We continue our discussion of the GOLDEN DECADES: CINEMATIC MASTERS OF THE GOLDEN HORSE AWARDS with a chat on OUT OF THE BLUE (Chen Kun-Hou, Taiwan, 1983).

It might seem strange that a director from Taiwan borrows a typically Western topos like imprisonment as the only way to cast out pride and its inveterate demons. Anyway, Lee Hsing picture shows a certain consistency in terms of dramaturgical principles, even though I would have liked it to have less focus on childhood psychological damages.

Preview- Execution in Autumn (Masters of Cinema Special Edition Bluray)
Preview- Execution in Autumn (Masters of Cinema Special Edition Bluray)
Referred to as “the godfather of Taiwanese cinema”, the films of director Lee Hsing (who passed away in 2021 at the age of 91) combined Western realism with the neo-Confucian ideals advocated by the nationalist government in Taiwan. Director of a number of masterpieces, presented here is the film he considered his personal favourite of all his films―and certainly his most successful―Execution in…

Thinking Aloud About Film: He Never Gives Up (Li Hsing, Taiwan, 1978)
We continue our discussion of the GOLDEN DECADES: CINEMATIC MASTERS OF THE GOLDEN HORSE AWARDS with a chat on He Never Gives Up (LI Hsing, Taiwan, 1979).

What if we could recycle the energy remaining in discarded batteries? Scientists now know how
Alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries are common in many self-powered devices. However, once a battery is discharged, it is no longer usable and is discarded. According to estimates, nearly 15 billion batteries are produced and sold worldwide annually. Most of these end up in landfills and some are salvaged for valuable metals. However, although these batteries are not usable, there is usually a small amount of energy left in them. In fact, about half of them contain as much as 50% energy.
Recently, a group of researchers from Taiwan investigated the feasibility of recovering this energy from single-use (or primary) discarded batteries. Led by Professor Chien-Hsing Lee from NCKU, Taiwan, the group focused its research efforts on this front to promote a circular economy for discarded batteries.
The researchers, in their study, proposed a new method called "self-adaptive pulse discharge" (SAPD) that can be used to determine the optimal values of two key parameters—pulse frequency and duty cycle—that determine the discharge current from the discarded batteries. A high discharge current, simply put, amounts to a high amount of recovered energy.

DANGER ZONE: love this series!
Hi! Some time since my latest post aside for reblog. Love to watch Asian Series, mostly from Japan but sometimes from other Countries as well, so here I am with a recommendation drama (series). It's an original iQIYI series that completely blow my mind in a good way, because of the change of courses and plot twist with lot of suspense and thriller. Its plot is well planed, the acting is good, the characters are well developed and would say is one of the best series from 2021, if not the best (along with Tokyo MER), at least of the things I swatched this year.
I'm talking about "DANGER ZONE" (as you may noticed for the tittle of my entry). It's a 24 episodes Taiwan policial drama (I insist: drama=series) of suspense. mistery, action and drama. It has two seasons, "DANGER ZONE: The Dark Night" and "DANGER ZONE 2: The Silver Lining", of 12 episodes each and they are connected to each other.
The cast is (not a complete list, but more or less it helps) :
Vic Chou as Liang Yan Dong
Christopher Lee as Capitain Tan Chong Hui
Berant Zhu as Ren Fei
Sandrine Pinna as Yang Yu Lu
Wu Hsing Kuo as Mu Xu Song
Tseng Jing Hua as Lu Qi
Teresa Daley as Li Si Qi
Renzo Liu as Yang Fen
Xin Le Er as Ying Yi
Ma Nien Hsien as Lao Qiao
Paul Chiang as Xiao Yu
Huang Di Yang as Xiao Ming
Rexen Cheng as Cao Wan Nian
Xia Teng Hong as Mu Ya Yang
Shu Wei as Qian Zhi Yang
Thanks to this drama, I started watching more works of Vic Chou (aka Vic Zhou), aside from MARS, that already watched it several years ago ^_^.
The official link if you want to watch it's here and there are several subs, so you can choose your preference. I watched it with EN subs (not my main Language but like to watch my series with English subs) and some subs are better than others depending or the Language, must say, but totally enjoyable if you are looking for a non-typical policial series, no doubt.

i saw your post about sending an ask about the atla oc week, so I’m telling you about my oc (hope you dont mind, im just so excited)
My oc‘s name is Mizuki and she is Izumi and Bumi II’s second child and only daughter. I took her name from a fic written by Musicplayer11 but other than that, I made her whole character by myself (and my two mutuals Salma and Lavi)
She is 21 years old, a master chi-blocker and acrobat (grandma Ty Lee trained her well, she was a Yuyan Archer for 3 years before discharging, and can fight hsing basically anything. She was a non-bender like Bumi before Harmonic Convergance
She also has ADHD, likes to wear traditional clothes, loves her father very very much and would die for Jinora
I’m actually writing a whole fic about her on my ao3 where she becomes an airbender and joins the krew in season 3 and 4
Oh my gosh she sounds like an absolute DELIGHT!!! Thank you for sharing about her <33
