honestly sometimes just acting bigger helps. i mean that by using voice, body language etc to seem like you have "bigger status" than you actually have helps, i have been in tough situations with men but have gotten away by just acting aggressive enough even though i am someone a man could kill with a fist. though i have very low voice for a woman which i think has helped.

its true. being perceived as a target Makes you a target. and the harder somebody thinks it may potentially be to subdue you the more likely they are to second guess the decision to try

Speed Read, September 12, 2021

We’re launching into this week’s round-up with a radically reworked Moto Guzzi Bellagio, and finishing off with a look at the upcoming Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello. Wedged in between are a garage-built Honda CB450, a rescued Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, and a Royal Enfield 650 from XTR Pepo.

Moto Guzzi Bellagio by Guzzi Motobox Custom shops that specialize in a particular marque have a habit of pulling out all the stops—and Guzzi Motobox in Catalonia is probably one of the best examples. After all, how many workshops could turn the laid back Moto Guzzi Bellagio into a fire breathing cafe racer?

GMB’s work on this Bellagio is a double whammy; they’ve not only dramatically changed its silhouette, but also given it a boost under the hood.

Using cylinders and pistons from specialist outfit Radical Guzzi, GMB took the motor from 935 cc to 1,500 cc, with four valves per cylinder instead of two. The team also converted the bike from fuel injection to a carbureted setup, and ditched the air box for a pair of velocity stacks. The stock exhaust headers were tweaked to run a pair of HP Corse mufflers.

The running gear’s been upgraded too, with the Showa forks from a Kawasaki ZX10R up front, and a custom built Öhlins shock out back.

The wheels are stunning 17” spoked units from Kineo, and the brakes are Brembos, complete with carbon fiber cooling ducts on the front discs. It wasn’t all plug-and-play though: GMB boss Manel Segarra reports that matching up the front forks, wheel and brakes took a lot of fiddling.

Higher up, GMB built a whole new subframe to sharpen up the Bellagio’s lines. The fuel tank and tail section, plus the front fender, are all custom pieces. “A close friend, German Dervidson, made them for us,” explains Manel. “We made the pieces in a special foam, and German replicated them with aluminum.”

The Guzzi also wears new rear sets and foot controls, with clip-ons, Beringer levers and switchgear from Renard Speed Shop up top. Other add-ons include new yokes, a small GMB speedo and an LED headlight. A custom carrier at the back holds the license plate, along with a pair of combo taillight and blinker LEDs. [Guzzi Motobox]

Honda CB450 by Scott Loyet There’s something special about hobby builds, and the blood, sweat and tears that are poured into them. This tastefully stylish Honda CB450 cafe racer is Scott Loyet’s first build—a project that took him four years to complete, because he resolved to only work on it when he “felt like it.” And it’s a pretty remarkable first effort.

Scott picked up the 1973 CB450 around the same time that his friend, Cory, also started working on a 70s-model CB.

“Cory has been my ‘Yoda’ throughout this project,”says Scott, “a man who has been around engines and motors all his life. My dad was a grease monkey, and I always admired the way he could fix anything on our family cars—and frankly, anything around the house, including hair dryers!”

“With no mechanical experience and new time on my hands since my kids had gotten older, I embarked on ripping apart my first bike. As my dad said to me, ‘you learn more from your mistakes’ and I learned A LOT. With parts and assistance from not only Cory, but also Dime City Cycles, Common Motor Collective and lots of YouTube videos, I was able to get over the finish line.”

Scott first stripped the bike down, then sent a bunch of parts off for fresh powder coating. The engine was refreshed with new valves and top end gaskets, and is now hooked up to Mikuni V32 carbs with velocity stacks from Speed Moto. Sparck Moto supplied a new wiring harness, and Scott installed an electronic ignition, new coils and plugs, a rebuilt starter, a Lithium-ion battery and a new regulator and rectifier.

Scott refreshed the front forks, but replaced the rear shocks with a new pair of Progressive units. The brakes were rebuilt, and the wheels re-laced with stainless spokes from Buchanan’s. Up top are new bars with wrapped Trip Machine Co. grips, and new dials. And all the lighting’s been replaced with LED units.

Scott had help along the way. CJ at Pullman Fabrications handled the custom battery box, rear loop and frame reinforcements, and built the new exhaust headers, which are connected to Lossa Engineering mufflers. Aaron at Pleasant Hill Auto Body massaged the fuel tank so that it’d transition with the seat better, Brian Jennings handled paint and Armand’s Auto Upholstery covered the seat.

“This bike was therapy for me,” says Scott, “with endless hours cleaning, shining and building. In the end, it is a tribute to my dad and an heirloom for my son or daughter.” [Images by Shirley DeFrancisci]

Harley-Davidson Sporster 883 by Minority Custom At a glance, this 2000-model Sportster 883 from Indonesia’s Minority Custom doesn’t break any major new ground. But it is very pretty and extremely tidy—impressive, when you consider that it started out as a wreck.

“’Simplicity is beauty’ is what our garage strives to show in our designs,” explains shop boss, Jonathan Evan. “We found this motorbike in a dull and damaged condition. Some parts of the engine were leaking and broken, oil was everywhere, and it had malfunctioning rear brakes and broken pistons.”

Minority rebuilt the Sporty inside and out, making a number of changes along the way. The crew wanted to give it a slight chopper stance—so they stretched the front forks and swapped the front wheel for a 21” hoop. There’s a solid 16” rear wheel at the back, hooked up to a custom-made sprocket.

Next, the OEM fuel tank was cut-and-shut to shrink it, and to make it sit tighter on the Harley’s backbone. Behind it is a custom leather seat, and behind that, a hand-made mini sissy bar that adds a touch of chopper sass, without going overboard.

Up front, tucked under the standard-issue Sportster headlight nacelle, is a smaller-than-stock light mounted on a custom-made bracket; a neat touch that most eyes won’t notice. The handlebars are one-offs too, as are the stainless steel slash-cut exhausts.

Top marks to Minority for the lush color scheme too—the frame’s been done in turquoise, with some green hues mixed in on the bodywork, and a smattering of chrome. The tank bears the shop’s own unique take on the typical Harley eagle motif, and was completely executed by hand. [Minority Custom | Images by Val Willson]

Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 by XTR Pepo A number of custom builders have already shown that Royal Enfield’s new generation Continental GT 650 is ripe for remodeling. But in the hands of the mad scientist Pepo Rosell, it’s really come alive.

This 2019-model Continental GT 650 is sporting a number of signature XTR Pepo touches—not least of all its heavy endurance racing vibe and protruding headlights. They’re mounted just forward of a custom fairing, which in turn sits on custom brackets.

Tucked behind are a CNC-machined top yoke from Riga Billet Parts and XTR Pepo clip-ons. The quick-throttle and right switches are from Domino, the brake master cylinder is a Brembo item, the clutch assembly is from a Suzuki GSX-R, and the levers are CNC-machined XTR Pepo parts. There’s also a new oil temperature gauge, and foot pegs and controls from K-Speed in Taiwan.

The custom fiberglass fuel tank lightly mimics the original design, but has a transparent strip on the side for checking levels, and an aluminum filler cap from ACC Endurance. The solo seat is Pepo’s design too, and the subframe’s been modified to match it.

Pepo replaced the rear shocks with new ones from YSS, swapped the 18” wheels for 17s, and shod them with Continental Road Attack tires. The exhaust headers have been shortened and now exhale through a pair of Turbokit megaphones.

Elsewhere, Pepo’s added LED turn signals, a custom license plate support, and a CNC-machined chain tensioner and sprocket cover from Riga Billet Parts. Artenruta handled the cheeky red livery—the perfect finishing touch for this rapid-looking Royal Enfield. [XTR Pepo | Images by Belen Piqueras]

The new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello No, you’re not looking at a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Yamaha TDM850. This is the new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello—a brand new ‘tall rounder’ with a brand new motor, that’ll make it’s official debut at EICMA in November.

Moto Guzzi have revealed nothing more than images and a teaser video [below] that desperately wants to remind you that the marque’s logo has an eagle in it. But there are a few dead giveaways and easy speculations. The engine looks to be all-new, with liquid cooling and an assumed capacity of 1,000 cc, and power is still directed via a shaft drive.

The video also reveals air channels on the fairing that open and close, and a windshield that moves up and down. It’s not clear whether these will operate automatically or not, but we’ve seen the term “active aerodynamics” bandied about, so make of it what you will.

Guzzi specialists Classic Co. either have inside info or are master speculators. They’ve pointed out a large airbox where the tank would go, an under seat fuel tank, and a four-valve-per-cylinder engine layout that can be bumped to 1,300 cc and used in a wide variety of applications. They’ve also cleverly noticed that the air intakes sit above the cylinder heads, and the exhaust ports below, unlike Guzzi’s current V-twins.

Looking at the red and green bikes that Guzzi have shown, it’s also clear that the V100 Mandello will most likely come in two models. Both are sporting Brembo brakes, but the green version [above] also has Öhlins suspension at both ends.

Overall, we’re digging the slightly 80s aesthetic, and it looks like it’d be a fun ride—as long as it delivers enough power in a decent weight class. Color us curious. [Moto Guzzi]

Loyet (羅葉）

 Loyet (羅葉） known as Ye Luo, was a Taiwanese poet, writer, teacher, and social movement activist.  He participated in several significant social movements and political protests during the period of martial law in Taiwan; he founded an underground press, The Love of Freedom, to pursue the justice in the society.  His poems and articles are sharp, sarcastic, and revealed the corruption of the society.  

He was my literature teacher, and I was inspired by his thoughts and work, especially the poems about the society and share the ideas of my project.  His poems I translated from Chinese to English below point out the facts about Taiwan; it's ugly, harsh but it's the truth.  

I translated three of his poems which is identity and politics-related.  It was hard to translate because of the Homophones and rhymes.

Wolfing down, then excreting out.

Climate of Opinion

In the time of the towering authority,

There is only one explanation for the hundreds of cases.

In the time of the collapse of the authority,

A single case could have thousands of explanations.

In the time of the hibernation of the public will,

The mind longs for freedom, yet

Is too terrified to open the mouth.

In the time of Insects' Waken2 of the public will,

The mouth gets the freedom, but

Gets rid of the mind.

在民意驚蟄的時代 

獲得自由的嘴巴 

往往又掙脫了腦袋

全球資料庫巨頭甲骨文推出雲端區塊鏈

資料庫巨頭甲骨文推出雲端區塊鏈平台，為客戶提供簡易的區塊鏈服務。甲骨文於本月19日宣布正式推出 Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務（Oracle Blockchain Cloud Service）。Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務已為全球多家企業率先部署，協助企業建立區塊鏈網絡，使企業更安全、高效地處理交易，並能於全球供應鏈中追蹤貨物。多家跨國知名企業或機構如阿拉伯約旦投資銀行（Arab Jordan Investment Bank）、東方海外貨櫃航運有限公司旗下貨訊通(CargoSmart)、印度石油公司（Indian Oil）、尼日利亞海關（Nigeria Customs）等現正使用Oracle 區塊鏈平台。

區塊鏈技術可讓交易更安全、透明、經濟、高效，為每個行業的業務模式帶來革命性的變化。Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務更為客戶提供了一個開發平台以建立自己的網絡，同時迅速結合 Oracle SaaS及其他現有的第三方應用程式，以及其他區塊鏈網絡和Oracle PaaS 服務。此外，該服務支援由用戶提供區塊鏈網絡、連接其他組織、部署及處理智能合約來以更新和查詢分類帳。憑藉 Oracle 過去數十年在各行各業及其廣泛合作夥伴生態體系中累積的豐富經驗，Oracle 區塊鏈平台通過區塊鏈，與供應商、銀行和其他貿易夥伴可靠地共享和進行交易。

Oracle 雲平台執行副總裁 Amit Zavery 表示：「區塊鏈有望成為我們這一代最具變革性的技術之一。今天甲骨文推出的區塊鏈雲服務叫人振奮。這是我們經過多年研發，與合作夥伴和客戶共同努力的成果。企業���用 Oracle 平台提升業務，省卻不必要的流程，帶來前所未有的透明度的同時並在分布式網絡中安全交易。」

Oracle 區塊鏈雲平台基於 Linux 基金會的 Hyperledger Fabric 技術建立，預裝所有底層基礎設施相關技術，包括容器生命周期管理、事件服務、身份管理、REST 代理以及集成在單一操縱台的一系列營運及監測工具，加快應用程式建立和開發的過程。Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務是一個SLA可用性高達 99.95% 的Oracle托管雲平台，其內置著有高可用性、自主恢復代理以及持續的分類帳備份功能，能實現跨可用性區域的多數據中心災難恢復。

受惠於 Oracle 雲平台的功能，它支持與現有雲和內部部署應用程式、API 管理以及各種應用開發環境和工具的即插即用集成。此外，甲骨文亦提供了一些全新的SaaS應用，將區塊鏈技術運用到各類常見場景中，如追蹤與追溯、物源識別、擔保和使用以及冷鏈等。支持 Oracle 應用程式和第三方應用程式的即插即用，能夠加快與各種記錄系統的整合，從而加快產品上市速度，並讓各種應用程式場景中使用區塊鏈平台的回報增加。

IDC 集團製造與零售洞察副總裁 Robert Parker 認為：「由於企業和政府開始看到分布式賬冊和智能合約的內在價值，區塊鏈項目正迅速從試點轉為正式應用。而隨著支出加速增長，技術購買方需要的企業級平台不僅需要開放源碼，更需要確保數據安全性、完整性、可擴展性、可管理性和互操作性。」

全球機構和行業協會對使用 Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務的評價

區塊鏈對各個行業的影響深遠，它能廣泛應用於運輸、供應鏈和物流、能源、零售和電商、金融服務、公共部門等垂直領域。包括全球貨運巨頭、跨國製造商、食品生產商和能源市場在內的眾多組織和行業協會已經開始使用 Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務以減輕交易處理壓力、通過供應鏈追蹤貨物降低成本。例如，甲骨文加入了食品安全聯盟(Food Safety Consortium)，並且是電訊行業解決方案聯盟 (The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions) 的成員，參與其區塊鏈的工作。

東方海外貨櫃航運有限公司旗下貨訊通（CargoSmart）行政總裁蕭啟豪表示：「我們正在使用 Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務開發一款應用程式來簡化讓業界苦不堪言的繁複文書流程，其全面性讓我們僅需幾個12個禮拜的周期內衝刺，快速將原型發展為可用的產品。到目前為止，它的開發效率比我們測試的其他區塊鏈平台要高 30% 以上。我們選擇Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務的另一個主要原因是其集成的管理和營運工具，令業務合作夥伴能夠監測所有區塊鏈活動和網絡的運作情況。」

食品安全聯盟召集人Terence Lau博士對於甲骨文成為香港理工大學建立的非牟利性技術開發平台的企業成員表示歡迎。Lau博士說：「食品安全聯盟致力通過科學技術推動全球食品安全。由於在應對食品安全和質量挑戰方面對多學科專業知識的需求不斷增長，食品安全聯盟很高興能夠與甲骨文攜手通過區塊鏈、大數據和其他 IT 應用程式以改進食品溯源、追蹤和安全性。我們期待利用 Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務以改進和加快香港以至全球的食品安全行動。」

阿拉伯約旦投資銀行 (Arab Jordan Investment Bank) 資訊科技與保安副總經理 Ayman Qadoumi 表示：「Oracle 區塊鏈平台協助我們降低了成本、提高了效率和安全性，從而協助我們降低電子轉賬的複雜性並最終改善整體客戶體驗。考慮到我們的行業要求與合規性需要，它的身份管理和數據加密等內置特性使其成為我們的理想之選。此外，REST API 還幫助我們和供應商加快應用程式的開發，以及與現有核心服務整合的速度。」

Certified Origins 首席資訊長 Andrea Biagianti表示：「作為一家從意大利小型家庭農場採購原料生產特級初榨橄欖油的企業，我們希望從橄欖樹到貨架追蹤我們在美國市場銷售的 Bellucci Evoo的整條產品供應鏈。Oracle 區塊鏈服務簡化了所有相關方的實施和合作，為我們帶來真正的競爭優勢。它提供了更高的透明度和更加豐富的訊息，這對於尋求優質產品的消費者而言非常重要，並且有助於我們協助小型農場實現卓越的營運。」

Hyperledger 執行董事 Brian Behlendorf 說：「越來越多的企業開始測試並發現區塊鏈技術能夠為其創造價值，包括簡化內部流程以及與合作夥伴、客戶和第三方建立可信賴的網絡。Oracle 的平台雖然基於 Hyperledger Fabric 建立，但也支持與非 Oracle Hyperledger Fabric 實例的互操作，這將有助於進一步建立對開放標準和互操作性的支援，並展示企業能如何快速、輕鬆、安全地利用區塊鏈來改進業務流程。」

Magia.Digital 區塊鏈項目經理 Juan Jose Miranda 說道：「Oracle 區塊鏈平台非常靈活，它���一個簡單易用的開發平台。其企業級的可擴展性使其成為快速部署區塊鏈的理想平台。根據我們使用該平台的經驗，我們甚至將它用作為 2018 年紐約共識編程馬拉松 (New York Consensus’ Hackathon 2018) 的主要開發平台。藉著其強大特性，我們成功給予評委留下深刻印像，並最終贏得比賽。」

MTO 行政總裁Suwan Kim 說道：「當我們斷定區塊鏈就是實現『里數到商機』 (M2O) 忠誠度計劃的理想技術之後，我們通過嚴格的流程選定了合適的供應商。我們相信，Oracle 配有預裝的區塊鏈雲服務可幫助我們快速建立一個可信賴的平台，讓用戶能夠將信用卡積分和飛行里數轉換成代幣。它更為我們提供了簡單、持續的管理以及此類生產解決方案所需的一切底層安全性、可擴展性和彈性。」

Nigeria Customs Service 現代化部門助理審計長 Aber T Benjamin 說道：「我們使用 Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務建立了一個可靠的平台以推進海關貨物貿易業務流程和程序的自動化。使用這項技術，我們發現整個業務環境可以遷移到區塊鏈上，實現流程自動化並提供透明度和可預測性。完成向區塊鏈的遷移之後，NCS 預計收入將增長約 50%。這項技術協助我們為尼日利亞國內製造的商品建立一個可靠的數據平台，讓尼日利亞企業得以獲得全球消費者的信任。」

Neurosoft 行政總裁 Nikolaos Vasilonikolidakis 說：「在保付代理和供應鏈金融中使用 Oracle 區塊鏈平台似乎是一種自然而然的選擇。它讓我們能夠將由異構系統組成的碎片化的流程轉變為一個可以令所有人信賴的共同基礎，用於參考以及解決衝突和簡化流程。降低保付代理中的風險至關重要。Oracle 區塊鏈平台建立了一個共同基礎，可近乎即時結算交易。」

Sofbang 產品開發經理 Michael Ribet 說：「Oracle 區塊鏈平台讓 Sofbang 能夠為客戶建立智能合約供應鏈解決方案。我們非常喜歡其豐富的功能、強大的服務可擴展性以及區塊鏈技術與當前關鍵業務應用間的無縫整合。現在，我們的客戶通過 Oracle 區塊鏈雲服務與其貿易夥伴可以進行更可靠、更快速的溝通，並且預計可實現高達 35% 的效率提升。」

Solar Site Design 行政總裁Jason Loyet 說：「在意識到太陽能項目生態系統中的利益相關者需要一個提供固定記錄的訊息源後，我們在今年初出資成立了能源區塊鏈網 (Energy Blockchain Network)，以數據化項目來得到相關者信任。我們現在可以管理各項目的狀態、列出後續需求並近乎即時獎勵有價值的貢獻。最令我們滿意的是，Oracle 區塊鏈平台預裝的區塊鏈 API 大大簡化了它與 NetSuite SuiteCloud 開發平台的集成，讓我們能夠輕鬆探索開發智能合約、管理項目和獎勵計劃的新方法。」

TradeFin 行政總裁Amit Baid表示：「我們致力於在區塊鏈上安全、暢順、廣泛地提供商業之間的支付及供應鏈融資服務，通過Oracle區塊鏈平台，我們可以顯著提升企業及其供應商和銀行開戶的速度。Oracle區塊鏈平台由REST API驅動，並提供與Oracle雲平台的豐富集成選擇，可以協助我們迅速上線現有客戶。此外，Oracle Scaleup 生態系統本身提供了區塊鏈平台的入口，雲積分、教程以及一系列甲骨文資源，協助像我們一樣的初創企業快速壯大。」

Materials

 ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘

Ceramic clay

Taiwanese textiles:

1) Hakka Textiles as known as Taiwanese textiles.

2) Traditional Taiwanese batik textiles.

3) Indigenous fabrics.

Newspapers from Taiwan: 

There are two different newspapers from two news agencies; one is Liberty Times which supports the Democratic Progressive Party and the independence of Taiwan; the other one is China Times which stands for the KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party).  The news is not always reporting the truth, and the truth can be faked and covered by other irrelevant news which effect how people absorb the facts the specific parties want.  And the people can be totally innocent and ignorant, and be the blind followers.

The national flag aka the flag of KMT party: 

This flag was created for the KMT party dating back to the time when the Chinese nationalist government took control of Taiwan.  It is controversial not because it is a party flag but it means we Taiwanese solute to a flag that belongs to a party that made a terrible massacre and countless persecutions against Taiwanese from 1947 to 1987.  It is ironic for myself to see those who love this country and stand for the independence waving this flag.  Even outside of Taiwan, I do feel complicated to see it.

The flag of Taiwanese Independence:

These flags are designed by a coffee shop owner, Denis Chen.  These appear in many events and protests in Taiwan, however, this does not represent the nation, just the individual standpoints.

The cyan flag of Taiwan: 

The logo in the middle is the image of the word “Tai (台)” which has been used during the occupation of Japan; the dark blue stands for the sea, the white for the waves, and the green mountain for the land of the Taiwanese indigenes.

>>>> What happens when you are holding a Taiwanese passport?

There are 148 countries you can go visa-free, including the Schengen regions.  However, there are some countries do not approve such passports.  People with Taiwan passports are often having hard time when passing the customs.  Even, in Taiwan, it is not allowed to cover anything on the cover, especially on the title.  When you are stopped by the customs officers, you will be taken into a room, and asked to remove the stickers or whatever you put on the passport, or they will file a report as a record.  It shows the power of politics and the pro-Chinese behind this policy.  

>>>> What's on the passport?

On the cover, the title is printed 'Republic of China (中華民國 in Mandarin and the English version below; a logo of the Nationalist Party in the middle, then the word 'Taiwan' below it, and  the word 'Passport' in bilingual at the bottom.  

On the first page which shows personal details, the nationality is written 'Taiwan (Republic of China)'.  This is such a joke to all the Taiwanese.  The government is not able to change it because of many political reasons.  

The officers often ask us why we are Taiwanese but holding a Chinese passport, and some even reject these kind of passports.  A passport that tells the story of the sorrow from this democratic country; It is sad to see a country famous for its democracy yet can't do anything about it.

Grayson Perry

Who are You? at National Portrait Gallery, London, 2014 

Grayson Perry turns his attention to identity as he creates portraits - from tapestries to sculptures and pots - of diverse individuals who are all trying to define who they are. 

He said, “Our identity is something we perform over a lifetime, so this idea that we are this static thing, I think, is an illusion.  We are a series of bits of baggages, but eventually they build up into this ongoing, lifelong artwork that is our individual identity.  And we feel it and we live it and we perform it.”

Johnson Tsang

A Hong Kong ceramist  who particularly makes white porcelain human faces and sculptures.  His work shows the intense yet very fine and vivid emotions of people’s.  His human faces really grabbed my attention when I first saw them.  And in some of the work, you can see the sarcasm and a shadowy, whimsical way of mocking the politics in China.
