Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung chaired the State management briefing in the second quarter of 2021. Source: mic.gov.vn Accordingly, currently fighting against the Covid-19 epidemic has changed from being the main defense to the main attack; the attack on all 3 shots: Active testing even when there is no epidemic and rapid testing; switch from encouraging to mandatory use of some key technologies; Vaccines are the decisive attack. Action motto from “5K + vaccine” to “5K + vaccine + technology”. According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, technology is important to apply before the epidemic, because it is like a “night watch” to protect people, so that when the epidemic breaks out, we have data to detect quickly. close contacts, not large-scale isolation. Therefore, the Ministry of Information and Communications must work closely with the Ministry of Health to propagate so that people understand that the application of technology is a factor to ensure successful epidemic prevention and control. Technology must be applied in the stages of medical declaration, entry, testing, tracing, isolation, vaccination; even technological solutions to measure and warn about a well-ventilated working environment, reducing the risk of infection. Along with that, it is necessary to strengthen persuasion for people to understand and voluntarily use and not abuse administrative measures. The Minister of Information and Communications also emphasized that technology is a lot but must not cause trouble for people, that is, it must be re-integrated through a single portal, people only have to do it once. The establishment of the Technology Center for Covid-19 prevention and control is also for that purpose. Technology must bring benefits to the people, the community and the value brought must be greater than the cost. Technology is not an investment to take advantage of, not an additional cost for the budget, for the business or organization, but for the technology to create added value.

Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple complex was bustling with tourists. (Photo: Asia Times) The Chinese ambassador is said to have repeatedly said that this data is needed to help Beijing monitor the movement of people between the two countries, but the reality is that China is now imposing strict quarantine measures. strict for visitors and the two countries do not share borders According to reports, people who install the Stop COVID-19 app when entering a specific location will receive a message of a 6-digit sequence via phone. They need to enter this code to be granted entry. In this way, a digital log is created to record and track the user’s location based on the phone where the app is installed, as well as their behavior and relationships. Sources said that Ambassador Wang and other Chinese officials offered to assist the Cambodian Ministry of Post and Telecommunications in upgrading the current QR system with Huawei’s modern digital technology. Last year, China also made a similar offer to Thailand to access two movement tracking apps “Thai Chana” and “Mor Chana”. Chinese agencies are said to have requested access to information about foreigners in Thailand. The Chinese official told Thai authorities that any decision on allowing Chinese tourists to return to Thailand would also depend on sharing information on the Thai Chana and Mor Chana apps. Beijing has a bargaining chip when it comes to this proposal. In 2019, when the pandemic had not yet begun, Thailand welcomed 11 million Chinese tourists, more than any other country. Tourism accounts for nearly 20% of Thailand’s GDP and is currently suffering extremely serious damage because of restrictive measures to deal with the epidemic. However, Thailand has dodged this sensitive offer from China thanks to skillful diplomacy, the sources said. Thai people say that it is difficult to gather all the information in one application because the information is stored in many different databases. Cambodia is even more dependent on Chinese tourists. Out of a total of 5.29 million visitors to Cambodia in 2019, 2 million were from China. Tourism accounted for 32.7% of Cambodia’s GDP that year, but has been virtually crippled by the pandemic so far. Experts say Cambodia’s vulnerability and strategic location make it one of the focus of China’s influence efforts, as well as a target China wants to monitor, especially is with sensitive people in government and armed forces.

Ryanair aircraft at Stansted Airport, North East London, England. (Photo: AFP/VNA) On June 15, Ryanair (Republic of Ireland) confirmed that it did not support the application flight ban instead of entering Belarusian airspace for the long term, instead, the authorities of countries need to talk to Belarus to avoid a repeat of the emergency landing situation as happened last month with this airline. Earlier, on May 23, the Belarusian authorities requested a Ryanair airliner emergency landing at the airport in Minsk after receiving a bomb threat. After searching and making sure there were no security threats, the plane continued on its way to Lithuania. Belarus insists its actions were legal and will open an investigation into the false alarm. It also accused Western countries of politicizing the matter, claiming that Belarus had requested a Ryanair plane to land to arrest opposition figure Roman Protasevich and insisted it was just a coincidence. Following the allegation, the European Union (EU) and the UK banned Belarusian airlines from flying over their airspace and issued safety guidelines advising European airlines to avoid Belarusian airspace and only fly over in an emergency. Speaking to a UK Parliament committee, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said the air transport industry depends heavily on long-term “unlimited” access to all international airspace. Therefore, this CEO called for an early restoration of unlimited access to Belarusian airspace and said that EU and UK officials, in coordination with international partners, should work with the Belarusian side to ensure no repeat the problem that happened with this company. According to CEO Ryanair , the politicization of airspace zones is not the way to solve the problem because it will harm the aviation industry in particular and international connectivity in general.

Facebook sees great potential in rural Vietnam (Photo: Nikkei) Facebook is looking for a new growth approach in rural Vietnam as its advertising business gets tougher than before. According to Facebook’s assessment, rural areas in Vietnam are rapidly adapting to smartphones, especially features such as chat and video calling. Responding to the Nikkei newspaper, the social network said that Vietnam and Thailand lead the world in using chat in online sales, in terms of the volume of messages exchanged between businesses and customers. Mr. Khoi Le, in charge of Facebook business in Vietnam, revealed that many of his colleagues in the US have been “opened eyes” to this trend. Currently, Vietnam is an extremely important market for Facebook. According to Nikkei, in its financial report filed in January this year, Facebook listed Vietnam as the largest revenue engine in Southeast Asia. Globally, nearly all of the company’s revenue comes from advertising. Mr. Le said rural markets are part of Facebook’s next phase. Of the 98 million Vietnamese, 62 million live in rural areas. Even so, their spending is expected to grow faster than those of urban dwellers. Facebook forecasts that rural spending on FMCG will grow 7% annually from 2020 to 2025, compared with 2% in cities. A survey by GroupM company on 4,500 Vietnamese people living in rural areas, Facebook pointed out that if in 2018, television is still their main traditional means, by 2020, the rate of watching TV will be only 86% and remaining Internet usage rate will reach 91%. Mr. Le shared: “I used to think that rural people are not really proficient in using the Internet.” However, a Facebook survey found that 92% of rural households own a smartphone, using it to play games, shop and watch television. “They used every tool at hand extremely proficiently,” Mr. Le said. Given the growing video-watching habits of Vietnamese users, Facebook has identified several areas of focus, including live streaming, TV shows on Facebook Watch, video clips in the news feed, reposts. from Facebook-owned Instagram. For e-commerce, Le said these options will complement Facebook’s chat feature, from chatbots to allowing sellers to answer questions directly via livestream. The company hopes it will help retailers stay connected with customers, especially after Apple’s policy took effect in April, requiring iPhone owners to allow apps to track them. The change in Apple’s policy means that companies buying ads from Google or Facebook will send targeted ads to the right audience. On Monday, Apple unveiled more security features for its latest operating systems, a move expected to further disrupt online advertising. According to Phuc Ngo, Director of Strategic Planning at marketing agency Vero, advertisers are still figuring out how to adapt to Apple’s strict tracking policy. Custom ads are currently the most effective, while “community commerce” like Facebook is touting plays a small role in the translations he manages. Mr. Ngo said: “Before the policy change, you can completely depend on Facebook’s artificial intelligence because it is very smart.” While the Vietnamese countryside is getting richer, it still lags behind the cities. The minimum monthly wage in Hanoi is 4.4 million VND, compared to 3 million VND in poor provinces. Focusing on video will bring Facebook closer to competitors like YouTube, TikTok. In contrast, TikTok is also wary of Facebook and YouTube. A survey of research firms Decision Lab said Facebook is the top choice of Vietnamese users when it comes to watching short videos, but it lost 3% in the first quarter from a year ago, while TikTok doubled its market share. Although Mr. Le emphasized the role of e-commerce in helping businesses connect with rural customers, cost is still a major obstacle. With little infrastructure outside of cities, overall logistics costs equate to 16.8% of gross domestic product, higher than the Asian average, according to the Ministry of Commerce’s 2020 Vietnam Logistics Report. . Companies can advertise their products to Vietnamese farmers. But shipping those products after a successful promotion is another matter.

In the Declaration, Member States signed a commitment to “provide a safe and appropriate environment for journalists” and to “investigate, prosecute and punish threats and acts of violence” against to journalists.

Therefore, it is extremely important to ensure a safe and free environment. for journalists to assist it in uncovering corruption, money laundering to other organized crime.” – Mr. Guilherme Canela, Head of UNESCO’s Division of Freedom of Expression and Safety of Journalists UNESCO’s designation as a watchdog for SDG Target 16.10.2 has provided a key impetus for the organization to step up efforts to promote public access to information. Based on the monitoring results of SDG 16.10.2, UNESCO plays an important role in strengthening the United Nations’ support for the development of policies and laws on access to information, to protect the right to equal participation. equality as well as providing tools for civil society and the media, informing citizens, enhancing transparency of procurement, budgeting and many other areas of public life. In just four years, UNESCO has assisted 14 countries in passing Access to Information legislation. As a result, the public is informed to participate actively in public debates with decision-makers, including in the development of public policy and legislation. “Access to information allows citizens to obtain information held by public authorities, including the right to request and receive information, and the government’s obligation to proactively disclose information.” – Mr. Jaco du Toit, Head of UNESCO’s Global Access to Information Department Thông The Declaration of the 14th United Nations General Assembly on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice recognized the uniqueness of the threats facing journalists and called for global cooperation to change the situation. new to end immunity for crimes against journalists. To that effect, since 2013, UNESCO and its partners have trained more than 18,000 judicial authorities and 8,500 security forces on international and regional standards for freedom of expression, to promote promote a freer and safer environment for journalists and media workers around the world.

In which, Kim Thuy river is actually a canal, and Van Nien mountain is also an artificial product, made from river excavated soil, bricks and stones from the old Nguyen palace. Hong Kieu section is a stone arch bridge spanning a section of the Kim Thuy River, decorated extremely magnificently, finely sculpted. On both sides of the bridge are 34 lively stone lions, each with a standing posture, completely different facial expressions. It can be said that Doan Hong Kieu is the leading construction in the bridges inside the Forbidden City, so visitors love to take pictures here. Although visitors can comfortably come close to see other stone lions, but for the 4th lion from the south direction of the bridge, the tour guides always recommend to stay away, do not touch your hands. enter or take a picture with it. It is believed that this sculpture brings bad luck to visitors, so no one wants to get close, even many people refuse to walk across the bridge. So what makes this stone lion so scary? How true is this fantasy story? The stone lion on Duan Hongqiao Bridge Even when viewed with the naked eye, people can also feel the difference of the 4th lion on the bridge. While the rest of the stone lions all stand on all fours, this statue alone depicts the animal sitting on its hind legs, with one leg holding its head and one leg hugging its crotch. This is the only lion that has a sitting posture with two legs, one leg holding the head and the other holding the lower body like a person in pain. According to historical records, the special stone lion on Doan Hong Kieu Bridge is related to King Thanh Tuyen Tong (1782 – 1850), the era of Dao Quang, the 8th emperor of the Qing dynasty. King Dao Quang had a very smart son, Prince Dich Vi, although Thanh Tuyen Tong put a lot of expectations on his son, Prince Dich Vi, who loved freedom, was not subject to discipline, so he clearly showed it. stubbornness. When the school teacher advised the prince to read hard to become a wise king in the future, Prince Yi Wei defiantly said: “When I become emperor, I will execute you first!” Dich Vi’s insolent words soon reached the emperor’s ears, making Thanh Tuyen Tong extremely angry, the king was not dead, but I wanted to become emperor, I also wanted to kill you! King Dao Quang could not control his anger and threw a terrible kick between Yi Wei’s legs, causing the prince to scream in pain. A few days later, Prince Yi Wei also died from his wounds. The death of his son made King Dao Quang extremely regretful and regretful. Legend has it that not long after, the king passed by Duan Hongqiao bridge, saw a stone lion on the bridge with a tragic posture identical to that of Prince Dich Wei before his death. red on the stone lion so that no one can see it again. Expert explanation The authenticity of the story of Dao Quang Emperor seeing a stone lion has never been confirmed, however, experts have also made their own comments about the strange posture of the stone lion on Duan Hongqiao Bridge. In the historical book “Han Shu”, it is recorded that the lion appeared in China as a tribute originating from the Western Region, due to the small number of tributes, there were only emperors, court officials or princes. just got a chance to see them. For the common man or the craftsman, the lion is a strange animal. The stone lion statues born from the hand-crafted hands of folk artists are also very subjective and creative, mainly combining the characteristics of cats, tigers and other animals, so there are no stone lion statues. the majesty and majesty of lions in reality. The legend of the stone lion has helped the Forbidden City attract many tourists. Photo: Sohu. The construction of Doan Hong Kieu bridge itself has not been able to determine the construction time. According to China News, the bridge may have appeared before the Ming Dynasty and was built during the Yuan Dynasty. Stone carving expert Luu Ve Dong said: “The stone carvings under the Nguyen Dynasty are very vivid, the stone lions of this period have a large head and small waist, so the sitting posture resembles a frog.” After Confucianism flourished under the Ming Dynasty, creativity waned significantly, the new lion gradually took on the unified shape of a majestic, fierce and tame posture as commonly seen today. At this time, the unique and unconventional sculptures from the previous period easily became the inspiration for thrilling stories handed down in folklore. Today, like the anecdote of the wells, the cry of the night in the Forbidden City, although the accuracy of the events surrounding the unlucky stone lion has not been confirmed, the “half-real and half-imaginary” legends “Like this every year, it is still helping to attract millions of tourists to visit and admire the palace complex of the Forbidden City.

Students in South Korea have returned to normal school with splash shields. (Photo: AP) However, the FDA also emphasized that each country’s approach may vary, so it does not recommend any approach to the United States to deal with new infectious diseases that will emerge. The above report introduces Korea’s approach to the COVID-19 epidemic, based on lessons learned from the Middle East Acute Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak in 2015, detailing the Korea’s efforts to deal with infectious diseases. The report indicates that the Seoul Government has invested heavily in the commercial use of infectious disease diagnostic technology, which has helped Korean private enterprises develop and rapidly produce testing equipment. In addition, South Korea followed the US, applying an “emergency use authorization” (EUA) regime for COVID-19 diagnosis. The Korean justice agency has revised the law, so that the authorities have the right to collect information about patients and people suspected of having infectious diseases in critical situations. Along with that, measures such as mandatory wearing of masks, social distancing, stopping some business activities, and effective exchange strategies, have helped South Korea contain the wave of COVID-19 spread. On the other hand, according to the ranking of resilience from the COVID-19 epidemic (Covid Resilience Ranking) published by Bloomberg (USA) every month, South Korea ranked 5th out of 53 assessed countries, an increase of one place compared to the previous year. with April. Korea’s highest ranking was 4th in November last year.

Prestige X was born by combining inspiration from the company’s first headphone prototype (SR80) and first metal headset model (SR325).

Accordingly, heated tobacco products are designated as tobacco products that reduce exposure to harmful substances to the body compared to cigarettes. This decision of the FDA is also a response to some concerns of governments around the world about the ability of products to reduce harm. In addition, other concerns were also answered by experts. The risk is lower than with cigarettes, higher than that of quitting To date, health authorities are concerned that the FDA’s decision to only allow products to be designated “reduced exposure” does not prove that heated tobacco products reduce the risk of disease to human health. use. In addition, some medical experts have made statements that contradict the FDA’s decision, saying that the product is not different from cigarettes. According to official information from the FDA, studies on heated tobacco have demonstrated that the aerosols produced by these products still contain high levels of harmful and potentially harmful ingredients, including formaldehyde. , acrolein, carbon monoxide; NNN and NNK (substances related to diseases caused by tobacco smoke) but significantly lower than the currently circulating combustible cigarettes. Specifically, depending on the type of substance, the average concentration in aerosol gas will be reduced from 55% to 99% compared to the smoke of cigarettes. At the same time, the FDA said that in the process of reviewing the records, FDA has consulted users. The results showed that users found that the risk of using these products was lower than that of smoking cigarettes. However, they are also fully aware that using this heated tobacco product carries a higher risk than quitting smoking or using nicotine replacement products. PGS.TS.BS. Tran Van Ngoc – Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Respiratory Association said that in logic, minimizing exposure will help reduce harm. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Van Quang, Director of the Central Hospital for Cancer, also stated: “From the perspective of an oncologist, when a patient smokes, the greater the amount of carcinogens exposed, the higher the cancer risk. And for cigarettes, one thing is important: nicotine is not the cause of cancer caused by smoking, but the cause of cancer is the molecules in the smoke created by the combustion of cigarettes. leaves”. Low accessibility to young people The US FDA is a reputable health authority in the US as well as globally. Accordingly, protecting the young generation and people’s health is the top goal of FDA. Therefore, allowing a single heated tobacco product to be allowed access to the US market shows that they have done thorough research and considered carefully before making a decision. FDA Representative, Dr. Priscilla Callahan-Lyon affirmed that the FDA has carefully studied the issue of the product’s impact on young people. Accordingly, in terms of appearance, a heated cigarette is a rather large set of equipment, difficult to conceal and is not cheap, must be used with its own custom cigarette, and this product also does not contain attractive aromas. young. Not only in the US, in countries where this product is allowed to be sold, it is almost impossible for young people to access the product. In order to make a purchase, the buyer must go through a background check to ensure that the buyer is a smoker and is of legal age of majority in the country of origin. At the same time, although allowing this tobacco product to be commercialized, FDA also requires manufacturers to regularly update their sales and trade processes to ensure control of young people’s access to the product. This product is at its lowest. Meanwhile, compared to heated cigarettes, young people can easily buy cigarettes anywhere with as cheap as giving. On the other hand, in countries that allow the circulation of heated tobacco, the impact of this product on young people or new users is almost under control. Despite accounting for 85% of global sales of heated cigarettes, only 0.1% of middle and high school students in Japan use heated cigarettes daily, which is only one-fifth of the total. percentage of students smoking burned cigarettes. It is worth noting that the number of students using heated cigarettes is the same group of students who have used cigarettes before. According to an independent study of 7,000 teenagers in Germany, the number of people aged 12-17 who used a heated tobacco product in the 30 days before the survey was almost zero. One study Another independent study of more than 11,000 teenagers aged 11-15 years old in Switzerland also found that less than 2% had ever used heated tobacco, while the number of people who smoked lit cigarettes in this same age range increased. to over 33%. Need a plan to build a legal corridor According to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) of the World Health Organization (WHO), which Vietnam has acceded to and entered into force in March 2005, in the definition under article 1, item (f) published on the website of the Foundation for Prevention of Tobacco Harms (Vinacosh) also clearly states: “tobacco products” means products which are wholly or partly derived from tobacco materials manufactured to for sucking, sucking, chewing or inhaling. The 8th Conference of the Parties (COP8) held by WHO at the end of 2018 also once again reiterated that heated tobacco is recognized as a tobacco product. From this definition and the COP8 guidelines, it can be seen that whether according to the definition of the 2012 Law on Drugs and Prevention of Vietnam, or within the definition of the WHO Framework Convention on FCTC 2005, heated tobacco is a products must be subject to the control of the current Law on Drug Prevention and Control. Lawyer Phan Hoang Lam, Law Firm DT LAW On the other hand, lawyer Phan Hoang Lam, DT LAW Law Firm, said that the Law on Prevention of Tobacco Harms 2012 defines “Tobacco is a product manufactured from all or part of medicinal ingredients. leaves, processed in the form of cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, pipe tobacco or other forms”. On this basis, heated tobacco is considered “tobacco” because it contains tobacco leaf ingredients, consistent with the concept of “tobacco” under the current legal provisions of Vietnam. Therefore, this drug is completely regulated by the National Drug Prevention and Control Law. According to Lawyer Lam, in order to manage smokeless tobacco products more effectively, Vietnam needs to consider international scientific bases to evaluate and compare the level of harm to the health of the drug. smokeless leaves compared to burned cigarettes. At the same time, with the function of State management, in order to create free and fair competition among manufacturers and products and protect the interests of consumers, protect public health, regulatory agencies The state should immediately come up with a plan to build a legal corridor for the production, circulation and control of these products.

Up to now, many reports have suggested that Apple will gradually reduce the size of the “notch” on the iPhone and proceed to launch an iPhone completely without a notch. Until then, a designer named Antonio DeRosa has introduced a rather new iPhone design concept that also eliminates the “notch” on the front of the iPhone. Antonio DeRosa calls his design the iPhone M1. The iPhone M1 in Antonio DeRosa’s picture has absolutely no notch. The screen border of the device is also almost completely minimalist. (Photo: Antonio DeRosa) The device has a front camera arranged hidden under the screen in the center above the screen. Meanwhile, other components needed for the operation of the phone are arranged protruding at the top of the device. (Photo: Antonio DeRosa) This approach to the design leaves the user’s screen space unaffected. (Photo: Antonio DeRosa) A close-up of the top of the device is quite unique in the design of the iPhone 11. This phone still has a flat beveled side.

TikTok icon on a phone screen. Photo: THX/VNA The offer comes after TikTok deleted more than 500,000 accounts under the age of 13 in less than three months in the European country. In early February, TikTok – owned by China’s ByteDance group – agreed with Italian authorities to block all accounts under the age of 13. This is one of the measures taken after the tragic incident of a 10-year-old girl in Italy when performing a challenge on TikTok. In the latest announcement, Italy’s data regulator said: “The measures applied have made a lot of sense, but the results are not enough.” Therefore, the agency recommends that TikTok cancel any accounts connected to users under the age of 13 within 48 hours, making this access more difficult for young users, and launch media campaigns to solve the problem Love that this platform is not built for use by people under the age of 13. In addition, the Italian agency also suggested that TikTok have solutions, including the use of artificial intelligence, to reduce the risks of having teenagers under the age of 13 accessing and using the TikTok platform. Over the past months, TikTok has asked more than 12.5 million users in Italy to verify their age. In the announcement, Ms. Alexandra Evans – head of child protection at TikTok – said: “Following discussions with regulators earlier this year, we have piloted additional measures to ensure that only users 13 years of age or older can use it”.

Since 3 years ago, “post-00s” have entered the barracks one after another. They have been questioned from a secular perspective just like the situation of the “post-80s” and “post-90s” in those years. Because of this, they are more eager to be understood and recognized. But in any case, people must accept the fact that sooner or later they will become the main force of the army and the main body of the barracks.

Walking on the snow-covered plateau, the reporter saw the towering snow-capped mountains, and even the unique faces of the officers and soldiers stationed in training—black and purple cracked lips, panting nostrils, faces burned like copper plates by ultraviolet rays… different youth There are different appearances, a generation of soldiers has the style of a generation of soldiers. Practice has proved that after the baptism of the plateau winds and snow, and the experience of preparing for war, the “post-00” soldiers can also carry the mission like a mountain with their youth and strong shoulders.

With immediate effect, the basic-level fax edition of the People’s Liberation Army Daily has launched a series of reports on “Entering the Barracks Post-00s·Reporters Standing on the Plateau”, telling the story of these post-00s soldiers fighting the plateau and tempering their growth. stay tuned.

A declaration of youth written on the snowy plateau

The snow-covered plateau at night was very cold, Wang Binyuan opened his rucksack, took out the mattress, and made preparations for going to bed. The words written with a marker on the surface of the mattress are particularly eye-catching–

“I don’t want to be a flower in the greenhouse, I want to prove myself! Compared with others, compared with myself, make a little progress every day…”

Wang Binyuan told reporters that this is his letter of determination and his declaration of youth, “I see it every day, and I have infinite motivation!” After coming to the plateau, in order to motivate himself, he wrote this on the surface of the mattress. Xingzi.

The 19-year-old Wang Binyuan is a tank commander and corporal rank of the fourth tank of the second battalion of a synthetic regiment in the Xinjiang Military Region. Like many “post-00s” in the eyes of the public, he used to not like to read books and love to surf the Internet, but since childhood he liked to play “war” games with his friends, and he was mostly accompanied by toy guns, tank models, and cannon models.

Wang Binyuan said that he was particularly obsessed with the military TV series “Soldier Assault”, and because of this TV series, he chose to enter the hot military camp.

However, life in the army gave him a newcomer, his physical stamina was dragged down, and his life was unsuitable… At the beginning of his enlistment, he was at a loss for what to do. What irritated him even more was that his elder brother, who had been a “student tyrant” since he was a child, was admitted to Xi’an Jiaotong University.

“Brothers of my compatriots, why is the gap so big?” The parents sighed inadvertently, which aroused Wang Binyuan’s eagerness to win.

“When I was running, I had to clenched my teeth and stared at the first place; I forced myself to be the most proficient when I practiced operations…” said Wang Binyuan. During the new training period, I only thought about training. Time flies, the bones are getting stronger day by day, and the will is getting stronger day by day. In the new recruits under the company assessment, he received a good result in the general evaluation of excellent.

After the next connection, Wang Binyuan would get up half an hour early every day to run a 5km run. He often used the noon or break time to study the equipment. After the lights were turned off at night, he took the initiative to “turn on a small stove” to learn theories…The hard work will eventually reap, and now he has continued. He passed the professional grading assessment of driving, shooting, and communication, and became the youngest tank captain in the company.

“Because it is my own choice, I have to be responsible for it to the end.” Hearing that the troops will be stationed on the plateau, Wang Binyuan took the initiative to submit a letter of invitation to the company.

There are always too many tests on the plateau, and it can always witness the growth of a young soldier. Once, Wang Binyuan suffered a lung infection and had a high fever of 39.6°C. When he was rushed to the hospital, he was still worried about his tank in a daze. Soon after he recovered from his illness, he couldn’t wait to show up on the training ground…

“Becoming a soldier, this is the most correct choice in my life.” Wang Binyuan said, and his dim yearning when he was young brought him to the barracks. From the moment he put on the military uniform, his beacon of youth had been lit…

When he said this, Wang Binyuan’s eyes were extremely firm.

On March 8th, when many peers were immersed in the shopping spree, the 19-year-old female soldier Fan Yuyao of the regiment’s guard service company was on guard duty at the -23℃ snowy outpost.

Last year, Fan Yuyao, who had been in the army for less than a year, together with 22 other female soldiers, solemnly handed in a letter to the Communist Youth League Party Committee and rushed to the Kunlun Snow Region.

“Since I cut off my long hair, walked into the barracks, and put on the military uniform, I have understood responsibility and responsibility. Looking at the traces of training left by my hands, I have found the pride of realizing my self-worth, and I have experienced the hard work and hard work. Satisfaction.” Fan Yuyao said.

When they first went to the plateau, due to weather and environmental reasons, many soldiers had symptoms such as anemia, hair loss, and sunken nails. “Lack of oxygen can’t be lack of energy!” These young soldiers, who have just grown up, overcame the harsh natural conditions with tenacious perseverance, and stayed on the plateau for several months.

Talking about these “post-00s”, the regiment political commissar Gong Yihong sighed and proud: “Their performance really exceeded our expectations.”

“When I first went to the plateau, I had all kinds of discomforts, strong altitude sickness, unbearable headaches, and stomach churning, but I was not afraid. When I thought of the mission and responsibilities represented by the Army Emblem of Bayi, I thought of my beloved motherland and relatives. The determination and courage for all difficulties.”

“I once climbed to a post more than 5,300 meters above sea level with a weight of tens of kilograms, and held my post against the wind and snow like a knife, because I know that the post is the battle post.”

“I used to climb a peak of more than 5,800 meters above sea level with my equipment on my back. The stones along the road were as sharp as a knife and braved the cold light. The perennial snow covered my knees. But I am not afraid because the place I am holding is China. There are people I love the most in the land that I protect.”

…

In the group, the reporter saw the declaration of youth written by the “post-00” soldiers, and couldn’t help but feel moved. Today with diverse choices, more and more “post-00s” choose to enter the barracks, exercise their skills on the plateau, and let the wind and snow temper their will. Through their words, the reporters deeply felt that in their hearts, being a soldier is actually a very pure thing-because they like it, because they want to do something for this country.

“Let youth shine in the struggle”, this is what youth looks like! The strong sense of mission, honor and responsibility exuded by these “post-00” soldiers constitutes the spirit of the soldiers in the new era. As the song sings: “In the vast sea of ​​people, who am I… I blend my youth into the rivers of the motherland…”

Around the world, distribution teams work hard to get the Covid-19 vaccine to the most remote locations. In areas not accessible by car, people have to resort to sleighs, drones, or even elephants, horses, and camels to deliver vaccines. “The effort to bring vaccines to every country in the world right now is unprecedented,” said Robin Nandy, UNICEF’s head of immunization.

Immunization plans are in disarray in many areas, many people still waiting for their turn to receive vaccines. In the most remote, inaccessible places, a time-race effort to deliver vaccines is underway. These are places, whether the virus has invaded or not, are not equipped with adequate medical equipment to respond in the event of a pandemic outbreak. Photo: AP.

In the icy plains of southern Alaska, the Yukon-Kuskokwim medical organization distribution team used sleighs to deliver vaccines to dozens of villages in the most remote, remote areas. Vaccine delivery efforts kicked off in December 2020, when temperatures ranged from -30 to -20 degrees Celsius, putting the vaccine at risk of freezing inside the needle. In the photo, the vaccine is taken to the village of Napakiak, Alaska. Photo: AP.

“People here are desperately waiting to get vaccinated. It’s thrilling to be able to do something for them, keep them safe,” said Dr. Ellen Hodges, head of the vaccine distribution team. To date, Yukon-Kuskokwim has helped distribute thousands of doses of vaccine to 47 villages in southern Alaska. In the photo, a resident of Great Cranberry Island, is vaccinated. Photo: AP.

In the most remote areas of the Indian state of Assam, the vaccine is delivered to the vaccination site by very rudimentary means. Bahakajari village has 9,000 people waiting to receive the vaccine. To get the vaccine here, the medical teams had to row a boat, and then walk. In the photo, people in Bahakajari take a boat to the vaccination site. Photo: AP.

In Brazil, remote Amazon communities face a huge logistical challenge, traveling by boat for hours to the vaccination sites. For them, access to vaccines is extremely important, because most communities have only minimal medical facilities, and are unable to effectively treat advanced Covid-19 cases. In the photo, the vaccine is transported by small ship in the Amazon. Photo: AP.

As in many other parts of the world, health workers in Brazil face the challenge of convincing people to overcome skepticism, believe in vaccine safety and accept vaccinations. “Vaccine hesitancy is a complex issue, so it is extremely important to have adequate information available to all walks of life,” said a spokesman for the Global Vaccine Alliance (GAVI). In the photo, a person in the Amazon is vaccinated. Photo: AP.

On islands off the northeast of the United States, going inland was once the best option for vaccination. Each trip usually takes one day of travel. The harsh winter weather made the situation worse, as it prevented sea-going vehicles from going out to sea for days. The lack of early access to vaccines makes people even more isolated because they cannot leave their homes. Photo: AP.

When teams of volunteers sent vaccines to remote islands, the people here seemed to be rescued. Vaccine provides an opportunity to help people restore a normal life. “We are very excited. This vaccine helps relieve the isolation we have suffered for so long,” said Lindsay Eysnogle, a teacher on Islesford Island, Maine.

All these things have brought people with disabilities confidence and self-reliance, and there have been many successful examples of disabled people in the fields of economics, science, politics and social culture.

1. Giving advice at the wrong time

How many times have you felt compelled to give advice to someone even when not asked? This mistake in communication often comes from love and concern. When you love someone, you want them to be better, and that’s okay. But the fact that we often give unnecessary advice will often backfire.

It always happens in relationships when we really want to help the person improve, but don’t think about whether they need our advice or not. “Honesty is the best policy”, but sometimes we take it too far. If you hear yourself trying to say, “I think you should …” or “This isn’t good about you,” notice, you may be about to give some advice that others don’t want to hear.

Appropriate approach: If you feel that it’s important to advise someone, you have two options for how to approach your audience. You can ask for the person’s opinion and get his or her permission, before giving advice, or you can try to reassure them that your advice is constructive.

Asking someone for advice doesn’t always work because that person may say they don’t want to hear these things. If they don’t want to hear what you have to say, the only thing you can do is keep quiet and let the person figure it out on his own.

2. Ignore their feelings when they need you

Our emotions fluctuate often and, unfortunately, we cannot be happy all the time. We may feel stressed at work, sad at something happened, or frustrated by not getting what we want. The greatest sadness comes from feeling that the person who should know us best cannot recognize our painful feelings.

Imagine your spouse comes home from a stressful day at work. You have not even let them tell your story, immediately give advice. You think you are helping them and trying to fix the problem for them. But that approach has never been highly effective.

Not only do you fall into the first mistake of giving advice at the wrong time, you are also seen as ignoring the other person’s needs at the time. Your ex may want to discuss or solve problems with you sometimes, but when they come home from a tiring day, the only thing they need is to be heard.

Appropriate approach: Respect the other’s feelings by listening to them. Use proactive listening and avoid trying to fix the problem for them right away. Even if the problem seems minor to you, avoid trivializing their emotions. You can help him or her find solutions later, but at first just acknowledge their thoughts and feelings.

3. Don’t give any advice to the other party

If the past problems have been about giving too much information, then there are many people who are mistaken in not giving any advice.

Imagine your ex coming to you to suggest a place for your anniversary. Instead of listing a few options with them, you answer by: “I / I don’t know” or “It depends, you are fine with whatever you choose.”

You think you are showing comfort and flexibility, but that is not the message you are sending to the other person. He or she comes to you because they want suggestions and advice from you and answers like don’t care or don’t want to take any responsibility for decision-making that really makes others feel uncomfortable. bear. You don’t have to come up with a definitive answer, but they want to see that you are willing to come up with some contributing ideas about the problem in general.

Appropriate approach: When someone asks for your response, take a moment to review their request. You don’t have to solve the problem for them, but you can help them think about the situation from a new perspective.

Access road for people with disabilities at the Provincial Museum.

Since 2002, the Ministry of Construction has issued a set of technical regulations and standards to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use them. In 2014, the Ministry of Construction issued Circular 21/2014 / TT-BXD, dated December 29, 2014, issued together with the national technical regulation on “Building construction to ensure access to use by people with disabilities” (QCVN 10 : 2014 / BXD). This regulation specifies technical requirements that must be complied with when building new or renovating constructions to ensure that people with disabilities have access to and use them.

In addition, Decision 1019 / QD-TTg dated August 5, 2012 of the Prime Minister on the project to support people with disabilities for the period 2012-2020 sets the target that by the end of 2020, 100% of the works will be the headquarters of the institution. government officials; station, bus station, pier; medical examination and treatment establishments; educational institutions, vocational training, cultural works, sport and physical training; The apartment building ensures accessibility for people with disabilities. Also according to the above decision, social service works will have to design additional items to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use.

However, according to the survey results, the survey of the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and Orphans (PWD & TMC), the number of public works in the area with items accessible to people with disabilities is still very limited.

In 2020, the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and TMC will conduct a survey at 40/177 communal units; 6/13 units at district level and 21 projects at provincial level in Ha Long city. For the commune level, surveyed at 281 schemes, only 21 schemes have access roads for people with disabilities (accounting for 7.4%). Of the 53 projects built after 2012 (the year the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1019 / QD-TTg approving the project to help people with disabilities access social welfare works), only 11 projects have access road for people with disabilities (accounting for 20.7%). In particular, of the 40 surveyed commune-level offices, only 7 offices have access roads for people with disabilities; 1/121 village cultural house has access roads for people with disabilities (accounting for 0.08%).

At district level, in the survey of 78 schemes in 6 districts, towns and cities, only 19 schemes have access roads for people with disabilities. Out of 22 projects built after 2012, only 13 have access roads for people with disabilities. Out of the 6 district level units surveyed, all 6 offices do not have access roads for people with disabilities. All offices of the Justice Department, the General Education Center, and the Sports Center of the 6 surveyed district-level units do not have access roads for people with disabilities.

At the provincial level, surveyed in 21 schemes, only 13 schemes had access roads for people with disabilities. Out of 11 projects built after 2012, 10 have access roads serving people with disabilities. Only one building is the headquarters of the Provincial Employment and Service Center (Cao Xanh ward) with no access roads for people with disabilities.

This shows that the units that design, inspect and approve the construction of the works do not pay attention to adding access roads for people with disabilities according to regulations.

Sharing with us, Mr. Tran Manh Ha, residing in group 8, Trao Ha area, Duc Chinh ward, Dong Trieu town, said: “For people with severe mobility impairment, they have to sit in a wheelchair like us, going very difficult again. Every time you go and do, you must ask a loved one or a healthy person to help you. I myself also want to have conditions to access public services and integrate with the community, but the difficulties in not having access make me feel inconvenient, even more shrinking because of fear of disturbing others. . I really hope that units and agencies are interested in building additional public works to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use them conveniently. Currently, the new construction of the Head Office of the Ward People’s Committee has access roads for people with disabilities, and some old public works do not have access roads for people with disabilities, and are expected to soon be supplemented by units and agencies ”.

According to Mr. Lanh The Vinh, Chairman of the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and TMC, the access road for people with disabilities is one of the important approaches that people with disabilities are currently facing. Although there are clear regulations and regulations in legal documents, through investigation and surveys in many public works, this item seems to be “forgotten”. After the Investigation and Review Association has submitted a report to the Provincial People’s Committee to propose and propose solutions to help people with disabilities have conditions to access public works and integrate into the community.

According to statistics, the province currently has a total of 20,767 PWDs, of which more than 4,000 people with special severe disabilities have to travel by wheelchair.

In order to enhance the responsibilities of agencies and units in implementing access roads for people with disabilities at public works, on November 20, 2020, the Provincial People’s Committee issued a document 7948 / UBND-XD4 requesting departments, Departments, branches, units and local People’s Committees, based on their functions and tasks, actively guide, inspect and supervise the implementation of national technical regulations and regulations on construction to ensure that PWDs can receive access to Approach to use in new design or renovation of construction works according to prescribed regulations and standards.

For specialized construction works management departments, economic zones management boards, localities and district-level professional offices organize the appraisal, grant of construction permits, and take over the works to be put into use. Construction works must ensure access requirements for people with disabilities; strengthen inspection, control and handle violations, ensure full implementation of policies to help NKY access and use construction works.

The province also requires project investors to organize the implementation of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD regulations on construction works right from the design task, technical design construction; it is imperative that contractors, when participating in bidding, must fully express the technical regulations specified in Section 2 of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD Regulation; It is not accepted for contractors who do not satisfy all design documents but do not fully show the technical regulations specified in Section 2 of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD Regulation. For the construction management and use units, proactively review and have plans to repair and renovate the works, ensuring the requirements for PWDs to access and use according to QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD and other relevant standards and regulations.
