A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over

by Yu-Jun LIN

Late mornings and sleepless nights. Frustration. Anxiety.

They seem to have infiltrated our consciousness and entered our dreams. We recognize the shape of eaves, the folding line of streets, and return to our dwelling coordinates where we hide and live. We see restless men and women in full feather wandering through the brightly-lit city and then sitting shoulder to shoulder with countless strangers, between countless walls.

In the 1970s, urbanism started paving its way into Taiwan. Bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society, life thus became crowded and repressive in cities. The meaning of “urbanism” does not merely lie in towering skyscrapers but in altered landscapes, living conditions, isolation and loneliness as well as increasingly complex social issues. Submerged in the capitalist system, every person has been assumed as a tiny component, whose labor force is needed by the whole mechanism, but not with one’s individuality as well.

However, the construction of liberalism constantly reminds us of our own subjectivity, along with the importance of being viewed as a whole. Such contradictory values leads to extreme unease and confusion that keeps building up and ceaselessly floods our minds with external chaos. As worries that never subside loom over us, we are forced to retreat to our dwellings, where we are perfectly alone, and safe. We can uninhibitedly be ourselves – yet under the lingering dark cloud of sorrows.

Frustrating questions as “Who am I?” seem to return in lonesome nights, invariably. When night falls, myriads of dazzling lights glisten in innumerous windows at the near distance. Gazing into the dreamlike, transient light, we recall things we hope to seal for good in our troubled mind. We question again and again, about what role we should be playing to integrate into the society but still maintain the integrity of our own subjectivity.

A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over features eight selected pieces and delineates the question of how people, as individuals, should coexist with others, a question deriving from urbanites’ perceptual conflicts experiences.

Zheng Er Qi | People
“People” mirrors the phenomenon of Taiwan’s transition from being an agricultural society to city since 1970. It precisely portrays everyday urbanity that people nowadays are familiar with: Although millions of people reside on one spot, their recognition of one another fails to grow with urbanization, despite the presumable nearness.

Chung Chih Ting｜I Am by Your Side
With the explanation by an offscreen sound and the roleplay image, “I Am by Your Side” depicts how urbanites try to be in company, revealing people’s natural urge for social connection. Yet it ends up to be talking to oneself or pointless mumbles, simply a futility of communication.

Wu Bo Sian | Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile
In the video, the chimpanzees form a spectacle, say, abnormality, in a seemingly normal context. “Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile” is a response to conflicts between public administration and individual freedom, zooming in on the contradictions or constraints between all the intervenable and the non-intervenable in everyday scenes.

Wang Ding Yeh | One-One
“One-One” depicts how people try to maintain an intact, rational space of survival while sometimes fail to avoid transgressing, under limited resources in a highly competitive society. With much precision, it captures the specific default interpersonal distance, and poses the question: How should each person navigate to find the best living posture at the moment?

Tsai Jie | When the Dust Settles
“When the Dust Settles” shows people restlessly beating on a possible exit to get out. However, does such an exit really exist? Or is it simply a delusion stemming from one’s untamable impetuosity? The work reflects the desolation of men and women, who are rumbustious, but aimless.

Huan Yen Chiao | 1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?
Fish in the bowl resembles people trapped in cities: extravagant outfits, splashing neon lights; sensational visual effects indeed. “1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?” presents how people escape from their anxiety and weariness for the time being. The work highlights the entire incompatibility and a sense of solitude after one’s subjectivity is highly developed.

Wong Shu Lian | I found myself floating and sinking down once in a while
The work addresses the enduring controversy between liberalism and capitalism that have been engendering people’s inner conflicts. It captures one’s self-doubt and angst in a profound way while, by exploring how to determine one’s best position, raises the ultimate question – Who are we after all?

Chen Chia Jen | SWEETWATER
“SWEETWATER” was born under Chen’s reflections during his artistinresidence experience in Southeast Asia. Between people living in urban and rural areas, there is a grand difference of perspectives, regarding how to survive and live a good life. It implies the fact that the widely-recognized future image, constructed by our society, might not be as clear or real as it seems, or perhaps what people accepted is simply a vague, even somehow out-of-focus, prospect.

在英國路上或是公園裡總是能輕易地發現忙碌的蜂們

蜂是自然界重要的傳媒者, 世界上有百分之九十的開花植物仰賴動物授粉, 許多樹也需要藉由昆蟲來完成授粉, 其中像是柳樹就極其仰賴蜂的授粉。

一般說到''蜂''大家最熟悉的應該就是會生產蜂蜜的蜜蜂。 其實, 世界上已知的蜂品種多達20,000種, 有些小小黑黑的蜂甚至常常被誤認是蒼蠅。

近十幾年來蜂的數量銳減，其最大原因可謂蜂的食物來源下降導致蜂攝取的營養不足。 蜂的成長，從幼蟲長大到成蟲到生育產卵需要許多不同的養分。其來源仰賴多種不同開花植物的花蜜與花粉。隨著城市擴張與其他人為的土地利用變更，植物的多樣性與豐富度下降，導致蜂的食物來源與選擇性日益減少。這些都進而影響蜂群的數量、規模以及授粉效率。

經實驗證實，在歐洲，大黃蜂與其他蜂種數量下降的現象皆與景觀規模下宿主植物的減少有關。結論上來說，植物的多樣性直接的影響著蜂的生存條件。(Vaudo, A.D. et al. 2015) 一個良好的蜂生活環境必須有各種開花(宿主)植物，讓他們能夠自行選擇覓食的對象，以提供其所需的營養。植栽的多樣性是吸引及供應蜂群的最佳方法。但僅僅是利用增加植物多樣性並不能有效地增加蜂群的數量與種類。

在景觀設計運用裡，可以針對蜂所需要的營養來源之植物配合其覓食的時間來進行植栽配置以達到有效復育蜂群的棲地。如在大面積都種植單一植栽的農業用地裡增加引蜂的多種花種，便能吸引更多不同種類的蜂群增加生態多樣性，亦能提高作物產量與經濟效益。

在英國連排住宅是很常見的住宅形式，僅僅用樹籬或是籬笆隔開的院子對於像蜂一樣會飛的昆蟲是極佳的生活環境。鼓勵民眾在自家種植引蜂的植物，對於城市裡蜂群的棲地是一項很大的助益。

สายการผลิต 2022 Audi e-Tron GT production รถสปอร์ตซีดานพลังไฟฟ้า พละกำลังสูงสุด 640 แรงม้า ก่อนเปิดตัวในเมืองไทย

ก่อนที่จะมีการเปิดตัวในเมืองไทยอย่างเป็นทางการ ในอีกไม่กี่วันข้างหน้า เราขอพามาชมสายการผลิต Audi e-Tron GT รถสปอร์ตซีดานหรูพลังงานไฟฟ้า จากตระกูล e-Tron ซึ่งในต่างประเทศเพิ่งมีการเปิดตัวในวันที่ 9 กุมภาพันธ์ที่ผ่านมา โดยทำตลาดใน 2 รุ่นด้วยกันคือรุ่น e-Tron GT quattro และรุ่น RS e-tron GT

With an energized driving demonstration and a world premiere featuring high-caliber participants, Audi has presented its new electric spearhead – the Audi e-tron GT. In two events on the digital Day of Progress, the Four Rings showcased the highlights of this fully electric Gran Turismo: dynamic driving performance, emotional design, and sustainability.

“The e-tron GT is a stand-alone Gran Turismo, reinterpreted for the future. Its looks are a testament to premium automotive design.Bringing impressive driving performance, this is electro-mobility in the most emotive way. And with its sustainable concept, it takes a stand,” explains Markus Duesmann, CEO of AUDI AG. “Because it’s not just the drive concept that is sustainable. The entire production at our Böllinger Höfe site now has a carbon neutral energy balance.This sends an important signal – for the site, our workforce and the future viability of Audi.”

Audi also set a new benchmark with the digital world premiere, the Day of Progress. Two digital events presented the Audi e-tron GT: in the Sprint of Progress, the Formula E driver Lucas di Grassi and the sustainability entrepreneur and Formula 1 world champion Nico Rosberg demonstrated the dynamic driving performance of the Audi RS e-tron GT alongside the current Formula E racing car of the Four Rings, the Audi e-tron FE07. In a trip on the circuit of the Audi Driving Experience Center in Neuburg an der Donau, the spotlight was on the dynamic performance of the new model.

In the Celebration of Progress, the brand with the Four Rings introduced the Audi e-tron GT to the public for the first time. In the hour-long virtual show, Markus Duesmann and Hildegard Wortmann, Board Member for Sales and Marketing, together with further Audi protagonists such as Henrik Wenders, Senior Vice President for the Audi Brand, and Marc Lichte, Head of Design, presented the highlights of the new model.

A varied program emphasized the forward-looking attitude of the Four Rings brand. With reference to the importance of design, sustainability and performance, the actor and producer Tom Hardy, the designer Stella McCartney and Nico Rosberg added their personal insights. Themusical accompaniment to the unveiling of the car was performed by the US-American singer and songwriter Janelle Monáe, while Steven Gätjen as moderator guided the audience through the show.

The GREENTECH FESTIVAL and Audi, a founding partner of this platform for sustainability, together presented the GREEN FUTURE Award for the first time as part of the world premiere of the Audi e-tron GT. The prize, part of the festival’s GREEN AWARDS, is given to projects and persons that promote environmentally compatible urbanization and at the same time make an important contribution to improving the quality of life in urban infrastructure. The winner is the start-up Zencity, based in Tel Aviv, with an algorithm that collects and analyzes social media posts and local news from cities.

Both events are still available to be accessed online.

Quotes from the Celebration of Progress
“The Audi e-tron GT is the beginning of a new era for Audi. Our aim is to shape the future of electric premium mobility. Love of detail, maximum precision, and design that points the way to the future show how much passion we at Audi put into designing and making vehicles.”

Hildegard Wortmann, Board Member for Sales and Marketing, AUDI AG

“With the Audi e-tron GT we are putting the DNA of Audi on the road. The Gran Turismo superbly reflects our innovative strength and our pioneering spirit. For us it is already part of a line of icons of the brand, alongside the Audi TT and the Audi R8.”

Henrik Wenders, Senior Vice President, Audi Brand, AUDI AG

“For me, progress means creating something new. Something that no one has ever done before in this form. Designing a fully electric vehicle is like this: the entire design process has to be thought through anew.”

Marc Lichte, Head of Design, AUDI AG

“The Audi RS e-tron GT is a milestone in the development of electrified high-performance models.”

Lucas di Grassi, Formula E driver and entrepreneur

“Electric mobility is the future. Of course the path to the goal is a long one. It’s great to see that Audi is taking this path with determination.”

Nico Rosberg, sustainability entrepreneur and Formula 1 world champion

IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 SAMPLE ANSWER TOPIC GARBAGE

? Link bài mẫu + từ vựng chi tiết: http://bit.ly/2MKmtlz

- Bài mẫu hôm nay tiếp tục theo chủ đề IELTS Speaking Part 1 mới là Garbage. Bài mẫu thực hiện tự nhiên giúp các bạn hiểu rõ về cách trả lời hơn nhé.

IELTS Speaking part 1 sample answer topic Garbage:

1. Why do some people throw garbage on the street?

There are many reasons for this nuisance. Firstly, people have become too lazy and unwilling to throw away trash appropriately. It is common to see people discard trash out of their kitchen windows or balconies probably because they are too lazy to put it in the rightful places. Secondly, people choose to throw garbage on roads because there is no strict warnings or punishment for those crimes.

2. How do you feel when you see other people throw garbage on the street?

I find it extremely disturbing when people throw trash on the ground, even though bins are nearby. People are old enough, educated and should know about cleanliness. If we don’t care about the environment and knowingly spoil the atmosphere, then we cannot blame the authorities

3. What do you do with the garbage when you’re on the street?

If there are no bins available nearby, I carry the garbage in my pocket or bag and throw it away wherever I find suitable disposal place. I seriously hate littering so I would never turn myself into a litterer.

4. Do you think your city is clean or not?

I don’t think so. There’s a decline in the air quality since the city is always filled with emissions from the expanding fleets of cars and motorcycles and also construction projects surrounding the city. Also the lack of green spaces is another major problem that our city has to face. Hundreds of decades-old trees in Hanoi have been chopped down to expand roads and lay the metro line network, with authorities consistently prioritizing urbanization over protecting the environment.
