the forefront to discovering new cures, heal wounds, and save lives. To be a medic is to take on the whole sector as their family and make sure they don’t perish.

A cat at any point can start training to be a medic though most take this path in their youth to have the most experience possible. It is a very stressful role to many, heavily criticized and blamed when a cat cannot he saved. Medics range widely on who they are, what they focus on, and what their ideals are.

All fully fledged medics have the title of Savior before their name. This is used to show respect to their role most often at festivals or events by other sector cats.

Examples: Sentinel Zephyr

Protectors

Guards of the sector. While they rely on being peaceful in the new order they also need protections from other threats. These cats know how to best deal with the varying threats that attack them. While many first go into it thinking it’s just to fight but learn soon it’s all about techniques and how to best deal with an enemy.

The lieutenant/head of the protectors is most involved in new protectors training and makes sure the new protectors learn how to be a proper protector.

Hunters

Basic role. All cats start as hunters and most often start training again after getting there. Usually the dual class. The head/lieutenant of the hunters though specifically specializes in being the best hunter possible. Learning the best way to hunt, track, and take down any prey.

Usually have sections based on a cats best hunting type, with the top hunters skilled in each class. The classes are Swimming Snatchers, Trodding Trappers, and Climbing Catchers. Snatchers specialize in water based prey like fish or aquatic life. Trappers in ground prey like deers, hares, mice, moles. And Catchers in higher up prey like birds and squirrels.

Crafters

A simple role taken up by creative cats. Crafters weave dens, nests, accessories, armor. They can be skilled in one particular area and range widely on their favored crafts. The main crafts include: den menders, armor makers, jewelry weavers.

A dual job in most cases. While a cat may focus more towards their crafts they also often specialize in hunting, protecting, or being a hen. Usually a crafter will help out other fields like hunters by making traps, protectors by making weapons or armor, or hens by making toys for little kittens to play with.

Hens

The caretakers of the kittens and their first teachers. A highly prized role that is quite respected. The young are important after all. Most Hens are also part time hunters or specialize in another field though any new litters are their main focus.

Every Hen takes up the role after they are officially grown and are trained mostly by other Hens across sectors. While they aren’t essential for a sector to thrive it is common for there to be at least one hen.

Younglings

The young cats of the sector. Ranging from kittens to young juveniles. Depending on their development they will get a teacher to help train them and help guide them down a path that best fits them.

Young kits are most often raised by their parent/s with help from any hens. Between 1-3 months of age they are confide to camp but while here they learn from the figures in their life important lessons.

Once deemed able to leave camp they learn more survival based skills from their caretakers and main teachers of the sector. Eventually they are made into full sector cats and given a ceremony to mark their success.

*There are no mentors in the Seashore sector as they both value tight family units and caring for one another. Young cats when deemed able to leave camp have to be accompanied by either their parent/s, a respected head, or a few grown cats. They are taught by each roles head or best teacher so they can find what path they may want to walk down

Travelers

Cats who come in and out of the sector. Most often merchants who come to bring new exotic things for the sector or cats from other sectors coming to trade their resources with the other groups.

Other times it’s some who just stay to recover, a haven until things are better, or to see if they want to be a part of the sector. They sire new litters, bring new ideas or techniques, and help to remind the sectors that peace is truly the best way. While it isn’t the same in every sector the Seashore Sector most values their outsiders.

#the seashore sector #I like these #Stellar lunar and stellar solar sound sick I love that part a lot #The titles is 100% spurred on by spotty’s ofnd tho less cool soundin #my projects #Just finished the design of Wisteria #I’m happy with all the jobs names and the titles beside the seers #I dunno I want something better #and I’m trying to keep it with a S bc both the title for the medic and stellar have and #s I mean. any suggestions gladly wanted #too tired to keep skimming through dictionary’s #may add more if I think of them but these are my main ideas so far

THE STORY OF INDIA'S 'CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT OF 1930', BEGINNING WITH THE 'SALT MARCH', BREAKING OF BRITISH SALT LAWS, & THE 'SATYAGRAHA' (FORCE OF TRUTH & LOVE') MOVEMENT CULMINATING IN THE BURNING OF FOREIGN CLOTH !

In the last few days of Dec 1929, M.K. Gandhi was appointed head of the Congress party's 'Poorna Swaraj' or 'Complete self rule' mission, charting a plan for 'Satyagraha' (force of truth & love) movement, also called the 'non-violent civil disobedience' movement, that began with breaking of the British 1882 Salt Act- that gave Britishers a monopoly over the collection & manufacture of salt, as also it's handling (only via govt depots) & finally a salt tax collected for providing this essential service.

Gandhi began a march from his Sabarmati Ashram to the seashore of Dandi in Navsari district, Gujarat, where the symbolic making of salt, & breaking of British monopoly over salt happened. But the story of British counter & atrocity, is even more cruel & as yet untold till today. Apparently, as the Good Lord has right now informed me via meditation, more than a BILLION times more salt was produced by Indians across India, inspired by this very popular mass movement, only 3% of which that finally came to be sold to, & used by Indians themselves, remaining confiscated by British authorities, & 'God' alone knows where sent to thereafter. This never-before-&-after mass-production of salt continued for a full 3 months, each month resulting in the same record-breaking billion times greater produce of salt, 97% of which taken away by Britishers to 'God' knows where, again!

This then was followed by the 'Boycott Foreign Goods/Cloth' call by Gandhi, that resulted in popping up the indigenous Indian cloth manufacturing sector, for ages India's one big monopoly over, & source of enormous riches in, world trade!

The Good Lord right now informs me via meditation that 30 MILLION TIMES more Indian cloth was produced for ready wear as a result, for the next year atleast, only 3% of which again that came to be used by Indians themselves, the rest 97% confiscated by Britishers & sent to 'God' alone knows where, yet again!

Good Lord also informs me, how ~1,60,000 people were arrested by British authorities in this non-violent movement, ~830 suffered injuries in process, while ~300 or so sadly 'went away' in the process, also informed by Good Lord, how each of the ~1,60,000 arrested had 999,999 Million Billion….250 times mentioned Billion Governing Council members in their lineage, & an avg tally of 370 immediate elders & relatives in family carrying the exact same 'blessing as them. While tally of those 'gone away', being an avg 8,000 immediate elders & relatives in family, carrying the same 999,999 Million Billion…755 times mentioned Governing Council members in family lineage 'blessing' as them.

The full story of the most cruel regime, led by the British, over India, & many regions of the world, for long.

EU countries could follow Lithuania's example and implement a visa ban for Russian tourists, the country's Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis has told DW.

"People were forced to flee Ukraine, some of them are remaining there, fighting for their lives, fighting there for their homes ... while [people from Russia] are still free to travel and enjoy all the amenities of the free world, which their government is fighting against," the minister said.

Lithuania had "basically stopped all visa issuance to people who would go for recreation" and only issues visas in "humanitarian cause visas," Landsbergis said.

This, he emphasized, was not only for political, but also for practical reasons. Since 2020, Lithuania has "felt a huge influx of people fleeing Belarus and Russia."

"We found a way working with non-governmental organizations and other partners, where we are able to assess actually who has a humanitarian need and was running away from persecution," he said.

"Who do you issue a visa first? Is it a a family of an NGO member who might be persecuted, whose father or mother is being persecuted, or some tourist who wishes to spend a few lovely days by Lithuanian seashore?" he said.

In an interview with the Washington Post last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged European Union states to ban visas for Russian nationals.

Lithuania's Baltic neighbors Latvia and Estonia also no longer issue tourist visas to Russian citizens, However, a number of larger EU countries — including Germany — remain skeptical.

The question of weapons for Ukraine

Ever since the very first days of the Russian invasion, the Lithuanian government had said the conflict would be decided on the battlefield, Landsbergis told DW.

The foreign minister said that seeing what Ukrainians are doing with Western military equipment shows that they are able to fight off and even reclaim land occupied by Russia after the February 24 invasion.

"I truly believe and I hope that this is proof enough that Ukrainians are capable, able and trustworthy partners when it comes to defending the borders of Europe," Landsbergis said. "The more weapons that are provided [for Ukraine], the faster the war ends."

He also said that he would like to feel more "European pride, seeing more European weaponry provided to Ukraine" alongside the arms providede by the US. "But unfortunately, probably we [the EU] still don't have the capacity," Landsbergis said.

The role of transatlantic relations in Ukraine

Landsbergis stressed that European countries do a lot when it comes to hosting Ukrainian refugees or providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

However, when it comes to hard power fighting off the Russian invasion, it is NATO that carries the biggest weight.

"This year showed how important transatlantic unity is for both sides of Atlantic," the foreign minister said. According to Landsbergis, both sides [the USA and the EU] need each other to maintain the security infrastructure not only in the region, but also globally.

As for the EU contribution to the Ukraine crisis, the bloc should start thinking about the post-war situation, the minister said. The EU, having granted candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova, must support these countries in their "transition to full membership."

He also believes that Europe has to formulate a very clear strategy on Russia, which will be a signal to other potential invaders or disrupters of the global security order. The European Union has to be prepared for other possible conflicts in the region, such as a conflict between Kosovo and Serbia, Landsbergis said.

The EU and transit to Kaliningrad

Against the backdrop of concern in European countries about the coming winter, Landsbergis is certain that sanctions against Russia will not backfire on the EU as hard as expected in the energy sector. "It is always better to expect the worst and be prepared for the situation that might not be so good and then have the instruments to tackle the coming problems," he said.

He expressed his hope that Europe will be able to "return to increasing pressure on Russia when we see that we are able to handle the situation when it comes to energy and other things."

Earlier this summer, the EU overturned part of its policy regarding transit from mainland Russia to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea. Lithuania had wanted Brussels to maintain its original stance, Landsbergis said, but does not "feel betrayed.".

The foreign minister thinks the current quota system, in which Europe has set limits for transit of essential goods to Kaliningrad, is not ideal, but "just a certain compromise that we accepted," Landsbergis said.

Russia reacted angrily when Lithuania tried to block transit through Kaliningrad. But Vilnius was just implementing a "European decision," the minister said.

Moscow, he argued, chose to bully a "much smaller country like Lithuania" instead of turning on Brussels.

But despite Russian propaganda attacks, Lithuanians are not afraid of Russia, the minister assured. "We believe that NATO [of which Lithuania is a part] is the strongest and most capable alliance there is and there ever was," Landsbergis said.

What were abundant on this shoreline, devoid of all molluscan shell debris, let alone of intact seashells, were these elliptical seed pods, presumably buoyant, that help spread the species along the coastline. Huge numbers of them were present here, they ubiquitous on this shore, to the point of being overkill.

A strange seashore indeed, marked by molluscan infertility and botanic fertility!!!!, a similar situation witnessed on a certain sector of the Andhra coastline in India by me, although the norm is that molluscan fertility far exceeds that of any shoreline plant species, seashells everywhere, plant propagative structures few and far between.

My main thoughts while imaging the Seashore Sector

While a lot of these aren’t shown atm as there are just a few cats right now it’s how I see them. Being a haven for those in need is their main ideal. Creating borders, attacking others for their differences, and othering outsiders is what caused the previous destruction of the domains. Sticking to those ways would do nothing but drive them back to the dark era after the original domains destruction.

Wisteria is a big part in keeping up this safe place idea, and as such she’s been called the peacemaker, dove tongued, and serenity. She doesn’t necessarily love being put on such a pedestal but if it gets cats to listen to her and see that fighting does nothing then it’s not too bad.

-Very into food. Like they have a ton of recipes using spices, herbs, mixes, just a ton of stuff bc they are made up by cats from a lot of different backgrounds.

-being able to hunt is incredibly important not only bc they are supporting four kittens but also bc winter is incredibly harsh for them. When the rivers ice over and oceans turn too cold to wade into they starve

-Fall would probably be there favorite bc it’s both the peace before winter but also bc of the many specific plants that thrive in this window. As well as some exotic food they prefer

-Gardens are unkept and most cats know how to care for many types of plants. They love spices, herbs, and decorating with plants so keeping them alive is very important to them

-Litters are raised to have close bonds. Families are incredibly important to them and most families are very very close together. Hens (kitten caretakers) are very important and a dignified role

-Pets are quite common. Rats, butterflies, bugs, birds, mice, all types of animals are great pets that many cats have

#the seashore sector #oc: wisteria #im actually really liking thsi idea i have #totally send asks about them I want to think about them even more #so far the seashore sector is the only one in my mind but I think there needs to be more #I’ll most likely expand it sometime #not now too focused on my sea cats

It must be higher than this.(The New York Occasions) Demonstrators confront the police all the way through a protest towards the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in Moscow on Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022.By means of Bhupendra Patel | Particular to The Tribune  | March 16, 2022, 3:58 p.m.I write this simply having spent a number of hours looking to save imaginative and prescient in a single eye of 1 human being. This afternoon I will be running for greater than 4 hours looking to reconstruct a face that used to be broken, nay, destroyed, in a contemporary struggle. I'm starting to marvel in regards to the function of all of it. I'm operating in Utah. A struggle hundreds of miles away must now not impact me in my opinion, however now not a waking second is going via when I'm really not pondering of it. Faulty as they inevitably are in a struggle scenario, estimates in regards to the Ukrainian struggle as of March 10 are as follows: 549 civilian deaths (26 being kids), between 2,000 and four,000 useless within the Ukrainian defense force, between 5,000 and 12,000 useless Russian troops, and greater than 2.5 million other folks, and extending day by day, looking for safe haven. Those are Russian and Ukrainian fathers, moms, brothers, sisters and, unfortunately, kids.Genetic research have proven that a lot of the Ukrainian inhabitants is descended from Indo-Europeans whose ancestry derives from the Russian steppes. They're necessarily “Russian.” So, we're witnessing the loss of life and harm of the similar ancestral peoples: a area divided. It wouldn’t be the primary time that a guy leaving behind his “circle of relatives” would cloak it in a veneer of patriotism. There used to be no nice mistaken that had to be avenged. It is a easy land-grab, a go back to feudalism.If we're to go back to feudalism, most likely our international leaders must lead armies from the entrance, just like the kings of outdated. Will have to we select to be naughty once more, the sight of Top Minister Boris Johnson main from the entrance would nearly be value the cost of access.Russia is a country wealthy in historical past. You may have supplied the sector with probably the most absolute best track, literature, art work, ballet, amongst a lot else. You, as a tradition, worth custom, and recognize. Simplistic because it sounds, have been you now not introduced as much as handle your circle of relatives, brothers, sisters, kids, or even strangers?Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave a Churchillian speech to the British Parliament March 8, invoking Shakespeare. However this isn't 1940, when Winston Churchill give his “we will battle at the seashores” speech. With its nearly Pindaric splendor, this speech might stir our very loins with the overpowering rush of bizarre rhetoric. However is it the age and time for this? We are meant to have moved on. Resistance won't, as the person mentioned, be futile. However indisputably there are occasions to stand the details and thereby save lives. For the Ukrainians, when a mighty and nuclear-powered power surrounds you, going to an inevitable loss of life for the sake of pleasure might seem heroic. However now not such a lot for the damaged households. The maimed, in time, will simply be maimed. I see this continuously in my clinical apply. There will likely be no bugles, they usually received’t really feel like heroes. The mighty might but fall. Not likely on this present scenario. And at what value?As Artemus Ward famous, “It ain’t such a lot the issues we don’t know that get us in bother; it’s the issues we all know that ain’t so.” You, as the good other folks of Russia, should indisputably know the numerous issues “that ain’t so.”There must be no issue that can't be solved with discussion, debate, argument and, sure, compromise. The human race can do higher. The human race must do higher. As a substitute of random protests all over the world, I'd counsel

that at a designated hour on a designated day, the sector must have a “sit-out” the place everybody comes out onto the road. Out of your workplaces, your properties, your eating places, your bunkers. In each and every main capital, little the city, minuscule village. In silence, however steeped in severe function. The arena would prevent, now not for lengthy, however, I'd counsel, the message can be brought to our international leaders extra loudly than any indignant protests. Let the bugles sound the Truce of God, to Ukraine and Russia, if now not the entire international eternally.The Russians must now not must be cowed via sanctions and accusations. To be hated internationally. The hatred for all issues Russian is evidenced from folks’ fresh conduct in opposition to “Russian-sounding companies.” This hatred is spreading to soccer golf equipment, to execs in track and game and to governments. We're espousing indiscriminate hatred. It don't need to wish to be so. No guy is an island. Any guy’s loss of life diminishes us as a result of we're serious about mankind. Russia, that is your hour.

Causeway Bay: The Fascinating History Of ‘The Diamond Of Hong Kong’, From Coffee Farm To Simple And Innocent Residential Area With Warehouses In The 1950s, As Recollected By A Barrister David Lai

I do not keep a diary. I remember too little. When I was in a scene, I hardly paid it any mind. The memory of being with others is often offered by others to me as a lasting impression of their own. 

Causeway Bay (CWB) (銅鑼灣) is a very famous shopping district in Hong Kong. There is a big department store Sogo and what in front of it is the super busy pedestrian scramble crossing. Every minute, people in all directions inundate the entire intersection. The spectacular sight ‘Sogo Crossing’ is akin to the famous ‘Shibuya Crossing’ in Tokyo.

CWB means Copper Gong Bay. In 1916, the southern foothills of it were coffee plantations. There is still a cemetery by the nickname of ‘coffee plantation cemetery’ (咖啡園墳場). Its proper name is Mount Caroline Cemetery.

CWB was originally a bay located between North Point (北角) and Wan Chai (灣仔). The area has been chiefly reclaimed along the southern seashore of Victoria Harbour(維多利亞港). CWB of today is an area that was water a few hundred years ago. In 1841, the British colonial government sold a large plot of land, very near the typhoon shelter where thousands of fishermen lived, to the opium trader Jardine Matheson and they turned the area into godowns and factories.

My barrister friend David Lai (黎德誠) remembered, “In the 1950s when I was a child living there, Causeway Bay was not as busy as Central (中環) or Wan Chai (灣仔). The huge warehouses area was later demolished and turned into many stylish residential blocks with seaview balconies in the late 50s. These blocks now form the bustling shopping district of Paterson Street (百德新街), Great George Street (記利佐治街) and Kingston Street (京士頓街).”

David is quick-witted, helpful and sincere. His grandfather and father were grain trading merchant in Mainland China, Hong Kong and South Asia before World War II.  After the war, his father assisted in managing one of the first 5-star Chinese restaurant Café de Chine (大華大飯店) with a nightclub on the rooftop at the junction of Pedder Street (畢打街) and Queen’s Road Central (皇后大道中). He was a sporty and righteous young man. In the 70s, he was an Assistant Station Officer of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, starting as a Probationary Inspector of the Royal Hong Kong Police and, as time went by, served as the Personal Assistant of the Commissioner of Police Raymon Anning (顏理國) and as the Head of Interpol Hong Kong before leaving the Force to join the private sector as top executive of local entities and regional head of multinational corporations. Fond of law and court trials, the secret urge of being a brave barrister crashed on him. He gave up his corporate’s top executive career and started afresh as a junior lawyer. Now, he is a busy barrister boxed up in his office helping people to look for justice especially over trust and commercial matters.

David sighed, “When I was a child, the northeast side of Causeway Bay was quiet as there were many warehouses including cold storage(The Dairy Farm Ice & Cold Storage Co) and ice factories. A typhoon shelter was outside the waterfront (it was later reclaimed to become Victoria Park (維多利亞公園), the biggest park in Hong Kong).

During the day, thousands of fishermen lived on boats in the shelter. At night, some boats hang up red lanterns and put up colourful paper festoons. They became seafood restaurants. Other boats became floating cabarets. The air was pervaded with singing, music of erhu and claps of the hands. The water shelter was also a ‘swimming pool’ for the kids. We caught small mussels, cockles and clams and later surrendered them to mother for cooking.”

I asked David, “What are your special memories about Causeway Bay in the 50s?” He smiled, “In the 50s, you could park your car anywhere in Causeway Bay. Now, there is hardly any place for one to stand or any space for a car to pass in the clamour of the crowded streets.”

David carried on, “In those days, funeral service at home was legal. The end of the ceremony was that coffin would be lowered with a rope from balcony to the street. Then, a funeral procession ensued. The deceased was carried by a van to the final resting place. Family members followed the vehicle on foot. Musicians played traditional Chinese farewell music and suonas (‘啲打’), gongs (鑼) and drums(鼓) were the common instruments. We, as kids, shared no sorrow but made fun of such events.” 

I explored history, “What made Causeway Bay a busy shopping district in the 60s?” David felt pity, “From 1958 to 1962, there was an economic and social campaign called ‘The Great Leap Forward (大躍進)’ in China. The campaign was to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy into an industrialized society through extreme measures. But, the campaign failed and a famine was resulted. Refugees flocked to Hong Kong and Causeway Bay was suddenly flooded by thousands of homeless people strewing along, down and across the roads. I recall that they slept on the staircases and roofs of buildings, including our block. Even the Police could not stop such tramps. Some squatters took over empty roofs and built iron sheet houses. Other opportunistic flat owners subdivided their units into small cubicles and let them to refugees. The loss was that Causeway Bay became so beaten down that it stopped having the refined middle-class residential aura. The gain was that consensual interest of new immigrants in Causeway Bay made her a very densely-populated area. Gradually, old, elegant and spacious blocks without ground-level shops were pulled down. Tall, packed and multi-functional buildings with tiny dwellings, shops and workshops for tailors, goldsmiths and shoemakers replaced. The simple and innocent Causeway Bay in the 50s was gone. I told myself it was vital to be optimistic when the world seemed to have suddenly a very strange face!”

I listened with great enthusiasm, “Does it ring true that Causeway Bay was a lucky place with great ‘earth pulse’ feng shui?” David thought about it, “Not necessarily true. There are objective factors. Watching football matches was a popular pastime in those years. The Hong Kong Stadium (former name ‘Government Stadium’) there, opened in 1955, housed more than 20,000 audience members. So, every day, thousands of people went in and out of Causeway Bay. Besides, Causeway Bay was a new area and it was easier to accommodate the construction of huge cinemas. There were almost 10 in the district, the then mega movies like Ben-Hur (1959), The Longest Day (1962) and Zulu (1964) were shown in big cinemas like Roxy(樂聲) and Hoover(豪華).” I added, “When I was a small boy living in Wan Chai, my parents often took me to Causeway Bay to watch movies. They said Causeway Bay offered more varieties such as Hollywood, Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong movies.” 

David concluded, “In 1960, the first Japanese department store Daimaru (大丸) arrived in Hong Kong and it settled down in Causeway Bay. The shopping paradise selling Japanese trendy things attracted crowds after crowds. It is a regret that Daimaru, once hot, was no longer hot. It finally vanished in 1998! Surely, it contributed tremendously to the past prosperity of Causeway Bay.”  

We cannot get through a single day without changes around us. The present Causeway Bay was developed 70             years ago but can it survive the challenge of another 70 years? We yearn for the better changes. Whenever I walk around in Causeway Bay, I find new shops and restaurants. Sadly, it is also getting aged and dirty at the same time. Need for urban renewal is a pressing problem in Hong Kong. One has to endure bad traffic, air pollution and crowdedness in Causeway Bay now. We all look forward to more gentrification there, the transformation of a city neighbourhood from poor environment to higher-value surroundings particularly with more trees. The 2 eye-soaring filthy footbridges in Yee Wo Street are already the ‘monsters’, worth the urgency of rebuilding!
