New Urbanism

\*\*\*please register your session to attend\*\*\* Hi 👋🏼 Yogis I am yoga instructor Sophia. As a new yoga teacher (200 YTT certified), I’m excited to share the practice of stretching and Hatha Yoga with others, guiding you through mindful breath and purposeful movement. We’ll explore foundational poses, gentle alignment, and slow, steady stretches that honor your body's limits while inviting greater flexibility and balance. My intention is to create a supportive space where we practice together, learn from each other, and cultivate calm, focus, and presence both on and off the mat. Whether you’re new to yoga or returning after a pause, we’ll move at a comfortable pace, listen to our bodies, and celebrate small progress as we grow. FitFam is a welcoming community for fitness enthusiasts, including yoga lovers, to connect and make new friends, regardless of background or language.😇😁 The event is free. All you need to do is * Bring your own yoga mat * small towel to assist with stretching * wear comfortable outfit 🩷 We’ll meet at the wood deck by the waterfront of Tamar Park. Please look for the one right after passing the big lawn of Legislative Council Complex. Arrive a few minutes early, so we can greet each other and settle in before we start moving and breathing together. If you can’t find the location, feel free to text me or leave messages in the FitFam group 🩷 **Please pay attention to the weather, the FitFam WhatsApp group, and the event page.** In case of bad weather, the location may change to Central Pier 9 or 10.

Brand New Weekly Classes @ New Era Martial Club Quarry Bay Urban Krav Maga is a defence system that: The Urban Krav Maga aim is to equip the student as soon as possible to defend themselves against the most common attacks they may face. Once the student has mastered these techniques more difficult scenarios are addressed to build a support system that will enable the student to deal with almost any situation. By teaching concepts through techniques, students are taught how to read a situation and react/respond accordingly, even if they have not experienced that exact same scenario in training. Giving students the ability to improvise is an important element of our training, this is not like learning a kata. Awareness, avoidance and pre-emption are placed high in order of priority but we recognise that you can’t always avoid a potential violent encounter. We teach everything that is needed for self defence when it’s necessary in all environments, including, highly confined, crowded spaces, cars, shopping centres, nightclubs, buses etc. We make no apologies for our civilian approach to street violence and our subsequent breakaway from the original military solutions in dealing with armed attackers: a knife defence based on somebody attacking like they were making a committed bayonet thrust will not be so effective as one that is based on somebody stabbing with an aggressive pumping/piston motion with fast recoil when we are dealing with today’s street. As stated we retain the term Krav Maga as our approach reflects that on which Krav Maga was originally founded and we are, of course, indebted to the experiences we have gained training with the various Israeli Fighting Systems

Michael Chan is a qualified Urban Krav Maga Instructor under the British Combat Association UK. He brings a wealth of Martial Arts experience to Hong Kong. Michael has practiced and trained in Krav Maga since 2012 and became a qualified instructor in 2018.

## Entropy This week, we’re chasing the quiet poetry of decline, decay, and disorder. Your challenge is to document the slow unraveling of structure — the inevitable shift from order to chaos. **In the street, nothing is permanent.** It’s in the surfaces. In the street messaging. In the tension between what was and what remains. **Entropy tells stories.** Of time passing. Of decay — and the tension between resilience and fragility. Of human effort against inevitable nature. Of care and neglect. Repair and ruin. Memory and erasure. **What to look for:** * Peeling paint, cracked concrete, crumbling brick * Rusted gates, corroded metal, rot, and patina — texture! * Nature reclaiming the manmade — growth through fences and walls * Closed shops, empty lots, forgotten corners * Visual metaphors — a fraying rope, a collapsing box, a weak lightbulb * **People existing within these spaces** **And don’t ignore the fading voices of street messaging:** Literally information breaking down. That’s entropy in its purest form. * Torn posters layered into abstraction * Half-erased graffiti and peeling stickers * People navigating past walls of posters * Safety warnings sun-bleached into near invisibility * Slogans fractured by wear and weather * Weathered shop signage missing characters * Words dissolving into texture **Tips** * Get close — textures are everything * Use light to emphasize cracks, erosion, and shadow * Look for contrast between old and new * Try black & white for a timeless, moody feel **This isn’t about ruin porn.** It’s about awareness and observation. Respect for time and was once and what remains. Finding beauty in places overlooked. **This could be treated as still life's or the human relationship with these special surroundings.** Entropy is not the end. It’s evidence. **MEET-UP DETAILS:** TIME: 3:00 PM LOCATION: **YAU MA TEI MTR D, STREET LEVEL** ### **REGROUP AT 4;30 PM:** NOT JUST COFFEE MAN HOO COURT, 448-452A NATHAN RD, YAU MA TEI Please stay a while to share your experience, thoughts, and maybe some images while grabbing a drink (or more). **AFTER ALL THIS:** Please post 5-10 of your images from the shoot (depending upon turn-out). And PLEASE, be a participant in commenting on other images. Gut reactions and general comments are always welcome. Comments can be subject-related, but better are those that address image-making. It's part of the process and valuable for your fellow photographers. Remember to be considerate of a possible wait list, and be sure to mark "won't attend" at least 8 hours before the shoot if you sign up and need to drop. Repeat offenders will be dropped from the group.

**In an unprecedented effort** to cram WAY too much FUN into one single night this is a **wine tasting** (*sample 4 wines*) / **Kentucky Derby** celebration (*wear your fancy derby hat that you literally cannot wear anywhere else*)/ and **New Members** Night. But mostly THIS IS "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film. If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558
