Born in Germany, Otto Bettmann at the age of 32 lost his job selling rare books when Hitler came to power. He ran from Germany to New York, USA with only 2 boxes of belongings and 5 dollars in his pocket. In particular, in those two boxes are the rolls of film and the number of photos Bettmann collected while earning a PhD in art history at the University of Leipzig. By the end of the 20th century, Bettmann had grown into one of the world’s finest private photo collections. By the time Bettmann arrived in New York, LIFE, Look and Time magazines were in their infancy but were rapidly gaining popularity. Bettmann became their source of photos, with rental fees ranging from $50 to $3,000. During her career, whenever and wherever possible, Bettmann was there to photograph events. Over time, Bettmann has amassed a huge stock of photographs, by purchasing the rights of other paparazzi. Bettmann is also known for being rigorous and discerning when it comes to choosing photos. He typically turns down most of the 100,000 images his employees put on their desks every year. After the acquisition of UPI’s photo archive, his collection grew to 11 million, but some estimate it could be as large as 19 million. Bettmann’s archive is now housed in an underground cave system that used to be a limestone quarry. In 1998, the Boston-based “Iron Mountain” company renovated and leased it as a storage facility with customers such as data centers, television networks, etc. In addition to special security, the “Iron Mountain” facility features a fire department, restaurant, water treatment plant, and 150-acre underground lake. Nearly 2,500 people work in the cave daily, like a small city. The Bettmann Photo Collection has the same conditions of preservation as the Smithsonian or the National Archives; but this is a commercial organization that provides photographs for newspapers, magazines, books, television and academic research activities for a fee. Negatives are carefully inspected and maintained in a approximately 1,000-square-foot facility, equipped with Verilux lamps to provide vitamin D to staff. This photo archive is cross-categorized and indexed into 50 groups, 5,000 subject categories, and thousands of subcategories. “What Bettmann has created is a visual history of the world categorized by subject,” the New York Times said. One of the iconic images of America in the Bettmann Archive is a photograph of President Harry S. Truman gleefully holding up the incorrect headline on the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune misinforming his defeat before Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 Presidential election. The haunting image of President Abraham Lincoln towering over his Confederate generals at Antietam is one of many Civil War photographs in Bettmann’s photo collection. The Bettmann Collection contains some of the most recognizable photographs of the 20th century: Group of construction workers atop the 70-story Rockefeller Center building in Manhattan Or the legendary photo of Marilyn Monroe taken in September 1954 in the movie 20th Century Fox This Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph depicts a Vietnamese mother with her children wading across a river, fleeing US bombing on September 7, 1965. This photo shows that Americans clearly understand what really happened during the Vietnam War Picture of the tragedy that occurred with the Hindenburg airship in 1937. It exploded upon landing at Lakehurst Airport, New Jersey, after a transatlantic flight, killing 36 passengers. Bill Gates bought the Bettmann collection in 1995. In 2016, billionaire Bill Gates sold the digital rights to valuable photos that were in danger of deteriorating over time. Most of the Bettmann Repository currently does not post photos online but is issued in hard copy. Bob Ahern, Director of Archives Photography at Getty Images, estimates that to date, only 1% of the entire collection has been released to the public.

Currently, the official information about the design of the Ferrari Purosangue is revealed to be just a sporty SUV with a flexible design. Ferrari Simoom. (Photo: Dejan Hristov) Recently, designer Dejan Hristov tried to visualize this new SUV by incorporating design elements from many other current Ferrari models. The result was a pattern called “Simoom” after one of the famous Arabian desert winds. Ferrari Purosangue is expected to be a sleek, smooth car with a sophisticated design. However, Hristov’s design has the opposite direction and looks extremely fierce. (Photo: Dejan Hristov) In addition, the Ferrari Simoom is also sportier thanks to its coupe-like overall appearance, while the original B-pillar has been replaced with a large C-pillar. The front of the car has large air vents and has removed the usual grille. (Photo: Dejan Hristov) At the rear, the openings of the LED taillights combine beautifully with the highly placed dual exhaust pipes, but reversing the car will be a challenge when it has no rear window. Perhaps Hristov thinks the car will be equipped with an advanced camera and sensor system to assist in parking. Therefore, the following window is an unnecessary element. Hristov did not mention the powertrain in the Simoom design, but Ferrari has stated that the Purosangue will have a V12 engine, producing around 800 horsepower. (Photo: Dejan Hristov) As expected, the first SUV model of Ferrari will go on sale in 2024.

Located behind a thick iron door in the lobby of the building, the bunker ensures the safety of the building’s residents in the event of attacks. While some residents have their own private cellars in their homes, shared shelters in the lobby of buildings can help anyone, even passersby, quickly enter. Usually, this bunker is locked and becomes the people’s storage. However, when there is an emergency situation, the main door will be opened. Each building resident has a key to the bunker. Inside, residents leave luggage bags containing essential supplies such as water, snacks and spare batteries to be able to sustain life for a period of time. The cellar also installed two air conditioners to ensure air for people sheltering inside. The bunker has only one window and is surrounded by an “iron wall”. From the moment the rocket was launched from the Gaza Strip, the people of Tel Aviv had about two minutes to get to the shelter. Meanwhile, those who are closer, such as those living in the cities of Ashkelon or Sderot near the Gaza Strip, have less than 30 seconds to reach safety. Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system is said to be able to intercept about 90% of incoming missiles, but the constant rain of rockets from Gaza in recent days seems to pose a challenge. defense system that Israel has always been proud of.

This is the work with the most unique architecture of Ha Giang province, ranked by the State as a national architectural monument. This has made many tourists curious and determined once to come to Ha Giang to explore. “The King’s House”, the name Ha Giang people still used to call Vuong Chi Sinh mansion area Entering the mansion, the first impression is the tall, straight rows of sandwood trees that are hundreds of years old. The stone gate of the palace appeared superficially carved subtly. The gate is curved, winding with bat wings – the symbol for the word “blessing”. The wooden gate roof is exquisitely carved, with many patterns. The palace is nearly 100 years old, King Meo has hired many excellent Chinese and Mongolian craftsmen and thousands of workers, built the mansion day and night and built within 8 years to complete, the total area is up Up to 1,120 square meters, the owner of the house had to spend 15,000 dong Dong Duong white silver to build, equivalent to 150 billion Vietnamese Dong at that time. The mansion architecture simulates the citadel architecture of Qing China, combined with Mongolian patterns and selected with French architecture such as fireplaces, bunkers … The Vuong Dynasty is the residence and fortress of the Vuong family, the Mong ethnic group in Dong Van district. The palace has 3 palaces, middle and queen, with 64 rooms, large and small, can accommodate about 100 people. Between the rows of closed 2-storey bungalows is a large, light courtyard. Surrounding the house is a garden with many types of trees: safflower, cinnamon, peach, pear, flowers … The unique feature of the mansion lies in the structure and layout of the rooms. The mansion is like a solid fortress, with thick walls, built of green stone, terracotta tiles and wooden furniture in the rows of stone pine. The owner of the house is Mr. Vuong Chinh Duc (1865 – 1947). More than a century ago, with the profession of growing and trading opium, the Vuong family dominated the entire vast highlands and was called the Meo King by local people. The opium warehouse in the Meo King mansion. The palace has 2 basements for defense, with a storage of assets, an arsenal, opium warehouse, and the layout of the rooms is like a miniature citadel. The house was built of eternal green stone, very hard rocky mountain pine and was very resistant to termites. Tile green gray yin and yang can resist heavy hail The “cat” symbol is engraved on the stone column. At the time of building the mansion, there were no tools to help, the roads were extremely dangerous. Therefore, the mansion is completely handcrafted by the Mong people. All stone materials are carved by the local people by hand and then transported from 7 km away to build houses. Another highlight of the palace is the sculpture art in parts of the house, bearing the imprint of the royal family, the mark of opium trade. Many stone details of the building are elaborately carved, cleverly bearing symbols for wealth and prosperity. Many stone details of the building are elaborately carved, cleverly bearing the symbols of wealth, longevity, prosperity. This residence is recognized by the State as a National Monument in 1993. All wood of the previous house is made from stone pine. Since it became the property of the State, the wood materials of the house have been altered about 60% by ironwood and crushed wood. The pillars are carved into the shape of a large jar-like poppy stalk, which resembles every detail, and is polished in white silver. The stair piers are also precious stone sculptures, bearing the silhouette of poppy flowers. The eye-catching, opium-shaped motifs on the rafters, left houses, doors and windows.

Old City Gate still remains intact The old, musty smell has been lingering for several hundred years like crowding around long-distance customers. From the endless dark alley emanates tiny, low apartments along the entrance, but since the Ly dynasty there has never been any sunlight. For the door and the only window facing a niche that didn’t even have any light for me. My street and West street When we were in high school, we used to bring fabric to a tailor shop on Hang Buom street. Her ten-square-meter room is powered up all year round, day and night. The greasy neon light is not enough to show the ancient green marble stones, which are covered with fabrics and accessories so that when the guests come in crowded, they just stand around the sewing machine and exchange soup. Don’t have a seat. The old town house often has a courtyard, from which it will make a sharp turn to the stairs leading up to the “mysterious” apartments on the second floor, for a time there were countless articles about the horror of public toilets on it. So the house still has a few square meters, where did we get the toilet? Yet, people still appreciate each square of the old town. I have a neighbor who lives in the same apartment building, who has moved in Hai Phong, and is also the parent of a student in my daughter’s class. Her house is 150m2, corner, light is full, but still cramped. The day the parents gathered for a picnic, she said if the old town family would give it or not, she would not live. I’d rather go to the woods better. Seeing this, a parent in the old town opened his heart to criticize, and since then, an argument broke out. Someone who told them to live in the forest was less miserable. Some people called for living in the old town to be as happy as a king. Anything is available, just walking three steps to buy what they need. I sat and listened, just like a Western man with a Ta quarreling over which cheese or shrimp paste is more fragrant. The second Old Quarter is actually the old one – formed during the French colonial period, starting in the south and east of Hoan Kiem lake and then extending down to Ba Trieu and Nguyen Thai Hoc streets. If the “Hang” quarter was crowded like a chess board, designed to match the general character of the Vietnamese, then the ancient French area was square and scientific, the most beautiful place was Trang Tien Street. Along with it are Hai Ba Trung, Ly Thuong Kiet, Tran Hung Dao, Nguyen Du, Tran Nhan Tong. Thien Quang Lake is the boundary that ends this old French quarter. From Van Ho, Kim Lien, Bach Mai onwards, the French did not live. They built houses to serve French officials and senior staff. Therefore, Indochinese architecture in the old French quarter has really become a specialty of Hanoi. The streets running from the beginning of Sword Lake in the North, to the South, towards Thien Quang Lake are Hang Bai, Hue Street, Ba Trieu, Quang Trung, Quan Su, Tran Binh Trong, connecting with the horizontal streets into one the luxury center of the Capital. In that place, Thien Quang Lake is the soul with the cool scent of milk flowers. I grew up in this area and heard my mother tell me about the people of that area, since the time when the French legionnaires were still walking around on Nguyen Thuong Hien’s sidewalk. She also mentioned that at the beginning of the street in the East (Vu Huu Loi street) was the musician Van Cao, the writer Nguyen Tuan at the end of the street in the west, the writer Tran Dan in the middle of the street. Artist To Ngoc Van was at the town of Yet Kieu, writer Te Hanh, Nguyen Van Bong and a number of big names drove across Nguyen Thuong Hien. As for the families of To Hoai and Kim Lan, they are also on Tran Quoc Toan street. Isn’t the Thien Quang lake land in a favorable time? Trang Tien Street and the Opera House in the French colonial period Childhood imprints I was born and saw the old French houses surrounded by confetti on the walls of the mansion, giant green shutters, moss-speckled yellow walls, ancient iron gates and even more. a large, quiet tiled yard. Even now, if you ignore the cafes, restaurants and fashion shops on the ground floor and look up to the balconies with the original Indochinois style (room away from Indochina), a dreamy sky is still there. Many times I think that my taste has been raised a few levels because since childhood, it has been covered with sight by this beautiful space. My primary, middle and high school are located right next to Thien Quang Lake. During the military training week, we were also brought to the edge of the lake by the teachers to train under the shade of the milk flower trees that had not yet reached winter. Then at the end of the session, they walked along Quang Trung Street and returned to school. Anyone who was not able to study would always flee to the other side of the road to come home. When I was in elementary school, I used to “stick as much as possible” to my father to Lo Su for snacks. Every time he turns to the dried cow mannequin in the shortest Hoan Kiem street in the capital, and he says he still eats there in 7th grade. That is, my father has been eating cow mannequins there for … decades. From the time of “the ancestor”, the cow mannequin was still ragging through the life of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as now. No wonder the ancestors of the culinary custom, Nguyen Tuan, Thach Lam, Vu Bang … all grew up in Hang Gai, Hang Bac, where delicious restaurants are available, so they are immersed in Hanoi’s food. Half a century ago, my father still has an immutable “culture” that perhaps only found in Hanoi and Saigon people, which is the habit of drinking morning coffee. If I go to the street and need to see him and cannot contact him, at that time, just visit the coffee shop in the Tran Hung Dao area, the Opera House will find him between two dozen gray-haired women. They are journalists, photographic artists … who had a relationship with him for three quarters of a century. After decades of being a friend, I met each day even more than I was snuggling with my childhood friends. Residents of the old town, they know by heart each nail shop, clock counter, gas lighter pump shop, or the top box selling shrimp paste in the middle of Hang Be market. Even an old woman who specializes in thread turning needs to leave the wooden box on the sidewalk and then go upstairs to take a nap, but the customers know the way to call down. Ho Thien Quang The standard of love The people of the old town not only love the city and get drunk, but also pass the gene on to their children. Not my parents kept telling the fairy tales of the street every day, from the day Ly Nam De Street was still Love Street (because it was always so many trees and so deserted that couples went there for a walk. and confidently) before turning the city “Hang Tin”, specializing in selling computers, and there was always a lot of traffic jams in the next half century. Then I also manipulated these stories for my daughter every time I passed the architectural buildings of Indochina, dyed in the sunset light. “Mother always climbed the wall to hide from school here. In this corner of the lake, her mother and Ms. Thuy often take pictures with the red corn spreader. As for Le Duan street, my mother always rides her bike alone. This is the best mixed tea in the world that mom often eats every time she goes to tutoring ”. My daughter grew up in Cau Giay district, she looked at the old town blankly, and she loves the street so much that everything in the old town has become the norm. Not loving the street, writer Nguyen Viet Ha, a resident of Nha Chung Street, wrote “Con Giai old town” with pride that did not hide the distinction between the street and the peripheral … And painter Le Thiet Cuong, who owns an expensive house right on Ly Quoc Su street, is so arrogant that motorbikes do not go, cars do not drive … walk, too much, cycling, showing the I don’t have to go anywhere more than 500m. Writer Di Li Anyone who has urgent need to come knock on Ly Quoc Su’s door, otherwise they will just hang around the street. Busy, we had an appointment with 4 people by Thien Quang Lake, he said: “Wait a second, I rode there for up to 10 minutes”. So exactly 7 minutes later, I saw the old town artist in orange pants leisurely building his car at a milky tree. Perhaps Le Thiet Cuong thought, wherever the 10-minute bike ride is the standard.
