Blamed for fouling the environment, polyester may help save it

More than a decade ago, jet-lagged textile expert Juan Hinestroza landed in Xintang, China, and took a walk near a large creek. He noticed the water was a strange color—indigo blue, from highly toxic dyes, pigments and finishes dumped from a neighboring textile factory. "People's faces appeared blue. The houses were blue. The air was blue. Textile plants throw contaminants in the rivers—where people swim, where people get their drinking and cooking water," says Hinestroza, the Rebecca Q. Morgan '60 Professor of Fiber Science and Apparel Design in the College of Human Ecology. "That's when I knew I had to switch the focus of my research," he says. "As a chemical engineer and a textile chemist, I realized I could help solve some of these complex problems—they do not magically disappear." Now Hinestroza and a multidisciplinary team of Cornell chemists and engineers are reaching into a chemistry toolbox to clean up another formidable environmental foe: polyester textile waste.

In Xintang, China, a factory worker searches through wastewater to scoop out stones that are washed with denim in industrial washing machines. Greenpeace found high levels of industrial pollution and has documented the effects on the community.

Workers load cotton bolls on a truck in India. Organic cotton only accounts for about 1% of world production.

I like Bai Jiejie, but she really need to stop stalking Gongsun and throwing tantrum when he meet other women. She's becoming more and more like the junior/stalker, it's pretty ironic.

Xintang (Immortal's Peak), Song Xu, 1500s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Chinese Art

This album of landscape paintings depicts the famous scenic areas located in and around the city of Wuxing in southeastern China. The artist, Song Xu, was not a native of that city, but must have visited it when he accepted the commission, for he carefully depicted all eighteen views and wrote comments on each of them. These places were all known for their natural beauty, but in addition, a number were distingusihed by their links to eminent historical figures and events. Unlike other artists of his time, Song Xu favored a painting style that was technically polished and focused attention on specific, realistic details. Such an approach was well suited to projects like this one, for which the artist was in great demand. Size: Sheet: 26.4 x 28.4 cm (10 3/8 x 11 3/16 in.) Medium: album; ink and color on silk

Tirade absurde

Les Lumières ne me montreront plus le chemin

Plongée à jamais dans l’obscure retentissement

Du brouha des sirènes qui me semble sans fin

Dans le silence pesant de mon appartement

Cela ne nous laissera-t-il jamais en paix ?

Ceux-là ne savent pas mieux que de nous détruire ?

En temps de guerre comme en période d’hostilité

Pourquoi ne cherchent-ils donc qu’à nous divertir ?

Car du pareil au même, oui, il n’y a qu’un vers,

Un Dieu imaginaire sur un puits de pétrole

Chantant le même psaume, une vision parcellaire,

Qui sur nos sociétés propage la vérole

Mon désenchantement n’étanche pas ma soif

Dans mon adolescence je suis restée perdue

Si mon corps est un temple, je taille une épigraphe

Sans cesse je cherche le sens qui n’est pas revenu

Alors dans mes placards j’enferme ma liberté

De culte que je ne voue qu’à mon apparence

Il me semble qu’il manque de jours dans l’année

Pour vous donner à voir mes plus belles offenses

Usinées en grande part par celles de Xintang

Mais moi, entendez-vous, je viens de la banlieue

Usités sont les mots d’argot de notre langue

Usée par ceux qu’on nomme les bobos des beaux lieux

Nous, de nos HLM, nous ne pouvons comprendre

Les enjeux mis à jour par les intellectuels

Le sang monte à la tête et la chair est trop tendre

Tout vient à point à ceux qui cueillent le culturel

Remplir sa vie de vide est un commun destin

Occident xanaxé acceptant l’apaisement

Quand règne autour des tours dans l’air comme un parfum

D’égouts, de thym, de sang aux pieds des bâtiments

Métro, boulot, lexo nouvelle Sainte trinité

Dans mon cœur rien de pieux je ne peux que maudire

Les idoles de ceux qui forcent le respect

Que ces maux à la bouche « il faut tout déconstruire »

Vidée de déverser je verse un dernier verre

Trinqué à ma santé, rempli de vitriol

Une ahurie absurde à la vue fragmentaire

Ne prétendra jamais prêcher la bonne parole.

"You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing"

Jeans production is one of the most polluting industries. Conventional cotton crops (i.e. non organic), althought only represent 2.5% of the world's arable area, uses 10% of all pesticides produced worldwide.

A kilo of jeans requires 5litres of water for its washing - jeans are pre-washed to became the soft,fitted apparels we like to wear nowadays - and this waterwaste is not always disposed thoughtfully ending up in waterways, killing natural life and causing diseases.

It is said that in average Americans own 7 pairs of jeans and replace 2 of them every year.

Xintang "the jeans capital of the world" produces 800,000 pairs of jeans daily, and this is just ONE of the cities that manufacture the garment.

Well it turns out that there is much more than "nothing" between us and ours jeans.

premise: researcher meng xintang meets doctor-slash-hobbyist lute player shen shiyan and the two develop a warm, gentle, friends-to-lovers romance 

notes: i really enjoyed the soft ahjussi vibes (i say ahjussi even though they’re only in their 30′s) as well as the realistic portrayal of adults who have Real Jobs. even though nothing grandiose or overdramatic happens in the plot, i was surprised to find myself moved to tears on a few occasions. overall, a lowkey but very heart-warming listen that soothes like a warm cup of barley tea on a wintry day ;u;

Biographies of Tuoba Shijun & Tuoba Yi

[From WS015. Modern historians have speculated if Tuoba Yi was actually Tuoba Gui’s brother.]

Shijun was August Emperor Zhaocheng's [r. 338 – 376] concubine-born oldest son. He was by nature witless, dull-witless, calm, patient and inhumane. In Zhaocheng's last year, Fu Jian dispatched his Duke Xintang, Fu Luo. and others to come and rob the southern frontier. Zhaocheng dispatched Liu Kuren to confront them in battle at Zi High Pass. Zhaocheng at the time was incapable, and was not able to personally direct the multitude armies. He therefore led the various sections to escape the difficulties at Yin Mountain, and crossed north of the desert. The Gaoche robbed and plundered on all directions, he then crossed south of the desert. Fu Luo's army had withdrawn, he therefore returned to Yunzhong.

Earlier, Zhaocheng, since his younger brother Gu had yielded the state, he therefore used half the section to confer on Gu. Gu passed on, his son Jin lost the post and was resentful in his breast, and wished to wait for a crack to make chaos.

At that time, August Emperor Xianming and King Ming of Qin, Han, were both previously demised. Taizu was 6 sui old. Zhaocheng was not well. Although Empress Murong's children, Epo and others, were of age, yet the command of the state was not yet decided. Jin because of that advised Shijun, saying:

The Emperor wants to establish the [children] born to Murong. He fears you will be a catastrophe, and wishes first to kill you. So in recent days and onwards, the various sons are dressed in armour, and at night grasp weapons of war and surround your dwelling, waiting for when to readily command to send out. I sympathizes and are telling [you].

At the time Fu Luo and others were still at Junzi Ferry, and at night there was often alerts and precautions. The various imperial sons clasped weapons by their side and fretted between the dwellings. Shijun looked and observed, and considered Jin's words to be true. He therefore led his subordinates to fully murder the various imperial sons. Zhaocheng likewise violently expired.

That night, the various imperial sons' wives and people ran to tell Fu Luo's army. Jian's general's Li Rou and Zhang Hao led the troops inside to pressure, the section followers left and scattered. Fu Jian heard about it, and summoned Yan Feng to ask about its reasons. He made a descriptive reply. Jian said:

The crimes Under Heaven are singular.

He therefore seized Shijun and Jin, and dismembered them by chariots in Chang'an's western market.

Shijun's grandson Wuqi ranked Inspector of Ding province. He was bestowed the feudal rank of Marquis of Linlü. He passed on. His son Liuzhuang was Marquis of Zhending.

The Clarifying [ming] King of Qin, Han, was August Emperor Zhaocheng's third son. As young he had lofty spirit. At the age of 15 he readily requested to led cavalry to campaign and chastise. The Emperor was impressed with him, and sent him to led 2 000 cavalry. When he reached adulthood, he commanded the troops, his commands and orders were strict and trustworthy. He patrolled around and campaigned and chastised, and often was overcoming and triumphing. 10th Year of Jianguo [347 AD], he passed on. When Taizu was enthroned [386 AD], he was posthumously conferred King of Qin, with the posthumous title Clarifying [ming].

His son Yi was 7 chi, 5 cun [~190 cm] tall, his looks and appearance were very imposing, with pleasing beard and whiskers, and had calculations and schemes. As young he was able to do the sword dance, and ride and shoot beyond other people. Taizu favoured the Helan section, he attended and accompanied in setting out and enter.

At the beginning of Dengguo [386 – 395], he was bestowed the feudal rank of Duke of Jiuyuan. He accompanied to rout the various sections, and had merit in planning battles. When Taizu was about to plot against Murong Chui, he dispatched Yi to display the covenant. Chui asked Yi the purpose behind Taizu not coming himself. Yi said:

[Our] ancestors and onwards have for generations occupied the northern lands, sons and grandsons have succeeded each other, and have not lost their past. Therefore the founder accepted Jin's calendar, his feudal rank called King of Dai. To the east [we] and Yan have been brothers for generations. Yi's receiving the instructions can arguably be said not to be a mistake.

Chui was impressed with his reply, and after that jokingly said:

My power is increasing [within] the Four Seas. Sir's ruler not seeing me himself, how [can you] say it is not a mistake?

Yi said:

Suppose Yan does not cultivate civil virtue, but wishes to use military power to strengthen yourself. So therefore the affairs of the home court's generals and leaders is not known by Yi.

When he returned back, he reported, saying:

When Chui is dead, then we can plot. Now it is just not possible.

Taizu with rising colour asked him about it. Yi said:

Chui's years are already setting, his son Bao is weak and without power and his planning is indecisive. Murong De carries himself with an air of talent, and is not a subject of a weak ruler. To pledge and rise up inside, this can be the plan for it.

Taizu considered it to be so. Later changed his fief to Duke of Pingyuan.

Taizu campaigned against Weichen. Yi set out along a separate road. He captured Weichen's corpse and transmitted the head to the Acting Palace. Taizu was greatly pleased and moved his fief to Duke of Dongping. He was instructed to direct the agricultural garrisons North of the He. From Wuyuan to Guyang outside the frontier,  he allotted farming grain and greatly obtained the people's heart.

At Murong Bao's robbing of Wuyuan, Yi administered and occupied Shuofang, and threatened his return journey. When Bing province was pacified, Yi's achievements were many. He moved to Prefect of the Masters of Writing.

He accompanied to besiege Zhongshan. At the defeat of Murong De, Taizu used Pulin's wife, Ms. Zhou to bestow on Yi, and also his pages, servants, wealth and valuables. He soon moved to Commander-in-Chief of All Army Affairs in the Centre and Outside and Imperial Chancellor of the Left. He advanced in fief to King of Wey.

Zhongshan was pacified. Then dispatched Yi to chastise Ye, he pacified it. Taizu wanted to return to Daidu. He set up an Acting Tribunal of Zhongshan, and decreed Yi as Provisional Prefect of the Masters of Writing to thereby headquarter it. Distant and near adhered in their breasts. Soon after summoned Yi as Imperial Chancellor to enter and assist.

He also accompanied on the campaign against the Gaoche. Yi separately accompanied north-west to rout their separate section. He also accompanied to chastise Yao Ping and had merit. He was bestowed tabby silk, cloth, floss silk, cattle, horses, sheep, etc. Yi's physical strength was beyond other people, his bow's strength  was maybe 10 shi. The Duke of Chenliu, Qian's spear was greatly claimed as unusual. At the time people talked of the King of Wey's bow, King Huan's lance.

When Shizu was just born [408 AD], Taizu was happy and at night summoned Yi to enter. Taizu said:

When Sir heard the nightly call, [you] then was not astonished or afraid?

Yi said:

Your Subject pushed forward sincerely to thereby serve Your Majesty. Your Majesty clarified and made known, Your Subject immediately calmed himself. Suddenly receiving the nightly decree, astonished with it, fear is truly not nothing.

Taizu reported then the birth of Shizu. Yi rose up and bowed, and then sang and danced. Thereupon they paired up to drink into the early dawn. He summoned the crowd of subjects to enter, and bestowed on Yi driving horses, driving belt, double-thread silk, brocades, etc.

Before this, Hou Ji of Shanggu [or “the Marquis of Shanggu, Ji?], Zhang Gun, Xu Qian of Dai commandery, and others who were famous in their time, and who had studied broadly the new and old, began to come and enter the state. They heard Yi received gentlemen, and first went to Yi. Yi was equally courteous to them, and they conversed together on the activities of their generations. He drew with his fingers the mountains and rivers, distinguished the walled towns, with successes and failures and strategic points. Qian and others sighed in deference, and spoke, saying:

The Duke of Pingyuan has great talents but does not scheme for the generation. We will attach ourselves to his tail.

Taizu considered Yi capable and admirable, and treated him with particular esteem. He several times favoured his mansion, with the rites of people of the same house. Yi bragged about his achievements and  was sure of his favour. Thereupon he and the Duke of Yidu, Mu Chong, planned to make chaos. He hid military gentlemen to wait for Taizu, and wished to be rebellious. Chong's son Suiliu was among the hidden soldiers. Taizu summoned him, wanting to have him do something [?]. Siuliu heard the summons and feared setting out, he went over the walls to report the circumstances. Taizu kept it secret and pardoned him.

6th Year of Tianci [509 AD], Heaven's patterns had many alterations. The divination stated:

There will be a traitorous subject, the prostrate corpse sheds blood.

Taizu hated it, and rather killed nobles and ministers, wishing to thereby satisfy and attending to Heaven's calamity. Yi on the inside could not calm himself, and escaped and ran on a single horse. Taizu sent people to pursue and apprehend him. Thereupon he was bestowed death and was buried with the rites of a commoner. Yi had 15 sons.
