Every journalist is a soldier. Revolutionary journalists must have a revolutionary spirit, that is, the spirit of attack, struggle to eliminate the bad, protect the good, for the common cause of the country and the people. The General Secretary directed the press to make an effective contribution to the formation of healthy public opinion, building the bravery, intelligence, soul and mettle of the Vietnamese people in the new era, contributing to promoting and supporting the Vietnamese people. create the strength of unity, unity and consensus of the whole nation. To fulfill that requirement, over the past time, the Vietnamese revolutionary press under the leadership of the Party has made a strong transformation in the direction of being more streamlined, journalists-journalists have constantly trained, strived and continued to work. keep holding yourself to be stronger, more effective. The most prominent of which is the implementation of the National Press Development and Management Plan to 2025 according to the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 362/QD-TTg dated April 3, 2019 and the second quarter of 2021. The press agency in the planning area has completed the dissolution and merger to enter a new stage of development more effectively, including the press agency of Thanh Hoa province. In the same period, with the Vietnam Journalists Association promulgating 10 articles regulating the professional ethics of Vietnamese journalists, especially the Rules of using social networks of Vietnamese journalists to better suit the needs of the public. regulations in the Press Law in 2016, has contributed to building an increasingly regular, humane and professional team of journalists, the press agency has become stronger, and the press publications have been widely accepted by readers. than. The latest, on April 8, 2020, the Secretariat (term XII) issued Directive No. 43-CT/TW on strengthening the Party’s leadership over the activities of the Vietnam Journalists Association in the new situation. , helping the activities of the press to be raised to a higher level. Right after that, the Standing Board of Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee issued Plan No. 201-KH/TU to implement Directive No. 43-CT/TW of the Secretariat with the aim of creating unity in awareness and responsibility of the Party.

By the beginning of 2021, Thanh Hoa has 360 journalist members living in 5 journalist associations under Thanh Hoa Journalists Association. Along with that, there are dozens of representative offices and permanent offices of the Central press agency with nearly 100 journalists working in the area. This is an advantage but also causes many difficulties in the management, gathering and building of a team, especially in supervising the professional ethics of journalist members. Since this issue requires along with strict implementation of the provisions of the law on the press, the implementation of professional ethics of journalists must also be one step higher. Accordingly, in the past time, along with consolidating and improving the operational efficiency of the Council for handling violations of professional ethics of Vietnamese journalists in Thanh Hoa province, attaching the responsibilities of each member to the field and position of the Vietnamese journalist. Working positions at directing, management and press agencies, Thanh Hoa Journalists Association has proposed to build a mechanism for coordination between three agencies, including the Provincial Party Committee’s Propaganda Department, the Department of Information and Communication. and the Association of Journalists to create greater strength and unity in directing, managing and gathering journalists in the area.

Sales increase The chemical industry is raging

As of: 06/09/2021 3:54 p.m.

The third largest German branch of industry has reached the pre-crisis level again. After growth in the first quarter, the chemical industry raised its forecast for the year. The pharmaceutical business in particular is doing better than expected. Despite the rise in raw material prices and delivery problems, the German chemical industry continued on its growth path in the first three months of the year. As announced by the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), the sector increased its sales by 1.1 percent to 51.3 billion euros compared to the same period in the previous year. Production increased by 0.8 percent. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, sales growth was even 3.6 percent.

Again above pre-crisis levels

With the sustained upward trend, the third largest German industrial sector – after the car and machine builders – has already compensated for the corona dent. Production and sales are now back above pre-crisis levels. Above all, exports to EU countries increased. In addition, there was the increasing demand from Asia. The chemical industry was also able to grow in the German home market – thanks to higher prices.

“Hope for a good year in chemistry”

VCI President Christian Kullmann, who is also the head of the chemical company Evonik, was delighted with the development. “The first few months give hope for a good year in chemistry,” he said. “The demand for chemicals and pharmaceuticals is increasing.” The industry association is now even more optimistic about the year as a whole. For 2021, the VCI predicts sales growth of eight percent and an increase in production of 4.5 percent. So far, a plus of five percent in sales and an increase of three percent in production had been forecast.

Price increases and corona vaccines as drivers

Strong price increases for the chemical and pharmaceutical products manufactured should make a significant contribution to this. The association is anticipating 3.5 percent higher prices for the year as a whole. The chemical industry is also benefiting from the corona vaccine boom. There are numerous suppliers for the vaccines from BioNTech, Moderna & Co, including Evonik and Wacker Chemie. You act as a technology supplier or as a contract manufacturer.

Worry about delivery bottlenecks

Only supply bottlenecks for materials and intermediate products are dampening the good mood in the chemical industry. “They are now affecting the operational processes of every second company,” warned VCI President Kullmann. However, the situation should ease again in the course of the year. In March, the blockade of the Suez Canal interrupted the supply chain from Asia in the chemical industry. Around 16 percent of chemical imports and 18 percent of exports take this route.

Huge green electricity demand for climate neutrality

In addition, the more stringent climate protection targets are making the industry difficult. “The way there remains in the fog”, said recently Wolfgang Große Entrup, General Manager of the VCI. “For the new goal, our industry needs more electricity than Germany currently consumes overall – as green electricity.” If the industry does not get competitive prices for electricity from renewable energies, it will not manage the energy transition. In spring 2020, the association presented a study in which it considers climate neutrality by 2050 to be technically feasible. For this, however, enormous additional amounts of green electricity are required. By the mid-2030s, the chemical industry’s electricity needs will increase more than tenfold. In addition, the electricity price would have to drop to four cents per kilowatt hour, demanded the VCI. The industry currently pays between eight and ten cents per kilowatt hour.

BASF is pushing ahead

VCI President Kullmann considers the renewed tightening of climate protection targets and the more rapid increase in CO2 prices called for by the Greens in their election manifesto as “irresponsible”. At the annual chemistry conference of the “Handelsblatt”, he warned that those who shackle the industry put the ax to their transformation. Good politics are based on incentives and not on bans. BASF is one of the first chemical companies to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero on a fixed date. The people of Ludwigshafen want to become climate neutral by 2050. Among other things, one should help huge wind farm in the North Sea that BASF is planning together with RWE . The plant with a capacity of two gigawatts is to supply the Ludwigshafen chemical site with green electricity from 2030.

Around mid-May, crocodiles have been sold on the streets. This year, around mid-May, the crocodile pickers have started working. These days, walking along the streets of Tran Hung Dao, Phan Dinh Phung, Hoang Dieu, Tran Phu, Ba Trieu… it is easy to see the image of sellers sitting on the sidewalk, next to a big bag of crocodiles to greet customers. Purchase. Crocodile season’s livelihood at the expense of life When the sound of the car horns became less and less, the quiet night fell, the crocodile picker with a simple tool of a hook and a sack began to climb the tree to pick crocodiles. Mr. Long, a crocodile-picker for many years on Phan Dinh Phung street, said: “The time to pick crocodiles usually starts from 3am to 5am – 6am, both to avoid the authorities and to keep the people in time. Stop by to go to work and buy groceries.” Crocodile-picking is a dangerous, seasonal job, the amount of money of several hundred thousand and millions earned is a gamble with life. Crocodile tree is inherently brittle, small crocodile branches are very easy to break; Moreover, the crocodile trees on the streets of Hanoi have mostly been grown for many years, some trees are up to 30-40 m tall, so it is very difficult for people to pick. The “crocodile workers” mainly rely on experience, climbing and picking without protective gear, so the risk of falling and being injured is very high. They chose the job of picking crocodiles that was both dangerous, “sneaky”, and uninsured, a job that in the old days people still called with an unfriendly attitude – “the tamarind, the crocodile climber”, also just because of only two words “for a living”. When we asked the crocodile sellers if they were afraid of danger, many just laughed. “It takes a long time to get used to climbing, you have to try and take advantage of it! Crocodile season only lasts about 2-3 months, so we have to try to pick as much as possible, take advantage of earning extra income and send it back to our family, “said Mr. Long. A customer buys crocodiles on Phan Dinh Phung street. On average, a crocodile-picker can pick 20-25kg of crocodiles per day, groups of 3-5 people can collect more crocodiles. Hoai’s family (from Thanh Hoa) will divide the work, at dawn her husband picks crocodiles, in the morning, he does other jobs such as driving motorbike taxis, collecting rice water, …; And she will sell alligators during the day, when will she return. Hoai said: “This year because of the epidemic, few people went out, so they sold less than every year, and the price of crocodiles also decreased. Like last year, my family sold 50-60 thousand/kg of crocodile, but this year the disease caused the price of crocodile at the beginning of the crop to be 40,000/kg, now it only fluctuates in the range of 30-35 thousand/kg.” Thus, the average daily income of people who pick crocodiles is from 500 to 600 thousand VND, at peak times can be up to millions of dollars. Crocodile pickers are poor laborers Although the work of picking crocodiles is hard, it brings a high income for poor workers like Mr. Long. Income from a crocodile crop is about several tens of millions of dong, which is a large amount of money to help them cover their daily lives. Mr. Long looked at the bags of crocodiles displayed on the sidewalk and said: “Doing this job is hard work but it is worth it, after doing it for a long time, I feel love and miss! But crocodiles do not have to bear fruit all year round, just take advantage of the beginning of May and June every year to earn a little more. The functional forces also remind us all the time, because they are afraid of climbing and falling, but if the crocodile stays on the tree forever, it will also grow old, it will be a waste to fall down.” Crocodile pickers are all self-employed. Most of the crocodile pickers are laborers from the provinces such as Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Hung Yen, Nam Dinh, etc. They are self-employed manual laborers in Hanoi. Some people work as assistants, some work as drivers, shine shoes, … only when the crocodile season comes, they pull together along the streets with crocodiles to make a living. At the end of the crocodile season, they resume their work in the year. Anh Hung (32 years old, from Thanh Hoa) works as a motorbike taxi driver, every time he takes a break from work to pick crocodiles with some brothers in the group. Thanks to harvesting crocodiles, he has money to cover his living expenses and send money back to his hometown for his children to study. Hung said that crocodiles can only be picked on sunny days, when it rains, the tree can’t be climbed. “Looks like it’s going to rain in a few days, we have to take advantage of the sunny day to pick up a little more to sell to make money”, Mr. Hung told us while selling. “This Hanoi crocodile is very popular with many people, not like the forest crocodile, its shell is thick, rough, the water is acrid, not as pure and domestic as the Hanoi crocodile. Look at this, this crocodile has just been picked, the stem is still full of plastic, the bite sounds crispy in the mouth, it’s been eaten!” – A salesman eagerly greets customers. Crocodile fruit – a typical gift of Ha Thanh. Phuong (25 years old, Ba Dinh) said: “I like crocodiles because they taste clean, not as harsh as lemons. Taking advantage of the crocodile season, I have to go to the tree to buy fresh crocodiles, but at the market, all crocodiles come from the provinces, the taste is not as good as my Hanoi crocodile. This season, I buy crocodiles to cook soup and make drinking water for the whole family.” Hanoi crocodile, a typical gift of the capital, is both a “fishing rod” of poor workers. That idyllic fruit is a gift from mother nature, also a sweat and hard work, which must be exchanged with the life of the crocodile-picker. Another season of crocodiles has returned, and the lives of people who make a living are busy again.

In the cool afternoons under the veranda, listening to the rustling of leaves on the roof, my father often said that the memory of Uncle Hai would never fade in my grandmother’s heart. I once asked her, “What color are your memories?”. “It’s the color of ripe plums.” Looking up at the plum tree in front of my house for a long time, I still don’t understand why the memory brings such a popular and rural fruit color? She smiled, “when you grow up, you will understand”. It was a time when the wind was strong, and the plum tree in front of the house rustled again. On nights like that, Grandma had trouble sleeping. She lay tossing and turning, sometimes sitting up, turning on the canna lamp (chili shaped) in front of the porch. North of a small chair, grandmother sat there and stared blankly at the plum tree in front of the yard. Far away is the river, where the fishing lights go on forever. Where in the past, she rowed a canoe to take him across the river to the base, where Uncle Hai got off the boat to the north to protect the border. And the riverbank in the grandmother’s heart always carries the color of loneliness and pain about a belief that is lying deep somewhere, far away. Grandma used to tell us about the plum tree in her front yard. She said that when she went to the north, Uncle Hai wrote to say that plum tree, in the north called whip tree and in the central part called peach tree. Each place has a different name, but plum is still a fragrant home garden fruit and is associated with the nostalgia of many children far from home. In my memory, my plum tree is tall and wide, covering an entire yard. The plum branches are long, reaching as far as the eaves. A few walks of fallen leaves on the corrugated iron roof, at night the wind pushes the palm branches into rustling sounds. Although I know it’s hard for old people to sleep, when I see my grandmother tossing and turning all night, my father is also worried. He intended to cut the plum branch, so that the night wind would not rustle the roof. Hearing that, grandma didn’t like it. She said, thanks to the wide canopy, the yard is cool from the road to the house. Besides, this branch has been bearing fruit for the past few seasons, and she feels sorry to have cut it down. I know, grandma has another belief. When she stood under the tree, she looked aimlessly at the plums laden with branches, her heart was not willing to cut down any branches full of memories. When I was a child, I could not hold the armor of a tree. I wish I grew up quickly, so that I could wrap my arms around the tree easily. But strangely, when I grew up, there was still no way to hold the armor with one arm. Hearing that, my grandmother patted my head and smiled: “Every day you grow up, the tree grows like you every day.” At that time, I wondered again: “Why does the seedling come like that, does the tree have thoughts too?”. She nodded: “That’s right, trees, like people, also know how to think, also know how to love and give fruit to those who feed it.” I pondered again and asked: “So the tree has parents and grandparents? Who gave birth to the plum tree?” She was silent and did not speak, perhaps she did not know how to answer so that her five-year-old grandson could clearly understand. She patted my head again and said: “You will understand when you grow up!”. I believe, and I firmly believe in her words, that there are things that you don’t understand until you grow up! The times I climbed up the swinging plum tree, looked down at the porch, where my grandmother sat beside a basket of plums and a few fluttering betel leaves, I saw my grandmother storing up a treasure trove of memories of Uncle Hai. At that time, I believed more and more, there are things that when I grow up, I understand clearly. At the age of twenty, I followed my father and grandmother to the border. A few days before the day of the trip, she asked me to go down to the river to draw up a bucket of water, she digs around the soil at the plum tree in front of the house and then sprinkles the water meticulously and carefully. Like a diligent and dedicated gardener. She pulled out all the grass around the tree, leaving only the roots that sprouted from the big, rough roots that sprouted a bit into the ground. I wonder why it has to be the river’s water to water the plants. Why not pull the tap water, water the plants, both fast and convenient. She smiled, her mouth was full of grace: “River water carries heavy silt, nutrients like the milk of the mother river, helping the tree to bear fruit”. Grandma used to go around the plum tree. As she walked, she collected crushed ripe fruit and fallen leaves and gathered them in one place. She lit up the smoke, fragrant plum smoke, fluttering in the afternoon, mixing with the color of her hair. At that time, my heart suddenly fluttered, for the first time in my life, I realized that my grandfather was old. And the time she spent with her children and grandchildren also gradually shortened. A few days later, we went to the border. She said “go pick up Hai”. Sitting on the train, Grandma still couldn’t stop hugging plums. Those are the biggest, tastiest fruits I’ve ever picked. Grandmother has selected to save to bring to the border, “for the uncles”. Along the way, she never stopped talking passionately about her child. She said that in the past, she was pregnant with Uncle Hai until nine months and twenty days before giving birth. The baby was so big, weighing more than four kilograms, she thought she wouldn’t make it. But the child loves his mother, so he tries to pull away. She said, my uncle Hai from a young age loved fruit trees. Grandpa saw that, so he planted dozens of stone plum trees around the house for green fruit. But unfortunately, in the water season of the year of the Dragon, the water soaked for several months, the trees died, there was only one plum tree in front of the house. After the water season that year, Grandfather entered the resistance base before he had time to replant some new plum trees around the house. Uncle Hai was only ten years old, without a father, he taught himself how to take care of the tree and nourish the only remaining plum tree that did not die despite experiencing many floods. That year, the plum tree blossomed with big and delicious fruit, Uncle Hai climbed up and broke almost the whole basket, loaded it into a backpack, and carried it to the base for his father. But who knows, that was also the last time he saw his grandfather. After that time the base was bombed, he turned into clouds and wind, but his grandfather still lived with the breath of the mountains and forests of his homeland, with the plum branches he cultivated. Grandma said, my grandfather lived a holy life, so over the past few decades with so many flood seasons, the plum tree is still green and growing bigger and bigger. Uncle Hai’s plum garden from the mother tree in the front yard is also growing. Peace restored. The plum trees from the fruit of two generations have a chance to pay off. But it was only four years before the border had an enemy. Uncle Hai followed the call of the mountains and rivers, put on a small backpack and a water bottle, and set off. Before leaving, grandma still carried some plums in her hand, hoping that if she missed the road, there would be fruit to her stomach. Before we went to the border to pick up Uncle Hai, the bad season started to sow the wind. Because of the rustling branches of the tree or because the grandmother’s dreams were fluttering, she was always tired every morning. She said that last night, she dreamed that Uncle Hai came back. Uncle carried a backpack filled with stone plums. As she remembers it very well, she hugged Uncle Hai, crying bitterly: “Hai, where are you, my mother looked for me but couldn’t find me”. Uncle Hai said, Grandma affirmed that the voice was exactly the same as the old uncle’s voice, with no difference: “I’m going to plant plums, when the plum season is ripe, I’ll message my mother to pick me up.” After he finished speaking, he left, then the sound of plum branches rustling on the porch. Grandmother woke up in the phobia of the pain of losing her husband and children. She quickly ran to the yard of the house, stopped at the plum tree, looked at the river in front of the house, she called “Hai, Hai, where are you so that my mother can pick me up, Hai!”. After that delirium, my father thought that he must set out to find Uncle Hai. Dad goes from year to year. Every year during the summer vacation, he goes on the road again. Working hard across the border strip, in the end, heaven did not let people down. Dad grabbed a few clues about Uncle Hai, when he stopped at the foothills planted with plums and green fruits. My father reunited with his brother’s teammates. The uncles, the uncles recounted, when he first joined the unit, he boasted to his teammates that he had brought a “delicious” southern plum with him. But there are only a few fruits, how can I divide them equally among the units, so my uncle Hai spent time incubating and planting. Uncle fought while carefully cultivating the roots and watering carefully little by little for the plums that had just sprouted. In the severe cold northern seasons, you have to keep the plants warm so they don’t die. Uncle took care of plums like taking care of his hometown soul. The uncles and uncles said sadly, there was a time when enemy artillery suddenly bombarded the hill, my uncle died in that battle, but the plum trees he planted were still lucky to survive and turn green. My uncle lost his grave, it took several decades for his former comrades to find him, but he did not know where to find his relatives. The comrades laid him down beside the plum trees to overcome the fire, they tried to preserve and take care of the southern plum tree that his comrades had left behind on this land. The land was already slightly human, so the stone plum trees took root on the hills of the North. A few years later, when they produced green fruit, the teammates had the opportunity to return to eat a delicious piece of grass, but sadly missed a teammate. On the day of Uncle Hai’s reburial, in addition to the remains, we also brought back a few kilograms of plums from the tree he planted. Placed in front of Grandfather’s grave and Uncle Hai’s grave, white moon-smoky incense flies aimlessly… Strangely enough, the plums we brought back and the plums from the tree in front of the house were exactly the same, even though the two trees were grown in two different regions. differ in both soil and climate. Grandma sat in front of Uncle Hai’s grave, peeled a piece of stone plum and put it in my hand, her voice was cool and sweet as if it contained the aroma of plants and trees in the garden: “When you are old like her, you will understand. Just like the color of plum, memory is a color that lasts forever!”

Obsessed with broken nose lift In order to have the desired look, many people choose plastic surgery to enhance their beauty. In particular, the nose is the part that determines a lot to the aesthetics of the face, so many people lift the nose to improve defects such as: broken nose, rough nose, concave nose, straight nose…, making a mirror more beautiful face.

Nguyen Huu Hoat, working at the Aesthetic Clinic (a branch of Saigon Star Beauty Salon Co., Ltd.) explains the reason: “It is the result of customers trusting and choosing the wrong center. beauty, wrong esthetician. Currently, there are many spas and beauty salons “disguised”, not licensed to operate, but still blatantly open, advertising and welcoming guests. In addition, because there are not enough facilities, the team of “side-by-side doctors” are inexperienced and have no expertise, the surgical procedure is not according to medical standards, the lifting cartilage is not of origin … leading to damaged nose surgery for customers”. The price to pay for misplaced trust is the nose of complications. Broken nose plastic surgery not only affects the appearance, but also causes heavy psychological obsessions. Minh Nguyet – a girl who failed to fix her nose twice, shared: “I’m afraid to contact people around, cut off almost all relationships, work goes down, love has problems, my life seems to be completely reversed. Before rhinoplasty, I had 1 self-esteem, when my nose was damaged, I had 10 self-esteem. Spending a lot of money just hoping that the shape of her nose will return to normal, but never satisfied, Ms. Kim Nga – a person who has 3 failed nose plastic surgeries expressed: “I am obsessed with the scene lying on the operating table for anesthesia, Dissecting and removing cartilage, the pain persists. Now just talking about rhinoplasty makes me shiver. Just want to make it more beautiful but why do I have to fall into this situation? I don’t have the courage to think about getting my nose done again.” The opportunity to regain confidence and beauty Realizing the loss of the girls, with the desire to be able to accompany, share, and help customers improve their broken plastic surgery nose, ease psychological obsessions, Aesthetic specialist clinic cosmetology (branch of Saigon Star Beauty Salon Co., Ltd.) of Dr. Nguyen Huu Hoat organizes the program “Repair the broken nose – Cure the soul”. Accordingly, the clinic will sponsored completely free of charge for 3 customers who are suffering from damage caused by a broken nose. BS. Huu Hoat shared: “Customers will not lose any costs, just share your story, lucky opportunities will come to you”. “Repair a broken nose – Healing the soul” is a humanistic program Sharing about the reason for organizing this program, Dr. Huu Hoat expressed: “For 12 years in the profession, I have witnessed, listened to and cured many cases of broken plastic surgery nose. Thanks to that, I understand and sympathize with the loss of customers. In the program “Repair broken nose – Cure the soul”, a highly qualified doctor will be the companion of the customer in the journey to change appearance, directly examine, apply knowledge and experience to choose technically tailored to the customer”. BS. Nguyen Huu Hoat wishes to heal the mental “wounds” of the patients, helping them to be confident and beautiful again. Along with that, through the program, Dr. Huu Hoat wants customers to stay awake, learn more about the beauty salon, the doctor in charge before deciding to change their beauty: “I want everyone to say no to illegal establishments, “fake” doctors, so that no one gets into the situation: losing money, losing beauty.
