Gansu , Not just the silent Northwest in people’s mind. This land is blooming with infinite vitality and greenery, and a deep river of history flows. It has more enviable colors. The wild red of Danxia landform… The refreshing green of Qilian Mountain… The golden color of Populus euphratica forest in autumn… Walking on the desolate land, such color contrast is often unbelievable. This is the most special place in Gansu, but not the most powerful place. The most powerful is Eight thousand years of civilization is here . Emperor Wu of the Han pierced the Western Regions here, and the art of grottoes lasted for thousands of years. How many eminent monks spread the Dharma here… No place is more qualified to represent the glorious history of China than the Hexi Corridor. Gansu, In the eyes of foodies, it may be a bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles. In the eyes of martial arts fans, it may be a martial arts novel.

The first blind Asian to climb Mount Everest. Photo: InHope Pictures “It doesn’t matter if you are disabled or normal, whether you are blind or have no arms or legs, as long as you have a strong will, you can always accomplish something that others cannot ,” Zhang told Reuters news agency. Zhang conquered the 8,849m high Himalayas on May 24 with three guides and returned to the camp on May 27. Born in Chongqing City, Zhang lost his sight at the age of 21 due to glaucoma. He was inspired by Erik Weihenmayer, an American blind climber who climbed Mount Everest in 2001. After that, Zhang started climbing with the guidance of a friend, Qiang Zi. Nepal reopened Mount Everest to foreigners in April after a period of closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “I was still scared because I couldn’t see where I was going and couldn’t find my center of gravity, so sometimes I would fall. However, I still think that even if it’s difficult, I still have to face it. It’s part of climbing. There is difficulty, there is danger, and this is what climbing means.”

However, when the number of face-to-face meetings and the need to go out increases, many people are worried about their appearance and style of dress. The Washington Post. After about 15 months of implementing social distancing, many young people feel “like 20 years older”. Due to prolonged stress, they snack more than usual, leading to an increase in the rate of people suffering from obesity and uncontrolled weight gain. Many Americans are concerned about their appearance and how to dress when the normal rhythm of life gradually returns. Photo: Westen61. In addition, being at home most of the time makes most young people have the habit of wearing comfortable, not restrictive or overly formal clothes. Therefore, when having to say “goodbye” to baggy nightshirts and pants, many people find it difficult to know how to dress. Personal stylist Lauren A. Rothman, who runs Styleauteur (Washington, USA), tells The Washington Post that in the past few weeks, she has received many requests for dress advice from clients. “They are quite nervous when preparing to meet partners, meet friends, date more. I always get questions like ‘What should I wear for this occasion?’ or ‘Is this style still trendy?'” Rothman said. Last month, Melissa Burton (38), a program manager for the North Carolina state government, started working in the office again. She said choosing clothes for work became a big challenge because before, she used to wear a vest and stretch yoga pants when meeting online. Months of working from home make most residents stick with T-shirts and pajamas rather than polite and sophisticated outfits. Photo: Getty. “Now, I have to get up early to do my hair, do my makeup, choose my accessories and choose my clothes every morning or before I go out. Everything has to be in place,” Burton said. She revealed that she once went to work wearing a hoodie and tights because she was just going to drop by for a few documents. However, she accidentally meets a few colleagues. “Luckily they didn’t realize because I was wearing a hat, a mask. I didn’t want them to see me in that condition at all,” she said. Panic because there’s nothing to wear Everett Sotelo, a 26-year-old software engineer from the city of Phoenix (Arizona, USA), also fell into a similar situation. To prepare for a wedding in Pennsylvania, he tried on a series of suits in his closet and still couldn’t fit. “All the shirts were full and I gradually realized that this is not okay, the same with casual pants. I have never been through this and only 30 hours before the flight takes off,” he said. tell. Therefore, Sotelo had to rush to the store to buy a new suit that same night. The suit he chose was not very comfortable, but at least it fit. Sotelo said that although he was not satisfied with the new suit, he secretly felt lucky because “at least it fits people”. Photo: The Washington Post/Everett Sotelo. In a February poll conducted by Axious-Ipsos, 32% of Americans said they had gained weight in the past few weeks. This rate is higher than in August 2020. Musa Tarig, head of marketing for the GoFundMe website, also had trouble choosing work clothes for the same reason. Last month, the 38-year-old traveled from San Francisco to San Diego to meet team members in person for the first time. “At that point, I realized I wasn’t wearing the right shirts anymore, I was left with wrinkled or dark colors. I panicked because I had nothing to wear and this caused me to go back The office is more stressful than I thought,” he said. Personal stylist Rothman asserts that many clients don’t even know what they plan to do in the near future. What they are most interested in at this point is the process of preparing to “slap” their appearance before really returning to the old lifestyle. “I often advise clients that they need to plan specifically for the next 6 weeks to get in shape and shop for the right clothes. I don’t encourage them to worry about the fall-winter fashion trends. This is a transition period and we have to start all over again,” Rothman said.

Ushakov said that the meeting will begin at 14:00 on the 16th, Moscow time. It doesn’t make sense to say how long the meeting will last. Everything depends on the progress of the discussion and the state of the two presidents.

Data map: Russian President Putin.

Ushakov said that this is the first meeting in the “most difficult” situation of bilateral relations, and he is not convinced that certain agreements will be reached at the meeting. But both sides understand that it’s time to start cleaning up this “mess”. He emphasized that any agreement reached between the two countries is compromised.

Ushakov revealed that the meeting will consist of one small-scale meeting and two large-scale talks. During the small-scale talks, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Brinken will accompany the two presidents to attend the meeting. The two presidents do not have a one-on-one meeting plan, but this may change during the summit.

Ushakov said that after the meeting, the two sides will hold their own press conferences, which is what makes this meeting different from other events. Prior to this, the United States supported the holding of a joint press conference more actively than the Russian side, but later reached a consensus, and the two sides communicated with the media after the meeting.

Ushakov said that the two sides will discuss almost all topics of concern, including strategic stability, combating the new crown epidemic, combating cybercrime, and regional issues such as Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. He emphasized that strategic stability is one of the key issues at the meeting. In recent years, this field has accumulated many serious problems caused by unilateral actions of the United States. In addition, the meeting also plans to discuss the prospects of trade and investment cooperation between the two countries.

Russia-US relations have continued to be tense in recent years. In March of this year, Russian President Putin proposed an online open dialogue with US President Biden. After that, Biden expressed his belief that he would have a talk with Putin “at a certain moment.” On April 13, when Biden was on the phone with Putin, he proposed to hold a summit with Putin in a third country to discuss bilateral relations. On May 25, the Russian President’s website announced that Putin will meet with Biden in Geneva, Switzerland on June 16. (Finish)

Sanford said her mother did not expect to receive a pile of coins for child support, and when her father showed up with the trailer, the mother did not immediately recognize him. “She didn’t know who it was until he shouted,’This is the last child support payment!'”

When Sanford came home from school, he found that the coins were still on the way. Sanford said that she and her mother were shocked and injured by the incident, but they quickly decided to donate $800 to a local shelter for domestic violence victims. With the help of her friends, she collected all the coins, then packed the coins with her mother and donated every penny to the “safe harbor”.

Summer comes, Americans go crazy again with cicadas sweeping everywhere. Although they do not cause damage to crops like locusts and grasshoppers, their cries are extremely scary. Seeing a good opportunity, Asians in the US began to promote many dishes from cicadas, from fried, traditional grilled to pizza, stir fried, cooked with sauce.. At first, they were hesitant, but after enjoying the deliciousness of cicadas, Americans began to learn how to make many different dishes from cicadas themselves. Recently, a famous pizza restaurant in Ohio has launched a spicy Thai cicada pizza. After launching the test version, the number of customers responding is not small, those who have tasted it say that the cicada pizza is very delicious. Since then, many variations with cicada pizza have been expanded, giving customers more choices. Most people think that although it looks terrible, cicadas eat very well.

While the US AH-64 has performed excellently both in combat and in the export market, the Russian Mi-28 has only Iraqi and Algerian customers. The idea that Mi-28 will be chosen by India, however, in the end New Delhi chose the US AH-64. Mi-28 is also a line of attack helicopters with a long development time when the first flight appeared in 1982, but it was not until 2009 that the version capable of day and night combat entered service. After having an unimpressive first field trip in the Syrian battlefield, Russia has continued to upgrade to produce the Mi-28NM version. Currently in Russia’s official payroll, there is a Mi-28A version that is only capable of daytime combat, this version is not appreciated; Mi-28N is a version capable of fighting in all weather conditions including night and the upgraded version of Mi-28NM has only been commissioned in small numbers. To be fair, the Mi-28 is a line of heavy attack helicopters capable of delivering devastating blows to the enemy. However, the Mi-28 did not live up to expectations when it was designed to replace the Mi-24s. In the Syrian battlefield, the Mi-28N did not even prove superior to the Mi-24. This made many Russian generals criticize the developer. Perhaps that is why the manufacturer Mil bet on the Mi-28NM version. Compared to its predecessor, although there are not many major changes in appearance except for the nose, the changes brought from the inside have helped this aircraft achieve high combat performance. Weapons analysts said that with the introduction of the Mi-28NM version, the attack helicopter line was enough to line up with the latest US version of the AH-64E. There have been reports that the Mi-28NM was secretly brought to Syria to test fire by Russia to evaluate its combat performance and obtain positive results. It was from this real combat test that Russia quickly decided to put the Mi-28NM into mass production. In terms of structure, the cockpit of the Mi-28NM is reinforced more firmly, with an air-conditioning system, with additional protective armor, including a metal front windshield that is resistant to 12 bullets, 7 mm. The cabin has an additional layer of glass that separates the compartment between the two pilots, minimizing the possibility of the main pilot and the pilot pilot dying at the same time from enemy fire. The alloy frame of the Mi-28NM is able to withstand 20mm anti-aircraft shells. With the design applied on Mi-28NM, for the first time the principle of separating the cockpit between the main pilot and the pilot pilot has been applied. In the event of an emergency when the plane is above 100 m above the ground, the crew can parachute out when the plane crashes and crashes. The emergency exit system will be activated by the main pilot and the pilot pilot separately. According to Mr. Dmitry Litovkin, CEO of Independent Military Review, Mi-28NM is an attack helicopter version with enhanced tactical features, especially combat power. The helicopter is equipped with high-precision weapons, has a new control system integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). Mi-28NM is compatible, join the battle formation with helicopters, UAVs and other aircraft on the battlefield. In terms of firepower, the Mi-28NM heavy attack helicopter is equipped with a variety of powerful weapons systems, including new-generation multipurpose missiles and various bombs. The helicopter can attack stationary and moving targets within a radius of 8-10 km. Mi-28NM has a new LSN-296 aiming system, which can control two of Russia’s most powerful anti-tank missiles today, Khrizantema and Vikhr. The pilot of the Mi-28NM is equipped with a flying helmet with a specially designed target indicator system, displaying panoramic information to aim at targets in all directions. Mi-28NM is equipped with Nadterechny Н025 radar as well as a new generation of aiming and guidance complexes, including a control system for landing in dark and foggy conditions, which helps to improve combat efficiency. almost twice that of its predecessor. In the design of the Mi-28NM, the position of the radar transceiver remains above the main rotor of the helicopter. In addition to the upgraded avionics and body frame, the other difference is that the propeller of the Mi-28NM uses composite materials to make the helicopter more stable, the new engine is stronger but more fuel-efficient than that of the Mi-28NM. Predecessor. In addition, Mi-28NM is also equipped with a suicide drone. Helicopters can enter a predefined combat area and launch one or more drones from the cockpit. Once the target has been identified, the crew will report the data and monitor the kill launch process. Mi-28NM is capable of operating in all weather conditions, can fly in both automatic and manned modes, adapts to all kinds of terrain. One of the most practical improvements in the Mi-28NM is the crew’s “double control” mode. In the event that the main pilot is injured or killed, the pilot can still control the helicopter. Another improvement is that Mi-28NM is equipped with an additional radar system on the cockpit, capable of scanning around the aircraft, with a scanning angle of up to 90 degrees horizontally and 44 degrees vertically, helping detect and locate multiple targets at the same time. With such top-notch features, Russia’s Mi-28NM is expected to create a breakthrough in the combat capabilities of the Russian military as well as in the export market.

Summer has arrived but luxury yachts anchored in deep-water ports are sparse, elite parties have yet to begin, music festivals are banned, bars remain closed. However, behind that bleak landscape is a whole plan to revive the tourism industry that has begun to spread across the island. In the labyrinthine alleys of the main town, street painters are painstakingly painting the walls. They hope that in the next few weeks or months, their work will be flooded with check-in photos on Instagram. Greece is launching a campaign called Blue Freedom on 80 islands with the desire to rebuild the smokeless industry amid the pandemic. The campaign started with a plan to vaccinate against Covid-19 for all people on the islands. Mykonos struggles to revive tourism. “Heaven” hides Greece’s post-Covid-19 economic recovery plans rely heavily on the tourism industry. This industry accounts for 18% of the economy and provides one-fifth of job opportunities for workers. Tourism also helped Greeks get out of a 10-year financial crisis that ended just before the outbreak of Covid-19. Last year, the country welcomed less than a third of 2019’s tourist arrivals, according to the UNWTO World Tourism Organization. Mykonos belongs to the Cyclades group of islands and is the most famous destination in Greece. Before the pandemic, this place was known as a “party paradise” for the super rich and famous. From former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to female stars such as Grace Kelly (USA), Brigitte Bardot (France), Sophia Loren (Italy)… all have visited Mykonos. Mayor Konstantinos Koukas said: “The people of Mykonos were shocked when the number of tourists dropped sharply last year. But this year there are signs that the number of visitors may double compared to 2020.” Before the pandemic, the island of Mykonos was famous for its bustling nightlife. Compared to some other Mediterranean countries that also depend on tourism, Greece is said to be working hard to revive the smokeless industry. At the beginning of April, as the world faced a new wave of epidemics, the country reopened to most tourists. It is the second EU country, after Croatia, to allow Americans to come in without quarantine. According to the CNN , Americans are the most generous travelers in the Mediterranean country. The US ambassador to Greece, Geoffrey Pyatt, recently praised the “record nine direct flights per day by US airlines to Greece this summer”. With dozens of fully vaccinated islands and long coastlines, Greece promises to become a “shelter paradise” in the middle of the epidemic season. However, things in Mykonos seem more complicated. This party island is unlike any other idyllic destination. Mykonos’ brand and sales are shaped by its bustling nightlife, a business that’s not easy to bounce back from during the pandemic. Magic formula Although the US State Department recently added Greece to its long list of “Level 4: Do Not Travel” countries, the promise of a Covid-19-free Mykonos has attracted the interest of travelers worldwide. demand, especially from the US. Iraklis Zisimopoulos, CEO of the Semeli Hospitality Group hotel, restaurant and bar chain on the island, said his company has received a lot of inquiries and booking requests recently. “The two main questions are the vaccination plan and whether tourists will be able to party on the island like they used to. We told them that in July things will probably be back to normal as they were. There’s never been a pandemic.” Zisimopoulos describes the vaccine as a “miracle recipe for a return to nightlife”. Greece hopes a nationwide vaccination plan will help revive Mykonos. Global reopening plans remain flexible, depending on the policies of each country. The new variant of SARS-CoV-2 is a constant worry. Some countries continue to ban their citizens from traveling abroad. Travelers may be forced to quarantine after returning home. However, in Mykonos, the first large yachts of this summer have arrived. At the trendy Alemagou Beach bar, German booze is ready again. After months of lockdown, a visitor from Hamburg (Germany) said that she and her friends were finally reunited in Mykonos and it felt like a dream. “Last year, we were not vaccinated. But this year, we became the first to get vaccinated and travel. We want to show people that they can have a good time and be safe here,” she said.

Speaking of the two American brands that have a strong reputation in the domestic market, it must be Ford and General Motors, and their product lineups each have “specially supplied” models belonging to the Chinese market, and the sales of the two cars are in Among the top compact models in the same class, they are the Ford Focus and Buick Hideo. These two models have their own characteristics. Ford Fireworks has conquered the hearts of many Chinese consumers at Changan Ford with affordable prices and appropriate and practical configurations. Each model of the past generations has the reputation of being a “home expert”. Weighed. Buick Hideo, with its sporty exterior design and chassis tuning, can be regarded as a “specially supplied” driving control car among American models. In terms of price, both models have different degrees of preferential strength. Because of the earlier change of Buick Hideo, the reference price of the 2021 Buick Hideo entry-level model with automatic transmission is around 80,000 yuan. And the Ford Fires is in the period of about to change models, so the preferential price is not too much. From the previous generations of Ford Fires’s preferential strength, we can see that after the new car has been on the market for a period of time, the reference sale of the entry-level model with automatic transmission is low. The price is basically around 55,000 yuan. So in terms of price, Ford Fireworks is even better. Atmosphere and sports, which value is more eye-catching? In appearance, both models have deeply studied the aesthetics of domestic consumers. Ford Firefly captures the characteristics of domestic consumers’ desire for luxury , It seems that Ferris is the most appropriate to describe the “Martin face” with the atmosphere and resistance, and the characteristics of the “Martin face” can meet the needs of most Chinese users for face. Buick Hideo has captured the demand of domestic consumers for younger car purchases, showing the characteristics of youth sports everywhere. Ford Fireworks adopts a brand-new family-style design language. The front grille area called “Star Curtain” is larger and larger than the old model. The two-color chrome-plated decorative strips in the interior look like a star point. It looks very layered. Strong. The full-LED headlights are no longer rounded, but become more slender and sharp. A penetrating chrome strip is connected to the left and right headlights, and the front face is more refined. In terms of the dimensions of the Ford Fireworks, the length, width and height are 4633/1825/1490mm, and the wheelbase is 2687mm. This performance is also the mainstream level in the same class of models. The rear of the car retains the small rear wing design of the old model, and the shape is uneven. The taillights also have a penetrating chrome trim to connect the long left and right taillights, keeping the height consistent with the headlight design. The 2021 Buick Hideo continues the design language style of the old model in the overall appearance. The polygonal center mesh with silver chrome decoration presents a very strong color family-style design. Buick Hideo used to be more sporty than the Ford Focus, which is exactly the opposite of the homely stable appearance pursued by models of the same level on the market. The side of the Buick Hideo is very round and full, without a sharp waistline running through it, and no exaggerated design. The side of the new car looks very pragmatic. The bulging shape of the roof can make up for the shortcomings of the lack of space for the car’s overhead view. The length, width and height are 4609/1798/1464mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2640mm. Such body size data performs well in the competition of the same level, and does not have the outstanding performance of the competing Ford Focus. Technology large screen or mechanical knob? Although the appearance has its own characteristics, the performance of the two cars in the car is more in line with the design of contemporary family cars. In contrast, the new generation of Forys has also made great improvements in the interior part. In summary, it is more modern and technological, and more in line with the current aesthetic trend. The Buick Hideo’s interior does not have too many designs, and it is more pragmatic in everything you see. Compared with the old model, the interior of the Ford Fire Earth-shaking changes have taken place.The new car takes the simple and technological “giant screen smart cockpit” as the theme, and has a huge facelift. The dual 10.25-inch floating dual screens look enough to be full of futuristic technology. The interior of the car is covered with a large number of soft materials and the color matching is full of fashion and vitality, creating an excellent visual and tactile feeling in the car. The interior design of the 2021 Buick Hideo does not have as many designs as Ford Fires, and the configuration functions that can be accessed are mainly practical. The traditional pointer instruments, rotary air-conditioning buttons and other configuration designs do not seem aesthetically pleasing, but the 7-inch touch screen barely touches technology. But for a sports-focused car, it’s the mechanical sense that makes it more tonal. Control and power to satisfy the family who is more fragrant? In terms of power and handling, Ford Fires’ power is obviously more dominant, but the chassis tuning performance is average, and Buick Hideo is not as powerful as Ford Fires, but its chassis control performance is extremely good. Ford Fireworks continues to be equipped with a 1.5L three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 122 horsepower and a peak torque of 152 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual gearbox. The power is definitely the best in its class, but out of consideration that the car users are family consumers, the chassis tuning of Ford Focus is not too radical. The combination of front Macpherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, under Ford’s excellent chassis tuning, is enough to meet the comfortable ride experience of daily travel, and it can also bring the driver due control. Although Buick Hideo’s power is not as outstanding as Ford Fireworks, the 1.5L four-cylinder engine has a maximum output of 113 horsepower and a peak torque of 141 Nm. But the performance of the four-cylinder is still a little more stable than that of the three-cylinder Fries. And in terms of controllability, Buick Hideo’s performance is more prominent, and it is the most equipped model in its class. Adopting front Macpherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, such a configuration is rare in the same level, The upper adjustment limit of the rear independent suspension is higher. The texture of the chassis is quite solid, and the suspension adjustment is soft. It can calmly cope with potholes and intense driving, giving the car a high-quality comfort performance. It is not difficult to see that if you want to survive in the domestic A-class car market, you need not only excellent product capabilities, but also a better understanding of domestic consumers’ car needs. And these two “exclusive” models, Ford Fireworks focuses on fashion, Buick Hideo focuses on control, All have their own distinctive characteristics. For less than 100,000 yuan, consumers can choose a family car that is both durable and unique. Buick Hideo and Ford Fires are indeed two choices that have performed well in this field.

Photographer Annette LeMay Burke has brought to readers a collection of photo books to deceive the eyes of the landscape of the West of the United States. The mobile base stations here are “disguised” as giant palm trees and cactus. “Originally, what I saw was a beautiful landscape photo. However, something wasn’t right. Some giant cactus, a pine tree growing in the arid desert… Upon closer inspection, I don’t see them as real trees,” said Ann M. Jastrab, Executive Director of Carmel Center for Photographic Arts, California (USA). A fake cactus used to “camouflage” electric poles. Photo taken in Phoenix, Arizona. These portable plants are not only found in the West, but also in many parts of the United States. This is the solution to prevent visual pollution caused by constructions. Power lines, cables, broadcasting poles… were growing densely, causing the landscape to be ruined. This forces suppliers to consider a more landscape-friendly, environment-friendly solution. A palm tree broadcast mast in La Mesa, California. How to “camouflage” depends on climate, terrain… Palm tree-shaped stations are usually located in warmer regions. Meanwhile, the pine tree image is used in colder climates. Some places use other fancy images. Pictured, a bison-shaped mobile base station in Colorado. Outside the church in Mesa, Arizona, cross-shaped cell towers are used. Aesthetic factors are always prioritized by service providers when choosing images. Sophisticated “camouflage” images were captured by Burke. According to this photographer, “camouflage” mobile base stations first appeared in Denver, Colorado in 1992. Since then, they have appeared in more places. The cost for the “coats” is also increasingly expensive, depending on the authenticity of the design. While helping to reduce visual pollution, these fake trees pose a bigger problem for the environment. Over time, their plastic fake leaves fall all over the road, adversely affecting the ecosystem. “What was created to limit visual pollution leads to plastic pollution. In the future, these artificial trees will probably be wiped out when smaller 5G stations appear,” Burke shared.

That is the first reason why many restaurants in New York City have set up separate areas to serve diners who have been vaccinated against Covid-19. They think that people who have been vaccinated, even though they gather in close proximity, the possibility of disease transmission is very low, according to New York Post . But most of all, restaurant owners admit that they want to give diners the feeling of dining in 2019, a time when Covid-19 has not yet appeared. Carroll Place bar set up a separate area for customers who have been vaccinated. Photo: New York Post. Carroll Place bar (157 Bleecker Street, West Village) plans to open a new seating area for guests who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 on June 9. Restaurant owner AJ Bontempo shared: “I think that when life starts to return to normal, people will want to feel comfortable eating without having to worry about the disease like before. The new area is like a gift to those who have been vaccinated.” Of the 109 seats on the main floor of Carroll Place bar, 90 are reserved for vaccinated guests. The remaining seats are arranged behind the stage for the disabled because there are suitable restrooms located on this floor. Meanwhile, 50 seats upstairs and another 130 seats outside will be reserved for unvaccinated customers at the bar. Jolene Pub in Manhattan reopened, serving only vaccinated diners. Photo: New York Post. The Carolines, a comedy club on Broadway, is also offering the best seats indoors for those who have been vaccinated. “The easiest way to get the best seats in the house? It’s vaccination! We require theatergoers to present their vaccination cards,” said Caroline Hirsch, founder and owner of the Carolines Club. She further explained that continuing to maintain a minimum distance of 2 meters will reduce the capacity of the theater to serve. In the future, some performances at the Carolines will be exclusively for vaccinated audiences. “Our actors are always hoping to perform in front of a packed audience of people who have completed their Covid-19 vaccinations. When you’re a comedian, you want to see your audience laugh. Actors will not feel anything when they have to be 4 meters away from the audience and are covered by a plastic wall, “said Ms. Hirsch.

Simply put, dating in 2020 is “very scary,” according to Monica Zahl (23 years old), a fresh graduate in Brooklyn (USA). “There is nothing less attractive than risking your own health,” she told New York Times. Six months after the outbreak of the pandemic, Zahl started dating again in outdoor locations like parks. She and her date both wear masks and if you want to move inside, consent is required. These days, fully vaccinated, Zahl has to be less cautious about the people she meets. “I feel much more free,” she said. Many people start dating again after getting the Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: Unsplash. Thanks to the vaccine, dating is becoming popular again, although it will be very different from the past. For some people, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has brought a nightmare that is difficult to shake off in a short time. Many other singles say that the long period of isolation has made them realize many things and change their priorities. “I got the vaccine!” For vaccinated singles, the need to mate is stronger than ever. From January 2021, matchmaking company Three Day Rule began to see a boom in business. “We’ve never been this crowded,” said Talia Goldstein, the company’s founder and president. On social networking sites and dating apps, people mention being vaccinated as an attractive trait. In April 2021, dating site OkCupid reported that the phrase “vaccinated” in user profiles skyrocketed 680% compared to two months ago. Being vaccinated is a big plus in the Covid-19 dating scene. Photo: AZ Big Media. Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that fully vaccinated people can congregate indoors without wearing masks. However, the risk has not been clearly determined for both couples who have and have not been vaccinated, said epidemiologist Chris Beyrer at John Hopkins University (USA). “The risk of infection is almost no longer with those who have been vaccinated. If they are infected, they also have very little ability to spread the virus,” Dr. Beyrer said. For unvaccinated people, if you are a healthy young adult, living alone and dating someone who has been vaccinated, the risk is relatively low. But for those who have underlying medical conditions, are over 65 years old or live with someone over 65, they should follow safety instructions such as wearing a mask and social distancing. Anxiety and loss Vaccines have reduced the likelihood of infection, but not necessarily alleviating the fear in American society over the past year. Ilana Diamant, a filmmaker living in Brooklyn (USA), returned to her single life in January 2021 and recently had her second vaccination. “Even after getting vaccinated, I no longer feel the urge to go out. Seeing the crowds gives me goosebumps,” she said. Diamant (25 years old) feels shy when dating people who despise the epidemic. For her, that means not taking human life seriously. However, she wondered how to mention social responsibility at a party without being seen as boring. Vibrant parties are back with singles eager to connect. Photo: SCMP. While there are singles looking for a deep and lasting connection, many just want to have fun without being tied down. Terron Moore (32 years old) just ended a relationship in March 2021. He doesn’t want to be in a serious relationship yet, but just wants to stand on the dance floor with other gay men or kiss a stranger. Moore believes that creating a deep connection means sharing the “Covid-19 burden”. “I just went through a big change in my worldview and who I am,” says Moore. During a period of reflection on his life, he didn’t want to meet someone new and hear their story of fighting the epidemic. Despite seeing herself as a self-centered and self-indulgent person, Moore has learned to prioritize her own health and life first during the pandemic. He still maintains this way of thinking to this day. Honest and open heart Jenny Taitz, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles (USA), believes that assertiveness and self-understanding is a positive change after the pandemic. “After a year of life interruption, many people are becoming more aware of what is important to them and what they can endure,” she said. In a report on the future of dating, Tinder said its users are being more honest and clear about their personal boundaries. That means people will be more authentic in post-pandemic dating. People become authentic and seek deeper values ​​after the pandemic. Photo: The Lily. Many of Three Day Rule’s clients are less shallow, Ms. Goldstein said. In the past, many people’s standards were usually about height or weight. Now they prioritize inner qualities like a sense of humor or a forward-thinking spirit. Moreover, with the flexibility of remote working, dating is no longer limited by geography as it used to be. “We are connecting people who are willing to catch a flight to meet in real life,” she said. Even though face-to-face interactions are becoming safer, online dating is still popular. Tinder says 40% of Gen Z users (born 1996-2010) will continue to video chat even when businesses reopen. Despite the hesitation, most people are excited about the fresh start after the pandemic. “The general mood has shifted from health anxiety to curiosity and now to hope,” says psychologist Taiz. “The dating scene this spring and summer will be great. The positive changes from last year will continue once everyone is vaccinated,” Ms. Goldstein said excitedly.

However, in order to keep the true taste of Vietnamese pho, Filet Pho has experienced many difficulties in learning pho recipes and finding ingredients to match the traditional pho style. Entrepreneur Ninh Nguyen, owner of the Filet pho brand, shared: “ Before embarking on implementation, it is necessary to prepare all the ingredients, calculate so that the taste of the finished product has the highest harmony, satisfying the taste, smell and sight of customers. “. “ As a business, you need to put your mind first to maintain the reputation and support of customers. However, in the traditional pho business, the mind must be bigger because this is not only an ordinary dish but also the quintessential Vietnamese dish. “, businessman Ninh Nguyen confided. Before Filet Pho was officially launched in the US market, businessman Ninh Nguyen said that she also had a lot of difficulties in how to harmonize the taste of her dishes to match the local people. However, she still chooses to keep the traditional flavors of this dish, so that Vietnamese communities, even though far from home, can still enjoy the specialties of their hometown, helping them to relieve some of their nostalgia. hometown. In the US, many restaurants open every day. However, there are places that have been in business for a few months and have closed. According to businessman Ninh Nguyen, in addition to the quality of the food, the service attitude and after-sales service are also extremely important in creating the success of a restaurant. Therefore, Pho Filet regularly corrects the staff’s service attitude, so that “please come, please go”. In addition, when a complaint or problem arises, the store will also quickly receive, handle and give customers the most satisfactory answer. With positive feedback from diners with Filet pho, in the near future, the Filet noodle brand of businessman Ninh Nguyen will surely expand more and more, becoming a favorite place of the overseas Vietnamese community in the US. , thereby further spreading the spirit of Vietnamese cuisine to friends and the international community.

Located in a densely populated urban area in Ho Chi Minh City, the house was created with the desire to create as much space as possible, providing an interesting living atmosphere. The architect’s idea was to rearrange the allowable space by taking 2 internal spaces from the main block, dividing them into smaller blocks and attaching them back to make a balcony. In this way, the architect created an empty space that allows wind and natural light to flow to every corner of the house while keeping the required area. The house is 5 floors high, including 7 rooms, including 2 atrium rooms with private yard. These 7 rooms embrace 2 spaces inside with some balconies facing the outside. The interior void offers a private courtyard, a laundry balcony and a ventilation shaft. Meanwhile, the outside balcony along with the double-layer brick creates a “dual leather” facade that protects the townhouse from tropical weather. The location of the balcony and the trees are randomly studied to help the building have something in harmony with the surrounding context. The bedroom is simple and bright. The terrace is designed with many green plants. Photo source: Hiroyuki Oki Video: House 25m2- opportunity to have a house for many people? Source: VTV24

The US has a rather slow 5G rollout. Photo: NetEase Since the advent of 5G technology, US carriers have been slow to deploy 5G networks. The main reasons are limited spectrum resources available for 5G, cumbersome deployment of 5G devices, and lack of killer applications for 5G services. The media often uses words like “fast” to describe 5G speeds, but the speed of 5G wireless network rollout in the US has nothing to do with the word. Over the past three years, the prospect of 5G wireless networks has been the focus of major media reports. But for most Americans, the real 5G that can achieve the desired effect is yet to emerge. Although all the major wireless carriers in the country claim that their 5G services have covered the entire US, industry analysts argue that this so-called 5G service is not much different from the US. 4G. According to market research firm Evercore ISI, most Americans may not enjoy 5G service that is significantly faster than current wireless communication networks. “Overall, it is expected that between late 2021 and late 2023, truly better 5G services will cover two-thirds of the US population,” said James Ratcliffe, an analyst at Evercore ISI. The first batch of mobile phones that support 5G networks was launched in mid-2019, according to Ratcliffe, in the most optimistic scenario, wireless network operators will be able to provide “real” 5G services to 2/3 of the US population in the next 30 months. Meanwhile, the first mobile phone to support 4G network was released in 2010, and the US 4G network was basically rolled out 18 months later. Analysts, academics and former industry executives say a combination of factors has resulted in a relatively slow rollout of 5G networks in the US. Some of these problems are related to network infrastructure: high-speed network transmission frequency bands and signal coverage are limited. Moreover, the new network equipment that needs to be on the shelves to deploy 5G networks is relatively cumbersome. In addition, many new devices are not made in the US, so the time to purchase the device will be longer. Industry observers also point out that the current 5G network still lacks breakthrough applications, and cannot stimulate user demand and promote the spread of services such as mobile video in 4G networks. John Roese, chief technology officer of Dell Technologies and a former executive at companies like Huawei and Nortel, said that although wireless operators have recently invested billions of dollars in 5G networks, when Because their revenue in 5G-related businesses is not stable, they may not be able to accelerate the construction of new networks. According to Mr. Roese, wireless network operators have had disappointing returns when investing in 4G networks. He said that the main beneficiaries of 4G networks are technology companies that provide applications and other services through the network. “So wireless operators are very cautious about this.” Limited frequency range Photo: Sina To meet the large traffic that 5G networks have to transport, carriers need to open “highways” for data. The spectrum is similar to the real estate that the government grants to carriers through auctions to build highways. The more land they have, the more lanes they can open for faster 5G and easier access. Currently, 5G networks mainly transmit data through low-band, mid-band and high-band. High-band (mmWave) aka millimeter wave has the highest data transfer rate and largest bandwidth, but the smallest coverage. Low band has wider coverage but slowest transmission speed. Finally, the mid-band is considered to be the balance between coverage and transmission speed. Companies like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile all claim that their 5G networks now cover more than 200 million Americans, enough to meet US demand. However, most of these networks rely on low-band radio waves to complete coverage, and network transmission speeds are limited. Wireless network operators are currently focused on capturing mid-bands and have invested a lot of money in recent tenders for these resources. But the main problem facing these companies is that most of the mid-band bands have been occupied by US government agencies and other agencies, mainly for military communications and meteorological services. . Until now, wireless network operators could only use a fraction of the mid-band resources. US government agencies are also aware of the lack of mid-band resources. Earlier this year, the US auctioned a total of $81 billion in mid-band licenses, and plans to hold another auction this fall. When operators were preparing to roll out 5G nearly 10 years ago, they generally believed that 5G networks would primarily use high-frequency radio waves, said Stefan Pongratz, analyst at Dell’Oro Group. . This portion of the spectrum resource is essentially unused. But Pangraz says that rolling out a 5G network using millimeter waves requires building more base stations, which will certainly take time to increase deployment density of base stations. He said that until recent years, the US turned its attention to mid-band radio waves as a way to roll out 5G networks faster. Where is the profit point? Photo: Justin Hall Comics Brian Kelley, an associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio, said the lack of disruptive applications is another major factor hindering the rollout of 5G networks. Mr. Kelly, who was an engineer at Motorola, said: “It can be said that this is the biggest factor that can stimulate the speed of 5G deployment.” According to analyst Craig Moffett, the 3 main advantages of 5G networks are faster data transmission (100 times faster than 4G), support for a large number of simultaneous connections, but also significantly improved response speed between devices. device is connected. “There isn’t a single revenue model that can combine these three advantages. It’s not even clear if consumers are willing to pay more for faster video downloads,” Moffett said. Moffitt said that because 5G networks can seamlessly connect sensors and other IoT devices, companies will likely be the first adopters of 5G services. He said that 5G networks “can be considered the next generation of Wi-Fi wireless networks, which are faster, more secure and can connect more devices”. But Moffett said the question is: “Will wireless operators build their own 5G networks for enterprises, or will the enterprises themselves deploy them?” This is important, he says, because if businesses choose to deploy their own 5G networks, wireless operators may lose the associated revenue and not be able to invest more money in building infrastructure. 5G layer. Device problem Currently, in the world, there are 5 companies that have successfully produced network equipment for 5G, none of which is in the US. Photo: Sina 5G networks are very different from 4G, in part because 5G networks need to transmit data at a higher frequency band. This means that upgrading 5G networks requires different technologies and devices. Evercore analyst Ratcliffe says installing new equipment can require finding a suitable location, obtaining the right permits, and even digging up roads and laying fiber optic cables to transfer data at high speeds between base stations. Gazzola, chief executive officer of Atlanta-based infrastructure company Bennett & Pless, said it is expected that by 2022, the construction work needed to bring wireless communication networks to 5G standards will increase. . However, the epidemic and technical obstacles have delayed progress. Equipment availability is also a common issue faced by wireless network operators. Dell’s Rose said that when 4G was first introduced around 2010, there were about a dozen technology vendors offering wireless networking equipment, including Canada’s Nortel and America’s Motorola. Today, there are only five major players in the global network equipment market: Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, ZTE and Huawei. “Two in China. One in Finland, one in Sweden and one in Korea.” These suppliers are all located outside the US. Worse still, 5G network equipment requires computer chips while the chip industry has been struggling recently to cope with supply shortages.

A 27-year-old Soviet cosmonaut sits atop the R-7 rocket – the world’s first intercontinental rocket, inside the Vostok-1 (Oriental 1) ship. His name is Yuri Gagarin. Minutes later, he changed human history forever to become the first person in the world to fly into space. Exactly 11 minutes later, Yuri Gagarin was in orbit, flying at 10 times the speed of a rifle bullet. Be the first to leave the planet. On the 60th anniversary of that legendary space voyage (1961-2021), British author and filmmaker Stephen Walker wrote a book titled “Beyond: The Incredible Story of the First Man to Leave Our Planet and Travel into Space” to tell the whole new story of Yuri Gagarin and the US-Soviet special forces. Invite readers to track. APRIL 1961: THE BEST DAYS OF THE COLD WAR America and the Soviet Union confront each other through an iron curtain. Their new battlefield is Space. 01. Mercury Seven Vs. Vanguard Six Deep in the birch grove in the Shchyolkovsky district northeast of Moscow, far from the main highway to the city and hidden from prying eyes, is a small, old-fashioned two-story building, faded in the white snow. No one expected it to be the site of one of the most secretive Soviet facilities. Its codename is Army Unit 26266, also known by its initials TsPK – or Tsentr Podgotovki Kosmonavtov: Cosmonaut Training Center. And here it is, on a special Wednesday, January 18, 1961 — two days before the inauguration of US President John F. Kennedy in Washington; the day before Alan Shepard was selected as America’s first astronaut — 6 men after rigorous tests became the first Soviet space travel candidates, they were part of the detachment Vanguard Six . If NASA (USA) has Mercury Seven (left photo), the Soviet Union also owns Vanguard Six. Photo: Stephenwalkerbeyond.com Like the astronaut squad Mercury Seven of NASA in Langley, Virginia, six Vanguard Six elites were also sitting in a classroom. But the similarities (between the US and the Soviet Union) stop there. Because the members of the Vanguard Six are younger than the American Mercury Seven, in their 20s, not 30. All of them wear military uniforms instead of the usual Banlon shirts favored by American Mercury Seven pilots. And the height and weight index of Vanguard Six members are smaller. All to meet the condition of sitting inside the spherical capsule of the Orient spacecraft, mounted on top of an R-7 rocket, which they all hope will one day fly into space soon. The building in the birch forest is the first structure in its time, a large, heavily guarded complex closed to the outside world and dedicated solely to the training of its astronauts. Soviet Union. Not only is it sheltered by the forest, this site is not far from Moscow. It is also just a few kilometers from the Chkalovsky airbase, the largest military airport in the Soviet Union. And also located near OKB-1, the secret design and production plant in Kaliningrad, where capsules of the Orient spacecraft were being built at the time. 02. Squad in the dark No one at Chkalovsky knew why the six men were there or what they were being trained for. So did their parents, their friends, or their former colleagues in the air force. Even their wives are discouraged from asking too many questions. Unlike the Mercury Seven – astronaut candidates famous throughout the US if not the whole world – The Vanguard Six squad only exists in the dark. There is one key difference between the Vanguard Six and the Mercury Seven. These six aren’t the only astronauts in training. There are 14 others left. In an even more ruthless selection process than American astronauts have gone through, these 20 were selected from an initial pool of nearly 3,500 military pilots. Vanguard Six at the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan before Yuri Gagarin’s flight. From left: Grigory Nelyubov, Valery Bykovsky, Yuri Gagarin, Andriyan Nikolayev, Gherman Titov, Pavel Popovich. Photo: Astronaut Training Center / Roskosmos The Soviet space program had ambitions to conquer space, or at least to get people out of Earth’s gravity, and they needed manpower to do so. All 20 men began training in the spring of 1960, just two months after Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev urged his chief space engineers that they “should be quick to aim for space to avoid risk of being overtaken by the US”. At that time Mercury Seven had been training for almost a year. The Soviet Union needed to catch up quickly and these 20 cosmonauts were the answer. Rocket boosters, spacecraft capsules, designers, engineers, training centers, launch sites, and of course the astronauts themselves – all in the dark. By the fall of 1960, the Soviet manned space program had become a top national goal, especially since NASA was aiming to send an American into space as early as December. 1960. To speed things up and prioritize training on a single simulator, a shortlist of the top 6 was drawn up, which included, of course, Yuri Gagarin. In essence, they were the top detachment to face the Mercury Seven head-to-head, with the difference being that the Soviets knew about their American opponents, while the Americans knew nothing about the Soviets. Yuri Gagarin trains on a treadmill for her spaceflight. (RGANTD) “All 6 astronauts are wonderful people,” Lieutenant General Nikolai Kamanin, their head of training, wrote on the day the Vanguard Six took their final test. “Which of these six people will go down in history as the first in space?” “Who will be the first of them to pay with their lives in making this daring endeavor?” – Lieutenant General Nikolai Kamanin wrote in his diary. Flying in space can completely die in space. That is what the Soviet Union and the Vanguard Six cosmonauts were clearly aware of. Therefore, the pioneering mission to fly into space is a suicide mission. Back in December 1960, all 20 astronauts were asked to vote on which of their colleagues should fly first. The majority voted for Yuri Gagarin. But even after the exams at Army Unit 26266 were over and the results were known, a decision on who would carry out the mission had not yet been made. In Langley, Virginia, Bob Gilruth, the head of the Space Mission Team responsible for the Mercury Seven, was able to summon his seven astronauts into a class and speak to them, simply and according to his authority. , that who will be first. In the Soviet Union – Unlike the Mercury Seven, the Vanguard Six would have to wait — and they would have to wait until the very last moment. The first candidate chosen by the Soviet government was Yuri Gagarin. Second place went to Gherman Titov. The third is Grigory Nelyubov. Finally, history has glorified Yuri Gagarin. Not defying the expectations of Soviet leaders, Yuri Gagarin made history after completing a 108-minute mission around the Earth aboard the Orient 1 spacecraft, helping the Soviet Union surpass the US as the world leader. The first country in human history to send a man into space. Yuri Gagarin beat the Americans, defeating NASA astronaut Alan Shepard – The first American to fly into space on May 5, 1961 (3 weeks behind the Soviet Union). Yuri Gagarin’s achievement is a blow to American pride. When Alan Shepard heard the news, he slammed his hand on the table so hard that NASA staff thought his arm was broken. Back in the Soviet Union, leader Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev called Yuri Gagarin “Christopher Columbus of the Soviet Union”. Until now, this feat is still mentioned by many people because Yuri Gagarin herself has opened a new cosmic era in human history! Yuri Gagarin – full name is Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin – is the son of a carpenter, born (March 9, 1934) and raised in the idyllic village of Klushino in Smolensk, Western Soviet Union. At the age of 16, Yuri Gagarin moved to the capital to study as a foundry in a metal foundry in Lyubertsy. The opportunity to spread wings in the sky came to the young man when he entered a technical school in Saratov. There, he joined a flying club and had his first exhilarating experience from above. Yuri Gagarin decided to enter the Soviet Air Force Officer School to realize her dream of flying more in the sky. In 1957, at the energetic age of 23, Yuri Gagarin graduated with honors and became a full-fledged fighter pilot. In the same year, he met and married Valentina Goryacheva (then a medical technician, just graduated from Orenburg Medical School) and had two daughters later. Refer: Air Space Magazine

Research conducted in conjunction with the Technology and Public Purpose Project at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, found that 53% of drivers surveyed felt less safe while riding. share the road with self-driving pickup trucks, and 47% feel less safe sharing the road with other self-driving vehicles. The AAA notes that 38 states and the District of Columbia have pilot projects testing self-driving cars. In California and Nevada particularly, this project is actively lobbied for. In fact, only 35% of survey respondents know that some states allow testing of self-driving cars on public roads. Additionally, 34% of those surveyed said they support self-driving pilot programs while 36% are against. Self-driving car test project is applied in many places in the US Of those opposed to the program, 77% said they were concerned about the safety of sharing the road with self-driving cars while 62% worried about who would be responsible for collisions with self-driving cars. . More than half also believe that the public needs to know the safest way to be on the road with self-driving test vehicles. The study also revealed that this problem could be overcome if self-driving test vehicles were easier to identify. In fact, 62% said they would feel safer if such vehicles were clearly marked. Meanwhile, 60% said they want a dedicated lane for self-driving cars. The AAA also recognizes that regulators should establish signs to make such vehicles easier to identify. Solutions have been put in place for self-driving cars to “integrate” into public transport

I felt like I was fatherless because of what we call American exceptionalism. He is still alive, I must make it clear. But our relationship is really over. In this divided country, our situation is not uncommon. Anger over the election results last November seems to have cooled down, and homes and streets have begun to quieten again. However, the instability that former President Donald Trump sparked continues, as Americans choose sides in the longer war: “Who on Earth matters?”. Opposition between the two factions One faction thinks it is right to worry about others, who are different from them, and for those they need to protect. The other side also claims to be right in worrying about themselves, their like-minded people, and even those they see as needing protection. Exceptionalism is a deeply rooted belief in America. We Americans have always believed that we are better than others. God, the universe, the gods – all supernatural powers that bless humanity – have given Americans a special freedom. Even now, in the middle of summer 2021, we can decide whether we want to believe in the existence of a global pandemic, and if we want to participate in controlling the spread of the coronavirus. While many Americans have to endure starvation, poverty or experience fear and loss because of the Covid-19 pandemic; On the contrary, millions of other Americans still believe that tragedy will never come. Those experiencing the pain of Covid-19, or those who have witnessed others go hungry or lose friends and family forever, believe that we are all in a very difficult situation. We’re just fine until everyone else is safe. Often, the only difference between these groups of people is the news channel they watch, and how that channel covers science or conspiracy theories. In a chaotic world where hundreds of millions of people are begging for a vaccine, this country is throwing away thousands of doses a day because Americans – in so many places – refuse to get vaccinated before the vaccine expires. My father is one of them. Influence from news sources During the pandemic, while we were following the government’s lockdown and social distancing requirements, I didn’t get a chance to visit him. But now, I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again. I, you and everyone around will not be safe if you do not get vaccinated. I myself do not know how long he will hold out to witness this situation. My dad and I both spent a lot of time reading news during the pandemic, from different sources, of course. To be honest, I am proud to have opened up and changed my mind about SARS-CoV-2 and the threat to humanity since it was discovered. Every day, I try to stay up to date with the latest epidemiological information and public health recommendations. I’m the type of American who believes my sources are trustworthy. As a nurse, I believe I am knowledgeable enough to read published medical studies and draw my own conclusions. I’m on the side of science. On the contrary, my father is also very proud because he follows the news every night, reads and shares articles he finds online, and is careful with the advice he receives. He is the type of American who believes that Fox News is the only news channel that tells the truth, even if they are influenced by other news sources, by big corporations and the “bad guys” of the Democratic Party in power. in Washington, DC He was the kind of American who taught himself enough to understand what was going on in the world, to know who to believe. But he chose to believe the seemingly secret information his friends shared on Facebook about the conspiracy of scientists and the government. He read an article saying that hundreds of people died from vaccination, so now he claims to never vaccinate. Not one of his acquaintances has died from Covid-19. As a white middle-class man with a military pension and lifelong medical care for veterans, he never had to fear poverty, disease, loss, or disease. To him, the threat posed by the coronavirus is nothing more than the exaggeration of the press and propaganda apparatus. In a country house with a beautiful lawn and large backyard, is it wrong for you to hold fast to American exceptionalism, even if it causes your relationship with your son to fall apart? The son you believe he is the victim of corona virus conspiracies? Lots of other people don’t have the privilege of choosing like my dad. Millions of Americans are grieving the loss of someone they love, a job, and what we once called “normal”. They are fighting every day for their lives, while those around them angrily protest against the restrictions, even if it is to protect public health. Each person chooses to listen to a separate news channel, so the way they suffer is also very different. The influence of paranoid conspiracy theories My best friend, a wonderful couple, belongs to a group of Americans convinced that free public education is a tool of government propaganda and oppression. So they let the kids learn at home. When some people start to believe in paranoid conspiracy theories and let it affect children, it’s hard to tell them to give up their beliefs. There is a very small gap between homeschooling and believing in untested medical methods. It’s like believing in the magical qualities of crystals or some type of oil with herbal extracts that can heal diseases. And so, the road from believing in an untested cure to becoming an anti-vaccine is also very short. I wonder when those kind people are trapped in the trap of unscientific information and far from reality, do they ever question whether the news they receive every day can be trusted or not? Such is the situation of my friends. They are neither white nor financially stable, their jobs are difficult during the pandemic, and they know people who have lost loved ones to Covid-19. They do not have the privilege of sitting on the lawn mower in their front yard while waiting for the inconvenience of the blockade to end. They are forced to look for other sources of information and monitor the spread of the virus and listen to warnings about the disease. They surreptitiously and shamefully vaccinate themselves and their children. A discreet wife told me this secret. She also talks about how dozens of parents share supporting information and materials in homeschooling advocacy groups. They talk non-stop about the threat vaccines pose to children, echoing conspiracy theories about the dangers of masks and social distancing. She confided in me about the feeling of letting people down when she got vaccinated. American exceptionalism gives people the belief that they can avoid the difficulties others face. White and affluent parents believe they can “escape” the infection, but not everyone can. Definitely not my friends. When comparing two streams of information, what will they believe? Only fools believe in science without proof, and with the expectation that truth cannot be false. Science changes when new research is published. News channels are gaining a reputation for distinguishing between bad science and good science, and then they deliver news to readers who are increasingly confused about what is good and bad. Freedom goes too? “Why?” – some people may ask – “Can I believe what I hear, only to hear something completely different after a few months? Should I believe something dangerous is happening when no one I know is suffering?” It was my father, who read the news about the racist cases he had never heard of, and then deduced that the broadcaster would be full of lies to advance his own policy purposes. It was my friends who heard the online community say the truth was nothing compared to what their families went through. American pride is shaken when many cannot distinguish between science and conspiracy theory. And they are afraid. So I lost my dad to American exceptionalism. During the pandemic, I couldn’t see him. With an underlying medical condition, I am at high risk of death if I contract Covid-19. I could not speak to him without often ending in a heated argument. “Why doesn’t the other person come to his senses when he falls into conspiracies?” – Each of us asked ourselves the same. Why do some people believe that they are special, blessed by God, the universe, the gods? Just because something bad hasn’t happened, doesn’t mean it never will. We Americans are free to decide whether or not to believe in the existence of a global pandemic; as well as believing it affects all of us; Or do we participate in preventing deaths by simply getting two shots and wearing masks in public? We are free to decide who on Earth matters while expired, unopened vaccines are rejected across the country. I often wonder, do we have too much freedom?

In February 2020, an American architecture student named Caleb Brackney decided to buy a 1995 school bus for $3,000. The vehicle was later converted into a mobile home by Brackney at a cost of $7,000 to upgrade. Caleb Brackney spent the next six months designing and completing his new home by himself, including refurbishing the exterior, removing the old seats, reinforcing the floor and ceiling, and installing convenience equipment. benefits inside the car. Caleb Brackney started moving into his mobile home in August 2020. This mobile home is named The Roamer, after the town where the old bus was purchased. Most of the interior space of the bus is used as a living place with all the necessary facilities of a small house, the total area used is about 20 square meters. Right behind the driver’s seat is a cooking area with an oven, microwave, sink… The space between the car is used as a place to study and work with a wooden table next to the window. This is also where Brackney can play the piano and entertain. Taking up the most space is a resting place with a double bed, next to it is a sofa and TV. Supplying domestic electricity for mobile homes is a generator system, solar batteries and electricity storage batteries. The house’s clean water tank has a capacity of 190 liters, enough for Brackney to live for about 2 weeks. Most of the items and materials that make up The Roamer bus are recycled to protect the environment. Brackney plans to live in his mobile home for the next 2-3 years until he completes his master’s degree. Turn an old bus into a barber shop in Ho Chi Minh City with VND 400 million With the desire to move to many places so that he could cut everyone’s hair, Mr. Nguyen Hoai Thanh converted the bus into a mobile barber shop at a cost of nearly 400 million VND.

The young girl who made this miracle is named Kiah Twisselman, 25 years old, from California, USA. Previously, Kiah weighed more than 100 kg and she tried to lose weight for many years but to no avail. Kiah Twisselman used to have an oversized body before losing 59 kg The milestone that made Kiah realize she had to change her lifestyle and get serious about losing weight was when she started boarding a flight from Kentucky to Arizona more than a year ago. When she got on the plane, she realized that she was too big for the seat and had to ask the flight attendant to loosen her seat belt. At that time, Kiah realized that her body was so overweight that it was different from the rest. Not only that, when she saw that her loved ones were overweight and at high risk of diabetes and heart disease, Kiah was even more determined to change.

Wake up an hour earlier than usual, take that time for yourself Kiah said, there were weeks when she lost weight quickly, but there were also long periods of struggle where her body didn’t change. After finding out the reason, she discovered that this came from an unscientific and reasonable personal life. Kiah often stays up late to watch movies or work, which is also the reason why she quickly gets hungry and has a habit of eating at night. This girl decided to change by waking up an hour earlier than usual and taking that time for herself. Now, Kiah can exercise, cook a healthy breakfast, and read her favorite book. 2. Always make sure to exercise at least 30 minutes every day Weight loss is not always smooth “The common mistake many people make in weight loss comes from fasting or forcing themselves on a strict diet.” , Kiah shared. Instead of making the body become tired, lacking substance and lack of energy, we should ensure that the habit of exercise takes place regularly, at least 30 minutes a day. This not only helps to lose weight but also gives a supple, strong and disease-resistant body. 3. Give up all foods that are not beneficial for weight Undeniably, fast food, fried foods, confectionery and dairy have always had an irresistible attraction.

Mineral water has no calories, can quench thirst, reduce appetite, make Kiah eat less and thereby lose weight quickly. Besides, she also shared that her skin was more beautiful when drinking a lot of water every day. 5. Write down 10 things you are grateful for To have a beautiful body inside and out, we also need to have a relaxed mind. You should not be too obsessed and pressured about losing weight, because that mentality will inadvertently slow down the process of getting in shape. Kiah also shared that, after setting herself a moderate goal, she will write down 10 things that she is always grateful for, from which to look at to motivate herself, love herself and be more determined. Every time I get tired, Kiah reminds me that all obstacles are surmountable and so is weight loss. Looking back on 25 years of struggling with a heavy body, losing 59 kg in 12 months is like a miracle for Kiah “The most important part of the journey to health is the spirit, you should not hate yourself to lose weight, but lose weight because you love your health and body, don’t do it for anyone else.” Kiah said.

Located in New York, America’s famous Wall Street bull is a popular destination that millions of tourists visit each year. When coming here, many tourists pose and take pictures with the giant bronze bull located on Wall Street. This bronze bull is a symbol of Wall Street created by Italian-American painter and sculptor Arturo Di Modica. Mr. Modica left Italy for New York, USA to live in the 1970s. Here, he made a living by opening a sculpture studio on Grand Street (now in the SoHo area of ​​Manhattan). After seeing the US stock market crash in 1987, Mr. Modica came up with the idea of ​​creating a bronze bull to inspire people to get through tough times together. At the same time, through the bronze cow statue, Mr. Modica wants to praise the perseverance and patience of American businessmen. Mr. Modica chose the image of a bull to sculpt because it symbolizes a prosperous and strong market. Therefore, Mr. Modica spent 360,000 USD to mold and shape the bronze cow. After 2 years of hard work, he finished the bronze bull in October 1989. The copper bull that Mr. Modica created is “huge” in size when it is about 3.3m tall and weighs up to 35 tons. To surprise everyone, Mr. Modica and 3 friends used a truck to take the bull to Wall Street at midnight on December 15, 1989. They put it next to the Christmas tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The next morning, people were amazed and delighted to see the bronze bull in the middle of Wall Street. However, employees of the New York Stock Exchange were not very pleased with this special gift. So, the New York Stock Exchange contacted the police to have them take the bronze cow to another location on December 16. After learning that the bronze cow had been moved, many residents expressed their regret and petitioned the authorities to bring the cow back to the city center. Listening to the opinions of the people, the New York Department of Parks and Recreation decided to place Mr. Modica’s bronze bull on Broadway, north of Bowling Green and below the intersection on Morris Street. This location is about 2 blocks from the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, the bronze bull on Wall Street has become a famous symbol that many tourists come to when visiting New York.

Throughout the apartment space in Thao Dien ward (District 2) where his family lives, from the 4 walls to the ceiling, the window frames and the bedroom are decorated with a series of glass works made by himself. present. They are made entirely of pieces of mirrors and broken glass that are discarded on the street. Levitt see you Zing at noon, because this is a short time in the day when the sun shines directly on the glass “Baby” statue hanging on the first floor of the house and creates a beautiful light effect. Gabriel Meranze Levitt decorates his home with artwork made from recycled glass. “I started making glass items three years ago after meeting old friends in Mexico. During the day, they do their main job, at night they indulge in their own hobbies such as painting, music or making crafts. I was startled to realize that creativity is what I lack in life. Back in Vietnam, I accidentally saw many old glass panels being thrown on the street, so I came up with the idea of ​​​​making works with them,” Levitt shared. Love broken glass “Baby” is a glass work that Levitt inspired by his young daughter. It was a statue of a girl with curly hair dancing. The work weighs about 7 kg, is hung in the corner of the skylight, where the sunlight shines down. “Every time I see my daughter dancing and having fun, I always feel magical. She looks like an angel, full of energy and happiness. I recorded a video, looked closely at her image, and created a work that embodies that spirit. Last Tet holiday, after visiting my wife’s hometown in Tien Giang, I went to Saigon first and focused on finishing as a gift for my children. Levitt took 5 weeks to complete “Baby”. First, he shaped the core of the statue with construction foam, wrapped it with a layer of glass mesh to ensure its sturdiness and limit the shrinkage and expansion of the model when the temperature changed. Finally, glue the mirror pieces on the outermost layer. “Baby” was inspired by Levitt’s image of his lovely daughter. Levitt enjoys talking about the process of making his works. After picking up old glass panels at home, he started to come up with ideas and learn how to cut and grind glass into the desired shape. “I watch many videos on how to work with glasses, but never look for other people’s work. I think when watching and then imitating someone’s work is copying their work, I don’t like that. To this day, I still don’t know if anyone in the world has done the same work as I am doing.” Levitt’s art products sometimes come from improvisation, some come from his concerns about cultural and social issues. The work is called “Storm of Change” inspired by the fight against acute racism in the US. After 3 months, he completed the model and hung it on the ceiling, right in front of the house. The work weighs 15 kg, consists of a cloud (size of 100x50x40 cm) with 3,000 pieces of small square mirrors – symbolizing America as a unified mass – and 130 different colored rain drops, representing the racial diversity, such as whites, blacks, and yellows. Levitt’s latest creation is a table lamp placed in the bedroom. When the lights are turned on, the light reflects through the polished pieces of glass creating an impressive visual effect. The lamp has a height of 106 cm and a weight of 20 kg. Artwork from broken glass of American man. Private world on the rooftop Before moving to Ho Chi Minh City, Levitt lived and worked for an NGO for 3 years in Hanoi for 3 years. In the last year of the project, he met his wife and after only 3 weeks decided to follow her and move to the South. “At first, we just thought about moving here to see if there was an opportunity to stay together for a long time, and also for me to look for something new after my project ended. The love is growing, we now have a little princess. We run a social enterprise together and look for NGO programs to help people in need.” Levitt often spends the evening making products. Recycled glass items have helped him find joy in life, promote creativity and implement many good ideas. The top floor of the house is the “private world” of the American man. The narrow space was lined with collage tools and hundreds of pieces of broken mirrors and glass of all shapes and colors that he had collected over the years. “On the way to work, if I see a piece of glass left behind, I will notice it and come back to bring it home after work. I can’t always find a glass that fits what I want, so I just bring it back and wait until I need it to take it out. I like the patterns and lines of the glass edges after being polished, the light coming on makes them look even more beautiful.” Although it is just a personal hobby, Levitt is always serious and devoted when creating his works. After coming up with an idea for the product, every night after her daughter was asleep, Levitt usually spent about 2 hours working on it. During the day, he has to deal with work, train personnel, at night is when he has absolute focus to do his work. “Not long ago, I had about a week of running out of ideas. Tried so much but couldn’t think of what to do next, I spent some time sitting at a coffee shop thinking and finally coming up with a new idea. For me, making recycled glass is just a personal hobby, but I still need to be serious when pursuing it,” Levitt expressed.

However, the female financial expert in the city of Boston (Massachusetts, USA) still retains the tight belt genes. Body-shaping clothing became a post-Covid-19 craze in the US. Photo: Spanx. As the country gradually returns to a new normal, with weddings and face-to-face meetings happening more often, Angela thinks her waist belt collection will grow even more. “I have to admit that I’m pretty excited about wearing the gene, tightening the fat and looking slim again,” she told The Washington Post. Body-shaping accessories, which fell in sales during the pandemic, have skyrocketed again as Americans are looking for ways to get back in shape before the time of staying at home to avoid Covid-19. Shapermint, the online retailer that accounts for nearly 20 percent of U.S. bodybuilding clothing sales, said its revenue doubled from the previous month. Skims, Kim Kardashian’s corset brand, also sold more than 4 million products. It soon grew into a $1.6 billion brand and put the TV star on Forbes’ billionaires list. Spanx, the most successful accessory brand in the corset industry, is seeing a spike in sales, especially with its OnCore super-contour line. Compared to the corsets of the past, today’s waist belts are more comfortable with wide elastic, but still basically have the same purpose: to “edit” women to fit their criteria society and fashion standards. Kim Kardashian’s Skims are valued at more than $1.6 billion. Photo: Skims. Candyce Lindsay (59 years old), an auditor in Tempe (Arizona, USA), wore a waist belt during the pandemic. She has been fascinated with this accessory since giving birth nearly 30 years ago. Her wardrobe contains all styles and brands of waist belts: from cheap ones at Walmart to branded ones at Nordstorm. “I still have to answer a lot of video calls while working from home and I want to look my best, that’s all,” she explains. Post-Covid-19 customers still prioritize comfort, but they also want to create the “illusion” of slimmer waists, firmer buttocks and flatter stomachs, according to Sara Blakely, the company’s founder and chief executive officer. Spanx. This change in shopping was also quickly discussed on television. Jimmy Fallon, producer and host of The Late Night Show, quipped that: “The decrease in pajamas sales, and the increase in waist belts is proof that the number of people getting the Covid-19 vaccine is increasing. much”. After Covid-19, Americans still prioritize comfort, but they also want to create the “illusion” of a slimmer waist, toned buttocks and flatter belly. Photo: Honeylove. Jens Grede, the co-founder of Skims, said sales of the company’s body-contouring clothing have been on the rise since February. Even last month, when the brand opened its first branch in Los Angeles (USA), they sold 12,000 units in the first week alone, or about 3 pieces per minute. Roy Thomas (22 years old), a male singer-songwriter in Murrieta (California, USA), bought his first waist belt before the pandemic appeared to go to a nightclub with friends. A few months later, he bought a second one and started wearing it everywhere, from work, out to lunch, to the market. “I use it almost every time I leave the house. Now that the world is starting to reopen, I want to invest in more belts,” he shared.

Initially, most publishers were not interested in Kim’s idea, but that changed when cooking shows featuring many famous chefs and children became popular on television. . A woman who is passionate about food and writes children’s books Thanks to her two daughters, Kim Zachman was inspired and spent a lot of time preparing familiar dishes in the United States such as peanut butter and fruit jam sandwiches, crispy fried chicken, and hot sauce. dog or pizza. She also has a special love for children’s books. In addition to writing articles for newspapers and magazines, Kim Zachman is not afraid to try her hand at writing books for young readers. Book There’s No Ham in Hamburgers: Facts and Folklore About Our Favorite Foods (roughly translated: There’s no “cold meat” in hamburgers: Facts and Anecdotes of Popular Dishes) is her most recently published publication. Sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs or pizzas are favorites among Americans. Photo: AP Images. Kim Zachman shared that composing for a young age was a challenge. The author must learn how to express words in a way that is easy to understand, using simple, short and close sentences. “It’s a constant learning process,” she said. Most publishers were not in favor of the idea of ​​writing books about the history of American foods. But “now, the times are different, and children are interested in food”, she confidently asserts. Interesting things about American dishes you may not know Kim Zachman shared that she was excited to learn about the foods that people love. Each story includes many aspects of history, interesting facts, nutrients in food and even instructions or recipes. For example, you need about 128g with each serving of peanut butter and sugar, add an egg to get the perfect cookie. Divide the mixture into small portions on the cake tray, press the dough ball with a fork to flatten, and finally bake at 176 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. The story of the first deep-fried boneless chicken (bread crumbs), also known as nugget, is also loved by the female author. The dish has been sold at McDonald’s worldwide since the early 1980s. Anyone who watches American television probably knows kids love peanut butter and jam spread between two slices of sandwich bread. In fact, the dish has a starting point that has little to do with the little ones. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches began to accompany American soldiers during World War I and became popular in the military throughout the 1940s. When soldiers returned from World War II, they started making sandwiches. peanut butter and jam for my kids. Children in America love to eat peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Photo: Pinterest. Today, there are many brands of peanut butter available everywhere. But Mrs. Kim Zachman learned that, in 1910, in Kansas alone (USA) there were 21 different brands of peanut butter. The intersection of American cuisine Some American foods are actually versions of dishes brought by immigrants. For example, hamburgers originated in Germany, but this dish only started to become popular when an American came up with the idea of ​​​​cracking ingredients into a bagel. Speaking of another dish that is also round, pizza has been the food of the poor in Italy for hundreds of years. In 1905, Gennaro Lombardi, an Italian immigrant, opened the first pizza shop in New York City (USA). Now, New York-style pizza is famous all over the world. Pepperoni (dry sausage) is not something that is added to the traditional Italian pizza. It’s an American creation, stemming from German immigrants wanting a spicy hot dog. Kim Zachman said the influx of immigrants has contributed to American food culture in many ways. “When immigrants came to the US, not all of them were able to find work. So they started a food business with small mobile food vending machines,” she added. Hamburger is one of the foods that many people argue about the origin. Photo: There’s No Ham in Hamburgers. Not every story in author Kim Zachman’s books is true, some have been passed down by word of mouth for generations and remain untested. However, it can be said that the more interesting the stories that revolve around, the more likely it is to be accurate. The book of the American “pen” has 10 parts. She said she cherished writing about more foods. Donuts, tacos, cheese and macaroni (short, straight or curved tube noodles, often called nui by Vietnamese) will probably be included in her food book later. And one thing is for sure, the work is also for children. Make cheese-soaked pizza with pan at home To make delicious pizza does not need to be too fussy. You can learn the following simple recipe and make it at home.

The house is located in a new resettlement area in Nha Trang, a coastal city with white sand and clear water. Nha Trang is also famous for its fisheries that are part of the post-tourism economy. However, it is facing problems such as loss of traditional occupations due to rapid urbanization. On the contrary, the building chooses a different way to address the challenges and orients the house in a socially responsible way. Accordingly, the architect proposes to build a small house that optimizes basic functions to leave space for the front yard and backyard as a place for family members to operate according to traditional occupations. It also creates a play place for the little ones. In addition, the architects also proposed a façade with a flexible structure to avoid sunlight from the west and the user can open and close at will. The flexible facade consists of twelve modules with steel frames and wooden shutters. The peculiarity of a house facing the West is that the air is cool all day, by the West – South wind, one of the main winds of Nha Trang, except in the afternoon when the house is burned. The façade creates a space that brings users closer to a traditional Vietnamese house with iconic porches and moldings. Limited budget is also a concern with the final cost of about $35,000 (about 800 million VND). Therefore, two solutions to reduce costs are using recycled materials and lending space. As for the finishing, the architect used raw materials without finishing layers, making the house more rustic and intimate. In addition, wood panels from the old house are reused to create furniture such as the kitchen, sofa, table and steps of the stairs. The solution for a small house is to lend the space instead of dividing the house into small spaces. As a result, construction costs are significantly reduced.

The model above is called mom jeans, once associated with the convenience and comfort sought by middle-aged women, now very popular with Gen Z (those born between 1996 and 2010). Washington Post . “The pants fit anyone who wears them. They are very comfortable and cover the belly. You can combine it with a crop top and still look decent,” said Aymee Batra, a senior living in upstate New York. Wide leg mom jeans are favored by Gen Z because of their comfort and ease of coordination. Photo: Pinterest. Every time is different In 2006, journalist Jill Hudson Neal wrote on Washington Post : “Mom jeans are not flattering at all. Although designed to highlight a woman’s full figure, the truth is that it only makes the buttocks, thighs, hips bigger. The opposition of Millennials (born from 1981 to 1995) to mom jeans is reflected in the opposite design: tight jeans that fit to “pull” the legs and show off their pretty shoes. But now only women who have passed their heyday wear such pants. “I felt stupid when I wore skinny jeans before,” said Batra, 21. Although it is normal for women’s clothing to change fashion, the rise of mom jeans has caused many Millennials to react strongly. At retail chain Etsy, the “Side part and skinny jeans FOREVER” shirt is on sale. Many articles on the site Buzzfeed affirming the permanence of Millennials’ fashion style and refuting Gen Z’s dressing style. Why such a backlash? Is this just about a pair of pants? Skinny jeans are popular with Millennials. Photo: Lovin.ie. Fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen says the intergenerational rivalry stems from different needs for control and stability. The popularity of ’90s jeans and tie-down shirts, crop tops, and puffy sleeves is a way to master and create Gen Z’s own. While skinny jeans won’t really be taken away, fashion houses may pay less and less attention to the needs of Millennials. Gen Z will be the main customer reach group. They are using that power to make skinny jeans obsolete, while mom jeans are increasingly trendy. The executives of youth fashion label Forever 21 were surprised when sales of mom jeans suddenly skyrocketed at the beginning of the year. CEO Daniel Kulle says other ’90s favorites, including flared and embroidered jeans, are also making a comeback. Generational or individual issues? Fashion is trend, but style is personal. So, not everyone in Generation Z likes wide-leg jeans. Emma Delattre (19 years old, Connecticut, USA) shared: “I will never wear mom jeans. They make me look like a rectangular block.” Generational conflict is not a good lens for observing the changing fashion trends. Associate professor of psychology David Costanza at George Washington University (USA) said the difference between Millennials and Generation Z is not real. “What we see is simply how things change over time, but many researchers attribute those differences to a generational character,” he said. Millennials are looking to wide-leg jeans, even if it’s simply a personal choice. Emily Teague (29 years old) is ready to give loose jeans a chance. The result wasn’t so positive: the pants accentuated areas she didn’t want to accentuate. “I don’t feel confident at all. The pants make me feel like an old lady trying to be stylish,” she said sadly. “I remember when skinny jeans first became popular, I thought they were ridiculous,” says Bethany Harbison (31 years old, California, USA). Now she’s transitioning to mom jeans, though still hesitant. “They’re not cute, but they’re very comfortable,” she said. Haribson in comfortable loose-fitting mom jeans. Photo: Washington Post. What if Millennials actually took Gen Z’s advice and started wearing mom jeans? Will there be peace among the younger generations? According to Batra, having Millenials follow this trend will make it less cool. “Mom jeans are really going to be the pants for moms,” she says.

Endless love for black dresses Little Black Dress (LBD) has the shape of an evening dress, a simple cut and quite short. Its origins can be traced back to the designs made by Coco Chanel in the 1920s. Small black skirts are versatile, lasting with the evolution of fashion. Aimee Adams bought thousands of black dresses over the years. Photo: Jonas O’Sullivan. Small black dresses are usually affordable, easy to buy. It was so popular that it was simply called “LBD”. At the end of the 19th century, small black dresses became a symbol of elegance and nobility. Aimee Adams used to come to London (UK) for a holiday at the age of 15. At that time, she was inspired by the Goth culture that was very popular in the 1980s. This woman quickly became attracted to the color black. Adams said: “I started wearing black from then on. There was a ‘sea of ​​people’ wearing black on Kings Road in Chelsea, London, England. Black is very classy and timeless. It makes you look slimmer. Whether you’re 15 or 99, you can wear a little black dress and still look elegant.” After returning to America, Aimee Adams changed to gothic style. She wears black clothes and wears black lipstick. “Everybody told me what happened to you,” Adams recalls. In 1985, Adams’ mother sent her to an all-girls college in Columbia, Missouri (USA) to study fashion design. Everyone on the street was surprised, feeling strange when they saw her in black. At the time, no one looked like Adams. The local newspaper also ran an article about her unique style. Despite winning a scholarship to London Fashion College (UK), Aimee Adams still chose another major. “I changed to major in makeup and makeup in the film industry. That’s how I became a makeup artist.” Charming with fashion and black Adams has a great love for black. She even wore an LBD at her wedding in 1990. The makeup artist shared: “I don’t dream of Disney style or big white wedding dress. It’s not my dream. Black represents me, belongs to me. I don’t want to be someone else. on his wedding day.” Aimee Adams owns several designs produced in limited quantities by Balenciaga, Dior, Mary Quant and Valentino. All of her dresses are black, but each one has details that make them different and unique. “I can’t count how many LBDs I own, maybe 3,000 or more,” Adams said. In the collection of Aimee Adams, there are several designs from famous fashion houses such as Balenciaga, Dior, Valentino. Photo: Jonas O’Sullivan. After having so many dresses, Adams had no place to store his clothes in the house. So she rents out storage space for £200 a month. This woman has spent thousands of pounds storing clothes over the years. Aimee Adams said: “My inventory is full of clothes. I also resell. I want my clothes to find a good home.” She was so passionate about black dresses that she spent a lot of time looking for her favorite model. During the business trip, after finishing work, everyone went to dinner. Adams alone sat in the car, surfing the e-commerce site to order dresses. The female makeup artist also buys dresses at vintage stores. She also visited Portobello Market in Notting Hill, West London (England) to hunt for her favorite black dress.

Monarch’s electric plow. Photo: CNN CNN channel (USA) said that the plow was programmed to perform the tasks of digging trenches and reaping and harvesting. Manufacturer Monarch says this electric plow can work for 10 consecutive hours after 5 hours of charging. Although there is no operator, but based on US regulations, the plow is designed to be operated remotely. Thus, the operator can remotely command the plow to stop working when necessary. The plow is also equipped with sensors to avoid collisions with livestock and works automatically next to farmers. Monarch claims that when these electric plows come to market, they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year, equivalent to the emissions of 14 gasoline-powered cars. In addition, this electric plow has the ability to collect data during operation, helping to provide information about crops and support for farmers to promptly handle arising problems such as lack of irrigation water. … Below is a video simulating the operation of the plow published by Monarch: Monarch expects to sell the first plow in the next two months to farmers in California, Washington and Oregon for an expected price of $50,000. These farmers will work with Monarch to perfect the electric device. Monarch expects to mass produce electric plows by the end of this year. According to Monarch, the electric plow can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in fuel and labor.

Russian submarine of the Lada class. (Source: Sputnik) According to the author, the Lada submarine’s hull is teardrop-shaped, aerodynamically, this helps to avoid turbulence and makes almost no noise. Hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells that generate electricity for the propellers also play an important role in enhancing the submarine’s noise-cancelling properties. Although there is a diesel generator, but like other diesel electric submarines, in the Lada class, electricity is also generated through a chemical reaction, which helps to reduce engine noise. Currently, Russia is building two types of diesel-electric submarines, class 636.3 (Varshavyanka) and class 677 (Lada). The Varshavyanka class was created on the basis of the 877 Paltus class of the former Soviet Union. The Black Sea Fleet has already received six of these ships, and by 2024, a batch of six submarines will be delivered to the Pacific Fleet. Earlier, General Director of Admiralteyskie Verf shipyard Alexander Buzakov said that the first two mass-produced diesel electric submarines of the fourth generation of the 677 Lada class will be equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles. The Kronstadt and Velikie Luki submarines, the second and third of the project 677, are scheduled to be delivered to the Russian Navy next year. The Saint Petersburg submarine – armed only with mines and mines, joined the Russian fleet in 2010. (according to The National Interest)

Located on a 5x20m plot of land in a new urban area in Binh Tan district (HCMC), Connect House is the home of a young family of 3. When designing the house, the architect wanted to create a space that helps the people living in it feel comfortable and easily interact with each other. Therefore, the house minimizes the construction of walls. Instead of a system of glass walls, curtains… so that from the space of interference, the wife or husband can easily see what the other half and their children are doing. The skylight with green trees connects people with nature. The house consists of 3 bedrooms, all bedrooms have two windows, placed on opposite sides of the wall for easy air circulation. The ground floor is the space to arrange the common living areas, including the garage, children’s play area, kitchen combined with dining room. Stairs are also a space to help people feel relaxed like walking. Working corner overlooking the green space. The second floor is a children’s bedroom and a guest bedroom. Like many other tube houses, the 3rd floor of Connect House is used to arrange a laundry area, a small relaxation room and a terrace.

Hot topics attracting thousands of comments include: “Wrinkles 18 years old”, “What should I do to prevent premature aging”, “Can 16 years old inject botox?”, “Right now my face is like that. Hey, does it look horrible to be 30 years old? ”. On TikTok, Instagram, teens share their fear of wrinkles by overusing expensive skin care products and treatments. “I am 15 years old and have used retinol, vitamin C and a guasha massage tool because I am too afraid of aging” – an influencer shared in the video attracted 16,000 views. Anjali Mahto, a consultant dermatologist at Harley Street, London – Anjali Mahto – says she is starting to worry as more and more teenagers turn to anti-aging treatments such as botox injections: “Young people believe that botox is The best solution to fight wrinkles. Actually not. Botox is only effective for 3-4 months and do you know what happens when you always depend on it? “. Before the outbreak of COVID-19, 18-year-old Zac Mathias from Connecticut went to the spa every week for laser rejuvenation, needle roller or light therapy. Of course, Zac Mathias isn’t the only one obsessed with aging. 15-year-old Kennedy Hack-Juman was obsessed with thinking that when he grows his skin will get wrinkles. “I just don’t like wrinkles so I’ll try to stop it by all means” – Kennedy said. She learns beauty methods through social media, and invisibly increases Kennedy’s illusion and pressure on perfection. Before buying a product, she will carefully read each ingredient and then go to sales sites to see user reviews. She especially loves products for the skin on her hands, neck and eyes because these are the places that are most susceptible to aging. According to a 2012 survey by market research company NPD Group, 20% of American women 18-24 consider anti-aging skin is a very important thing. In 2018, several studies analyzed by The Benchmarking Company found that more than 50% of 18-24 year old women want to buy anti wrinkle products. Charlotte Palermino – an influencer famous for skin care videos, commented: “Social media creates paranoia. Before, I wasn’t until my late 20s when I thought about anti-aging. And now.” Now people are worried about it at 18-19 “. In fact, the topic of premature aging is being greatly hyped by social media. Taking advantage of GenZ’s aging fear, many beauty product companies have continuously launched anti-aging creams with the promise of ‘on the cloud’. “Now, it’s not just the elderly customers who are interested in anti-aging products. Young customers are also investing a lot of money on these products” – Clare Varga, head of beauty products at WGSN global trend forecasting agency. Robert Pogue Harrison, professor of literature at Stanford University and author of ‘Juvesence: A Cultural History of our Age’, believes selling anti-wrinkle products to teenagers is just a business strategy. . “Young people are a very lucrative market for consumerism, because young people, especially very young people, are susceptible to being dominated by their desires” – Mr. Harrison said. The anti-aging market is expected to generate more than $ 88 billion in global revenue by 2026. Clinical psychologist John Duffy thinks it’s sad that young girls believe they will be ugly as they get older. “Instagram, TikTok and other social media are making people think that beauty must go hand in hand with youthfulness. They want to avoid old face at all costs” – Mr. Duffy said.

Wild mustangs in the US are of Spanish origin. According to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), mustangs are not wild horses because they come from a domesticated population, and therefore, wild mustangs are considered wild. They can be found freely throughout the western United States but are kept and ridden by humans like other horses. According to Horse Canada, a government-run horse website, the Mustang has a muscular body and hard hooves, which makes them suitable for scouting and horseback riding. Equus horses, evolved in North America about 4 million years ago, before spreading to the rest of the world. The last real American wild horses died about 10,000 years ago, possibly due to climate change and human interactions. Characteristics of Mustang Mustangs, like other horses, are usually measured by hand, typically 14 to 15 arm span tall. This is equivalent to 56 inches to 60 inches (140 to 150 cm). They weigh about 360 kg. Mustangs can be available in a variety of colors. Usually, they are reddish brown, or sorrel, chestnut in color. They can also have multiple patches, spots, and stripes. Mustang lives in the grasslands of the western United States and mainly feeds on grasses and palms. The US Land Administration oversees “wild” horse and burro populations, and allows them to run freely on 10.9 million hectares of public land. The range is divided into 10 herd management zones: Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana-Dakotas, New Mexico, Oregon-Washington, Utah and Wyoming. According to Smithsonian Magazine, wild horses also live on the Atlantic coast and on islands such as the Sable Islands, Shackleford and Assateague. Mustangs live in herds. According to the Humane Society, a herd consists of a stallion and about eight females and calves, although separate herds have been known to mix when they are in danger. Each herd is led by a mare or mare and a stallion over 6 years old. In dangerous situations, the dominant mare will lead the herd to a safe place, the stallion staying to fight. Like other mammals, the mare is 11 months pregnant and usually born in April, May or early June. This gives foals time to grow before the cold months of the year. Horses typically live for 25 to 30 years in captivity, although some live up to the age of 40. Horses that live in the wild, like wild populations in public lands in the western United States, generally have a shorter lifespan, although they have been reported to live up to 36 years. There are many types of mustangs? Horses originally introduced by the Spanish into North America bred with other domestic horses for many years and, therefore, Mustangs are often a mix of several different breeds. These breeds include draft horses and purebred horses. Mustangs bred between different populations and some more closely resembled their Hispanic ancestors than others. For example, Oregon Kiger mustangs live in small, isolated herds and their bloodline is largely derived from early Spanish horses. Mustangs are known for their wild nature, but they can be domesticated and rode like other horses. However, this process will take longer if they are obtained directly from the wild – rather than in captivity – and they are not used to being handled by villagers. The number of mustangs declined dramatically in the 20th century due to horses being killed and captured for a variety of reasons, including for human and dog food. America in 1900; According to AMNH, by 1971, the number of mustangs had decreased to 17,300. The Mustang was later secured on public lands, along with burros. The US Congress declared the mustang “a living symbol of the historic spirit and pioneer of the West.” This Act also allows them to be regulated and controlled. The US Land Administration controls mustang and burro counts on public lands. The process is controversial and several wildlife protection groups. Without human intervention, mustang populations can rapidly increase because not many predators, such as wolves, can naturally control them, according to AMNH.

The shortage of semiconductor chips globally has a heavy impact on many industries. Artwork: Reuters Some of the world’s top semiconductor buyers, including Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp and Alphabet Inc (Google’s parent company), are working with leading chip makers in the world, such as Intel Corp. , to set up a new lobbying group to promote the US Government to support semiconductor chip manufacturing. The Semiconductors in America Alliance, which includes Amazon Web Services’s Amazon Web Services division, said on May 11 that it urged US lawmakers to provide support for the CHIPS Act for the country. The United States (CHIPS for America Act), which President Joe Biden asked Congress to provide finances worth $ 50 billion. In a letter to congressional bicameral Democrats and Republicans, the coalition said funding for the CHIPS Act would help the United States build the necessary capacity for a more flexible supply chain. to ensure important technologies will be available in the US when needed. Global semiconductor chip shortages hit the auto industry heavily, with Ford Motor Co saying it may have to halve its car production in the second quarter. Automotive industry groups are pressing the Biden administration to secure chip supplies for car factories. However, government officials have been reluctant to use national security laws to divert the supply of computer chips to automakers because they fear it could harm other industries. The new alliance involves companies from other industries using semiconductors, including AT&T, Cisco Systems, General Electric, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Verizon Communications Inc. However, they warn that the government only supports one industry like the automobile industry. Tech giants, like Apple, are also hit hard by a shortage of semiconductors, but are less severe than automakers. Last month, the iPhone maker said it would lose about $ 3-4 billion in revenue in the second quarter (ending June 2021) due to a shortage of chips. According to Refinitiv estimates, Apple’s second quarter revenue is forecast to reach $ 72.9 billion./.

Located on the riverbank of Cam Thanh commune in Hoi An (Quang Nam), the house is owned by Ms. Giang – an environmental expert. She conceived of the house as a space mixed with greenery. According to the group of architects, this house is not only a place to go home for a family of four, but it is also home to birds, spiders, or insects in the foliage. This is a small community center where homeowners work with their own environmental group and meet neighbors to build community relationships. Therefore, the architect creates an organization that has overlap in occupying space. The house in view of the architect is a traditional inn in Hoi An ancient town but rolled up like a shell. Houses are also built with these local materials at a very affordable cost. The spaces on the ground floor of the house are first raised together with a large garden and then spread out into the garden. Functional groups put in a garden rather than a garden set in a house. In the dining room, for example, the floor is both the floor but also a large bench placed in the garden where people work in groups or chat. With a prefabricated steel building structure leaning against thick walls on the ground floor, exposed structures of the house can be seen. Internally, human activities are encouraged to take place in different situations, creating different spatial boundaries. Thanks to that, the space shape changes, promoting the activities of people and neighbors to create a complete home.

“She texted me: ‘I have a craving for sugar cane juice from home. Remember when I go home, my father often drives my children to a familiar shop. Sugar cane just sprouted, put up and turned, squeezed water to drink immediately. Pure, sweet but strangely fragrant. This afternoon, the mother sneaked her mother driving for 45 minutes to find childhood drinks. Also freshly pressed sugar cane juice, but why is it not as delicious as at home, Dad … “, Mr. Vien said. For the next several months, Sophie kept sending documents about new American beverage trends – fresh, full-bodied juices, prebiotics, minerals, vitamins, probiotics and keeping the same color and odor, taste. From the suggestion of his son and his love for his child, Mr. Vien embarked on researching technology to freeze drying sugarcane juice. The new path is quite arduous, especially when he is a pioneer. He has to solve the double problem with many requirements, from visual form, color and taste, to invisible elements such as bacteria, microorganisms … which can only be seen in the laboratory. At that time, every day he had to talk to many groups, from biology, biomedical, nutritional experts to equipment specialists, technology, laboratory and experiment experts… In mid-2018, Mr. Vien and his associates successfully created powdered sugar cane juice, coffee powder, vegetable powder … with sublimation drying technology created by Vinamit equipment. Mr. Vien immediately applied to the US and Vietnam for patents for equipment – technology and “enclosure” for 500 products of fruits, vegetables, fruits … created from this technology platform. In addition to having to prove that at the time of filing Vinamit is the only entity that owns the technology, Mr. Vien also has to point out a series of novelty of the product, which is to keep the natural taste, fresh with vitamin content. , minerals and beneficial bacteria that give life to the gut. The pure freshly pressed sugar cane juice will be put into the freeze dryer by Vinamit and turned into a powder, keeping its color and taste intact. After more than 3 years of waiting, with the technology of converting from liquid to powder but still original and simple, Mr. Nguyen Lam Vien was granted a US patent (No. US 10,676,797 B1, issued on June 9. / 2020). He said it was a pleasure to be able to tell him in his nightly sleep: “ Daughter, Dad made the original cane juice as you wanted. Also from that recipe, the three processed organic soymilk and cereal milk to feed their grandchildren, nutritious and delicious … “. Over the past two months, Mr. Nguyen Lam Vien – Chairman of Vinamit’s Board of Directors cum General Director – has continuously received US technology patents for a series of lyophilized beverages from domestic vegetables and fruits. Then, he submitted his license to do procedures with the National Office of Intellectual Property of Vietnam. Starting with sugarcane juice, Chairman Vien shared that up to now, he has continued to process successfully and will bring to the market the original freeze-dried products of other fruits and vegetables. As a farmer, he wants to contribute to the country’s agriculture with his creativity and methodical steps in the world market competition as a scientific enterprise applying new technology.

There is only one problem: They are not the owner of the 1,500 square meter villa and are not allowed to use it by the owner. This villa has everything on site: a bowling alley, swimming pool with waterfall, hot tub, tennis court, bar 240 meters long. The marriage of him and his girlfriend here is “God’s plan,” said Wilson. But the truth is that Nathan Finkel – the owner of the villa has never allowed the couple to hold a wedding at their home. Nathan was stunned when Wilson showed up on Saturday morning to set things up, so he called the police. The villa the couple plans to have their wedding ceremony “Someone has trespassed on my property,” Nathan informed the 911 dispatcher. And they kept harassing me, calling me. They said they were going to have a wedding here and that was God’s will. I don’t know what’s going on. All I want is for it to stop. Now, they are sitting on my property, right in front of the gate. Later, two police officers told Wilson that he had to get out of here. Wilson obeyed and no charges were filed. “I don’t want to talk about it anymore,” said Wilson when asked. It is known that Nathan – the owner of the villa – is trying to sell this real estate for the past 2 years for more than 5 million USD. Before that, Wilson was said to be a potential buyer. He visited the mansion a few months ago. A few months later, the guy asked Nathan if he could have his wedding in the backyard, but Nathan refused. However, that refusal did not stop the couple. They kept calling Nathan to tell about their love story. As expected, after the wedding on Saturday afternoon will be a cocktail program on the red carpet and the reception lasts until midnight. The next day’s party will run from noon to 4 p.m. Wilson knew the mansion was vacant but did not know that Nathan was living in another house on the same estate. The groom was shocked as soon as he reached the gate when he met the owner of the house. Dang Duong (According to AP)

“The MiG-35 has completed the integration test and received a very positive response from the pilot. There are only a few minor defects that need correction before the MiG-35 officially joins. training and combat in the Russian Air Force, “said a representative of the manufacturer MiG. MiG-35 fighter. MiG-35 fighter (NATO designation Fulcrum-F) is designed to operate in all weather conditions. Can strike air, land and sea, whether it’s a static or dynamic target. Recently, the Russian manufacturer announced the development of a new profile MiG-35D. An impressive showcase version but it’s not really a new platform. Because they are only developed based on the prototype MiG-29KR from the Soviet era. “The name MiG-35 is essentially the Russian manufacturer’s clever intent to market to the market because the number 35 makes many people pay attention to the same power as the Su-35 – a product of the manufacturer Sukhoi or Lockheed Martin’s F-35. But apart from the number 35 with the above fighters, the MiG-35 hardly performed much in the Russian Air Force’s tests and exercises, although they were integrated with the most advanced technology. Now compared to fighters of the same generation, “wrote Peter Suciu. The manufacturer equips the MiG-35 with the Phazatron Zhuk active phase array radar, and the RD-33MK engine pair allows the aircraft to reach maximum speeds of up to Mach 2.5. In terms of weapons, this fighter jet is designed with 9 armaments under the belly to help it carry most types of bombs and weapons available in the Russian Air Force including: Kh-31A anti-ship missiles with active radar probes, Kh-31P anti-radar missiles, Kh-29TE missiles and TV KAB-500Kr guided bombs … In addition, the MiG-35 is also equipped with a gun. 30mm high speed cannon. Information about the MiG-35 program has been known since 2007, but due to slow development, it was not until 2013 that the Russian Air Force announced an order for a plane for testing and evaluation before official. buy 37 pcs. But after 3 years, the manufacturer produced 3 more units. Thus, on average, each year MiG produces 1 MiG-35 fighter. At the current production rate, US experts say it is unclear whether the Russian Air Force will continue to pursue the 37-aircraft deal as agreed or not. This is also the reason why Indian customers have expressed special interest in this fighter line for a long time, but no agreement has yet been signed with the MiG manufacturer. The situation also appears to some customers in Africa and Southeast Asia. “A line of fighters produced for the purpose of domestic and export equipment, but this goal is difficult to accomplish with the MiG-35. Until now, no Russian fighter has produced any quality product. So hiu “, the American expert wrote. However, the MiG-35 is still highly appreciated by the Russian manufacturer. MiG affirmed that, although it is only a 4 ++ generation fighter, the MiG-35 fully converges the leading advanced technologies of the world military aviation industry. MiG-35 is highly competitive with the world’s leading fighters such as the Rafale, Typhoon … because MiG-35 dominates in this race because they have many outstanding features. The MiG-35 is more maneuverable, has more arsenal and is cheaper. Their specifications, avionics, electronic warfare equipment and arsenal allow the MiG-35 to compete with any kind of potential foe. With these systems equipped, in theory, it is not unreasonable for the Russian manufacturer to see the MiG-35 as a rival to the F-35.

POM House is a small house located on a hillside in Son La province. Like the hill villages of Vietnam over the past decade, the economic development has led to the construction works, making the city more and more cramped. The hill is now a cake with many pieces cut and leveled for a “more convenient” city. When designing the house, the group of architects aims to develop urban and its impact on nature. So half of the land area is for construction and the rest is for natural elements. The eaves are built around the yard as a solid limit to protect the “land” from the impact of construction works. The courtyard is inspired by the patio of the traditional house for midday shade. The living space in the house is arranged quite simply, including a large common space, where all activities take place and is a space for family members to connect. The two side spaces of the house are designed to be smaller as private spaces for rest. Each space is connected to a shared garden but has its own vision for each space. The V-shaped roofs with the lowest point in the middle divide the house into residential and auxiliary spaces. The roof is designed to open to the outside and is carefully calculated to cleverly welcome natural light into the house in the late afternoon when the light intensity has decreased.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) alumni at that time had to consider choosing a stopover in their year-long project in Asia. With proficiency in both English and Mandarin, Jon finally decided to choose Singapore. Lion Island has many unique and interesting experience activities, but Jon has chosen for himself a very own way to explore the country and its people. And the cuisine is the answer to Jon’s unforgettable experiences in this island nation. The young man “collapses Singapore” Jon Lu and the chef of Odette restaurant. (Source: CNN) Up to now, the American has visited a total of 255 restaurants, including cafes and street vendors. Including 37 Michelin-starred restaurants. These figures are considered an impressive feat, especially in the period when the city’s restaurants have been closed for live dining for more than two months. Not to mention that Jon had to take a temporary break for a while because his health declined. When the city started to partially close the country – also known as Circuit Breaker – from April 7 to June 1, 2020, restaurants were forced to switch to a take-away form. ). But that didn’t stop Jon, who continued to extend his culinary experience by ordering takeout. Not once, but twice a day, during the first half of this difficult period. And most of all, these are not ordinary meals. Jon Lu has chosen to focus on the city’s many famous culinary landmarks, including the Michelin-starred honor restaurants – which usually take weeks, even months, to book a table. “It’s been a tough time for the F&B (food service) industry – I want to do as much as I can to help support local businesses,” Jon said. This special culinary journey is detailed by Jon Lu on his personal page [email protected] (Source: CNN) With endless opportunities to experience at Singapore’s top restaurants – a feat that even the culinary critics take a year or two to achieve, Jon becomes the expert at hand. tips on the best food destinations in Singapore. In his favorite Michelin star restaurant lineup is Odette with 3 Michelin stars by chef Julien Royer. Jon has experienced the meal here 4 times and are extremely satisfied. He highly appreciates contemporary French restaurants for “extremely delicate and technically excellent” dishes. In the Japanese restaurant category, Jon Lu chooses Sushi Kimura. Although this place only received 1 Michelin star, he still fondly visited twice. He shared that chef and owner Tomo-o Kimura gives diners “thicker” and “more exotic” fish pieces. These include sujiko (salmon roe), oki aji (white-tongue jackfish) and usubu hagi (unicorn fish). Not to mention Kimura’s shari (sushi rice), “sure but still surprisingly light,” and served at “perfect temperature”. When it comes to Singaporean cuisine, chef Han Li Guang’s Labyrinth restaurant caught Jon’s attention. It is famous for displaying enhanced versions of local dishes – like Signature Chilli Crab – that originated from Lion Island with mostly locally sourced ingredients. Jon Lu has a passion for culinary experience since he was an intern in Chicago, USA. (Source: CNN) Jon Lu’s most-visited site in Singapore is, surprisingly, a new two-year-old restaurant named Preludio that has yet to receive a Michelin star. Run by Colombian chef Fernando Arevalo, Preludio serves “writer’s cuisine” around an annual theme called “chapter”. Jon Lu himself “is an ordinary person who does not like to repeat dishes at high-end restaurants”, so the fact that he dine at Preludio nine times (in 2020) is “a testament to their creativity”. . Jon Lu shared that food and exploring places have been a hobby of him since 2015. At that time, he was just a student intern in downtown Chicago and in a multitude of culinary landmarks just a few steps from your office … Since then, Jon Lu has been to at least 300 different restaurants each year, starting with popular cafes and boutiques. This journey continues until he graduates in 2019 and there is no sign of stopping in the future. (According to CNN)

Located in a suburban residential area of ​​Hanoi, B House is the home owned by a concrete factory owner. The owner wants a cool space and garden view bedrooms but still ensures privacy and security. With this requirement, the group of architects used a simple yet powerful form of architectural design for the front garden. The nature of the house is open space, the boundary between the inside and the outside is gradually blurring to create the connection between people and nature. Light from outside is sucked from the roof through the glass windows into the green space inside. Around this void are long, wide staircases and corridors that connect functional spaces together. The front of the house is a system of pressed bamboo doors, which can be flexibly opened and closed. The bamboo door reduces direct sunlight from the east, and ensures privacy and security. With the homeowners’ love for concrete, the design team chooses the house finishing material, mainly concrete with a rough surface, chestnut-colored wood to make the space more cozy. Through the project, the design team wants to provide the optimal solution to improve living space, create a comfortable living environment, and focus on the quality of life.

Recently, an investment of over $ 200 million has been made to build a mine in the US. This trend is increasing rapidly in North America, according to CoinShares chief strategy officer Meltem Demirors. In March, the US state of Kentucky also passed two bills to reduce taxes for cryptocurrency miners, in order to attract more local workers. With capital released, the construction of a large-scale Bitcoin mining industry in North America has never been so explosive. What happened? China now accounts for 65% of the global Bitcoin mining size, compared with just 7.24% for the US. The exact number may not be the same according to reports from the US and China, but the fact is that the US is far behind on this front. China accounts for 65% of the total global Bitcoin mining capacity (source: Cambridge University) In the early days of cryptocurrencies, American miners were still wondering if their hashrate was paid when contributing to the mining pool. In many cases, miners are paid less than their efforts. Since Bitcoin uses proof of work (PoW), the hash rate becomes what determines what percentage of the miner’s effort is paid off. Proof-of-Work ̣ (PoW) is a consensus algorithm created in the blockchain network, used to validate transactions and produce new blocks in the chain. Meanwhile, hash rate is a measure of the algorithmic ability of a cryptocurrency miner like Bitcoin. Because bitcoin mining involves solving algorithms to confirm transactions, it requires powerful equipment to help find the required hash in the shortest amount of time. But China started to exploit very quickly thanks to cheap labor and electricity prices without having to worry too much about external problems. The country currently leads the world, accounting for about 30% of hydroelectricity and 50% of its coal-fired power generation capacity. The problem of the environment In North America, any act of harmful to the environment is put on the radar of the activists. When the virtual currency craze exploded, Bitcoin mining, which consumes electricity and emits greenhouse gases, quickly became the focus of criticism. Meanwhile, electricity consumption for Bitcoin mining in China will peak at 296.59 TWh by 2024, according to Nature Communications. This exceeds total energy consumption in 2016 by Italy and Saudi Arabia combined. In March, the Bank of America criticized the consumption of one Bitcoin at a price of $ 50,000 for carbon emissions equivalent to 270 tons, equivalent to the internal combustion engines of 60 cars. The PoW mechanism causes Bitcoin transactions to require miners to compete for an algorithm to validate the block on the chain. In return, they are rewarded with Bitcoins for completing difficult problems. So, machines like the ASIC are specifically designed to do this, and they consume tremendous amounts of power. This is actually a security enhancement of PoW, not a bug. If the answers called hashes are too easy to solve, the blockchain network is vulnerable to attack by hackers. However, using a lot of energy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A company called Crusoe Energy has developed technology to “capture” gas in the central atmosphere at oil wells and use it to power on-site data centers. The company deployed projects in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota and resulted in a 72% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to burning it. Bitcoin mining is essentially power consuming because it runs 24/7 and needs stable and constant energy sources. Another advantage of Bitcoin is that it uses energy in places far from residential, like mining mines located in remote areas in Xinjiang, China. The big problem today is that Bitcoin is still using fossil fuels and enrich these companies. Only 39% of total energy consumption comes from renewable sources such as wind, water, and solar, according to research from Cambridge University. But even if Bitcoin mining runs entirely on renewable energy, it will create increasing demand for ASICs and disrupt the global supply chain of semiconductors. The end result is a pile of electronic waste that no single green energy source can deal with. The problem could be under control if the industry’s focus was shifted from China to the US, where environmental activists play an active role in curbing energy consumption and carbon emissions. school. Security risks? Aside from the environment, another danger lies in Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism with more than half of the network hashes located in China. That makes it possible for China to control the protocol and reverse transactions. This is a disgrace to Americans when the Internet revolution was initiated in the country of chess, but in the age of cryptocurrencies, China is in control of the game. Cryptocurrency attacks, known as 51% attacks, target a weakness in PoW’s consensus mechanism when a group of people has more than 50% of their hash power. In such attacks, the attacker does not actually steal the virtual currency, but just spends twice the amount he has by executing two transactions simultaneously to two different wallets and defrauding the system. But any exchange with good liquidity can prevent such an attack by setting a withdrawal limit. In the future, the competition of semiconductor chip factories creating more 4.0 shovels is expected to help this industry have global coverage. The end of PoW? Will the PoW mechanism be out of date? After all, Ethereum is emerging with the second largest market cap, preparing to move to a Proof-of-Stake mechanism that significantly reduces energy consumption and speeds up transactions. This mechanism makes it possible for one person to mine or validate block transactions by depositing virtual money into the network. This deposit is locked and returned to its owner after a set period of time, to prevent fraud. Even so, PoW in the 12 years of its existence has demonstrated its ability to prevent any cyberattacks. Meanwhile, PoS still needs time to experiment. Ethereum’s PoS transition phase, which is known as ETH 2.0, was planned 2 years ago and is expected to begin rolling out next July. The new hub of Bitcoin? Neither the US nor China, other emerging countries could soon outperform both thanks to more renewable energy and cheaper operating costs like India. America is thriving, but the gold mines in China cannot disappear overnight unless there are special government regulations. Experts expect that China can drop to 40-50% of the total hash rate within the next three years, and then North America could account for 30%, 20% from Europe and the remaining 10%. scattered in other areas. The problem with the US is that the federal government does not interfere and needs its own policies in states to attract and retain blockchain companies, as is the case with the state of Zug in Switzerland, which is known as the Valley. virtual money of the world thanks to specific policies of the state government. A miner is cleaning the ASIC Several states like Kentucky, Texas, and US cities like Miami are slowly recognizing blockchain as the technology of the future, and experts expect North America to win 10% of the global hashrate next year. Even so, as Bitcoin continues to receive investment, environmental issues will continue to be a major hurdle preventing the explosion of mining pools in North America, said the Hashrate Index expert Ethan Vera. The power failure in Xinjiang on April 16 affected the mines there and indirectly caused Bitcoin to lose 21% of its value from the peak of $ 64,000, possibly the strongest warning to the United States. in the war of cryptocurrencies, the future of humanity.

Photo: VNA After a trip to Vietnam, Kara Williams, a former reporter, magazine editor and now a freelance writer, understood clearly why the Southeast Asian nation has become an attractive destination with foreigners, especially retired people like. This American writer talked about his trip to Vietnam and outlined 8 reasons that many foreigners fall in love with the S-shaped country as follows: My first visit to Vietnam last year was miraculous. From the moment my husband and I arrived at the Ho Chi Minh City airport, I was fascinated by the energy of this sweltering urban center, from late night bars to bustling outdoor bars as well as hundreds. the motorcycle stops every time the red light turns on, which requires great courage and fast speed to cross streets with heavy traffic. Then, in the coastal city of Hoi An, I was amazed at the well-preserved AQ and its centuries-old houses, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. We order exotic and delicious food from the night market stalls by pointing at the photo menu, walking the countryside by bike, learning about the rice fields and how to make rice paper, taking a taxi to the beach white sand sea …. This colorful country trip less than a week was too short for us. Before I left Vietnam, I vowed to come back here one day. I remember telling my husband, “You can spend a lot of time here”. I am not alone. With its rich culture, tropical weather, low living standards and many opportunities to visit in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is a popular destination for people to move here. Many retirees are also interested in Vietnam. In fact, Vietnam ranks 10th on International Living magazine’s list of the best places in the world to retire in 2021. Here are the reasons why people consider spending their retirement years in Vietnam. Living expenses International Living magazine points out that Vietnam’s exceptionally low cost of living is a major attraction. In the book In A Better Life for Half the Price (a better life at half the price), author Tim Leffel said, Vietnam is “one of the most valuable places in the world for tourists, especially for tourists. especially in terms of accommodation and food “. Hence, this is a place of great value for the people who live there. Leffel said, when referring to apartments anywhere in Vietnam, “you can find beautiful rooms with reasonable prices in the range of 300-800 USD / month”. Indeed, Neil Varden, CEO of CabinZero who moved from England to Ho Chi Minh City 3 years ago, also said that the cost of living here is very good. “Honestly, I can live like a king without spending a lot of money,” says Varden. Low prices make sightseeing, shopping, and dining in Vietnam more attractive. Immerse yourself in a crowded, affordable restaurant and pay only $ 1 for a cold beer, $ 2 for a sandwich – one of my all-time favorites. Which brings me to … Opportunities to travel Once Vietnam is where you live, going anywhere in Southeast Asia is easy. There is a wide range of flights on low-cost airlines so you can often travel to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos or Malaysia. Traveling in Vietnam is also quite simple, with flights between cities like Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hanoi, plus a system of buses, trains and even ships to the islands. favorably like Phu Quoc. Food Everywhere, not only Vietnamese food is extremely cheap, but also at restaurants. During my trip to Vietnam, we enjoyed all the typical dishes of Hoi An, from bread to white rose cake, tall. We also tried a variety of other dishes, including pho, spring rolls and Vietnamese pizza – which included meat, eggs, and vegetables on a rice paper roll, all folded to taste. Vietnamese black coffee is also great, though I haven’t tried egg coffee yet. I also couldn’t resist the baguettes and rolls of breakfast buffets. If you are a foodie, love to try new dishes and pay a little money, Vietnam will not disappoint you. Human I agree with Neil Varden’s view that Vietnamese people are very friendly. In fact, wherever we go, we meet smiling faces, people willing to help us. I found it to be really true at the hotel we stayed in in Hoi An, where gentle manners and hospitable nature are what the receptionists and restaurant staff always show off. My English speaking tour guide is knowledgeable and happy to answer all my questions about her life in Vietnam. Phil Minett, an Australian, came to Vietnam for a short vacation in March 2020 with the aim of seeing if this could be a place where he could settle permanently. After that, the border was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and a year later, Phil was still in Vietnam. While living in a very local 10-story building in Ho Chi Minh City, Phil said he saw the generosity and friendliness of the neighbors around him. Lots of places to live Da Nang seems to be a suitable place for many foreigners, with a series of cafes (with fixed internet), golden beaches, high-rise apartments and beautiful scenery because 3 sides have mountains. around. The south of Da Nang has two world-class golf courses, the further south is the colorful city of Hoi An – where it might be too crowded with some retired people. However, it’s still quite vibrant with many restaurants, cafes, close to many beaches and a slew of tailor-made shops – if tailoring at the right price makes you feel like it. Ho Chi Minh City is an attractive place if you like a historic urban center. The capital Hanoi is located in the north of Vietnam, not as warm as Ho Chi Minh City. Some smaller cities that foreigners can consider are Da Lat, Nha Trang, Vung Tau and Phu Quoc, International Living magazine writes. Weather Vietnam’s monsoon tropical weather also attracts many people, especially those who want to say goodbye to winter in North America. However, this weather is not for everyone. Temperatures in Vietnam can reach 37.7 degrees or more in some regions during the hottest months and humidity is present everywhere in the country. The seasonal climate changes depending on whether you are inland or coastal, north or south. Please see the website of Vietnam National Administration of Tourism for more information on weather. History and Culture From ancient temples and pagodas to 20th century war history, Vietnam offers plenty of fun for retirees who want to open their minds to exploring cultural and historical events. in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. There are countless opportunities to take part in cultural tours and classes to learn how to weave a sleeping rug from a dry reed or to trade in a floating market in the Mekong Delta. Museums detail Vietnam’s invaded history and you can even travel through the Cu Chi Tunnels, a hidden underground system. Of course, it is possible to experience the national culture by simply walking through a neighborhood, eating local food, watching families play in the park or watching a show at a local theater. Once again, Vietnam offers you many opportunities to do just that. Development future After retiring, Jefferson Saunders moved to Vietnam in 2016. Before that, Saunders had come to Vietnam many times. Like many others, though attracted by the friendliness of the Vietnamese and the cost of living here, this man is increasingly interested in watching the development between the old and the new. This emerging market has “higher education, better income, internet, more travel with serious investments pouring in”. The 70-year-old and married man said that Vietnam’s major cities now have many Western-style clinics and hospitals. In addition, there are many high-end hotels in the cities. The challenge of living in Vietnam Unlike some other countries, like Mexico, Vietnam does not have a “retirement visa”. So it is difficult for retired people who do not work in Vietnam to stay here for a long time. There are tourist visas that require you to leave Vietnam every 90 days, the rules depend on which country you are in. Then there is a visa category for foreigners working in Vietnamese companies, as well as investment visas for people working in Vietnam or investing in certain companies. “Applying for a visa is not easy because the rules are always changing,” said Neil Varden. Pollution is also an issue in cities in Vietnam, partly due to the flow of cars and motorcycles and limited environmental policies, Leffel writes in A Better Life For Half The Price.

Gree, founded in Zhuhai in 1991, has now become an aircraft carrier in China’s air-conditioning industry. But just a dozen years ago, Gree faced the danger of being sold to the Americans. Thinking of it, it makes people sweat.

In July 2005, the media suddenly exposed the news that “Carrier will acquire Gree Electric.” Although the Zhuhai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission quickly came forward to refute the rumors, the matter was definitely not groundless. “At that time, an official from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Zhuhai who was interviewed by the “Chinese Entrepreneur” said: “Almost all companies that can come have come. Who doesn’t want to get Gree.” ”

At that time, Gree Electric’s restructuring was entering a very sensitive stage, and the Zhuhai municipal government was also hesitant about how to choose. Gree’s restructuring work began in 2003. Although Gree Group held 58.66% of Gree Electric’s equity, the restructuring work was still directly managed by the municipal government.

At that time, the Zhuhai Municipal Government had different opinions on how Gree should restructure. The party headed by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at the time advocated introducing a major shareholder for Gree Electric. As long as the major shareholder can ensure that Gree Electric will remain in Zhuhai, it will be fine even if it is bought by foreign capital. The other faction is opposed to the shareholding of Gree Electric. Sold to foreign investors.

The party that agreed to sell Gree to foreign investors used the example of Shenzhen Water Group’s restructuring as a magic weapon. Two years ahead, Shenzhen sold its 45% stake in Shenzhen Water Affairs Group to the French Veolia Water Group at a price of US$400 million, and the restructuring was a success. Many people from the Zhuhai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were very interested in this experience in Shenzhen. If a Fortune 500 company can be introduced to buy Gree, this will be a highlight for the political achievements of the ruling party, and it can also change Zhuhai’s backwardness in attracting foreign investment in the province at that time.

Soon after the news of Gree Electric’s equity transfer came out, a large number of foreign companies flocked to it. Companies that have expressed strong interest in equity transfers include internationally renowned companies such as American Carrier and Japan’s Daikin. Through a period of inspection, the Zhuhai Municipal Government has been more active towards the American Carrier Group, the company founded by the inventor of air-conditioning Willis Carrier, but these details have always been kept secret from Gree’s senior management.

In July 2005, when the Carrier Group launched an investigation before the acquisition of Gree, the Zhuhai Municipal Government revealed the acquisition plan to Gree’s management. The shock and resistance of then chairman Zhu Jianghong and general manager Dong Mingzhu can be imagined. .

In the life and death of Gree Electric, Dong Mingzhu showed the demeanor of an “Iron Lady”. She directed the staff to prevent the investigators of the Carrier Group from entering Gree’s gate, and she immediately went to Guangzhou to find Zhang Dejiang, then Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and told Secretary Zhang the pros and cons of the “national brand” of Gree being sold.

In Secretary Zhang’s office, Dong Mingzhu burst into tears: “Although American Carrier is a Fortune 500 company in the world, if we sell them to them, our domestic products are gone! Gree is small, but it has a future!” When it comes to excitement, she even said Slapped the table.

The result of this three-hour battle based on reason is that Secretary Zhang sent a provincial investigation team to investigate the acquisition of Gree Electric.

In fact, 2005 was a year of great strides for Gree Electric. Gree was the only representative of the home appliance industry on the “Top 500 Taxpayers in China” and “Top 500 Taxpayers of China’s Listed Companies” announced by the State Administration of Taxation in the first year. . Compared with the annual production capacity of 20,000 units when the company was founded, it has doubled by 140 times.

Dong Mingzhu is an ambitious woman. She has said in public many times: “We hope Gree can become a global brand. South Korea can cultivate a global brand like Samsung. Doesn’t China have the ambition to cultivate its own brand?” Under her leadership, Gree Electric took the lead in successfully developing With the “centrifuge” technology, it has completely independent intellectual property rights.

Dong Mingzhu is very supportive of the corporate restructuring, but she is not willing to sell Gree to Americans one hundred and twenty. Although Carrier has strong capital and leading technology, as well as a global sales network, she believes that this has no meaning to the improvement of Gree’s competitiveness. As she said in front of the secretary of the provincial party committee: “Gree has no shortage of funds, technology, and global sales network. Gree does not have a penny loan in the bank, and has good financing and technical capabilities. Gree’s global sales network is not inferior to that of Americans.”

At that time, Gree was about to reach the top of the home appliance industry. If it was acquired by the Americans, what would be waiting for Gree, Dong Mingzhu knew very well. Wasn’t Kelon also “the world’s best SME”? What happened after being acquired?

Dong Mingzhu is very clear that if Carrier acquires Gree, it will reverse the decline of foreign air-conditioning manufacturers in the Chinese market and become a strong oligarch in the Chinese air-conditioning market overnight. Once the acquisition is successful, Carrier can OEM production, greatly reduce costs, and deliver its products to every corner of the Chinese market through Gree’s blood vessels.

Regarding the restructuring, Dong Mingzhu’s plan is for Gree Electric to strive for a pilot “full-tradable share reform” and reduce state-owned shares to the public. This is also a key share reform project in Guangdong Province. However, some leaders in Zhuhai at the time were hesitant to “share reform” and insisted on selling Gree.

This is the moment of survival for a national brand. In order to succeed in the acquisition, the Carrier Group made a private promise to Dong Mingzhu: After the acquisition of Gree, she will continue to serve as the general manager, with an annual salary of 80 million yuan. Dong Mingzhu’s answer was eloquent: “I won’t agree with an annual salary of 800 million yuan!”

Everyone, what is the concept of an annual salary of 80 million in 2005? Even today, Dong Mingzhu’s annual salary is not two million, and 80 million is an astronomical figure for her. But Dong Mingzhu was not overthrown by sugar-coated shells, she wanted to turn the tide.

With the support of the main leaders of the province, the Zhuhai governing officials who advocated the introduction of foreign capital were removed, and Carrier’s plan to acquire Gree was aborted. The agreement to transfer equity has become Gree Electric’s choice.

Gree’s secretary of the board of directors said: “Entering the equity division platform, the pricing of state-owned assets is completely market-oriented, and the opportunity for cheap sales is immediately reduced. Gradually reducing state-owned shares through the secondary market can completely avoid the fate of foreign acquisitions.

In September 2006, Dong Mingzhu was appointed as a director of Gree Group, and then took over as chairman in 2012. Gree Electric has completely entered the “Dong Mingzhu era”. In this year, Gree Electric’s sales exceeded the 100 billion mark, becoming the first company in my country’s home appliance industry to rely on a single product to exceed the 100 billion mark in sales. Her oath of “recreating a Gree in five years” was also fulfilled.

Let’s go back and take a look at the American company that is preparing to acquire Gree!

On November 15, 2011, Midea Electric completed the acquisition of a 51% stake in Carrier’s air-conditioning business in Latin America and took over the air-conditioning business of Carrier in Latin America. Fang Hongbo, Chairman and President of Midea Electric pointed out: Holding the control of Carrier’s Latin American air-conditioning business is one of Midea’s global strategies. After the completion of this merger, Midea’s overseas manufacturing capabilities will be further strengthened.

In the announcement of the acquisition of Carrier, Midea Electric said: “In the long run, the global air-conditioning market will gradually evolve into a duopoly of Gree and Midea.” But Midea also admits that from the perspective of air-conditioning projects, Gree Bi Midea’s internationalization The process is one step faster. In recent years, the proportion of Gree’s own brand exports is much higher than that of Midea, and its influence has basically been established in overseas markets, especially European and American markets.

Gree people will never forget Dong Mingzhu’s generous statement on the board of directors: “The annual salary that Carrier offered me is too tempting, but I can’t accept it. Because the acquisition means Gree’s failure! Carrier is the world today. Fortune 500, but Gree will be tomorrow’s top 500! Give me 20 years, wouldn’t it be better for us to build the Fortune 500 ourselves?”
