Mr. Lam and a hundred-year-old ironwood tree in the middle of a thousand years Born in the border area of ​​Huong Son district (Ha Tinh), Mr. Tran Ngoc Lam’s childhood (SN 1960, living in Khe Nam village, Son Kim commune 1) was attached to the forest. In 1990, when the State had a policy to mobilize people to receive forests for care and protection, Mr. Lam volunteered to receive more than 26 hectares of forests, including more than 20 hectares of natural forests and 6 hectares of planted forests. In order to protect the forest, he sought to restore the hill behind the house that was destroyed, badly damaged for many years. Mr. Lam recalled, the whole forest at that time was cut down, there were no trees with a circumference of more than 100cm. “Watching the trees grow up day by day, I am very happy. Protecting the forest is very difficult, because the forest is large, the people are few, while the people have no rights, so when they detect the loggers, they can only chase them out of their land. Mr. Tran Ngoc Lam During the period from 1990 to 1992, this forest was affected by the bluff exploitation, which affected the water source. In the summer, the wells in the village were dry at the bottom, some households dug more than 20m deep but still there was not a drop of water. Life is turned upside down, all activities rely on water from heaven and streams. Realizing that the harmful effects of deforestation are too serious, in addition to strictly protecting the existing forest tree area, Mr. Lam’s family borrowed a loan to plant acacia on the area of ​​production forest and enrich the natural forest area with tree species. Indigenous people such as green lim, doi, kien Kien… on average, he plants 3,000 trees a year. “After many years of eating and sleeping in the forest, looking back, the value of each tree is really precious,” said Mr. Lam, recalling the more than 30 years he spent in the forest. In order to admire the ancient ironwood trees, we were led into the forest by Mr. Lam and local ranger Doan Doanh Tuyen (Huong Son Ranger District). After climbing the pass, wading streams, the ironwood forest gradually opened up in front of our eyes, the higher we went, the dense forest, many big trees that 2 people couldn’t hug. As he walked, Mr. Lam pointed at the big tree stumps and read the name: “This tree is green ironwood, over a hundred years old, like this one two people can’t even hug; On the other side is the dot, the circumference is over 100cm. I have to go up here often, I’m very tired, but if I’m negligent, I’ll be the bad guy to cut it right away,” Lam said. The sixty-year-old man shared that, over the past 30 years, he has not had a single night of sleep because many loggers are trying to steal wood to sell. He was even threatened with death by a logger. Forest protection is not easy, eat the forest, sleep in the forest. There were times when family life was difficult, not eating enough, some people suggested that he cut down some wood to sell, but he still decided to keep the green ironwood forest, so that today the forest will pay back. Thank you for the old man with ancient iron roots over a hundred years old. Lam’s ironwood forest is like a “green lung” to develop ecosystems, prevent erosion, and prevent floods.

And I must also know how to chop it so that it is easy to peel off, because with my trunk is rough and hard, it takes half a day to chop my bulbs.

Especially when I went to the fruit-making room, I could not eat, because then I cut all the tubers.

Visitors visit two special skeletons at the Mutter Museum. They belong to people with strange diseases, to this day medicine is still incurable. Rare syndrome These two skeletons belong to people who have had an extremely rare condition, known as the Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, or FOP syndrome. FOP patients have muscles, tendons and ligaments that gradually turn into bones, causing the whole body to become stiff and unable to move. FOP syndrome is so rare that there are only about 700 known cases worldwide. FOP syndrome was first described around the 17th century. Until 2006, researchers discovered that FOP was caused by a mutation in the ACVR1 gene and that the condition could be hereditary. However, in most of the cases detected, FOP patients spontaneously developed genetic mutations, with no family history of the disorder. There is currently no cure for FOP. Normally, when a person dies, the connective tissue that holds the bones together is broken down, the skeleton collapses into a discrete mess. In order to display a human skeleton, usually in museums and laboratory specimens, they must be assembled with fine wire and glue. But the two specimens at the Mutter Museum are naturally fused and adhered skeletons. Carol Orzel in the 1990s. Two typical cases The most famous of these patients is Harry Raymond Eastlack, whose skeleton is on display at the Mutter Museum. Harry Raymond Eastlack was born in 1933 in Philadelphia (USA) with a characteristic defect in the big toe, but obstetricians and obstetricians do not recognize this sign. When he was 4 years old, he was hit by a broken leg in a car while playing on the street with his sister. His injured leg was cast in a cast, but the fracture did not heal completely. Months later, the cast was removed but his leg became inflamed and swollen. Before long, Harry found it difficult to move his hips and knees. An X-ray showed that the bones in the boy’s thigh were abnormally developed. The abnormality then spreads along the back, neck, and chest. Harry underwent 11 surgeries in total, but these invasive procedures only exacerbated the boy’s condition as the body attempted to “repair” the damaged tissue with more bones. Despite suffering from a strange illness, Harry still had a relatively happy childhood. Like friends of the same age, he listens to music on the radio, reads books, plays cards with his sister and often goes to the movies. At the Hamilton Theater in Philadelphia, Harry has a special seat in the middle of the 7th row, which can recline and straighten legs. When Harry’s condition worsens, he has more difficulty with daily activities and needs help with toileting, eating, and dressing. At the age of 15, Harry’s jaws got stuck, preventing him from eating solid food and talking with clenched teeth. He had difficulty sitting, as the hips were one of the first motionless parts. Before long, the bone forms through the upper arm and extends onto the sternum, pressing the arm to the chest. Bone fragments stretched down his back and the bones extending from there to the skull caused his neck and head to “lock” hard. The skeleton of Harry Raymond Eastlack seen from behind. Over the years, new bone growth caused his pelvis and thighs to form. One time, Harry accidentally bumped his butt into the fireplace, leaving a bruise, then the smooth tissue there was destroyed, making room for new bones to form. In the end, the boy’s movements remained only in the eyes, lips, and tongue. Harry died in 1973, just six days before his 40th birthday. Near his death, Harry told his sister that he wanted to donate his body and medical records to medicine to study and learn more about the disease. In 2018, Harry Eastlack’s skeleton was combined with another skeleton, belonging to Carol Orzel, who also suffered from FOP, on display. Carol was born also in Philadelphia, in 1959. With FOP, she needs help with eating and dressing because she cannot bend her elbows. Despite her disability, Carol enjoys painting and drawing with a stick-like medium that replaces her motionless elbows, wrists, fingers and neck. She paints the landscape and makes a very beautiful greeting card. This stick also helps her to put on makeup. Carol loves fashion and has a spacious wardrobe that has been modified for convenience, making it easy for her to take them out and wear. Carol died in a nursing home, where Harry spent his final years. She also decided to donate after learning about Harry and seeing his skeleton at the Mutter Museum. Currently, both Harry and Carol’s skeletons are recognized as invaluable artifacts in FOP research.

According to coach Giang Son (Hanoi), in order to have abs, the practitioner must ensure 2 basic conditions including: Percentage of fat and abdominal muscles. Abdominal exercises only help us develop abdominal muscles and do not contribute much to changing fat percentage. This is also the reason why doing abdominal exercises every day also does not help the muscles show. Condition 1: The percentage of body fat (% body fat) is low enough Giang Son explained: “To see the abdominal muscle layer, the fat layer under the skin in this part must be thin enough. Simply understand, when you pinch the fat layer in the abdomen that is only as thin as the skin of the neck, the abdomen will surely emerge. “. The fat percentage is low enough with the thin layer of subcutaneous fat exposing the abdominal muscles. Artwork: BW. However, the belly fat layer will not be reduced if you only do abdominal crunches or planks … The reason is that the fat will lose steadily throughout the body based on the difference between energy intake and consumption. Therefore, a reasonable diet will be the most suitable solution. In addition, we can track the fat percentage based on some popular measuring methods such as fat clamping, using inbody gauges … For men, the percentage of fat to reveal belly fat is in the range 7- 13%. Meanwhile, this figure for women is 16-20%. Condition 2: Developed abdominal muscles The abdominal groove commonly seen in thin people is the basic structure of the human abdominal muscles. These people have a very low fat percentage but not high aesthetics due to lack of muscle growth. Therefore, for toned abs, the training to develop muscle in this area is necessary. To achieve that goal, coach Giang Son suggests some exercises for specific muscle areas in round 2 according to increasing difficulty: – Upper abdomen (Upper part): Crunch (belly crunch), Plate Crunch (belly crunch with disc weights), Cable Crunch (belly crunch with cable) … Lower part: Reverse Crunch, Lying Leg Raise, Incline Leg Raise, Band Resisted Leg Raise, Band Resisted Leg Raise Hanging Knee Raise, Hanging Leg Raise, Hanging Leg Raise … – Internal / External Oblique (Internal / External Oblique): Cable Band Wood Chop (Pull the cable to turn around), Russian Twist (Swing the belly to rotate 2 sides), Hanging Knee Raise Twist (Hanging the legs lift 2 sides), Side Plank … – Whole abdomen (Core): Plank, Toes To Bar (Hanging people to touch feet on the beam), Hanging Leg Circles (Hanging people swinging hips) …
