Shiu Ka-chun, Advocate for Hong Kong Prisoners, Is Dead at 55
A social worker and teacher imprisoned for his activism, he later wrote about the toll of incarceration and worked to help others behind bars.
In 2019, Mr. Shiu was convicted of public nuisance charges for his role in Occupy Central and sentenced to eight months in prison.
2019年，邵家臻(1969~2025 Shiu Ka-chun,)因在佔中運動中所扮演的角色被判犯有公共滋擾罪，入獄八個月。
宣判前，他在法院外說道：“我想提醒那些生活在黑暗中的人，不要習慣黑暗，不要出於習慣為黑暗辯護，也不要嘲笑那些尋找光明的人。”
“I want to remind those who live in the dark to not get used to dark, not to defend darkness out of habit, and not to scoff at those who search for the light,” he said outside of the courthouse ahead of his sentencing.

36 Hours in Orlando, Fla.

Beyond the theme parks, gator farms and citrus groves of Orlando, there are plentiful options that include museums, picturesque lakes, dive bars and gastro-pubs.
Dive bars generally have a relaxed and informal atmosphere—they are often referred to by local residents as "neighborhood bars," where people in the neighborhood gather to drink and socialize. Individual bars may be considered to be disreputable, sinister, or even a detriment to the community:
“A plot to entrap young women for the dives of Northern Wisconsin has been discovered.”[1][2]
“The dives themselves are nuisances, per se, and that is why they have to pay such high license prices.”[3]The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary indicates that, in the United States in the 1880s, the term referred to an illegal drinking den or other place of ill repute, especially one located in a basement. However, this usage has since become obsolete. Some people attribute the term to the practice of patrons diving under tables when trouble broke out, particularly gunplay.
In 2010, Playboy magazine described a dive bar as:
“A church for down-and-outers and those who romanticize them, a rare place where high and low rub elbows — bums and poets, thieves and slumming celebrities. It’s a place that wears its history proudly.”[4]gator
