Note:
(a) "On the sweltering night of Aug 5, thousands of residents gathered near Hong Kong's main government complex for an event billed as the city's first pro-independence rally. Chan Ho-tin 陳浩天, a 25-year-old founder of the newly formed Hong Kong National Party 香港民族黨 and organizer of the event, spoke of a 'quiet revolution' with independence supporters 'infiltrating' government and the ranks of the police force. Edward Leung 梁天琦 [a man of the same age] of the Hong Kong Indigenous Party 本土民主前線 drew cheers"

The location of the Hong Kong Independence Rally 港獨集會 (where Chan, Leung and others gave talks) was Tamar Park 添馬公園

("梁天琦因为之前言论鼓吹港独和自决，而被选举主任褫夺参选资格，尽管他后来已在面书删除他的港独言论及声明拥护基本法")

The report mentioned 滚动民调 rolling-sample poll (or rolling poll). Rolling sample is a concept developed by Hungarian-American Leslie Kish (a man), but I try but fail to comprehend it. American community Survey (ACS) of US Census Bureau uses rolling survey.

(b) "Hong Kong's Basic Law * * * enshrines the rights of free speech, assembly, and demonstration. But as Hong Kong prepares for legislative elections in September, Chan, Leung, and other 'localists 本土派,' as they're called, are testing the limits of those freedoms.

Quote:

"The heirs to co-founder Theo Albrecht's fortune—$15 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index—are battling for control of Aldi Nord, which owns the chain in northern Germany and eight other European countries. Theo’s elder son, Theo Jr, has publicly attacked his widowed sister-in-law Babette Albrecht [whose husband was Theo Jr's younger brother: Berthold Albrecht (1954 – 2012 (age 58; cause of death: cancer) ] * * * The conflict heated up in 2013 after Babette's husband Berthold died of cancer.

"For a post-war generation whose culinary compass was oriented toward cheap food in vast quantities rather than eating as a refined indulgence, Aldi was the obvious destination

"At its core, the dispute is about control of a pair of trusts named after saints—Markus and Jakobus, a reflection of the family's Catholic roots—set up by Theo Sr to ensure long-term control.

Note:
(a) Aldi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldi
(was founded by brothers Karl and Theo (1922 – 2010) Albrecht in 1946, who in 1960 split the operation into Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd [view world map in the Wiki page]; In 1962, they introduced the name Aldi (a syllabic abbreviation for Albrecht Diskont)
(b) "Aldi * * * owners are so secretive that the only widely published photo of Theo Jr is a grainy, decades-old paparazzi snap."

Googling (Theo Albrecht Jr) returns one photo of his stepping out of a sedan.

(c) "Aldi Nord, which also runs the US chain Trader Joe's"
(i) Trader Joe's

(was founded by Joe Coulombe in 1967; Theo Albrecht of Aldi Nord bought the company in 1979 but retained Coulombe until the latter's retirement in 1987)
(ii) The French surname Coulombe is "from Old Occitan colomb dove (Latin columbus [/columba])

(d) "She [Barbette] and Berthold met in the 1980s at a nightclub on the island of Sylt, a summer getaway in the North Sea favored by Germany's jetset."

(e) "If the revamp stalls, Aldi risks falling farther behind rivals such as Lidl, which for years has sold branded goods, fresh fruit and a luxury selection that many shoppers wouldn't hesitate to serve for Christmas dinner."
