The Forbidden Kingdom
Martial arts film fans in North America are set to enjoy the release of the Forbidden Kingdom, an epic film featuring two living legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
“American teenager, Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano), is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kung-fu classics. He makes an extraordinary discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. With the lost relic in hand, Jason unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to ancient China to join the drunken immortal Lu Yan (Jackie Chan), the silent monk (Jet Li) and a young revenge seeking girl Golden Sparrow (Yifei Liu) on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King from the evil Jade Warlord (Collin Chou).”

“Nike Helping Asian Suppliers With Energy Efficiency”
“While many of the most prominent energy efficiency projects have taken off in Western countries, efforts to reduce energy in Asia may be even more crucial as it has solidified itself as the factory of the world. I have previously covered Nike’s eco-projects and now I find Nike driving an energy efficiency effort in Asia. The first phase of an Nike project to identify the biggest energy saving opportunities has now been completed for their footware suppliers.”
According to “Nike’s Energy Efficiency Update 2008,” there were three interesting facts to come of the research:
“Energy-efficiency opportunities were dramatically different between the two contract factories. This finding ruled out the opportunity to take a “cut and paste” approach, requiring Nike to conduct energy assessments for each footwear contract manufacturing factory, prolonging this phase of the work.”
“The complexity of footwear manufacturing infrastructure is staggering, containing more than 15,500 motors, 10,000 light bulbs, 6,000 sewing machines, four separate compressor farms, six separate chillers and many large boilers.”
“Additional work by an energy-efficiency expert is necessary to develop a “blueprint” for implementing energy efficiency within individual footwear contract manufacturing factories. which can be easily applied to implementing energy efficiency within footwear contract manufacturing.”
Nike is planning to apply this energy-reducing plan for pilot suppliers May 31, 2008.
